Disney



This weekend we visited Orlando with some friends and enjoyed Saturday exploring the Magic Kingdom :)
Baby B's first trip to Disney!

Family of 3!
 A few pics from Buzz Lightyear





And we couldn't leave the park without this picture.  I know everyone remembers taking the exact same one when they were 6.  




I couldn't do the roller coasters, but I did get some good pics of everone else :)



We spent the rest of the weekend relaxing, cooking out and spending time with family!  Baby Best hit 17 weeks on Sunday so we took a picture.  He/she is the size of a baked potato (About 5 ounces and a little over 5 inches.  Baby B is growing and so am I.  :)  We find out Easter weekend what we'll be having. 

17 weeks

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Baby Best :)

Our family is growing!!!  Just after Christmas we came back to Atlanta and fell back into our routine quickly.  Until... Dec 29th and our whole world turned.  In a wonderful way!  We found out we are expecting our first child.  Due Septemeber 2nd!  We were about 4.5 weeks.  You know, it's funny... because I had a strange feeling eating at me the night before telling me I was pregnant.  I confessed my thoughts to Nathan and we brushed them away.  There wasn't really any good reason I should think this way, but it kept nagging at me.  Those who know me well also know Katie and I had another sister, Krista, who passed away when she was 11.  December 28th was her 31st birthday and I truly believe it was her telling me the news because she knew first!  She always has been my guardian angel :)

Happy parents to be attempting to photograph ourselves :)
We spent the night skyping and calling our families to share the big news!  Yeah, we didn't wait to share with everyone.  Just you all!

I'm currently 14 weeks along and moving into the second trimester.  1/3 of the way there!  Woohoo!  I've had a fairly easy time so far.  Other than fatigue and my forever growing appetite I feel normal.  No morning sickness!  Thank goodness.  :)  I'm not as tough as some of my friends.  

Here is our little bambino at 7 weeks.  He/she is tiny, but you could see our baby's heartbeat pounding away on the ultrasound screen.  Seeing this was the most amazing feeling.
Baby Best
And because I want to be able to look back on the different weeks of pregnancy I'm taking pictures. :)  I should have started when we found out, but I was lazy.  Very lazy.

8 weeks!
12 weeks!  Baby is the size of lime :)

14 weeks!  Baby is the size of a peach :)
As of 4 weeks ago I had already gained 2 lbs...and that was on top of whatever I gained over Christmas.  Yeesh!  I'm guessing its more like 4 now, but we shall see at our doctor appointment tomorrow!  Thank goodness Mom is coming this weekend and we're going shopping!  For clothes, nursery, strollers, all things baby :)  Please keep Nathan and I, but mostly Baby B in your prayers.
