18 Weeks



Had my five month appointment yesterday. The doc said everything looked great. He said the heart beat sounded really strong and that my weight gain was right on track. I have to be on the upper end of my range because of pre-pregnancy weight. It is a little freaky being the first time I have weighed this but its for a good cause. =) We will take so official pict's in the weeks to come but time is just flying by. I can't believe that we are almost halfway through the pregnancy! I have started feeling little kicks here and there, nothing continual yet. Right now is has felt like someone is poking me with a pencil eraser. I am excited for the kicks to get a little more predictable so Adam can feel them. Adam has been telling Achilles to go say hi to his brother or sister and he comes and pokes my belly with his nose. Very weird cause we didn't train him to do this! He has gotten a little more protective of me as well. It is so amazing how God has equipped animals. The cats have just tried to sit on the new belly. It is such an amazing journey! I am so in awe of God and his plan for new life! I am also so grateful He has allowed me to be here!

First Big Snow

Achilles playing in the snow for the first time! He loves it. Adam would throw snowballs at him and Achilles would then spend five minutes trying to dig them up. Notice my insane husband in short sleeves.

snow mustache!






Achilles warming up.. actually how he spends most of his mornings





Psyche doesn't approve of the cold weather she has been sitting in her box waiting to be shipped home all weekend.
It has been so fun having the snow already.... I may not be saying this in April, however. It just makes everything so beautiful!! I have really enjoyed being back in the seasons. It seems to make all the holidays seem "real".
