belly.

All of a sudden this afternoon I felt pregnant, sure enough I look more pregnant but I think it more has to do with the PB&J and oreo's I had with milk about an hour ago... either way, enjoy the growing bump.  Yes, Ryan got me the boots with the fur for my birthday!  Love them!

22 weeks....

birthday weekend.

We had a wonderful birthday weekend with my parents out in Palm Springs.  We got to relax, chat, play golf and just enjoy each others company.  It was nice and toasty but we got to spend a lot of time outside.  I didn't take as many pictures as I hoped.  We golfed at the JW Marriott which is such a beautiful course.  Sorry not much of a baby bump pic, I will take one later this week [especially because Krista hounds me every day for a new one]. 

Ryan made me porkchops, stuffing, applesauce and bite-sized sweet potato's.  So delicious!

22 weeks along and feeling great!  My mom commented that I have more energy now that I did before pregnancy!  Woo Hoo.

baby's movin'.

Ryan was very excited on Tuesday night when he got to feel our baby girl moving around for the first time.  We were going to sleep and she started to move so lucky Ryan got to feel her slight movements. 

This last weekend we went to a harvest party and we carved some pumpkins.  Most of the women there were pregnant which was very fun!  This created Ryan's idea for his pumpkin "Prego-Ween".  He did his free hand while I used a stencil for my "Welcome" pumpkin.

Work has been a bit crazy lately and I have been waking up to see the sunrise some mornings.  Here is a sunrise I got to enjoy last week!  This view plus the ocean breeze, a lovely early morning for me.

halfway done.

I am 20 weeks along.  Our little girl is the size of a cantaloupe. 

This weekend Ryan ran a 5K in Long Beach with his coworkers.  He did great [especially considering he didn't train] 22:56! So proud of him.  I love watching races, it reminds me of college going up to Pacific Grove to cheer on Ashley and Noelle for their half marathon and when Ryan and Ashley [and gang] ran the full LA marathon when it was 90 degrees!

 There was a mural of all these pregnant ladies... so here is the growing bump.

AND.... First win of the season yesterday for the Vikings!  Seahawks had an unbelievable game yesterday and had their second win of the season!  Woop Woop.

We decided to get away this weekend.  We headed up to Big Bear and met the McGuires.  It was so nice to just be outside, in nature, chatting, fishing, exploring, eating and just being.  I love the lake.  Reminds me of MN with mountains.  Fabulous.  We had to get a camping trip in before my belly grows!

It was a little chilly so I am wearing Ryan's shirt.  [and yes, we got a little sunburnt.]

I had my 19 week appt on Monday.  Our little girl is in the 52%, growing nice and strong.
