15 Weeks - Baby at the Beach

This weekend we enjoyed a trip back East and couldn't resist introducing our little one to the ocean.  It might be just the sound of the waves for now, but before we know it our little one will be running in and out of the water!

14 Weeks

Officially in the 2nd trimester!  Right now, the weird thing that I'm having to get used to is my belly button slowly turning itself inside-out!  I wasn't expecting that to happen quite so soon!  :O  As you can see, this photo was taken outside on our balcony - thankfully the smoke from the fires in Northern Colorado has mostly subsided and we're happy to be able to spend more time outdoors.  Although the indoors is feeling a lot more comfortable now, too, thanks to recently installed A/C!  Yeah!

12 Weeks

Here is a happy Mommy-to-be!!!  I'm so glad everything checked out at our 12 week appointment. This weekend we are spending our afternoons purging the basement as part of our preparations for our new arrival (though, of course the baby won't be in the basement!).  I took some time earlier today to experiment more with baking under the restrictions of my diet and made some delicious lemon blueberry scones - yum!

Baby at 12 weeks

Look at all those precious parts you can already see at 12 weeks - it's a little baby for real!  During this 12 week visit we also got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time.

We caught the baby on camera sucking his or her thumb! Already a self-soother - how sweet is that?  :)

Sunday at Eldorado Canyon State Park

We decided to escape the smoky air from the High Park Fire and head southwest into the mountains.  We enjoyed a picnic relaxing in the canyon alongside a creek.  Here are the girls lounging in the shade, happily enjoying some time outside.

10 weeks

Just starting to show, and I can feel the difference.

Baby at 9 weeks

Ultrasound at 9 weeks - keep your eyes peeled for some movin' and kickin'.
