28 Week Belly

Here is the most recent belly picture of me.

A few things I have LOVED during this pregnancy:

• feeling my baby boy kick, roll and hiccup, even if it keeps me up at night
• hearing his heartbeat at every doctor visit, such a wonderful sound!
• watching my belly move and twitch when baby boy moves and kicks
• shopping for little boy clothing (everything is so little!)
• shopping for bedding, cribs, changing station, and everything else that is needed/wanted in his room
• trying to find the perfect name
• having my niece Anna hug my belly and her saying hi to her cousin
• seeing Cody smile every time I say "your son"

These are just a few things I wanted to share and remember. A few things I don't love about this pregnancy is the worry I have for my son since I found out I was pregnant. I worry about how he is doing every day, I worry about his future, I worry about all the little things I probably shouldn't even worry about. But, apparently, this is what it means to be a parent. :) I have had many people tell me that this is totally normal, and that the worry will never stop. :) I am just so excited to meet our little guy, only 12 weeks left before we get to see his little face!!

Fall Weather...

So, I visited Utah last week, and the day before I left for Utah, I was taking Vega for a walk, and it was such a pretty day, I had to stop and take a picture.

And the first morning in Utah, I woke up to this...

Thankfully that snow storm mostly melted by the end of the day, and didn't snow again until the day I left, but it was kind of funny. :)

As usual, during my visit to Utah, I forgot to take pictures. I get so busy seeing everyone and trying to get all the yummy foods in, I totally space pulling out the camera, and pregnancy brain didn't help with the forgetfulness. But it was wonderful to see my family, as it always is. Our next visit should hopefully be during Christmas time if all goes well with the doctor, and we will be driving so we can bring the Vega puppy.

While I was gone, it was apparently just beautiful fall weather in Seattle, and Cody got some great pictures of the trees and of Vega, so I just had to share.

And a silly picture of the Vega puppy!
