Tummy Update-23 Weeks and 4 Days (when picture was taken)

As you can see, my belly button has popped like a done turkey on Thanksgiving! I'm feeling great, so I'm trying to take advantage of it while I can. We've moved the old guest room furniture out of the nursery & we're ready to start painting. I'll post some pictures of the bedding & the wall paint soon.

She moves quite a bit now, and its so much fun! She's always active after a meal or a snack. Jeff is adjusting to feeling her move and thinks its less like aliens have snatched my body & more like there is really a little baby girl inside.

Say "hello" to Brooke & Jason Trachsel's new little one, Tanner Osburn! Born 9/24 at 8 lbs 14 oz.

What have we been up to lately???

Well, a quick rundown...I had a doctor's appointment today, and everything was fine. My blood pressure was elevated a bit (which is normal for me) so they upped my meds to 3 a day instead of 2 just as a precaution. We heard her heartbeat-which is always so fun! It was a quick visit, which I don't mind at all because that means Dr. Estrin thinks we're doing well. My next appointment is in 4 weeks and I'll have to do the sugar-overload test where they check for gestational diabetes. Then 2 weeks after that we get another ultra sound!!! I can't wait because she'll seem so big by then. By the way, as I'm typing this she is moving around like crazy. Jeff has felt her move twice-last night and today. He gets pretty excited & his eyes light up when he can feel her move.

We visited St. Louis last weekend for Trevor's 1st birthday. Christy made the cutest cupcakes, so I had to take a picture:

After that our camera malfunctioned and everything came out blurry (so bad I can't fix it in photoshop). It was adorable because when Trevor was eating his cupcake he got tired and rubbed icing all over his face and in his eyes.

Chris was so excited about the birthday party, that he decided to dunk a few balls and teach the boys a lesson!

Cory and Beth were in town earlier this summer and we went to a Royal's game with them.

We have TONS of pregnant friends right now. This is at a shower for Amber Grice (denim jacket). I was 18 weeks and 3 days in this picture.

Jeff is begging for the computer so he can play some Camelot dungeons and dragons game with Ryan. We owe you an updated belly picture because I'm really getting big now. I'll post again soon-I promise it won't be so long inbetween this time.
