A Walk to Remember


Not much news to report at the Brazelton house.  We pretty much work, eat, watch TV, and sleep (none of which any of you care about!).  Mia and I have enjoyed taking walks to check out the new neighborhood.  On one walk in particular, I kept staring at my shadow in disbelief.  Is that seriously MY shadow staring back at me with the belly poking out?  When Blake got home that night, I had him take a picture of me just so I could see what the rest of the world was seeing...my shadow was not lying.  It was then that I decided to go out and purchase a full length mirror.  No more surprises on my walks from here on out!

Here is a picture of me at almost 18 weeks.  Hopefully we will find out soon whether "it" is a boy or girl!

The Fortune Cookie Says It All


This was my fortune cookie from two weeks ago.  Fitting for this time in my life, wouldn't you say?!  Sorry for the hiatus in my blog posts, I have been pretty busy.  We moved into our new house this past weekend.  Although we miss our roommates (Dan and Robbie), we are beyond excited to have a place of our own to get ready for the baby in the next few months (5 1/2 months to be exact but who is counting?...oh yeah the pregnancy countdown thing at the top of this page!).  I haven't even mentioned the most exciting thing that has happened since my last post.......
We have our dog Mia back!  She has been staying with Nana (my mom) since Thanksgiving getting spoiled no doubt.  We are so, so happy to have her back.  Thanks Mom for keeping her! 

Pregnancy stuff:  Things are still going well.  I take back my comment from my previous post about the glucose test being better than work.  That was a lie.  Work beats four different blood draws on an empty stomach across a span of 3 1/2 hours any day of the week!  My bump has definitely arrived, especially after dinner. 

15 weeks

16 weeks

What a difference a week can make!  Have a great weekend everybody and excuse me while I go eat some pickles :)
