18 weeks



Due to timing, I'm just going to be posting pictures every couple weeks. Life is getting busy for sure!

I am noticing a growing belly though I think others still don't notice. People at work don't necessarily notice on their own but I am happily sharing the news at this point. When I wear certain shirts, my growing belly certainly shows but other clothes hide it quite a bit. It probably looks like I just ate too much. :)

I am happy to be able to be active and have more energy while exercising. I tried to run a couple weeks ago (I've never loved running but thought I'd try to continue it intermittently) and developed horrible hip pain so that my have to not be continued. I won't complain as there are other types of exercise I enjoy more.

I'm noticing more and more flutters and little baby kicks. Amazingly, Chet has been able to feel a few of them if he is very patient. Our little baby must be a pretty active one as I know a lot of husbands can't feel movement for awhile!


It has been a beautiful summer in Seattle... really warm weather. My good friend, Mindy, was out visiting so we took a ferry ride over to visit some other friends on the 4th of July and have a BBQ. I also got to spend some time at my parent's house... cutie nephew Eli went in his little pool and entertained us all with his splashing. I sure hope our little one enjoys water as much as him!

We are headed to Montana next week so hopefully the heat won't be too bad. We have lots of miles to cover and family to visit and it will be my first longer trip in the car while pregnant. Good thing I don't seem to have to urinate frequently like some do (maybe all those years of being a nurse?) but who knows when you are sitting the care for hours on end.
