Mason's first day of school (1st grade!)

Pregnancy Highlights: (I will post a picture soon...need to take one first!)

How Far Along: 17 Weeks
Size of baby: Baby is 5 inches long and the size of a turnip (huh?)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I was down 2lbs at my last appt. and as of yesterday was back up to where I started. So I lost two and then gained two. :)
Maternity Clothes: Sometimes
Gender: Not finding out
Movement: Nothing certain yet
Sleep: I lose sleep because of Natalie and having to use the bathroom 57 times each night. And the dreams I have each night are CRAZY!
What I miss: Feeling good and having energy
Cravings: Random
Symptoms: Tired!
Best Moment this week: Hearing baby's heartbeat at my appointment yesterday

*Edited to add...
I wasn't able to find a picture taken around 17 weeks (other than the ones above) so here's a couple from around 20 weeks, I think.  Just so I remember...

 

14 weeks

I know myself...I most likely will not get around to starting a baby book for the newest little-to-be until he/she is at least 2 yrs. old. Natalie doesn't even have one yet and Mason's hasn't been tended to in years. A few bloggers are doing weekly posts on their pregnancies and I thought it was a great way to remember things. I'm still debating on whether or not I'll add a weekly picture. Maybe!

Boating

This picture was taken in July while we were boating on Big Marine Lake. It was a beautiful day...until we drove all the way up to the lake, put the boat in and got out to the middle of the lake. The sun disappeared and it started raining! We decided to stick it out for awhile, jumped in the water and subsequently froze our tushies off.

We spent Labor Day on the St. Croix river with some friends. Docked in Prescott and had lunch at the Muddy Water cafe. The food was so good! Guess who remembered her camera but forgot to take it out? Grrr...

First day of school pics coming soon!
