CCHHHHHEEEEESSSSEEE!!!!

Truett ate some cheesy chips and we didn't wipe his mouth! Silly mommy and daddy! But it sure does make for some CUTE pictures!

Oh boyhood is calling.... outside

My first midwife appointment...

went well, it was last Tuesday. We mainly visited and went over my H&P (History and Physical). I met just one of the midwives that is at the birthing center. Her name is Lynnette and she is WONDERFUL! We discussed my due date and she said that it doesn't really matter which day I'm due... we'll just say the week of Thanksgiving. We will take the earliest date now and if we go over we'll use the latter date to figure out when to induce! Works for me! I had not gained any weight, my blood pressure was 82/62, normal for me. I was 8 weeks and 1 day.

Today I'm 9 weeks, about the same. Although, I do notice that at night I have that "stuffed" feeling. I will be 12 and a half weeks for my next appointment, I'll meet the back up OB, the guy who I'll see should an emergency occur. My next appointment won't be until I'm 18 weeks. I really didn't want to have many appointments at the beginning of my pregnancy, all that is done is talking and weighing. I'd rather have "big" appointments, you know, where we get to measure, discuss, review, and get some stuff done. The trip is a little under and hour and a half, so the fewer the better.
I'm super excited about the birthing center, it's family oriented and very cozy. I am so glad we are using this route.

Oh how I love TRACTORS!

Daddy and I rode on Paw Paw Pete's the other day and I was in love....

Beautiful Weather...

and an Easter Egg Hunt, the Resurrection Story and great food! Thank you, sweet Amanda for your everything! We met with Mrs. Amanda, Mrs. Challie, and Mrs. Misty, Anabelle, Sidney, Chloe, and Maddie at the Burlew's. The little ones loved playing inside and out. Truett loves the egg hunt and all the children sat still and quiet (relatively) quiet the whole time.

Look at the different ranges of emotion!!
Truett says "Exit stage left!"

Thank you, thank you!

Here's a kiss for all my fans out there! High Nanna and Maw Maw!

Super Sunday Naps

Sweet, sweet, SWEET Truett. I wish this would never end!!

Do you play your air guitar?

Truett loves to play his "guitar". He has several shirts with a guitar on them and he acts like he is playing it. If he doesn't have one on his shirt he pretends. He loves jumping on our bed, so, when you combine them you get a rock star! He likes to play air drums, trumpet and violin, but nothing compares to his "guitar".

Rock On, Truett!

Daddy Day

Last week when my best friend and I and our mother in laws went on a shopping trip, our sweet husbands enjoyed some time alone with their little ones. We had a blast and apparently they did too! Jeffrey and Wayne got together and fed some ducks/geese. I'm so thankful for a husband who knows when I need a break. It was so nice!

This picture is so funny, I was looking at it with the table, Truett, Jeffrey, and Anabelle in view. Then I looked in the background, and yes, they are at a cemetery!! How funny! There is a lot of ducks/geese there and a pond. I can't stop shaking my head... oh well!

Deja Vu!!!

I remember when I was expecting Truett how I didn't know I was expecting just because of the outward appearance. I mean I was tired and a little more hungry than normal, but come on, who hasn't had a day or two or weeks when they felt this way (when they were not expecting). I also remember a certain post on this blog.

I, also, can't believe how big I really will get. I will definitely tell more and more, but there will also come a time when people say are you due any day now or are you carrying two? That's how big you get. I just can't believe how much I can grow in 9 months and then how small it really can be again. God is so creative.

I probably won't post a picture but once every month or so, that way I won't completely bore you and maybe you can see a big difference when the growth spurt kicks in!

This was me and all my 9 months glory. I don't think I ever posted this....
this was right before I had Truett. This was a cell picture, my last one pregnant. Wowweee!
