Hello everyone..!!
We hope things are good with you wherever you are. Spring is finally starting to show up. Today was a beautiful 70 F (22 C) day with almost no clouds. We grilled some steaks on the deck and then took the dogs to the river for a swim.
The ultrasound picture is the last one that we'll see until Week 19 (We are now only 10 weeks). The next one will certainly look different than this one. So far, Hannalize isn't showing, but she comments that her pants are getting a bit tighter and that she has "lost her middle" a bit. Overall, the pregnancy seems to be going well and we're still very excited..!!
Today, we spread some flower seeds in the garden, and the daffodils are starting to show up. Other places in town have had daffodils for as much as two weeks, but our house seems to be a bit behind schedule. With the late snowmelt this year, we probably won't plant too much of a vegetable garden. We'll probably just buy our veggies at the farmer's market (or Costco).
The baby got his or her first stuffed animal this weekend. We went into Cabela's and ended up bringing home a stuffed Golden Retriever. The dogs were very excited about it and couldn't really understand why it didn't want to play back with them.
Take care,
Joel & Hannalize
