Memorial Day Weekend in Erie







Craig and I spent Memorial Day weekend in Erie - spending time with both of our families. It was such a nice, relaxing weekend. I took plently of pictures of my sister's beautiful kids - but none of my growing bump. I'll be sure to get one up this week. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend.

Lovely Bennington VT

My work travel this week brought me first to Albany (not so cute of a city) and then to Bennington, VT. The little town of Bennington is cute and quaint and since there are hardly any hotels in the area - I get to stay here. It's a lovely B&B called The Four Chimney's Inn. It's such a great little place - and is made all the better by the fact that the site I am working at here makes me want to pull me hair out. Thank goodness for cute B&B's in the world of bossy controlling sites!

Busy Saturday


Craig and I spent Saturday planting little flowers through the little front yard we have. It ended up raining most of today - and the flowers and plants really responded. I jumped outside quickly to get some pictures of some of plants.

Way to go Placenta! We're so proud of you!

Last Friday we had another sonogram to check up on my low lying placenta. Back at our 12 weeks sonogram the doctor had discovered that my sneaky little placenta had maneuvered it's little self right over my cervix. I guess that if the placenta stayed where it was I would eventually be put on bed rest and would definitely need a C-Section delivery. The good doctor told me it would probably move on its own but we would need to keep checking on it. 
Well, last Friday we went in and that cute little placenta (not really sneaky anymore) had moved to right where we wanted it to be. Woohoo - Yeahhhh Placenta! Way to go! We are all just so proud of that placenta, including Arnold.

Practice Practice Practice




Tonight Craig and I baby-sat my friend's little boy, Jake. He could not have been more of an angel. He was so good and such a pleasure to have over. While playing on the carpet with him I took the opportunity to get some pictures of him. Here are my favorites. 


Maternity Shirts - not so flattering


While getting dressed for work this morning I decided to wear a skirt - I threw on an older non-maternity skirt and when it wouldn't zip - I just yanked the waistline up above my little bump and up went the zipper. Then I had a new dilemma - the new super high waistline would surely show through any shirt I had. So, I threw on a maternity tank and then a maternity shirt and voila - instant tent! I looked ridiculous. I didnt really look pregnant just like I decided to hide my middle section all together. At this point I didn't have the energy to find another outfit - so i took my Ringling Brothers getup and went to work. I guess I'll have to go shopping with my mom this weekend for some better options.

17 weeks




AHHH - I think my butt may have grown more than my belly! Seriously, at 17 weeks I find myself telling strangers - no this is not a beer gut, I am in fact pregnant. Craig and I even forget sometimes that I'm pregnant. Since I just have this little bump and I haven't felt the baby move it isn't hard to forget. My friend Stacey who is also pregnant took a picture of her feet a little while ago to remember that at one time she could still see her feet. Good idea Stace - here's my "remember when we could still see out feet!" picture.
