Being Pregnant

It's interesting being pregnant. It's really quite fun right now. I am not feeling morning sickness anymore, I'm not so huge that I "can't wait to get this guy out of me!" and I can feel him move all the time! Yes, it's a boy, for all those who don't know :)

The funniest part of being pregnant so far is how all of these women feel the need to show me pictures of their latest grandchildren. I honestly can't count the amount of new born photos I've seen....maybe I can't count that high.....but still! They show me these pictures of babies like I should be jumping for joy about their "oh so cute" grandchild just because I'm going to have a baby in three months! But in their defense, I can see why showing off their grandkids is a fun thing to do, so why not seize the opportunity when you see a pregnant lady who works at a candy shop?

No stranger has tried to touch my belly yet, maybe I still need to get bigger.........I'm sure that adventure will come soon enough :)

New Addition

So Matt and I have been married almost 10 months now. It's been exciting, fun, and full of learning experiences. About two months ago we welcomed a new addition into our family. The first boy, Rocky Fillmore. He is a black lab and absolutely fun to have around. Our friends had puppies and they were at the end of the litter and wanted to be done with have puppies around all the time. So they offered to give us Rocky! (We re-named him Rocky....I think they had named him Beethoven, because he was the biggest puppy in the litter)

This picture is a picture of him the first day we got him.





and oh how he has grown! Here is a picture of Rocky at Matt's favorite fishing spot


He still looks like a puppy....but he's definitely a little more than 25 lbs now!!!!

He sleeps through the night and makes me go on walks every morning, so it really is a great deal! He loves to just hang out outside so I can just sit and read and he'll romp around for an hour or so and then come in and take a nap. Matt loves him too! When those two wrestle ....well you could just say, cheap entertainment :)

We are also expecting our first human addition to the family at the end of January. It's a boy! I'm pretty sure Matt has our son's football schedule planned out already.....so my bet is that he's going to be a musician :)

We don't have a scanner to put any ultra sound pictures up...but that's ok, as my dad put it "those are only pictures that mothers can look at and truly love".

So you'll just have to wait a few more months for those!
