First Visitors

We were so excited to have friends, Sarah and Preston, spend the other weekend with us.  Our time together was too short, full of excitement, and definitely much needed!  We spent our first afternoon together in New Orleans.  The highlight of this adventure was watching the kids break it down to some local musicians in Jackson Square.  Over the next day and a half, the kids baked cookies, painted, and played at a local park on the beach.  We are just so thankful that they stopped by to see us!

Pregnancy Journal: 22 Weeks


This post is a week late due to us finally closing on our new house a little over two weeks ago.  A blog post about that adventure will be in the near future.  As far as the baby boy goes, all is going well.  He and I are both growing at a steady rate.  His heart is beating at a steady 150 bpm.  I did have my first experience with round ligament pain during our move.  I did not know if I was working myself too hard or if baby boy was just stretching my insides.  The doctor told me it sounded like round ligament pain.  I was curious about whether my blood pressure was going to be high because of the stresses involved with moving, but surprisingly, it was actually on the low side.  The doctor said since I was not having any other symptoms it was nothing that should alarm us.  I have also turned into somewhat of a cookie monster.  I cannot get enough cookies!  I just want to eat them all the time, so I do.
