16w3d - Is that the beginning of a second chin???

I had Chris take a few pictures of me so I can post a belly shot and it looks like a second chin is taking up residency on my face! Anyway, here are a couple pictures of me at 16w3d (dating done according to first U/S in November). So far I've gained between 6-8 pounds (it fluctuates) and according to our appointment yesterday everything is going along well and the baby's heartbeat is at 161. :-)

Christmas Pictures

Ok, so I know it's January 13th but here are some pictures of three of our nieces on Christmas morning at Nana's house along with some pictures of Win's ice masterpiece and our house with Christmas lights.

Just To Type Something...

Nothing new really to report except that I am developing a small baby bump. My jeans and some work pants are now a little too tight to button so I have started to use a hair tie along with a belly band to hide the fact that my pants are not buttoned. It works out really well, you can't tell at all and the band makes it look like I am wearing two tops instead of one. :-) Our big ultra sound is still a month away and we are trying very hard to be patient. We hope we to find out if it is a boy or a girl and will keep you all posted of course. I think I feel the baby a little now too, I feel flutters when I am either laying down or sitting very still. I think I have been able to tell which ones are gas and which ones are actually the baby. ;-)

Chris and I have started a new home improvement project on top of the Master Bathroom project (which by the way only needs electrical plates, paint, and accessories). He tore out the hall bathroom downstairs so it is completely bare right now (except the vanity) and we are getting plenty of exercise walking up and down the stairs to go to the bathroom (which I do a lot of these days). I will post pictures when we have completed them both, which should be by the end of this month (Finally!).

Well that's all for now, hope you are all well and enjoy the new ticker that shows the growth progress of our little one. :-)
