Not too sure what to think of this....
Then she decided she was good with it. :)
She really wasn't sure what to think when Bud jumped in though.
We of course had to include baby in the photo. I feel like we look A LOT alike in this picture, which doesn't happen often.
And, I tried on my dress for the wedding, which thank goodness still fit with room to grow. That was a huge relief... (I am 17 weeks in this photo.)
It was fun to be gone, but I was ready to be home. I had slight anxiety about leaving Lacey (which I understand is ridiculous, no need to tell me)...she and I had never been apart for more than 12 hours and even though she loves Bud, I still worried. Ask my parents--my favorite part of coming home from vacation was always seeing my dog, so I guess some things never change. :) She returned the excitement to see me, which made me very happy!
Our friends, the Roy's, are borrowing a boat from his parents for the summer and keeping it in our driveway since they live in an apartment complex. As a thank you to us, they have been generous enough to let us take the boat out anytime we want. We took the boat our on our anniversary, and I have to say, I don't know that many other anniversaries will match this one. We were on the boat for a while when Bud spotted some dolphins....so we waiting patiently and eventually there was a pack of about 10 dolphins swimming around us. It was SO cool. We were just amazed at how curious they were; they would swim under the boat and come up right at the front of the boat and jump. I have some videos that I am trying to cut to get the highlights on here, so stay tuned. But, here is a photo of 2 of them... (Click on the picture to make it bigger, and they are to the left of the boat.)
And here is my 19 week belly on the boat this weekend...I believe I have "popped"!
We aren't sure of our plans for the long weekend, Bud is just thrilled at the idea of having a day off! He has been working so hard, I am so proud of him. This school is not easy in any way shape or form, but he is enjoying it and kickin some butt...his average is over 95.
AND....Tuesday we get to see if I get to buy pink or blue!! We are both very, very excited.
In case I don't post again this week, hope everyone has a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend!
I love how young Bud looks. :) (I like to think I don't look any different, but my 15 extra pounds prove me wrong.) We had no idea where life was going to lead at that point, we just really hoped that somehow it would end up with us together.
We celebrated our second wedding anniversary on Sunday and are loving the path our life is leading so far. We are so excited about becoming parents and continuing the adventure that is military life.
16 weeks
I have a baby appt tomorrow and am hoping to make my "big" ultrasound appt then! I can't believe I am already 4 months into this pregnancy, it is going by very quickly.
One last picture to share just because it's precious. This is what I came to bed to one night last week....
She really loves him. One of these days I will have to record her reaction when she hears his motorcycle coming down the road, she acts as if he has been gone for months, it is so sweet. We are both so thankful we came across Lacey--we don't know what we would do with out her!
PS--I finally figured out what to do to be able to enlarge the pictures once they are posted. So, if you click on the pictures in this post and all new ones from now on, you will be able to enlarge them! :)
I am so excited to finally have this put together and be able to hang it up. Now the question is where...it took me 2 months to hang anything in this house, so don't hold your breath that it will be up anytime soon. Bud hasn't decided exactly what he wants to put in with the other flag, so we will only have the one hanging in the house for now.
This flag was from his deployment in 2007...those of you who know me well should be impressed that I knew exactly where this all was considering the amount of moves it has been through since then!
