Week 23

We spent last week visting Chad’s parents in Houston, TX.  Chad and I stayed one night at a very nice bed and breakfast downtown: La Maison In Midtown which I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Houston.  The prices were very reasonable and it was so much nicer than staying at a hotel.  We wandered around Midtown and the Art District and found this awesome wall.  Even though I was sick most of the week with some sort of cold/ flu thing we still had a great time with family and we got to swim at least once a day everyday in his parents awesome pool!

Week 20

We went with my family and my sister’s husband’s family to Door County, Wisconsin last week.  We had a blast riding bikes, hiking, eating and walking around all the quaint little towns.  It was so relaxing and we spent some great quality time together.  Ada had a blast and was the life of the party all week.  I think our favorite thing was riding bikes: Ada didn’t want us to stop after 10 miles.  She kept on saying she wanted to go faster.  I also loved the Cherry Stuffed French Toast at The White Gull Inn.  It was delicious. These photos were taken by my sis at her husband’s family’s home.  Their backyard and garden was magical and so relaxing.

Week 19

We found out 2 weeks ago that your brain and heart look healthy, that you are a major wiggle worm, that you have 10 fingers and 10 toes, and that you are a girl.  We are all so excited for Ada to have a little sister.  Ada is already talking about her baby seester and lifting my shirt up to talk to her.  Luckily this hasn’t happend in public yet.  Here are Week 19 photos taken by my lovely husband right after our ultrasound on Nashville’s pedestrian walking bridge.  Brittany’s youngest daughter Eva says you can see “Paris” from the bridge.   🙂   It’s definitely a must see when you are in Nashville.

Last Days of Summer

The end of summer is sadly upon us. Knowing our days of warm weather are numbered, we packed up the kids and took them to the Nashville splash pad at Riverfront Park…even with the threat of storms. Lucky for us the skies cleared up and the sun came out.  The Hollow was all ours. The babes loved every minute of it. It has everything kids love:  water, grassy hills to slide down, a teeter totter, and sand. It’s clean and has a great view of the Nashville skyline.  Not to mention it wears the babes out so they take super long naps…and who doesn’t love a super long nap. Worth every bit of energy to get there. The kids are already asking when we will be back.  Hopefully soon.

Announcement!

What better way to start off a new blog but with a belly bump series!  Yes one of us is pregnant.  But who?  😉  Lets hope it’s not Britt bc we all know she doesn’t need any more right babes right now (but she does make pretty cute ones).  She’s just going to have to hold mine when she gets baby fever.   So yes I’m pregnant.

I took photos every week when I was pregnant with Ada and felt some pressure from friends and family to do it again this go around.  I really just use that as an excuse to take them. 😉 I really do love looking back and remembering where my body started and ended up on my pregnancy journey, so if will be fun to have them again this time.  So here it goes.  I started taking them when I was 18 weeks pregnant, due New Years Eve.  Party!  Side note:  disregard any profanity you might see on the train behind me.  My sis took these for me and we were having so much fun hanging out on the tracks pretending we were little kids that we failed to see all the terrible things painted on the train.  I tried to not use those pics and crop the ones I did use so you couldn’t really tell.  Haha ooops.

WEEK 18

*Most photos on this blog will be taken by Brittany, Megan or their husbands but Megan’s sister graciously took these of Megan in downtown Nashville.
