16 weeks prego

Hard to believe we are already this far along. Things have been going really well though. This pregnancy has been a mirror image of my pregnancy with Carter. I did have about 2 weeks of random nausea, which I didn't have with Carter, but other than that it's the exact same. I hope that it stays this way because that pregnancy was AWESOME and I loved every minute of it.

We had our monthly doctor appt. Friday and things are going well. I am measuring perfectly and the baby's heart sounds great. They did some blood work to test for genetic disorders. It's the second half of the testing they do for that sort of thing. The first half came back all in normal range, which is always good news. Next appt. is in about a month and if baby cooperates we will find out if Carter will have a brother or sister! :)

Lately I have had a really hard time with clothing. I am in between sizes right now and that is the most annoying thing! I swear I have maybe 2 outfits that fit me right now and...well...I can't really wear the same 2 outfits to work every week! I am either looking like a stuffed sausage in my non-maternity clothes or I am swimming in the giant maternity clothes I have. It's a losing battle every single morning when I am getting ready for work. I guess only time will fix this one....

In other news, I signed Carter up for swim lessons! I am so excited to get him in the water. We signed up for a 5 week class that is 30 minutes every Saturday morning. If we like it we might sign him up for the next round in July. It's at Utah Pool and the best part is that it was only $20! Can't beat that! I tried....other places cost about $75! Looks like I'll have to get a maternity swim suit so I can get in the water with him. Not really looking forward to that...

Anyway, stay tuned for more updates. :)

What!? My little baby is 1? Who said that could happen?

Surely not me! Why can't they just stay little forever?

Well the time came...and went. Carter turned 1 on April 2nd. We had a great get together with our friends and family. It was a little crazy and I wasn't able to visit with everyone as long as I wanted, but it was so nice that we were all able to share Carter's special day with him. He got A TON of clothes and toys! So a BIG THANK YOU to everyone!! He loves all the toys he got and looks so handsome in his new outfits. :)

Here are some pictures from the party.
