Easter

Lee and I spent Easter weekend in SC with my folks. This was taken at their house. Trying to take advantage of the moments when both of us are dressed up and we have someone else around to take our picture. Thanks, mom! This is me nearing the end of 23 weeks - a little over five months pregnant.

My birthday surprise (a month later)

I came home from shopping with Mom and my future sister-in-law to my dad playing happy birthday, reading the music off of Paul's Mac and Ben, Paul and Lee in chorus. The piano has been sitting in our church for a few years unused and the owners graciously gave it to us. What a wonderful surprise!!! This is me at my piano at 23 weeks (approximately 17 to go).

birthday weekend

Hey friends, this is me and my parents on February 24. They came to visit for my birthday. Paul, Ben, and his now fiance - Laura - were there too! So, it was a full house. I got the biggest birthday surprise of my life - a pic will be coming soon. Oh yeah, this pic was taken at 20 weeks.

It's a .....

BOY

Went to the doc yesterday and got the big ultrasound - so cool! God is amazing.
We're calling him Will, short for William - haven't decided on the middle name yet.
He's the size of a coke can. Got to see his brain, his heart, his stomach, legs, and his little boy part - hehe. Got two great shots of the feet. We could see where he had the hiccups.
I'll be 20 weeks on Sunday so we're about halfway there. Still can't believe there's a little human in there. But, he's started to move a little, so he reminds me of his presence occasionally. Feels like a little butterfly is in there.
Can't wait to meet my little Wills.

barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen

Well - almost! After all, I do have socks on. This is me at 17 weeks - even in maternity clothes, it's still not real to me yet.
