A sisters weekend!

My middle sister recently graduated college (YEA!!!) and is now living close to my mom and step dad, and my youngest sister in Central Texas. With my husband and I living in Katy, a little over 2 hours away, we don't all get to meet up as much as we would like!

A few weeks ago my two sisters and my youngest sisters boyfriend came down and stayed with us in Katy! We spent a day on the Kemah boardwalk and had a really fun time!

It started off with my husband wanting to go to the boat show. His big dream is to get a boat and has really tried convincing me to let him get one now by telling me how great it will be for our little boy to get to go out fishing with his Daddy! As you might already know, I am 5 months pregnant, so I'm thinking we have a few years to save up! haha

So we were not all super excited to go check out these awesome boats....but we entertained ourselves!

Here we are during our photo op :)

Don't mind the boat shoppers in the back ground! hahaAfter our photo op... I mean the boat show, we headed out for Kemah! We did a lot of walking and looking around at all there little shops. We then took a little break from the Texas heat and went into an aquarium to look at all the different types of sea creatures they had!

Before we knew it my husband had bought food for us to feed the sting rays!! It was actually a little wierd to feeling them eating from your hand!This is my husband getting ready to feed a sting ray and Sean, my sisters boyfriends, being "pregnant" with me with the basketball we had won at the arcade. Haha he is so supportive!

On our way out they had all these life like animals. Growing up my two sisters and I were taught by my Mom how to draw an elephant so it kind of became a symbol for us. We had to take a picture with the elephant and emailed it to our Mom!We finished the night by sitting and watching this cover band that was playing in the center of the boardwalk. One of the songs they sang was Proud Mary and when they got to the part that says, "Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river!" This cute couple was dancing right along with the music!It was so cute! At one point the husband stopped dancing and his wife hit his arm as if to say, "Keep dancing!" It was too funny!

Our "sisters weekend" was a lot of fun! I can't wait to get together again soon!

4th of July weekend!

My sister Megan and her boyfriend Sean came down and spent the weekend with us! We had a lot of fun hanging out, going to Babies-R-Us, watching movies, and then going to James' cousin, Sarah's, house to watch Fireworks!

About a week ago James and I found out the gender of our baby! (Post coming soon!!) So Megan and I went to Babies-R-Us to look at all the stuff and get ideas of what we thought would be cute for the baby! As you might know they have parking for expecting mommies and Megan thought it would be cute to get a picture by the sign ;) here I am with it!!If you could hear Megan, you would hear her telling me, "Live it up! Hold your belly!!" haha too funny!

I wanted a Mommy's 4th of July shirt and didn't know where to find one, so, I did what any improvising Mommy-to-be would do and made my own!And here we are waiting for the fireworks to start!Don't we all look so patriotic in our red, white, and blue?!?

I love the 4th of July! I love to patriotism, the fact that it is during the Summer, and of course all the fireworks! It is so crazy to think that we will celebrate our next 4th of July with our baby!!

Thanks Megan and Sean for celebrating with us!

This weekend was so much fun! Your aunt Katy and Megan, and aunt Megan's boyfriend Sean, came down to visit, and we hung out all weekend! We went shopping and visited Kemah! I can feel you moving around a lot more now and it is so exciting! Daddy got to feel you too! I was so happy! I woke up Saturday morning and I was very warm and cozy under our blanket. I think you were warm too because you came right up to the top of my belly and laid on my right side. I quickly woke up your Daddy and he rubbed my belly and could feel you sleeping. With all the blankets off, I think you started to get cold because I put my hand on my belly and could feel you slowly move back down. It was a really neat feeling!

Mommy and your cravings haven't changed alittle. We still like Taco Bell, but not as often as we did before :) We have really enjoyed Captain Crunch cereal, but our new favorite is Limon Lays potato chips! We LOVE these right now!!

I almost forgot, Mommy and Daddy are going to get to see if you are a boy or a girl in 15 days!! We are so excited! We can't wait to start really picking out your name! Love you bunches!

Love,
Mommy

Tomorrow you will be 15 weeks old! I can't believe how fast these 15 weeks have felt! These past few days I have been feeling a little thump inside my belly. It almost feels like someone is thumping me with there finger. Mommy's friends tell her that is what you feel like! I always grab my belly really fast to see if I can feel you outside my belly, but I haven't been able to yet! It is really exciting to feel you! I wish I could feel you move more often but I know that you have a lot more room to move around right now then you will in a few months! I can't wait until I can feel you moving around more and then get to put your Daddy's hand to feel you too! We love you!!


Love,
Mommy

Mommy and Daddy went to the doctor's office again today to take some pictures of you! They want to measure how big you are in your pictures to make sure everything is good. You were really tired and the doctor needed you to roll over so they could get a good picture of you. You must not have wanted to wake up because it took you a little while to decide to start dancing around. I could tell you were sleepy because you were not happy to wake up yet :) We did get some really cute pictures of you and one of your cute little hand!Daddy says that you are saying, "Man, my Daddy is good looking" in this picture! He is so silly! I love this picture of your little hand! I can't wait to feel this little hand pushing my belly and having Daddy feel you moving around in there!

We are 1/3 of the way done and I am getting so excited to have you here with us! It will still be a while until you are ready to be here (you are about the size of a plum right now), but we are all excited to meet you!

I love you so much,
Mommy
