Finally, belly pics

Hello everyone and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I hope that everyone had a blessed day with all of their friends and family. Matt and I were able to go up to Lowell for Thanksgiving to spend the day with his mom's side of the family. Lots of people and lots of yummy food! Did I mention the lovely nap I took after I stuffed myself and baby into a food coma :)

My parents also celebrated their 26th Wedding Anniversary on Thanksgiving this year and we were lucky to celebrate with them the evening before with a classy dinner of pizza hut! Do I know how to host or what?

Ok, now for the real reason you tuned into this post because obviously the title promises belly pics and belly pics you will get. I decided I am 17 weeks along this week and it is time to suck it up and just do this for everyone's enjoyment (maybe even my own one day as I show our little one how I progressed through this whole journey!)

Quick update: Matt and I went to the Doctor the week before thanksgiving for my 16 week appointment. All my blood work from the last visit came back fine and the heart beat was a strong 160 again. It's always nerve racking during that 15 secs or so when they are trying to find the heart beat but then it's such a relief when you hear that amazing sound. Proof that their is still a little life counting on me to provide a healthy, loving environment for it to grow and develop. We will also be finding out the sex this coming Thursday Dec. 3rd so be sure to check back for ultrasound pics and the BIG NEWS!

17 weeks and 2 days along
