It was a pleasure meeting Jacob 🙂

She’s my OB/GYN–Iwent to see her this morning. All is well, just a standard pre-natal visit. If you want the long version, {expecting} has more info.

Happy Monday!

we are 16 weeks today—Baby is growing and so is Mommy! I have officially begun wearing maternity clothes. Not sure how I feel about elastic panels but comfort is a huge factor. I go back to the doctor for a check up on Monday. At that point we will schedule the big 20 week ultrasound. The technician will check lots of stuff–size of bones, heart head etc. We keep getting the "Are you going to find out?" inquiries. Provided the child is cooperative, we want to know pink/blue!!! I even have a breakfast strategy-high sugar and caffeine pre appointment to encourage the little one to move. We will see if it works.

In other news, after two years at ITMM I took a sick day. Feeling under the weather, a cold like bug has kept my in the Kleenex and at home for the last three days.  I am hopeful that by tomorrow I will be much better. Each day has brought some improvement but since I can’t take my preferred over-the-counter-meds it seems to be taking longer to overcome.

That’s it from Nashville–hope you are having a better than good week!

There is this beautiful barn and silo we get to enjoy on my regular traffic pattern. All I have to do is see it and I seem to relax a bit. Exhale slowly and just be. Thought I’d share it here…

In other news–I think I have found a crib option. After recovering from severe sticker shock, I found one that meets all the current criteria including (no surprise) a moderate price tag, and Ben’s ability to operate the drop side. It’s white and seems to be gender neutral, it is manufactured by Jardine. If anyone has strong opinions or biases about cribs or knows about this company, feel free to share as we are just getting into this whole adventure!

Our cherry tree is beginning to bloom!!
