Diane's shower
I finally got to see Diane and her baby bump in person! Christina hosted a great shower in Cincinnati this weekend--here are some pics of Diane and me pregnant at the same time---just 8 weeks apart!!! She is due July 8th and I am due Sept 7.
20 weeks
HALFWAY THERE!!!!
I'm 20 weeks along in this picture and feeling great:) We had the ultrasound on Friday April 23 and found out we are having a little GIRL!!!!! We are overcome with joy. She is just so beautiful. Johnny thinks she already looks like me in her mouth and nose. I wish I could post some pictures of her---but for some reason the u/s pics won't upload on here.
She weighs 12 ounces and her heart was beating at 153 bpm. We got to see all of her organs and everything is developing perfectly so far:)

19 weeks
Today marks 19 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I can't believe I am already half way through my pregnancy!!! Johnny felt the first kicks this week... an absolutely indescribable moment it was to feel our son or daughter together for the first time. Our bambino is definitely more active right now at night and in the early morning hours after breakfast. He/She gives most little punches and kicks to my right side--and every time I still can't help but smile. It is more than joyous.
Sporting a noticeable bump:)

Cumberland Trip
We decided to embark on a little get-away at the end of Johnny's spring break and came upon this lovely bed and breakfast in the heart of the Cumberland's and foothills of Appalachia (pronounced like -Throwin' an "apple at cha") called "Cumberland Manor Bed and Breakfast."
This house was built in 1890, a Victorian era home, overlooking historic downtown Middlesboro with views of the Cumberland mountains.
Our room (the Kennedy Room) was on the 3rd floor at the very top.
Jill, the innkeeper, was a FABULOUS cook--we started out with a fresh fruit cup and bran and berry muffins, followed by fluffy pancakes and biscuits and gravy...YUM!
Overlook on Ridge Trail with views of Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky.

Week 17
Here I am...week 17! We had our 16 week check up this week and got to hear the heartbeat again at 158 bpm. I have gained 8 pounds (and all of that happened in the last 5 weeks!)
Our little one is the size of your palm...or a large naval orange (4.5 to 5.5 inches long).
In 3 weeks, we find out the gender...can't wait!!!

Weeks 13 and 14
Week 13....on my way to work! It was so cold here that week....our little one must have thought we lived in the arctic. By the end of that week, I was really starting to feel better, I think I even started cooking again...major feat!
Stats:
- baby is as big as a peach! (3 inches long)
Week 14...Our baby is a big as a clenched fist.
Our adorable little one is thumb-sucking and toe wiggling this week and is 3.4 inches long!

3 months pregnant and counting!!
We are so happy to finally tell it to the world...we are expecting a little one on September 7th!!!
At our 12 week ultrasound today we:
Heard the heart beat (175 bpm)
Saw our little one's arms and legs just a-swingin' and a-kickin'
Found out the head to rump measurement is 2 1/2 inches (right in the ballpark for week 12)
Became even more in love than we could ever have imagined with this tiny baby
It has been an exhausting first trimester! There were many nights I went to bed around 8:30pm and slept until 6:30am (of course that was interrupted by many trips to the bathroom due to my super squashed bladder). The nausea was horrific....lasting from week 6 to week 11, and I still have to be careful around some smells.
Not too many craving so far...although there was one week when all I wanted was Mexican food. I have been drinking TONS of milk...which is not typical for me, but it tastes good...so I guess little one likes it too.
Here are some profile pics:
6 weeks

Febrewary
Snow has been on the ground for ages it seems. I am in desperate need of spring! The sun was out today...slowly melting away traces of winter.
Johnny has been brewing like crazy the past two months...he has pumped out an Imperial Porter, an IPA, and a Rye Pale Ale. My job is to help with the bottling...quite a fun little task actually:)
We enjoyed a nice weekend with Jason, Vanessa, and Elias in Indianapolis---complete with a rememberable Bela Fleck-African Project show at Butler University (Renee and Mike had tickets too---it was sooooo good to see them), staying up way past our bedtime catching up with friends, pancakes in the morning, and out to eat for lunch before returning home to watch Purdue win!
I have to work tomorrow...but will have a 3 day weekend coming up.
Fun things to look forward to:
Megan and Ella visiting (hopefully)
Renee and Mike's spring break and camping at the RRG
Diane coming to town soon
SPRING!!!!!

News from the New Year
We enjoyed a nice New Year's Eve with Derek, Christina, and Nala.
Some sad news from Hycliffe...our lovely little fish, Mr. Coy, who so proudly owned our little pond in the back yard, was found floating belly up 2 days ago. He was a good pet....and we will miss him. We inherited him from the previous owner of this house and he had been with us since May of 2009.
I think we will fill the pond with new Coy fish this spring.
