#4: Visit Adam & Elaine in Arkansas

Over Memorial Day weekend we headed down to Little Rock with Trevor's parents to go to visit Adam & Elaine and go to Levi's 1st birthday party.   Adam & Elaine always seem to visit the whole family in Kansas and we don't make it down there enough. 

Levi had such a fun party.  Elaine and her mom made this amazing train cake.  We were all very impressed!

Levi was excited to open all his presents...

...and he was very good at ripping them open!

Elaine said that Levi was really into balls.  So we got him this ball popper.  Elaine apparently had the same idea, so he got two ball poppers.  Levi wasn't sure what to think of it though...I think he didn't like that it kept taking his balls.

The kids then spent time outside playing in the swimming pools and shooting each other with water guns.  After that, Levi got to dig into his cake!

The kids all got to pick which piece of cake they wanted.  (The adults were a little choosey too!)

It was hard to say goodbye to them all...especially to wave goodbye to this little cutie!

What's Your Guess?!?

We have our ultrasound on Thursday!  So the big question on our mind right now is "boy or girl?"   I have a hunch, but that's all it is...a hunch. 

I thought it would be interesting to see what you all think.  Vote for your guess!

We're not going to be able to share with everyone until we tell Trevor's family and my college roommates in person over the 4th of July weekend.  Hopefully I don't slip up and say "he" or "she" before then.

We'd also appreciate prayers that the baby is healthy and that everything looks good.  Thanks!

15 & 16 Week Pictures

My goal is to not turn this into "Stephanie's Pregnancy Blog", but since I don't journal or scrapbook this is where I have to record what's been going on.  So if you are one of the three people out there that actually care about the pregnancy, keep reading.  If not, just come back some other time! :)

We had our 16 week doctor's appointment last Wednesday and got to hear the heartbeat again.  The heartbeat was 153.  Nothing else too exciting at this appointment.  We scheduled our ultrasound for June 24th - that's when we'll get to find out the sex of the baby!

Here are a couple of pictures from the past two weeks.

   

I look like I've grown a lot in the 16 week picture, but in all fairness, it was taken at night, when I think I look a whole month farther along than I do in the morning.  I did finally start doing the rubber-band trick on my pants today...I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.  So much more comfortable!
