It's hard to believe I'm almost half-way through this second pregnancy. I'm not sure if it's having another child, spending a month at Spring Hill or being in the midst of a busy summer, but this pregnancy sure has flown!
I've been feeling very good overall (especially now that I'm in the second trimester- yippee!)
The main point of this post is to share that we find out THIS WEEK if we are having a boy or a girl. Our appointment is on Thursday! I've been thinking girl, Noah has been thinking boy. I'm wrong almost all of the time, so I guess it probably is a boy, but I'm still sticking to girl, and so is Ellie :) We have two little babies for her doll house (one boy and one girl) so we put them out today and had her pick one. She's picked girl every time, and she did so again today! I got a video, but I'll need Noah's help to post it :)
I thought I'd post a few pictures of the wedding this weekend. We took a mini family vacation/trip to St. Louis/Alton. Wednesday-Friday we stayed in downtown St. Louis and went out to eat, to the hotel pool, the zoo, and had a picnic at the arch. We had a LOT of fun. I'll have to post more later. All I can say, is vacation with kids are just so much different :)
Friday-Sunday we were in Alton for Meg & Carl's wedding. Meg is a former student and I was VERY honored to stand up in her wedding :) It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding. Meg had crafted so many decorations and it just looked awesome! She even made bracelets and hair pieces for each of the bridesmaids. It was an adorable wedding that was TOTALLY Meg's style :)

Just had to share a picture of the banner she made to hang up... 64 yards long and totally transformed the room :)
Here I am at almost 19 weeks :)
And here is beautiful Meg! I loved her something old (necklace from her grandma when she was 7) something new (dress) something borrowed (veil) and something blue (blue shoes!) Too cute :)
Can you tell someone is VERY tired? :) Ellie did a great job, but it was a busy weekend! Oh and notice how I have to hold this girl- above the baby bump :) She's getting too big to be carried all the time! :)
Had to show off the hairclip! And the hair (Meg's friend Kristin did it for me!) Thanks to curly hair, it took like 10 minutes :)
BIG WEEK- we will keep you posted :)
We love you baby #2. We are SO excited to meet you, and can't believe we're almost halfway there!!
Keep growing healthy and strong! I'm enjoying your little kicks :)
:)
