anticipation

so we are eagerly anticipating our 16 week appointment tomorrow where we will hear the baby's heartbeat again and schedule our 18 week ultrasound where we will hopefully find out if Baby Josti is a girl or a boy. all of this depends on how modest he/ she is but i'm counting on that not being the case and being able to share with you all when we find out.

i am to the point now where i need to go shopping for clothes. my best friend, karin, has loaned me a plethora of tops to wear but i am down to one pair of pants that fit and that is only because they are so low that they fit just under my belly. it is starting to get cold here and the leaves are already changing which is so early but i love it. steve and i are heading up to ogunquit, maine this weekend for a little retreat before we start working on all of our projects that need to be completed before the baby comes and i am so excited.

we had a great visit with my parents and had a relaxing weekend at the lake with amazing weather. we played lots of bocce and pinochle. as you can see, we were very precise to see who was the closest. i think yellow wins in this one (C:. we are looking forward to seeing them and the rest of my family again at thanksgiving.
