21 Weeks and Ultrasound photo

This is me at 21 weeks. I have gained about 12 pounds and all of it pretty quickly. My stomach feels very tight and I feel like our little boy is pressed for room already. These pictures don't make me look as big as I really am. The Ultrasound photos were taken last week. Both are a side profile of his head. In one you can see that he is touching his nose with his finger. I think that he is going to be a really big baby, but the doctors haven't said how big they think he is. I am getting quite a bit of protein and cookies in my diet. I really need to watch the cookie intake.

Family Vacation

This weekend we volunteered at a Christian campground in Rumnney, New Hampshire. It is located just south of the White Mountains. We worked hard, but enjoyed our stay in New Hampshire. Eleanor loved exploring everything and has the bruises, scrapes, and scratches to prove it. Somehow she never seemed to run out of energy. John and I speculate that if we didn't make her sleep she could go for about 24 hours without stopping. As you can see from the pictures Eleanor enjoys picking flowers, playing shuffle board, and eating out. Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day.

Smile!

We are having A...

We went to our ultrasound appointment this morning and until we got there I was still a little hesitant about finding out, but I changed my mind. It's a Boy! I still can't believe it! We are excited and it was so nice to see him moving around. Due to the fact that he wouldn't hold still, the were not able to see some of the things that they need to check out so I have to go back in a couple of weeks, but everything seems to be fine. The ultrasound pictures really aren't that good but if the ones next week time are then I will post them. I have gained about 9 pounds and I gained it all this past month! Other then back pain and a little swelling I am doing well. I hope to stop taking the anti-nausea medicine soon.
John finished his semester...and it was a difficult couple of weeks at the end. He took the day off today and will be working on a sem-link class untill summer school starts in 2 weeks. Unfortunately, he doesn't get much of a break.
Eleanor is doing well. She had a cold last week, but is getting back to normal. This afternoon was also the time when the horses and hounds ride through campus. We took Eleanor and she loved seeing the dogs and horses.
