25 weeks!

I'm 25 weeks pregnant today!  I had a doctor's appointment a couple of weeks ago, and everything was fine!  The doctor said I was making this look easy!  Haha...tell my back that :)  She also said that he was showing off because he was moving so much while she was listening to the heartbeat.

My next appointment will be the glucose test...yuck!  Hopefully I'll pass it the first time around this time.  I really don't want to take the 3 hour test again.  

Well, here is the baby bump at 24 weeks...

I can't believe I have 3 1/2 more months to go!  I feel like I'm already huge!  I also have a ton to do to get ready, and busy season is about to start :(  Guess I'll start practicing that lack of sleep thing now :)  Ready or not, we are very excited to meet this little guy! 

Show me your Muscles!

William likes to show off his muscles now that he's been doing pushups with Daddy!

Bubbles!

William is addicted to bubbles lately!  Sometimes it's the first thing he wants to do when he wakes up.  He's not the only one who loves bubbles though.  Layla gets just as excited as William!  Finally something they enjoy doing together :)

What William's been up to lately!

William has been having lots of fun lately!  Here are just a few things he's been up to...

Laughing with Campbell and Clarkson

Coloring with his new Thomas coloring book.

Stickers!

Ring around the Rosies in Nursery.  Yes, William is turned the wrong way :)

Stealing Daddy's Milkshake!

Apparently this baby toy requires driving glasses!

He loves wearing Daddy's bicycle helmet!

and finally...cheesing with Aunt B!

Really Bad Hair Day!

This is how you know you had a good nap...

Smile!

The Two Coolest Guys I Know!

22 weeks!

I am 22 weeks pregnant today!  I can't believe I am over half way there!  I've been feeling pretty good. Just getting bigger by the day!  Sorry about not taking baby bump pics - I've been kind of slack.  Here is a picture at 20 weeks, and I'll be sure to post a more recent pic soon.  

Everyone says I've really "popped" this past week.  I definitely feel like I'm getting huge!  My back is also feeling the pain of my growing belly.  It is my only complaint these days.  Maybe I'll look into seeing a chiropractor...

I'm feeling the baby move more and more, and these past couple of weeks, David has been able to feel him too!  Just the past couple of days, the kicks have been strong enough to see!  I still can't believe William is going to be a big brother soon!  Boy, do I have a lot to do before November! 

19 Months!

William's 19 month day was this past week.  I can't believe he is getting so big!  He is starting to say a few more words.  In addition to Layla, mama, and dada, he says ball, yep, cheese! (for pictures), and apparently he'll say apple at Kaylee's house.  I think he is understanding a little more that something is up with Mommy's belly.  If we ask him where the baby is, he'll come over and give my belly a hug and kiss.  It's so cute!  Does this mean he really knows a baby's coming?  I don't know...hopefully he'll get the idea in the next few months :)  He also will fold his arms for prayer now, and when we say "Amen," he throws his hands in the air or claps!  Well, here is a picture of William ready for church last week!  What a big boy!

Happy 4th at the Lake!

Lauren's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Suggs, were kind enough to let us come to their 4th of July celebration!  We always have a great time at the lake, and it had been way too long since we had been for a visit!

The good life...

Uncle Casey is so much fun!

Due to the lack of rain and hot weather, everyone was advised not to swim in the lake, but that didn't stop everyone from having fun...and getting wet!  Here is William enjoying the water slide next door!  He loved it!

At the end of the day, we were able to watch the fireworks.  They were beautiful to watch over the lake!  

William enjoyed the fireworks, but was definitely ready for bed after a long day of fun!

Happy 4th of July and Happy Birthday Beth and Joseph!

For the 4th of July, my family loves to get together and have homemade ice cream (thanks mom!).  We were also celebrating Beth and Joseph's birthdays! 

The Birthday couple!

Jumping on Daddy/Uncle D is so much fun!!!

After we ate and had ice cream, we went to a Durham Bulls game.  We had a great time and the fireworks were amazing...even if the Bulls didn't win!  William was great during the fireworks - he didn't seem scared at all...yay!

Rally caps!

What a great day!  I'm so thankful for our country and for those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedoms!

Mmm...Milkshake!

What a fun treat to share!  Too bad William and I didn't leave much for Daddy!

Congratulations Melissa & Phil!

Our friends, Melissa and Phil were married June 25th at the Duke Chapel.  The wedding was beautiful and we all had a great time at the reception!

After the ceremony...

The reception!

Mr. and Mrs. Philip Kragel!

The first dance

The old married folk!  Funny enough...I didn't have a picture of me and David :)

and of course, dancing!

Getting ready for the photo booth!  So much fun!  Pregnant Bat-girl was a hit!

The girls!!!

What a great wedding!  We had a wonderful time, and the party didn't end there!  We went over to Kaila's for some Just Dance fun!  Hilarious!  I'm so thankful for great friends!
