Belly

I feel huge, definitely bigger than I was by now with Josie. But looking at the picture I think I have a long way to go!

Josie Maria turns 3

Josie's 3rd birthday party was a dinosaur theme, with strawberry cake and meat (for the T rexes) as requested. We had the whole family here, minus Carl and Ang. It was grand! Josie pranced around in her Cinderella dress roaring like a dinosaur :) Here is the link to dad's pbase pics: http://www.pbase.com/peterschmidt/josie_3&page=all

New baby on the way

Well, we have a new baby coming around Halloween. Things are going well and we are all very excited.
I am about 4 months along, feeling pretty good and starting to get a bit of a tummy. My navel has flattened out, too. I think it will be fun to have the belly in the summer with all the cute breezy dresses and such to wear.
I have already felt baby bouncing around in there for a couple of weeks. I couldn't believe how early I felt it, 14 weeks! 3 weeks earlier than last time.
I was pretty sick and for a long time, still having some nausea at 16 weeks. I haven't thrown up in a few days, so I think maybe I've turned the corner for real now. Around 12 weeks I was anticipating I would feel better and so every day I would announce to Eric that I thought I felt better... Not so much. Pretty soon he didn't believe me any more but now I think it's really true.
Josie is thrilled at the idea of having someone in the family she is in charge of. She has declared that we should name it Boots if it's a boy and Josie or princess Aurora if it's a girl. Here are a couple recent pics of her for fun.
