17 Weeks Pregnant

So here I am 17 weeks and a few days pregnant. Our little dude is starting to make his presence known and I have a hint of a baby bump. I plan to wear this shirt for all the pregnancy bump photos, so it should be fun to see it expand. The baby is now beginning to hear, so Joe has made a habit of talking (yelling) to him through my belly as often as possible. This week, Leo is approximately the size of my palm. I have yet to feel him move, but that is sure to come soon!

Flowers

Joe sent some gorgeous flowers to my work on Wednesday for no particular reason. They brightened my entire week and were a delightful surprise. He's the best husband ever!

The Pumpkin Patch

On October 13, 2007, we joined our friends Craig, Lauren and their adorable daughter Tegan for a day at the pumpkin patch at Sauvies Island. The traffic was horrendous and we didn't even buy pumpkins, but it proved to be a beautiful day! It was almost 70 degrees and I spent most of the trip in my tank top. We love hanging with the Wolves and spending time with Tegan is great "practice."

Welcome to our Blog

Joe and I wanted to create a blog so that loved ones near and far could stay up-to-date on what's going on in our world. We made the trek back to Portland in early June of this year and now call the Pacific NW home once again. Pittsburgh was a great adventure, but we are happy to be back in the town where we met and married. Also, as you all know by now, we are having a little boy and he is due to arrive into the world April 4, 2008. As the name of the blog also reveals, his name is Leo. We wanted to decide on a name early on so that we could start calling him that. He's our little man and we are so excited to meet him.
