18 and growing.

Heyyy!! Happy long weekend everyone!

Here I am at 18 weeks (please excuse the sickly tired face, I really am doing okay) - grow baby grow! Only 2-1/2 more weeks until we find out if our little Shunky is a boy or girl.

We're excited.

May 24, 2010

tomorrow we're celebrating the day we said "i do" 2 years ago. i've had 2 years with a really great guy. after a yummy meal out on saturday, we took the chance to get some :family: photos.

(the furry boy was behaving quite well, so you'll see that we took our chance to pose with him too.)














gotta love the candids! (even an adorably photogenic puppy can have not-cute pictures. see below. hehe!)























































Love you, Mr.!

17 going on 40.

:-)

week 17! (and, for the record: no, Jeremy, I'm NOT sticking it out ... even though I still could use all the help I can get looking pregnant.)

a boy or a girl?

what do you think?! we're taking bets. ;-)















I lie. Actually we aren't.
















Babe decided that 16 1/2 weeks was too early to make the gender call. First the cord was in the way, then the Little Critter decided to stick a hand right there.

Modest Girl?
Typical Boy?

Not sure yet! We will find out (hopefully, provided Babe cooperates) on June 16 at 20 1/2 weeks. Stay tuned 'til then!

2 parental captions, Photograph 1:
1.
"Jeremy, I only see 4 fingers!"

"Just like Bart Simpson!"

(insert laughing. Jeremy comes over to peer at the picture.)

"Lisa, there is a THUMB."

"Oh."

2.
"Jeremy, so what do you think it is?"

(very swiftly) "I think it's a boy, now."

"Oh really?" (raised eyebrows) "How's that?"

"The face. It looks like a boy."

(me, snorting...)

Sweet 16, baby.

We surprised my parents (his idea - SUPER!) this weekend by driving "up the street" six hours. Jeremy wanted to get away from KC, but we weren't sure how my motion sickness and tummy would handle it.

Ends up I handled it perfectly! :-) Much to everyone's happiness. Esp. mine. Yay for fun weekends. Jeremy and Dad are out shooting and fishing and Mom and I are going for breakfast and maybe hit a few garage sales.

:-) 16 weeks, we are!

Week 15

My goal is to post the week-by-week belly shots by the end of each weekend. Failure this weekend.

(Am I getting any bigger? Am I? Am I?)



















My excuse this weekend is that I just felt yuck yesterday. Actually, I felt pretty good when I woke up, but riding 1/2 hour to church both ways and some other tummy issues (thank you Zofran - I hope I can get rid of you soon!) had me feeling icky. But lately "icky" is so much more tolerable than 7 weeks ago. SO. MUCH. MORE.

It's like comparing the "cures". My cure lately is lying on the couch, resting (still able to eat and drink and walk around). My cure 7 weeks ago was lying in a hospital bed (not able to do much of anything). So, really, it's good.

And, I had a great day on Saturday, complete with garage sale-ing (a.k.a. treasure hunting) with my honey, beautiful sunshine, and seeing Molly at her graduation open house. Not to mention eating BBQ and drinking water and feeling good about it! :-) Despite how great it was, I think I overdid myself and felt it on Sunday, but I'm okay with that.

16 weeks coming soon - and an ultrasound picture!

"Jeremy, the baby DOES have arms and legs now (not to mention other parts too!)."

Number Two!!

No. There really is only one baby in there. But with that babe I'm in my second trimester as of today!!

Here is "the bump", week 4 or 5. (I know, there is no bump there, but I'm calling it that. So you have something to compare to.)



















And here are we today! Week 14. I think we're making progress. What do you think? :-)



















And here is our latest photo of Baby Shunk at 9 weeks. It's been about 5 weeks since then, so Baby should be looking more and more human! Here he/she is 2.6 centimeters - TINY! Now, he/she should be 3-1/2 inches or so. Next sonogram is 16 weeks, so I'll share more pictures then!
















Dear Jesus, please make the nausea go away. For good. Love, Lisa
