4 Months Prego!

So, I've had some requests for a picture of me pregnant and since I feel much better about myself this time around, I have no problem posting a picture. Here I am, in all my glory, at 4 months pregnant. This pregnancy has definitely been different than my pregnancy with Alexa. The nausea has been WAY more random and has lasted longer. By 14 1/2 weeks with Alexa, I was feeling great. However, I'm STILL running into episodes of nausea and I'm so ready to be done with it. Finding something to eat that sounds good to me has been harder this time, although I'm hungrier which makes it even more difficult to find a little something to snack on when NOTHING sounds good to me. But if I don't eat, I pay for it so I have to force myself to eat even if it doesn't sound good to me at that moment. And ice cream hasn't had any appeal to me this time around...what, this is madness??!!! I LOVE ice cream but apparently the baby doesn't care for it too much!! Give me candy though!! I tell ya, Halloween was fabulous this year! :-) I don't know if any of these differences mean that this one could be a boy, I'm really not holding my breath on that one, but it is kinda fun to note that there definitely HAVE been differences. And we'll just have to wait a few more weeks to find out for sure what this little peanut is. Anyways, I'll try and keep my family updated on how this pregnancy is going with pics from time to time.

Randomness

Here are just some random pictures from the last little bit...does this first one look familiar Jenn??
I love, love, love pink and brown on Alexa!!
We even happened to match this particular Sunday (not meaning to of course!!).
Pretty much our last nice bit of weather. We went to Cherokee Park to enjoy the Fall colors and Alexa had a great time with her daddy!

70 Years and still going strong!!!

I want to introduce you to two of my most favorite people, my grandparents, DeVere & Marguritte Leavitt. These are my mom's parents and they just celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary! All I can say is WOW!! My grandpa also celebrated his 95th birthday this week. What an inspiration they are to me. They still live in their own home and my mom told me recently that my grandpa asked for his horse to be brought onto his property (instead of his son's) so that he could have something to do every day!! They really are amazing. In honor of their 70th, my family threw them a big party last night. I'm sad that we were unable to attend - but so it goes when you live so far away. I did call my grandma a few weeks ago to tell her our exciting news about expecting another baby and she was so excited...even though she promptly called my mom right after to scold her for lying to her the day before about if I was expecting or not!!! Can you picture a 93 year old woman scolding her daughter??!! I thought that was pretty funny. Anyways, I love these two people more than I can say and only hope that I can be as happy and in love with Kevin in 65 years as they still are.
Here are a couple shots of them dancing at their party...thank you to my cousin, Kelsey, for sending me the pics!!
