19 Weeks

Oh baby baby,

What a wonderful week we have had! Your daddy and I celebrated our third year wedding anniversary and went out on our first "official" date since you were born! We had a delightful time. Our good friend Angie babysat you and the two of you did great! You even slept in your crib! Since I knew you were going to be with a sitter that night, I decided to keep you out of school to spend the day with me! You came with me to my gestational diabetes follow up (good news we're in the clear for now but will always do our best to eat healthy and exercise!) then we met daddy for lunch! We brought him PF Chang's since we had stir fry at our wedding! It was very good and we both enjoyed spending that time with you!

 

Then we got our nails done! Well mommy had her toes done but you sat with me and as usual watched very intently at your surroundings! I was very impressed with your patience!

Our weekend was fun filled as well! Friday night we went to the "Zoovies", that's an outdoor movie at the zoo! We hung out and danced and road the carousel and then you were pooped! We hung out a little longer but headed home shortly after the movie started. You can count on us doing that again! We had so much fun! it was great to spend that time together and with our friends!

 

Saturday we spent the majority of the day shopping! Again you were so very patient. Going on outings with you has become such a pleasure! (well most times anyway) Later that day we went to Karen's Kustard to celebrate the birthday of our friend Erik Elliott. We love the Elliot family! They are a fun, kind, generous, creative and entertaining family! I hope to spend many more celebrations with them!

Sunday after we came home from church we (daddy) decided to get one of the raised beds for planting. Yes we are way behind this season but you know better late than never! Tennessee has a pretty long growing season so we may have some stuff to harvest, we may not but we tried!

Then we went back to the zoo! We live so close and we're members so why not! It was a perfect day outside, not too hot, not too cool, it was just right. It was so nice! By the way that red hat belonged to your daddy when he was a little boy! Neat huh?!

 

 Tonight you saw your first fireworks show! You loved it! We were far enough away that the booms weren't very loud but close enough to see the pretty lights! 

Happy Independence Day my love! This is great a country we live in and we're proud to be Americans!

I love you,

Momma
