Abigail's 4th Birthday

Abigail turned 4 back in January. In the midst of my horrid morning sickness, my good friend Emily offered to host her party.

Abigail wanted a chef, princess party. All the little kids came over dressed in their funnest fancy dress (dress up) and everyone got to wear aprons and chefs hats to decorate their own cupcakes.

What a fun party we had! All the pictures are up online in Abigail's 4th Birthday album.

Menu Plan Monday

Last week did not go so well with the meals. Nothing sounded good and I had a hard time making anything. But I'm hopeful that this week will go better. I am now 18 weeks pregnant, so this nausea has to lift soon, right?!

The menu for the week...

• Monday -- Baked Potatoes
• Tuesday -- Crock Pot Rotisserie-Style Chicken
• Wednesday -- White Chicken Chili
• Thursday -- Garlic Lime Shrimp  
• Friday --  Chicken Broccoli Lo Mein
• Saturday -- Chicken Enchiladas

17 Weeks and Kicking!

That's right! We're 17 weeks along today. I figured it was about time to post a baby bump picture.

I started showing at about 9 weeks and outgrew all my clothes by 13 weeks. Things have moved faster with baby #3 than in previous pregnancies, but that is to be expected.

Still struggling with nausea and food aversions, but it was at least 20 weeks with the other two, so I am starting to look for things to change in the next few weeks. Please keep this in your prayers.

Otherwise, baby and I are both healthy and growing right on schedule.

I felt the baby kick for the first time last week and look forward to feeling those little movements more often as baby gets bigger.

Baby is now about the size of an avocado and has developed all its organs. It also has all 10 fingers and all 10 toes, and looks completely like a baby, just smaller.

Joshua and Abigail continue to ask for updates on how the baby is doing, and Joshua especially is very focused on the due date and age progression of the baby.

Have a great week!
