16 week appointment...

JR and I went to the doctors office today for appointment #3...

We were able to listen to the heart beat again! FUN FUN! The heart rate was 150 which the nurse said that was average. We'll go back August 20th to find out boy or girl. Hopefully the time keeps flying because I am really anxious to know!

Everything has been great thus far. I am starting to have more energy and have had zero sickness. Thank the Lord for that!

Time is flying...15 weeks...

Saturday I had a baby shower to attend and I figured what better time to take tummy pictures since I was thinking about the baby all day. A bunch of the girls have been telling me to post some picture anyway...

Here are pictures at 15 weeks...



I am almost to the point where I can't pull the rubberband trick on the pants...and it's not comfortable anyway! So I have done a little shopping for some capri's to hold me over until the winter months when I will really need the maternity clothes. A lady that I work with gave me a bunch of shirts and tanktops so I will not need to buy those! What a blessing!

McKenna/Mast Wedding on the 5th...

We had a wedding to attend at Meyer's Castle in Schererville on the 5th of July. It was a beautiful wedding and we had a great time! The bride is a friend of ours from church. She met her husband on the World Race which was an 11 month missions trip she took around the world last year.


This is our friend Michelle. She lived with me for 6 months at the house in Crown Point when JR was still living with his parents before we got married! She is awesome!



Erin and her dad walking down the aisle! She looked amazing!


The bride, groom and wedding party during the wedding. Pastor was giving an example of them being two and becoming one...it was a good wedding message!


This was the first white peocock I have ever seen...it was on the ground of the castle along with many other peococks and swans.


And last but not least, a picture of JR and I at the wedding in front of the castle...it was impossible to get the entire castle because we were so close and there are trees everywhere!

Fabulous 4th...

What a long, fun filled day!!! JR and I were all over the place for the 4th. Early in the morning or should I say early for a holiday (9am) :) we headed to Chicago to watch JR's brother, Collin, play in an All-Star baseball game. His team lost, but he played well. It was super hot outside and I roasted in the sun!

After the game we headed to the southside of the city to Doug & Anne's house to hang out with all the family. We had a wonderful time and ate some great food!


Mom and Dad with Anne's dog, Henry...he is BIG...

Here is Doug's dog, Frankie, growling at Shelley because he is protecting Doug from her...he is LITTLE :)

After Doug and Anne's house we went back to Hobart to JR's mom and dad's to watch the fireworks on the boat. JR's mom and dad, grandma, brother Collin and us all went on the boat...we had a great time!

JR's pretty picture of some fireworks!

My Husband Rocks...

When your tired, you have a headache, your feet hurt, and you feel fat and ugly all because you are pregnant and your husband is willing to do anything to make you feel better...HE ROCKS! Always reassuring my beauty, his love for me, and showing that he will cook, clean, fix the house, while I sit and feel bad and useless. He is the BEST EVER! I LOVE YOU BABE! Thank you for being awesome!
