18 Weeks

Well, it's that time again for some new pictures :) I feel as if I am finally starting to show a bit to the public! Some teachers at school have started to notice a little bump, which makes me excited! I know I'm crazy, who wants to get bigger right, but it's exciting when others start to notice a difference! Here is one of me, before heading to church at 17 weeks, I just look a little thicker....

And now for the 18 week pictures....Nate and I got a really nice new camera on our Walmart shopping spree, and are still experimenting with it, hoping we have it figured out in time for Baby Chucta :) So bear with us on some of the pictures as we figure out the lighting and shadows and whatnot...

We go tomorrow for our ultrasound appointment!!! Ahh we are so excited, but will be happy when it's over so we aren't tempted to find out anymore :) It's a great feeling though to see that little human being up there on the ultrasound screen, it really does take your breath away. Hopefully our doctor's office is still open with the recent ice/snow storm we got down here this weekend. Friday night into Saturday morning we got about an inch of nasty snow and sleet. Let me tell you what, the people down here DO NOT know how to handle it...Nate and I laugh because in Michigan it's such a normal every day occcurance, but down here it's a crisis! The stores are all out of everything...that is if they are open. It is already predicted we will have at least a 2 hour delay tomorrow if not closed for the whole day. They just don't have the resources down ehre to deal with it, I'm not complaining one bit :) Well...except for the fact that I'm ready for spring :)

We also have more good news, my sister booked her plane ticket to come down and visit! YAYYYYYYYYYY!!! She is planning on coming in and helping out in my classroom and I plan to take a few half days so we can get a little more extra time to hang out and who knows maybe go shopping to spoil little Baby Chucta:) Whatever we decide to do, I know it will be a good time, and we will enjoy her company. We hope you all have a great week, and we will update you soon with ultrasound pictures and news from the doctor :)
