My First Cardinals Game

Our friends Jen and Brandon had extra seats to the Cardinals pre season game, I have never been to a Cardinals game so Ryan and I jumped at the opportunity. They have a 10 month old little boy so he had a great time too, he feel asleep on my lap from the start of the 2nd to the end of the 4th. We had a great time and I am looking forward to going to more games this year!!!

On a different note, My brother and sister in law are in town this week with my niece and nephew, my nephew is turing 1 so we are celebrating all week. They are staying with us for a couple days and we are going to a Dbacks game and some shopping for Baby Travis. I am really excited to see them it has been WAY TO LONG!!!

Baby Girl Travis is doing GREAT, I starting to feel her fluttering around and I am looking forward to some real kicking. We are still cleaning out her room and have ordered more things for her. We have set a date for a Baby Shower and I am soooo surprised how time is flying by. I have a big Growth ultrasound next Friday and I promise to post pictures of her!! Thank you again for all your support!!!

Our Michigan Trip

So my mom's 50th Birthday was on July 23rd and Ryan and I knew we wanted to plan something HUGE for her, so for the last year I had been planning a Surprise Party at a restaurant for her. There were about 60 of her closest friends and family. On July 16 Ryan and I flew to Michigan and stayed with my sister who just had a baby 1 month prior, My mom thought Ryan was in Washington D.C the week prior and she then thought I was going on the 16th to meet him for a vacation. So we met my sister and her husband at the airport and all went to dinner. The next day was the party, it was a GREAT success and she was soooooo surprised. This trip was not only about my mom but we did alot of shopping and hung out with family and visted with old friends. I hadn't been home in 2.5 years so it was really nice to get away. Here are a few pictures of our trip.

Everything else is going great we are preparing for Ryan's Aunt, Uncle and Cousins to come into town next week, then at the end of the month his brother and sister-in-law and his niece and nephew are coming into town, we are really excited to see everyone.

I am still feeling great I had NO morning sickness and I am looking forward to the weeks ahead, we have an ultrasound the begining of September and I can't wait to see Baby Girl Travis. The nursery is coming along great we are in the final stages of picking the furniture out, the one I am looking for is on back order til November so I must order now. I will post some pictures of the bedding and furniture once it is all ordered.

15 Weeks

So I have decided only to do a 'Pregnancy Survey' at big milestones, like 15, 25 and 35 and of course when I am about to deliver. I am not fond of doing one every week because somethings will NEVER change that dramatically and I dont want to bore you. So this is the 1st one and I hope you enjoy it.

What's Happening: Your baby's skin is very thin right now -- blood vessels can actually be seen underneath it. It's covered with a fine, fuzzy hair called lanugo, which will not fall out until your baby nears full-term. You'll have to treat that soft skin delicately when your little one is born, but slathering him or her with baby lotion is surely more a pleasure than a chore!

Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet.

How far along? 15 Weeks. Sorry no photo because I am not showing that much, but I am starting to pooch out.

How big is baby? The Size of a Naval Orange. 4 inches long and 2.5 ounces

Maternity clothes? I bought a few pairs of Capri's and some Shirts because the band on jeans dig into me and by the end of the day I have unbutton my pants.

Sleep: I am sleeping great, I am up to the bathroom about 2-3 times a night, Ryan wants to kill me but at least I can fall back asleep quickly.

Best moment this week: My belly is starting to 'Pooch' out and noticing I am pregnant not just fat!!! Ryan and I also picked out a Nursery decor and it arrived on Friday!!! Cleaning out the Nursery!!

Movement: NONE

Food cravings: Chicken Noodle Soup, Fruit and Otter Pops!!!!

Gender: GIRL!!!! Wooo Hooooo

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Caffeine, Turkey Sandwiches, HotDogs.

What I am looking forward to: We have a Dr Appt on Friday and we get to hear a Heartbeat!!!!



We Also Went to Michigan for 2 weeks, I have alot of pictures to post and I promise to have a couple of posts this week!!!!
