Growing!

I am officially into the third trimester! 12 weeks to go and I have to say I am still feeling pretty good. Baby C is obviously growing and is definitely getting stronger. I love feeling and watching his baby acrobats. I've found myself wondering more what he's going to look like and who he is going to be. I hope he looks like Scott, I also hope he gets his athletic ability. We have been house shopping so we haven't even started a room for him just yet. I think we will finally be able to start doing just that in the next couple of weeks. Having my first shower at the end of the month, excited to see friends and spoil this little guy.

I continue to do well. Had to add Iron and B-12 to my supplements, but other than that my appoinments have been going well. I finally broke down and purchased some maternity clothes, but pleased my weight gain hasn't been out of control! I'm still wearing my wedding ring, which I was always worried about swelling so I am glad I haven't dealt with that just yet. Still not having super strong cravings, still enjoying cereal most days, but can't think of anything else I have to have every day. Hoping that things continue to go well and that baby stays healthy! We go in for a growth ultrasound in just a few weeks and then the weekly stress tests start!

Can't believe I'm going to be a mom in three months!!

Family

The Mackey's came for a two week visit in June and it was the first time in a couple years we had all been together! It was great to have them home for that amount of time, and we all definitely enjoyed the family time!
 Watching Cole play t-ball!
 Getting so big!
 The cousin's managed plenty of play time!
 Cole turned 5 and was so excited about his reptile party!
 After holding this snake with help from Nana, Davis was done with the snakes!
 Rowan was a little braver!
 We managed to make time for a family picture! Our family continues to grow!
 Our little family! Six months pregnant with our little man!
 Love these little ones!

Camping 2012

Summer is flying by...we have definitely been having fun! We have made it to the mountains for a few short trips. Fires in Colorado have made it tough to do any real camping, but we have had a blast. Took a trip with my parents to Grand Lake the weekend after the 4th of July. Stayed in a trailer park with their trailer so sleeping was much easier for me! :) Dad and Scott took the four-wheelers out one day while mom and I went shopping and took Watson swimming. Rented a pontoon boat one day to try fishing, dad was the only one that managed to catch anything! We had a blast in spite of no fish, it was great to be out on the lake and just relax, and Watson even got to come along for the ride! We drove through Rocky Mountain National Park one day to take in the views and see some wildlife! 
 Captain Scott!
 We also managed a few trips up to Red Feather to visit Scott's cousin Leon. Stayed at his girlfriends family ranch over Memorial, only tent camping trip of the summer, and I was perfectly ok with that. Stayed in a cabin along the poudre before taking a drive up to Honholz to fish. And another trip in the camper with my parents to do some fishing.
 Colorado was devestated this summer by some huge fires. We passed through the High Park fire the day it started. It grew to 87,000 acres and destroyed over 250 acres before being fully contained. Colorado Springs was also hit by a fire that was over 18,000 acres and destroyed over 300 homes! It was wild to see the High Park fire up close as it was getting started. Very scary, but our states firefighters and volunteers did amazing getting these fires and others under control!
