First Trimester...

Here are some photos to document my first trimester.
I seen the Doctor again today for my exam. He said I was doing really well and even my weight gain is doing well also. I am a little under where I should be by a little over 1 pound, but I am sure it will catch up soon as I want to eat everything in sight. :) I got to listen to the heartbeat again and while I was listening there was a loud little sound, and the doctor said that was the baby kicking the sensor away. Although I could not feel the kick, I could hear it, and it looks like the baby is going to be a little kicker already....maybe we have a future soccer player or something baking up. :)

First month.

Second month.

Third month.

Statue of Liberty

Today, Josh and I went to see the Statue of Liberty for the first time. No, we did not travel to New York, we saw it right here in Japan. It is on the latitude as the one in New York which I think is pretty neat.

It was placed in the huge "park" that had some nice scenery and a playground. Needless to say, of course Josh got a fair share of playing accomplished.

"Country" Themed Party

Josh and I got invited to a friend's house for a "country" themed party a few weekends ago. So, basically we had to dress country and here goes....

Doodlebug Design giveaway

One of my really good friends, Jenifer, that I made when we lived in Valdosta has now started her own little business. Go here to check it out, or you can click the link on my page. To start off her business she is doing a giveaway, so go check it out. I honestly hope I win though, because I never win things. :)

Celebrating 24 years of life!

Woo Hoo, Happy Birthday to Me!
I spent the day receiving cupcakes, a teddy bear, oh and firecrackers (b/c he had no candles) from my boss. I got my favorite fruit drink, called Fuze from Standard, oh and a b-day card that said Happy B-day Daughter from your second Mother. I got lunch from my friend Scottie. I got a fabulous dinner for two with my main squeeze (a.k.a. hubby) at Mike's Tex Mex restaurant....yumyum! Oh, the list goes on and on.
Side note: I got my first baby gift from my friend, Clark (I call him by his last name, it's a military thing). He is also the one who gave us Josh's new car. I do not think I could ask for a better friend.
Josh made and decorated a cute cake for me. I wrote the words, because as most know, Josh does not have the best handwriting. :)
On Saturday, I had a little shindig with some of my closest friends.
Erin, Vanessa, Sean, Scottie, Lance, Noah & Kristen and their kiddos, Clark, Josh, and well...myself.
Just a few pics of me and the ladies.
Scottie and I.
Vanessa and I.I'd have to say, getting older is starting to become something I really enjoy. I know some people feel otherwise, but I feel like I get a little wiser and find some fabulous friends along the way.

Thanks everyone for making my 24th b-day super spectacular!
