We recently received our wedding album. I love it!! It is everything I hoped for. My mom also got her mom's book and has been able to take it to work and show it off to her friends. Jackie and Ihnenfeld Photography really do amazing work! I cannot wait for her to do maternity pictures for us and to photograph our bundle of joy to come. I cannot think of anyone else that I'd rather have take the pictures and capture this special time for us. Here are two of our favorite pages from the album... these pictures don't even begin to do it justice (sorry they're a little blurry, but to at least get an idea, click and it will enlarge it). To see the real thing, just come visit us and we'd love to show it off!
Also, this past Saturday my mom and I had a great girls day. After getting some Cracker Barrel breakfast with Garrett and my mom, my mama swooped me away for an eventful and successful day. We started out by spending the early afternoon shopping! I was able to find me some great maternity clothes and my mom even picked her up some new pants. I am so excited to be able to go to work comfortable now! After shopping, we went to get my hair cut. She then treated me to a pedicure (it'd been way too long for both of those things, lol). Then we had lunch together, took their little puppy milo for a haircut. Then finally we ended the evening with meeting back up with Garrett and all heading over to the Gonzales' for a wonderful dinner and movie night!
Then today, I received my wedding gift from Joyce. It is flowers from my wedding bouquet preserved and placed in a vase. Also in the vase is one of the favor buckets we used and the personalized m&m's. It is wonderful!! I absolutely love it and am so happy to be able to have those things forever now. Here's a picture of the larger sunflower from my wedding bouquet, but again it doesn't do the gift any justice... must see in person... it's gorgeous!!
Well, all in all, this has been one heck of a week and I've also been feeling a little bit better. I still get the morning sickness here and there, but as long as I keep food in the tummy, it's not too bad. I've also noticed some changes to my belly... it definitely feels more full!
Here are this weeks belly pictures (please disregard the sloppy look... as you can probably tell, more concerned with comfort than cuteness, lol):

your baby's the size of a plum!
The average fetus at 12 weeks is about 2.1 inches long and .49 ounces. Now that she's got pretty much all her parts, her main job is to keep on growing.
your baby at 12 weeks
- Most of her critical systems are fully formed!
- She's about to enter the growth and maturation stage, in which her organs and tissues will grow and develop rapidly.
- She's now developing her reflexes -- if you poke her body, she'll likely move.
- She's opening and closing her fingers and curling her toes, too.
- Her brain is developing fast!
Sounds like you had an amazing week. Still so excited for you! Trust me, the farther along you get the more you will be concerned with comfort than cuteness, especially when you are at home! Enjoy it all while it lasts!
