Lots of kicks

Sam's message to us. :)
My big belly...22.5 weeks

Baxter taking a nap.

Three boys so tired after a day out in the woods.


First snow! Very pretty.

Ethan's Halloween costume, he was a gangster.

The baby is kicking me all the time now...Dave even got to feel the first real jab last night. It was very cool! Now, of course the little one kicks me in the bladder when I'm in a meeting and work and I need to pee. But I love it anyway.
As you can see, little Sammy has sent us a message. He is doing great and we are so excited to stay with him over Christmas so we can get to know him. He's doing really well...doesn't fuss much I guess which is great! Hopefully we will be so lucky. :-)
I go to the doctor again next Tuesday. I'm sure it will be fairly uneventful...weigh in and then out the door. But by the next appointment I'll be in my third trimester already. Crazy! Then I think I have to go every other week. These next few months are going to fly by. I've been feeling really good, so I'm thankful for that. The allergies are getting better now that it's cooling down a bit. I've been working super crazy hours, so getting around to the blog is harder to do. But I'll be sure to post at least every other week. I'll be glad when maternity leave rolls around so I can at least have a break from work for a little bit. Of course we'll be very busy at home with the baby, but it's a different kind of work.
That's about all!
Hugs,
Carley
