Bumpdate: Almost 17 weeks

How far along: Almost 17 weeks

Size of Baby: 5.1 inches or 5.9 ounces (the size of an onion)

Maternity Clothes: Little bit of both! Maternity pants are more comfy but can still wear some of my regular sweaters with a long tank top underneath.

Gender: Guess we'll all find out in May cause we're going to let it be a surprise!

Movement: Not yet, but super excited to start feeling our little baby!

Sleep: Can't get enough!

What I miss: Being able to eat fish whenever I want

Symptoms: Still having morning sickness. I usually just get sick once every morning around 7am, then I'm good for the day!

Cravings: Oreos and milk

Best Moment of the Week: Having a great 16 week check up and hearing Dr. Markham tell us our baby is growing perfect!

Looking Forward To: Our 20 week appointment and ultrasound. We haven't had an ultra sound since 6 weeks.


In other news we had quite the snow storm yesterday. It started snowing about 10am and didn't stop for a good 10 to 12 hours later. We ended up with a few inches of snow and under the snow there is quiet a bit of ice since it rained early yesterday morning.
Our timber just west of our house

I am very grateful for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Last year I worked from home while living on gravel roads, so I didn't have to travel to work when the weather was bad. I worked yesterday and drove home during the storm and had NO PROBLEMS! Our lane way has a bit of an incline to get into the garage and I didn't have to take a running start since I had the jeep! I feel a lot better not being so low to the ground this winter also.

And lets not forget my 1st baby! (Its ok Dad I know your rolling your eyes) Wrigley is loving the snow! He stays outside all the time and yep that means during this super cold time of the year! He officially has his "winter coat" so he stays really warm. Isn't he just precious!!
Sorry for the mess this is on the back porch. I'll be honest we don't keep it picked up!
This is what I think Wrigley was thinking during this picture "If I just close my eyes maybe she'll stop taking pictures" haha
This weekend Brent's relatives were deer hunting at our place. We stopped by and talked to them while they were finishing up today and asked them if Wrigley was in their way at all, of course they enjoyed him but they gave him a new name they call Wrigley "White Fang"....hmm..ok? I don't think he looks like a white fang but its pretty funny.

Wrigley has also made a new friend. The semi driver Jamie who hauls my father-in-laws grain from our house said "Your dog loves to wrestle" apparently  Jamie played and wrestled with Wrigley for about an hour one afternoon while waiting for a truck to be loaded! Wrigley loves attention!

And finally, Please keep my Grandpa Rosien in your prayers for his recent lung cancer diagnosis. He will be having surgery December 23rd to remove the tumors!
