Today marks 16 weeks along! I guess my bump is definitely noticeable now because I’ve gotten several more comments from strangers this week. To me, it’s more obvious when I wear certain shirts and less obvious in others. I think it’s just been such a gradual change that I’m not noticing it!

I’m still doing the daily Lovenox injections, and it gets easier every day. It’s really no big deal anymore. I haven’t skipped a day yet, so I guess it’s just part of my normal routine now. Baby Grant is supposedly about 4 1/2 inches long now and weighs 3 1/2 ounces. It’s tiny heart is pumping 25 quarts of blood per day!!! How cool is that!? I’m pretty sure I’ve felt some kicks already, so that’s been really neat. At one point during the Bama game Saturday night I was yelling at the TV, and I’m pretty sure I felt a good kick right after that! I think Baby Grant was saying, “Let me outta here! I can’t see the TV….” Already a Bama fan from the start :)
We’re still just waiting (im)patiently to find out whether it’s a boy or girl. I’ll clarify that…I’m the impatient one. I think Travis would be fine just waiting until the baby is born! I’m still debating whether or not to have the party. Our appointment is 2 weeks from tomorrow, so I’ve got some time to make up my mind :)
Tonight is our first night at home with nothing planned since Tuesday a week ago…whew. No wonder I’ve been so tired lately! We had a great weekend! We had a great gospel meeting at church with Dan Chaney, spent time with lots of friends and family, and watched Alabama win their first game of the season! Roll Tide! Our steaks from Earthfare were awesome!! Definitely not something we’ll buy every time, but well worth it for a special occasion!! Unfortunately, I didn’t get an “after” picture, but here are our “man steaks” before they went on the grill…

One of the highlights of the weekend was eating lunch with Alan and Katie on Sunday. It had been forever since we’d seen them! It was great to catch up with them.
This weekend will be much more low key, and I’m looking forward to some relaxing. Tomorrow we’re going to go to a consignment sale in Huntsville with lots of baby and kid stuff. Who knows what we’ll find…should be interesting! I’ve started a registry at Target, but I haven’t put too much on it yet. I never knew babies needed so much stuff!!! Expensive stuff!!!! Hoping to find some good deals at this consignment sale :)
So, I guess that’s about all that’s happening around here. Can’t believe it’s already September! I need to get out my fall decorations soon….yipee!!
Hope you’re having a wonderful week so far!
