I am officially 16 weeks today, so exciting!!! Our little baby is almost 5 inches long and weighs about 3 ounces. For some reason, in my own little mind, 16 weeks, 20 weeks, 28 weeks and a few others are huge milestones. I don't know where I concocted these ideas but those weeks stick out in my mind. Our appointment is now less then 2 weeks away and I'm hoping that we can schedule our BIG ultrasound a week or two after that. We will soon know whether we are getting a little Chelsea or a little man!!! Any guesses/predictions are welcome. I have started feeling some little nudges which is really fun. It's always when I least expect it and it's always amazing to feel. I hope I still feel the same about the kicks in a couple months when they get harder!Oh...and I've decided no belly pics for now. After I looked at the ones I took I decided I just look fat. I'll wait another month or so and maybe by then it will look more like a baby belly!
It seems like EVERYONE has either just had a baby or is pregnant! Seriously!!! I have so many friends/family members/aquaintances that are pregnant right now it's amazing! I don't think I've gone a day in a long time without hearing "Oh and so and so is pregnant". It just kind of makes me wonder. Maybe I'm reading too much into all this but what if something really big is going to happen soon so a lot of babies are getting sent down right now?!?! It's just really interesting to me because it seems like anyone and everyone who is trying for a baby right now is getting one. And I think it's great!!! So if you're TTC just keep on going because I think right now is the perfect time to be trying for a baby!In other news we only have about 6 1/2 months until we are planning to separate from the Air Force. It's really exciting, but also kind of scary! Let's face it, the economy sucks right now. When I think back to all the years I've been alive this is probably the worse time to find a job. Jacob and I have talked in length about this issue and we've decided that we're just going to do it. We've been preparing and saving for this for the last 5 years and putting it off now will just prolong the inevitable. We want to live near our family and raise our children around them, and that is the most important thing to us. So...we're just going to bite the bullet and try to have faith. We'll be OK! Jacob has figured it all out with his leave days and we are planning to move around the 15-20 of October. Only about 6 weeks after we have the baby, yikes! It will be a stressful time but it will be worth it. Jacob is going to attend college starting in January after we move and we'll just take it one day at a time from there. Wish us luck!!!

wow, you are so right. EVERYONE is either pregnant or just had a baby out here too! i never thought about it till now that it could mean something crazy huge will be coming up...
wow, thats crazy that you guys get out so soon! is jake still up to deploy possibly? will you guys live up in blackfoot? its always fun to watch your kids grow up with their cousins. we will probably never experience that as we plan to stay in the af for 16 more years at least.
i cant wait to start to feel my little fetus move! it didnt feel real when i was pregnant with brynn until i started to feel her move around inside of me. thats awesome that youre feeling your little bean move a little!
and i so see you having a boy. dont know why, but thats what i see you having! what do you want/feel like it is?
Oh my gosh its so close!!! Ah you're so lucky. I'm so glad you guys are separating so I can see you when we come to visit in Pocatello. Marcus and I have talked about driving down for Thanksgiving but we'll see how much snow there is! So hopefully we'll get to see you soon!
