14 Week Appointment

Wayne and I had our 14 week appointment this morning!  It was the first time Wayne was able to join me.  And aside from a bit of a weirdness of realizing he was surronded by a bunch of women who were going to their "girl doctor" I think he really enjoyed it!  I had not gained any weight since my last appt, so I have only gained 1lb during my pregnancy!  Shocking!  I was secretly crossing my fingers for a sonogram but we were able to hear the baby's heartheat without one - it was 140!  My doc is betting on a boy, but he and I are the only ones thinking such!  Ha!  Overall, it was a quick and easy appointment, and it really is more fun with the husband present! :)
Developmently Baby B is the size of a lemon hence the cute graphic!  Baby B can now squint, frown, grimace and suck its thumb!  Isn't that adorable? Amazingly Baby B is only 3 1/2 inches long and 1 1/2 ounces!!!  And me, I have started feeling amazingly better in the last 24 hours.  I actually ate a real dinner last night and had energy!  And Wayne, he says he is gaining weight bc he has been finishing off all of our meals when I did not have an appetite!  Ha!  So, all is GROWING well in the Black home!  :)

Starkvegas!!!

Wayne and I joined Tallie and Caleb in Starkville this weekend to watch the Bulldogs take on the Crimson Tide!!!  Although the outcome of the game was not so great, the festivities were fantastic!  We tailgated with a great group of friends & saw tons of college friends!  We joined Cathy and Bob (Caleb's parents) for the game IN THEIR BOX!!! And we really enjoyed staying with the Luke's at Browing Creek!  Now I think I am spoiled...
