Baby Stuff

I had to buy my first round of maternity clothes this weekend. I still fit into my normal jeans and some of my tops, but they are starting to get uncomfortable. I was a little depressed about having to buy maternity clothes!! Motherhood Maternity has some cute stuff and my sister and mom got me a bunch of gift cards for my birthday, so Mike and I headed there yesterday and I got some new clothes. The jeans are comfy! I might have to wear them all the time! Here is the official 15 week baby bump!!

15 weeks!

I was getting depressed on Friday because I was looking at pictures of other women who were 15 weeks on this website and some of them looked so tiny! But I guess everyone is different. We haven't bought much baby stuff yet. I had Mike buy a blanket that he can sleep with for the next 2 weeks and I am going to seal it in a bag until baby comes, that way he has something that smells like daddy. I also started our registry at babies-r-us. I don't have a lot on there yet, but I am slowly adding stuff. The registry is under my name (Kara Walker) or co-registrant (Mike Amaro). One thing I did buy though was a diaper bag! So excited about it!!

Go Cougs!!

Last Vacation of the Summer...

We headed up to Port Angeles this weekend to celebrate my birthday. My parents have a house up there on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. They have had it since 1983 and we used to go up there all of the time. Since we are grown and so busy, we only get up there a few times a year. It was so nice to get away for a weekend and relax! I took a ton of pictures, so here are some of the highlights:

Mike on a log.

The beach.

Puppy love.

Mike getting his fishing pole ready. He says he caught a fish, but I never saw the alleged fish.

The sunset.

Peanut in his sweater.

The tide pools.

A cool rock.

A crabby crab.

A jelly fish.

Mila poking the jelly fish.

I wish I could post all of the pictures. It was such a fun weekend! Now it's back to the real world and all that comes with it. Boo!

Bummer!

No new ultrasound pictures!! But in two weeks I might have some new ones to post. Tomorrow we will head up to Port Angeles for the weekend to relax at the beach and celebrate my birthday. I am looking forward to ice cream cake!! Other than that...it's life as usual!

Poor Peanut...

Little peanut got neutered today. He also had a little hernia that got repaired. He is not a happy camper right now. He looks so sad and mad. Poor little guy!! It's life as usual for us. I finished up the quarter on Tuesday and will have 5 weeks off until the next quarter begins. Mike is still doing his Army thing and we are counting down the days until he leaves. I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow and hopefully will have some new ultrasound pictures to share!! I bought a diaper bag too, my first baby purchase! I am not a fan of looking at baby stuff because it's either too pink or too blue. So I have decided my colors will be green and brown with blue accents if it's a boy and pink if it's a girl. But my diaper bag is black and rocks the WSU Cougar logo. So excited!! We are looking forward to celebrating my birthday this weekend on the beach in Port Angeles. Hopefully the weather stays nice!

Welcome!!

Since we are so crazy busy, I thought this would be the easiest way to keep everyone posted on Mike's time in Iraq, my busy life, and the progress of our baby! I hope to be able to post a couple of times a week so friends and family...far and near...can keep up to date!! And I will post pictures when I can, especially of my growing belly. Right now Mike and I are enjoying our last bit of time together. This is the first weekend we have been able to relax in a long time! We are enjoying some relaxation...and some pizza! Next weekend we will be heading to Port Angeles to celebrate my birthday...the big 2-7! More to come later...

Thanks for stopping by!
