Cleaning House for Guests!

So tonight I'm having friends over for dinner to say "good-bye" to Brandy. Unfortunately (for me), she's moving to York, Pennsylvania to work for BAE. I will miss her, since we click so well and just have fun each time we hang out. I laugh about our trip to the river last year. Same on our trip to NYC. We've just had a lot of fun and unfortunately she's now leaving but it's a really good move for her and I wish her the best! OF COURSE! Anyway, we had to clean house and Millie was FAR from helpful! HA!

Baby or Roll

So I've been asked a few times if I'm showing or that they want to see my "baby belly." Well, to me it feels as if I just have a fat roll or just a bit plumper. In fact, I have a girlfriend (won't name any names but you know who you are :D) that was looking at me and thought to herself "gosh Becky's gained some weight," took her a minute to remember that I was pregnant and so she told me, so it does seem as if I have gained weight and not really a baby belly. HEHE! I did go ahead and had Matt take pictures of me since I did have the feeling that I would not be able to see the difference so here are the pictures. After a careful review of my pictures I have realized that I do look different. I cropped my head off since these are after my shower pics, my hair isn't really made up. The first one was taken on February 1st and the last on April 12th.

My Avocado

So as of this past Monday, Baby Stokes is the size of an avocado (or 4 1/2 inches long). Matt and I laugh because the websites tell us what fruit or vegetable the size of the baby is and they differ so much from one to the other. I am 16 weeks along and today I had an appointment. Once again it was great relief to hear the baby's heartbeat! Baby's heartbeat was at 146 BPM. Matt is soo funny he mimics the heartbeat and it just makes me laugh to hear and watch him do it! HAHA! I need to videotape him! HAHA!

Happy Easter!

Flowers are a sure sign of Spring! Karen really enjoyed gardening and did a lot of it around the house from what I know. Well, for the first few years we'd have 1 lily grow out each Spring. The lily is no longer there but this year our rose bushes in our entry way blossomed beautifully this year! I have gorgeous roses! Matt and I went to church service this morning and then grilled out with Rosemary for lunch. It's a rainy, dreary day....so now we're just laying around after our big lunch! Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

Fort Woof Day!

So today Millie and I went to Fort Woof for the Pooch and Pals Promenade event. She had to be on a leash so that's the reason she did so well, although she did growl at a few dogs overall she was very calm and very well behaved if I say so myself. Kelly and I wanted to get the caricatures so I went ahead and got one with the two of us, we waited in line FOREVER but it was fun watching all the other dogs and Millie got videotaped by Fox News DFW but unfortunately she wasn't shown. Millie and I look like we have similar hair dos??? FUNNY....HAHA!

My Eyeball

So I had an eye appointment today and for the past few years they've been taking a picture of my eyeball. Well, I thought it was pretty cool that this time they offered to give me a copy of my eyes! So here is a picture of my right eye (the left looks the same). I really like where I go which is Eyes Nouveau and specifically go to James for my frames because he is really good at choosing just the right frame for me. The frames I have now have been such a hit! Random people everywhere have commented on my current frames! Stay tuned for my new frames!

Bear Coat

So we found a sale and went ahead and bought this baby coat for Baby Stokes. As I was pulling the stuff out of the bag it occurred to me that we should try it on Millie. HAHA! OH the laughs I had putting this on her. My poor Millie just lets us dress her up like a doll and doesn't ever fight us, she truly is the sweetest dog! (to people!)
