Week 18 in Vegas

We were very lucky to spend our 18th week preggo with friends (and co-workers) in Las Vegas. We ate way too much delicious food, gambled aggressively and won, and had a really great time! Here's a few pictures...

Keslie (Ben's girlfriend) made a heart from my napkin paper

This was right after I felt Baby Hawes kick for the first time! :) Happy Momma

Our friends Pat & Celeste (co-workers of Taylor's) invited us over for a New Years party, it was a great night! Luckily, I made it past midnight, a huge accomplishment for me these days! :)

17 weeks

We're growing, quickly it seems!

We were 17 weeks on New Years Eve. The doctor said that many women begin to feel the baby move (flutter) anywhere between 15-20 weeks. I haven't felt anything yet, but I'm terribly anxious for it to happen already! It's that feeling like when you're a kid, waiting up for Santa...if only he'd show up already! So everybody starting crossing your fingers that she starts kicking soon :)

Happy 21st Birthday to ME! (OK, OK, 24th...give a girl a break!)

Me & the hubby. I don't know why we look so surprised and bug eyed!

My beautiful Mom

They brought champagne as a gift for my birthday, and brought me raspberry sprite, how sweet!

Thank you everyone for all of my birthday wishes, it was a wonderful day spent shopping with Taylor & Mom and then a delicious dinner at the Melting Pot!
