week 17

Here we are another Monday. Last week went by pretty quickly and I'm hoping this week does the same. I really cant wait till we have the ultrasound. I'm so anxious to find out what b is! I am now at 17 weeks and here is what my little update tells me.


Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.

A couple things I've read said I could start feeling b moving around just slightly and I'm pretty sure I felt b today. It was quite different then what most tummy stuff feels like and it was just for a couple seconds but I'm almost positive. It was pretty exciting. I have my bradley classes aalll set up. I sent my deposit into the instructor and we are scheduled to start May 4th!

This weekend was fun. We looked at a lot of apartments for danielle. She is thinking about moving but we havent found anything just yet. The search continues!!
We spent some time in the backyard, playing cards which was great. It was so nice not to be inside or doing anything. It was awesome being able to just relax.

Here are my new flowers I planted last week. I love them as the new addition to our backyard and looking forward to when they grow thicker. I'm going to show off how well our plants are doing in the back, everything is flowering its so pretty!! Its so relaxing to just hang out back. We have the solar on for the pool so hopefully it stays nice and makes the pool around 80 so we can go swimming this weekend! God I love weekends!

Here are my newest additions..
Freesia & the little purple flowers are ground cover. I"m hoping to have all the rock covered one day by this cute little plant!

here is a better look at my purple ground cover (i forgot the name lol) its soo cute!


My potato vine on the side of the yard is doing great, This is what I see out my kitchen window. Its grown so much since last year.




Our palms are growing nicely


I just love the Orange kiefer lily, its amazing when they bloom.







oookay thats all. It just makes me so happy and peaceful looking at them :)

Have a great week!
