Time for a change

Maybe I should change the name of this blog. I feel like a hypocrite. It has really been a long time since I went for a run ... a real run. I have plenty of "reasons" ... but my favorite "reason" is that Josh and I are expanding our family ...

Yep! Baby Casey will be joining us February 2014! Here's a few photos to catch you up ...

We found out on June 20th - my father-in-law's birthday. We celebrated by having date night at Ginger Red's and Josh bought me beautiful flowers.

At 8 weeks we had our first ultrasound. It's sad that the picture didn't come out nearly as clear as it was on the monitor. This little gummy bear was moving all over the place!

Carrie left us our first baby gift the day of our first appointment. We were very surprised!

During the week of July 4th we had to tell my family because I had been avoiding them. It was so difficult not to tell them every time I talked to them! I was too sick to hang out for the 4th so I spilled the beans. I wish I could have caught their reaction on camera but I didn't.

The weekend of August 9th, Josh's family came for a visit and we shared the news with them. Below is a picture of Grandpa's reaction (I cropped Lainey out due to an unflattering photo only! Nothing personal).

We are absolutely thrilled to be expecting our first child! I love being an aunt so I can only imagine what being a momma will be like. We are officially 12 weeks along. So far, I've been fine except nightly I crash around 8-8:30pm. I am so tired! I can't wait for the 2nd trimester where I hear I'll get some energy back. Then, maybe I can pick up walking or something ... well, we'll see :)

Here's a few more pics we played around with this morning:

I forgot to take my pedometer off ... that's the bulge in my pocket.

Everything looks better in black!

So while I haven't been running, I've been trying to find anything and every thing that actually taste good. It's amazing how my taste has changed. The other day I actually ordered just cotton candy flavored fro-yo ... no chocolate, no peanut butter. This is nothing like me! I have to say the best thing I've had this summer though is Blue Bell Banana Split ice cream - yum!
