Emma is growing...

So Emma Grace is definitely doing some major growing and kicking now. Today was our 22 week ultrasound, and she currently weighs 1 pound 1 ounce, and she loves to stay balled up. It was so much fun with this ultrasound because Marissa kept pointing at her sissy on the screen, Emma was punching, she was picking her nose, sucking her thumb, and we were even able to get some 3D shots...so enjoy

Our First Family Trip to Colorado

So as most of you may know, we recently made our first trip to Commerce City, Colorado to see my family. It was so much fun, and enjoyable to watch Zach and Marissa meet my family. While we were there we were able to spend time with my mommy, two sisters, nieces, and many more friends and family. Also while there, we decided to let Marissa ride the four wheeler with Mommy and Daddy, and she loved it so much! Every time we would try to stop she would cheer and clap until we started again.

Well here are the pictures from our adventure...enjoyGrandma and Kaedynce

Our Little Girl is Growing up

So our little girl is finally moving up to a toddler bed....here is the pictures of new bed and her excitement!!!

20 weeks pregnant

So, I am officially 20 weeks along with little miss Emma Grace Crater, and I felt it was time for more updates and another picture.

Little miss Emma, is definitely a little kicker and it was great because two days ago, we were finally able to see her kick and my stomach moved; its the most precious thing you will ever see. Now she is approximately 10.5 inches long and weighs about 7 ounces; according to my pregnancy ticker.

I as well, am also finally doing better, and was able to finally put on some more weight. Then yesterday, I received my H1N1 shot, which was very easy and almost pain free.

Well enough updates and here is the picture already.
