It is so hard to believe that we are almost to our 3rd trimester!!! Oh how we have so much to do! We need to get busy on the baby room, get furniture, and register. Those are my goals in the next few weeks. We have something going on every weekend until the end of June so wish me luck :) I feel like my belly is growing by the hour. It keeps feeling tighter and tighter! I still feel great! My energy is diminishing at night though.

Last week we had our ultrasound! It was AMAZING! We could see the baby's features and everything! I was grinning the whole time and I don't think my smile could have gotten any wider! I made sure to tell her over and over that we didn't want to know what the sex was. She did all the measurements and everything looked wonderful! Baby Moore was moving like crazy! It's arms were going back and forth the whole time like it was waving at us:) Tami, the ultrasound lady, said she was very impressed how long the legs and arms were. Must take after it's daddy :) I said, "better yet, can you please tell me how big the head is?" She just laughed and said it was measuring normal. Let's pray it doesn't have a huge dome like it's mama! She zoomed in on the heart and could tell it had all the valves and the brain is functioning just like it should be. It was amazing how much we could see. Priceless!

Our landscaping is coming along too. If the weather would work with us, it would be going faster! Freddie and Marc came last week to help Troy pour the cement pad. It looks very nice! When we finally get some nice weather, then they are going to come back and build the steps. Then we will be able to get all the plants put in and rock laid and we will be done! We can't wait!

Last weekend was very busy for us! Justin graduated from ISU (yes, we won't hold that against him :) ) on Friday night. We are so proud of him! I know he is relieved to be done as well and focus on his job. After we went to eat at one of my favorite restaurants, Hickory Park! YUM! Saturday we got up and went to Pella to stay with Justin and go to Tulip Time. I am sad to say that all the tulips were dead but they had GREAT food! That night, we went to the lighted parade and watch the Nadas perform. Sunday we enjoyed Mother's Day with our wonderful mothers! They have given us unconditional love and support. We are so thankful and blessed to have them both in our lives! We had a great weekend! I am happy to also add that we have 16 days of school left :) :)
