Today we are 17 weeks pregnant and time seems to be flying by! I can't believe it's already so close to Halloween. We began decorating the house this past weekend in preparation for our annual party. No matter how many times I say we're not buying anymore Halloween "stuff", we just can't seem to help ourselves! Here are some picures of our decorations so far.
We are still getting sweet little baby clothes in the mail from family and friends. My friends Melissa and Emily actually sent me some clothes on the same day. Here is a pic of one of the outfits. What cute little duck feet!
My mom and dad finally caved in and sent some outfits as well. One of my favorites pictured below.

While we are receiving new outfits, my mom reminded me that I have a hope chest full of clothes I wore as a baby. I forget there's actually something in there, Dan and I use it as a bench so frequently! There are all sorts of treasures in the hope chest. Infant onesies and some of the softest pajamas, toddler overalls, shoes, shirts, even some toys saved after all these years. Some of the items I found particularlly interesting, I had to snap some pictures of them.

Last week I joined my friend Kate at the Taste of Altamont. Not quite comprable to the Taste of Chicago, but offer a pregnant woman a food festival and she's there! There were approximatley 20 restaurants serving all sorts of yummy dishes as well as five different dessert stands. Kate enjoyed the adult beverages while I enjoyed a decaf coffee from Starbucks. We even got some free non-edible items. Lucy enjoyed one of those items the most!

We have our monthly doctors appointment tomorrow. They will check my weight and vital signs as well as use a doppler to listen to the baby's heartbeat. They will probably draw more blood as it seems everytime I go, there is another test that needs to be run at that particular time. We will schedule an ultrasound for a couple weeks from now to check out the baby's anatomy and hopefully be able to determine whether it's a boy or girl!
