This has been another wonderfully relaxing weekend. Which, nowadays, is definitely needed for both of us.

Saturday we celebrated our three years of being together…three years ago, Andrew and I were going on our first date. It was the best first date I had ever had, and I have to say, it was even better yesterday than it was three years ago. So much has changed since then and it was really fun to compare now to then. We went to eat at Churrascos, which was yummy as ever, then headed over to Central Market to walk around and look at all the crazy foods they sell there. (Which is exactly what we did on our first date.) After we gawked at $199/pound  truffles we headed over to the galleria to pick up some cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. We tried a new one, peanut butter something or another, and were highly disappointed. Of course it didn’t stop us from eating it all.

I cherish spending time with Andrew….it was a wonderful evening and I look forward to many more to come!

On to baby news…

I am now 16 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty great! I still feel pretty wiped out after I get home from work, but not anything like before. A baby bump is starting to show, so that is exciting! Evey once-in-a-while I feel the baby move around…it almost feels like I have little butterflies in my stomach. It is the most amazing feeling ever! One day at work it felt like Peanut was knocking on my stomach….like, “hello! anybody out there?”

Peanut is now, according to the book we are reading, 3-5 ounces and 4-5 inches long. His/Hers muscles are growing stronger, eyes and ears are in the right place and the eyes are actually working now! (although they are not going to open, they can perceive light). It is so incredible to know that there is a little baby growing inside of me…I can’t wait to meet our sweet baby.
