One Landes Place

Ok, I tried hard to scan the pictures where they are recognizable, but they didn't come out too great. I'll try my best to explain them. Here is the first one. He's kind of hunched over with his feet dangling at the bottom. This one he's standing up and his head is tilted to his left where his left arm is. Then you can see his belly and two legs and the bottom. The arrow is pointing to his knee. He looks like he is dancing! The nurse had such a hard time getting a good picture because he was dancing around so much. It was the most incredible thing to see him moving around, and he moved a lot! I keep saying "he" but we don't know what it is. It just kind of came out when I started talking about the baby. Anyway, everything looked great and they discharged me to my regular ob/gyn. It's great news but I'll miss weekly ultrasounds! I don't have another one until week 20 and I'm going to miss seeing my little one every week! :( This week it all ...

This pretty much sums up what I've been doing for the past few weeks. Our "son" Roscoe is very good at being lazy, as he does it on a daily basis. Weeks 8 and 9 of my pregnancy were spent in very close proximity to this chair and of course the kitchen and bathroom. Matt has been wonderful, he cooks, cleans, does laundry, who knew! I'm very lucky to have such a great husband to support me while I milked these 2 weeks of being really sick. I think I'm rounding the corner of the sick part. I'm starting to feel better and actually got out of the house the last few days. I have a long way to go. I have my last appointment with the specialist tomorrow and then it's on to the OB/GYN for the rest of the pregnancy. I'll try and scan the ultrasound picture from tomorrow so you can see the little one, hopefully!

It's a Landes tradition that each year for our anniversary, we take turns planning a fun getaway. This year was my turn, which I love because I am THE PLANNER. Matt wanted to go shopping at the outlet malls in San Marcos so I made reservations at this really cool river house in New Braunfels over a month ago. It is owned by a friend of a friend so I got it for free, I thought. About a week before I got a call that the "friend" would need me to send her a check for $200 for a cleaning fee and a utility charge?? I was a little put out, of course because our budget did not call for a $200 lodging fee. Matt and I talked and HE decided we should just forget about the cabin and "wing it" for the weekend. We could find a hotel when we got there. He really didn't want me to get stressed out about planning something. I'm in a season of my life where I am really trying to let go of some control and trust my husband with things so I agreed (against my will). You kn...
