14 weeks and 2 days...

...left to go! That seems like nothing when you figure pregnancy is 40 weeks total (if you're lucky).

Just a quick update...
Nate:
Nate is doing well! His new (well, not-so-new anymore) job keeps him busy. He does a good job of balancing the stress of his job with maintaining a good home life. (Hear that honey, I really do think you do a good job.) He also enjoys playing on the men's softball team with our church once a week (and I enjoy watching him). He is an amazing husband and I cannot wait to see him become a father!

Ford:
Ford is growing quite big these days. He is pushing 2lbs now...but sometimes with all of his movement, I am convinced he is much larger. I am starting to get to know him better. It is incredible that a woman can say that about her unborn child, but it is true. I know what stirs him, when he's likely to be awake & moving, and just recently I'm starting to feel body parts (mainly just a head or bottom). We have a 3D/4D ultrasound on October 14th, which is exciting! These ultrasounds are incredible because they show so much more detail than 2D ultrasounds. I cannot wait to see his little features!

Me:
I am wonderful! I am trying my hardest to remain active during my pregnancy. This mainly just includes walking 2-3 miles most days of the week, but hey, I do what I can. I really see a different in aches & pains from weeks when I keep up with walking and when I get lazy. It certainly helps with the back pain (helps, not cures). Other than that, I stay busy preparing for Ford and trying to create an organized and calm atmosphere for him to enter into. My big project is Ford's room...painting, organizing, etc. It's hard work but someone has to do it (please catch my sarcasm). I am just feeling VERY blessed to begin living my lifelong dream of being a stay-at-home wife & mother. And it does not hurt having an INCREDIBLE husband!!

That's all from the Wienerts!!
