18 Weeks!! :)

Well folks, I've reached the 18 week mark...only 22 more to go! Ha! On Sept 7, I go for my ultrasound and will (God willing) find out if we're having a little David or a little Angela! Unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover any "routine" ultrasounds....so this little guy/gal had better cooperate and show itself since the money's coming out of our pccket! Guess that's just the first of MANY expenses to come :) I've only had one dream so far related to the baby. I dreamt that it was a boy....so we'll see. I have this feeling...
At 18 weeks I'm feeling great! No problems at all except for the occassional excruciating pain on my right or left lower belly when I stretch a uterine ligament! But I won't complain:) This whole pregnancy has been very uneventful so far....Praise the Lord! Just this last week I "popped out" a bit. I THINK about a week and a half ago I may have felt the baby move. It was kind of like a popcorn feeling every now and again. And now if I press down firmly on my lower belly and wait I can feel a kick or something. Its very exciting! There is a lot we need to do around the house....just getting organized. The garage and basement being on the top of the list! Anyhow, as summer is coming to a close I hope that any of you still in school have a fun time getting back to the grind! Everyone else take care and know that we love you!

Canoeing at Mohican

Last Saturday, July 29, our whole family went down to the Mohican area to picnic and go canoeing. It was a beautiful day!
The master griller preparing our HUGE 1/2 lb burgers!
Julie's boyfriend Jon and Heather and David around the picnic table
David Brights sister Liz, and Julie with Jon.
Most of our crew dining at the picnic table. Lots of yummy stuff!!! Of course who could eat the other yummy stuff after downing a whole cow it seemed like!
We started canoeing a little after 3 pm. No one else on the river. We actually canoed on the Lake Fork River ( one of the three that flows into the Mohican) and didn't run into anybody else. We had free reign! There was a ton of splashing, tipping and then mosquito biting on our trip. It was really a blast! Looking forward to next year. Before we headed home we stopped and got some ice cream that David Brights dad so nicely treated us to! I was a great day....especially to have us all together again!
