Somehow between Saturday afternoon and Sunday night, my belly popped out of nowhere. That is no exaggeration, either. On Saturday, someone probably never would have guessed I was even pregnant. On Sunday after church, my stomach inflated like a balloon and by Monday morning I was getting more comments than ever about how big I got! But it is definitely exciting to see myself grow.

I'm getting more and more anxious as time passes, because I want to see his sweet face! I have had heartburn since my 5th week of being pregnant (which I consistently hear is strange, seeing as most women don't get it until their 30th week or something). And I have been told heartburn means a fluffy head of hair on a newborn baby. We will see! Today I am 17 weeks. In this picture I am 16 and a half weeks.

Bits & Pieces of the Hargrove Life Together...

Derek and I found out on May 1st, 2009 that we are pregnant with a little Hargrove! We feel we have been so blessed to have this baby come down and join our family. We found out on Saturday, July 18 that we are having a boy! It took some fishing around to find his "parts" but he gave up and spread 'em wide so we can see him in all his glory. We are thinking of naming him Hunter Scout Hargrove. It will be a big name to live up to, so hopefully he has Derek's figure instead of mine. Our official due date is January 10, 2010. Being born in 2010, he will think the 1980's was soooo long ago, seeing as that's when Derek and I were born. Crazy how times change, and how they change so quickly and without warning! Life in El Paso is good, even though the culture here is...interesting. We are looking to buy a house in the next few months; it can be stressful and exhausting looking for houses but it is also an activity we have enjoyed. Lately we're into Harry Potter and have been having "Harry Potter Marathons"...trying to catch up so we can see the latest movie, which looks excellent! There is so much more happening with the Hargrove Family but so little time to write it all! I will post pictures soon of my 4 month pregnant belly for everyone to see!
