July Happenings Part 1

We started July off with a black eye!  Bradford slipped while on the changing table and knocked his brow bone causing an ugly black eye for a few days!

 We went to the doctor July 3 at 9 weeks along to meet and see our little peanut.  It was very exciting!  We got to see the heart moving, hear the heartbeat and talk to our new doctor.  We are very excited to be walking this journey a second time around!

We celebrated Independence Day by heading to our friends pool in Burlington with friends to eat pizza and stay cool in the hot sun!  That afternoon we went with our neighbors to a cookout with some of their church friends where we watched fireworks!  Unfortunately I was quite disappointed that Bradford could have cared less for the fireworks, but he still had fun running around with the other kids playing basketball and playing on a fun swing set!

I have still been giving lessons at the barn and here is my favorite horse Chief.  He has a lot of attitude and you never know what you will get when you ride him, needless to say I will not be riding him at all now that I am pregnant.

The guy that mows our yard found a new friend for us for the day!  Mr. Turtle was not very interested in us and he hung out for  a few hours on the counter barely moving until we released him at a nearby park into the woods safe away from mower blades!
                               
                               

We went to Wilmington to hang out with our friends Erin and JP and Frank and Heather at the beach and to attend a wedding.  Andrew's parents were kind enough to watch Brady and Brolly for us, so we dropped them off with them after dinner Friday night and headed on down to the beach.  Saturday I got to try out paddle boarding for the first time and it was really fun!  We had a wonderful time swimming and soaking in the sun.  Saturday evening we went to the wedding of our college friend Paul and his wife Lindsey and got to see lots of our good friends from UNCG!
                                
                                 

 

Here I am July 20 at almost 12 weeks along and starting to get a little bump!  Baby B definitely started showing up quicker in the belly area than Mr. Bradford!
