I think I felt LB KICK!!!

That is right....I THINK I FELT Little Burger KICK!!!  

My doctor and friends have said I might begin to feel the baby kick between weeks 16 and 22.  

I have been told it feels like a little 'flutter' in your stomach.  

Last night I did not sleep well...tossed and turned....my stomach was just not comfortable.  

Well, I think that is because Little Burger was moving around!  

This morning at work I felt 2 kicks!!!  

Can't wait to find out if the kick was from 'him' or 'her'!

Super cool....and made me even that much more excited for our next appointment.  

LB must be getting so big!

The Spirit of Giving

It is always great to give back during the holiday season.  

Here at work, Stanley Korshak has been doing some great things:

We participated in Dallas' Partners Card in which $24,000+ was collected/donated to the Family Place!  This morning we had the check ceremony!

Salvation Army Angel Tree:  The store selected 12 wonderful little angels to provide a Merry Christmas to!  To kick it off we had hot chocolate on a cold morning and sang Christmas carols.  

The executive office was incharge of a little girl with a wish list which included a camera and jeans.  Hopefully she will enjoy her new camera, jeans, shirts, boots, accessories, and so much more!

Wedding in Austin

We had a great time at Rebecca Lucas' wedding in Austin this weekend!  

It was great to get dressed up with the hubby and see some college girl friends.  

AND, we got to stay and play with Eden & Drew on Sunday!

Cutest niece & nephew ever!

Week 15 - 4th Doctor Appointment

It has already been 4 weeks since our last doctor appointment.....time is flying by!

We again got to hear the heartbeat which was amazing.

We go back January 5th for an ultra-sound....and to learn the gender of Little Burger!!!

Little Burger is the size of an orange!

My energy in finally back...I am actually getting stuff done around the house again (I know Austin is excited about this)!  My hunger is back to normal as well.  I do experience headaches some...the doctor says to drink caffeine to help.  As such, I had a glass of ice tea for lunch after this appointment  =)  I feel I have an official bump.  I can still hide with clothes....but I know it is there!

Cutting of the Christmas Tree

Austin and I enjoy going to a Christmas Tree Farm, selecting the perfect tree, and cutting it down (well at least I do!)!  This year we went to a place outside of Tyler on our way home from Thanksgiving celebration with Austin's grandparents.  Kate came along and enjoyed every moment of it!  After cutting our tree we enjoyed smores by the camp fire before heading back to Dallas.

Thanksgiving Duck Hunts

Austin and Kate had a great time duck hunting while in Victoria for our Thanksgiving visit. 

I will never understand the love for waking up in the early hours of the morning along with hanging out in cold water...but they both enjoyed the successful hunts! 

Thanks to Bryce and the ‘Martin family’ for including the Shamburgers!

 

 

Week 13: 2nd Trimester!!!

Little Burger is the size of a peach! 

I was so relieved to get to this point with no issues. 

I was truly over joyed…..I am having a baby….my own Little Burger!!! 

I was ready to shout it from the roof tops!
