It's Still Winter

Oops, sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have to work on not falling behind for those few of you who check this out. We had our 3rd ultrasound on Monday to make sure the placenta has moved up, and it has. Everything is good to go. Our little girl is getting so big!! I've posted one of the pics for you to see. We think she has my nose. It's hard to tell in the picture, but it was more clear when we were watching her. We saw her scratch her head, hiccup, and her moving her mouth like a fish. It was too cool. I'm certainly looking more pregnant these days. Laura came over last Saturday night for dinner and was like, " ahh, you have a baby bump now!" Yes, I do. I even had my first stranger ask me when I was due, kind of risky, but oh well. She said, "You look beautiful." Really makes a pregnant woman feel good, since I can't seem to keep my "gut" as Ryan calls it, in my p.j. shirt.
Nothing else really going on around the Murphy house. Ryan and I were both home sick a couple of days last week with the nasty 24 hour flu. Thank god for bread and 7 up. I don't know if I've mentioned it, but Ryan got the crib assembled and the bedding is in place. We see it now everytime we walk to our room. Only about 15 more weeks to go!

Almost 6 months!!

Can you believe that I'm already almost 6 months along???Me neither! Time goes by so quickly!Our little baby girl is still so very active. She is constantly kicking around in there. Ryan felt her kick for the first time last Monday. I was laying on the chair and the feeling felt different to me on the inside and I wasn't sure if it was just in my head or if I could really feel her on the outside, so I laid on the couch and Ryan put his hand my stomach. Not even a few seconds later, wham, she kicked and he jumped. It was very exciting for the both of us. My stomach is growing slowly, or so it seems. Though you can definitely tell I'm pregnant, and it's evolving into more of a round ball. Hopefully my appetite isn't crazy the next few months, it's not looking too good right now. In fact, I'm currently baking a cake! Not just for me either, I think I'll bring it to dinner tonight at my parents' house. It's the least I can do since they're sharing salmon with me. After dinner tonight Pam, Laura, Carrie, and I are going to see He's Just Not That Into You, hope it's good! Ryan's been away all day participating in the Sqwabbit Hunt. It's his 2nd year doing it. They hunt in teams of 2 or 3 and see how many rodents they can shoot and kill. Then they all meet back at one place and weigh up the meat. The winner takes home the traveling trophy! There's also a raffle for many good prizes and chili! Of course, there's drinking as well! I'll have to post a picture of Ryan with his mustache and chops. He looks like a pedophile, but you can be the judge.

Last weekend Ryan participated in the CF Alumni Basketball Tournament. The only have 7 people that show up for their grade, 98'. They played 2 games on Saturday, winning both. They went on to play 3 games Sunday, finishing in 3rd place. One of these years they're bound to get first.
