A great weekend for football this weekend!! Yes, it was the ever exciting KU vs. K-State football game as well as Gary, Daniel's dad's, surprise birthday tailgate for his 50th birthday this weekend. Both were a HUGE success!! Gary didn't have a clue about the party and K-State had an awesome victory over KU 17-10. It was quite a fun game and the weather cooperated perfectly being in the mid to upper 70's. We were sad my parents weren't able to make it as my dad just had shoulder surgery, but he seems to be doing well:) My sister was able to come, however, which was great! One more home game this year for KSU vs. Missouri and then an away game vs. Nebraska. It may be asking a lot, but we are hoping we will not be finished there this season! This football season has been a lot more exciting than we were expecting:)

Here is the latest baby bump picture. This is at 17 weeks. This was from game day prior to leaving for the game, so we had just gotten up and ready at 5:30 am. That explains the half closed eyes:) This has been the week of lots of "Wow's!" The baby has obviously grown and even those who had seen me the week or 2 before were surprised at how much the belly has grown. The most exciting news this week is that I have been feeling the baby moving!!! I'm pretty sure I felt it before, but now I'm sure as I've felt it almost every day this past week. It just feels like a little flutter in my stomach, and is probably the most amazing thing I've ever experienced. Now for Daniel's quote, "It's not fair you get to feel the baby all of the time, I wish I could feel it too." I thought that was pretty great he wants to be able to experience it too:) Our next doctor's appointment is Thursday (we will be 18 weeks then) so we will keep you posted!
