17 weeks

anabelle and i both seemed to do some growing this week.  after a week off from crossfit, we made our way back.  i was sore, as was to be expected, and am working on building those callouses back up.  anabelle was right at home back in her tire.  for now, i'm still able to pull out a few pull-ups at a time, but they are surely getting tougher.

(a little tire smudge on her nose after crossfit)

my abs have officially gone on vacation until the fall and i have found myself with hips again.  i’m trying to make room for you, miss emilymae. 

i made the transition to maternity pants this weekend, aahh!

anabelle is getting taller now, but still a peanut. she has just started calling out ‘mama’ and ‘papa’ from her crib. she enjoyed her first bites of crawfish and alligator this weekend while family from louisiana were in town. we were all spoiled – chris and i even got a date out to a movie (a 3pm showing for us these days). we saw ‘acts of valor’ and it was incredible! intense, but incredible. be sure to take along tissues or wear long sleeves if you decide to go see it yourself.
