I know I'm getting big fast with this baby. At this point with Natalie I was hardly showing! Here is a picture of me 12 wks. pregnant with Natalie.

A couple of weekends ago Nathan and I took Natalie to the Chattanooga Aquarium. She looked looking at all the different kinds of marine life. She liked the otters and the alligators the best! She truly enjoyed herself and was watching and soaking everything! We had a great time and look forward to taking her back when she is a little older!

After a few hours touring the aquarium we headed back to Huntsville. Before we got out of the parking garage Natalie was passed out in her car seat. We were going to go and eat some place but decided to head home and let Natalie sleep!

Changes

Finally an update on everything that has been happening in the Reed household! Natalie finally moved up to her big girl class at daycare this week. It was a well needed move and she is loving it! I was worried at first because they sleep on cots but she is doing wonderfully! She is getting so big. Just tonight I was watching some videos of her when she was only a few months old, I got all weeping from watching them. I don't know if I'm just being overly emotional due to the whole being pregnant thing or I'm just sad my baby is turning into a little person! Also this week Natalie had her 15 month check-up. She weighs 20 lbs and is 29 inches tall. Everything is going good. The doctor is a little worried about her not yet forming words, just jabbering but I feel when she is ready she'll start talking.

In other news I'm officially 8wks (almost 9wks pregnant)! We went to the doctor this week and had out first ultrasound!Everything is looking great and right on track! My due date is Sept. 20th! We have a lot of changes going on in the Reed household! We are trying to get ready for a busy spring and summer! We are also moving Natalie into the bigger bedroom so she will have more room the play! We have officially changed from a family of three to A FAMILY OF THREE WITH ONE ON THE WAY and we could not be more ecstatic.

A Note from Natalie
