16 weeks pregnant

Cooler weather has come to Hong Kong and we are loving it! It has been especially nice to sit up on our roof garden. Rudy loves to play fetch (although it is more like him and Brad playing soccer) and run around in the open space. We feel very blessed with our new flat! I thought you would all like to see some pictures of all the plants that Brad has bought, although he feels like he still would like to buy more to create more of a "jungle" feel.

Here are some 16 week belly pictures. I'm feeling very good and have an appetite finally! It has been fun to actually start showing and hopefully I can feel this baby move very soon. I have started telling my students I'm pregnant and I have had some funny responses. One girl wanted to know if I had started buying socks for the baby. I guess that is an important part of preparing for a baby here in Hong Kong :-) We can't wait for our Dr. appointment in November when we find out if we are having a girl or a boy and get to see our little jelly bean on the ultrasound again.

    You look so happy Emily. You have that glow about you that says "mid-trimester is The Best". Was fun to see your pix of Brad and Rudy, too. Saw photos of your mom and dad apple-ing with Ty and Juls while Marcia and I were up in Maine with Brynn, Jed welcoming baby boy Micah Robin Wartman. He's a keeper! Blessings to you all.
    Rand and Marcia.

    Congratulations you two! (I mean three!)
    Your post made me think of this book that I loved when I was small: The Avocado Baby :)
