Months 3 & 4

What have those Browns been up to?  I know that's the question on everyone's mind so I'll finally put an answer to that.  Besides growing a baby (that's my job) we have been pretty busy.  First off, Stephen celebrated his 29th birthday - again!  We had a lot of fun using the occasion as an opportunity to make our big announcement to our SF friends. 

Next we were off to New Orleans to celebrate Beth and Josh's wedding.  It was Tater Tot's first trip and he did great (no, I don't know if the baby is a he still have a few days to wait on that!).  I was a little worried being in New Orleans since it is pretty much a hot bed for all the foods and drinks that moms-to-be are supposed to avoid.  I was good except I did cave and had three raw oysters.  And BOY were they good! 

Congrats Beth and Josh! The wedding was so much fun.

The weather has been pretty spotty here in SF this spring but we have had a few nice weekends.  Stephen and I took advantage of the sun and my increased energy for a couple of hikes.  Here Stephen is in Donner Canyon which is part of Mt. Diablo.  With all the rain there were numerous waterfalls one of which you can see if you squint and focus in on an area just to the right of Stephen's left elbow.

As far as baby news is concerned Tater Tot is growing as is evidenced by my expanding waist line.  My energy is back and I feel great.  I joke that I wouldn't even know I was pregnant except for the fact that I can no longer button my pants!  We have a big day on Monday.  That's when we go for our 19 week ultrasound and should be able to find out if Tater Tot is a he or she.  Be on the lookout for the news to be posted here next week.
