Initial Belly Photo

Many of you have commented that I need to post pictures so you can see the growth of my belly. Well, here I am at 13 1/2 weeks. Not much to be seen yet, but I can already tell a difference. Luckily all of my clothes still fit normally so hopefully I can wait a few more weeks before switching to maternity clothes. We'll see...

Over the past two weeks since we told family, little baby Puckett has received a few cards and gifts. My mom and soon-to-be Aunt Sarah and Uncle Tom (Mark's brother) sent adorable cards, and Mark's cousin Andy and his wife Ashley (expecting their 1st baby, Jackson, in January) sent two board books to start our little one's library. Thank you!


Mark's mom had a little gift waiting for the baby when we got into Louisville on Thursday- she just couldn't help herself! She loves these "sweet pea" gowns, and we know they'll come in handy for middle-of-the-night diaper changes! She picked out gender neutral yellows and a white one with ribbon trim and matching blanket. They are sooooo soft!

Here is a close-up of the ribbon trim. So sweet!

The little one also received its first toy, a frog. The frog croaks when you squeeze its belly and Maggie, Mark's parents' yellow lab puppy, thought it was a toy for her!
