Baby McElroy is on the way!!!

Due date is set for March 17th… a St. Patrick’s Day baby!
Ross & I are very excited!!!

I am currently 15 weeks… the First Trimester was somewhat of a challenge. I was able to fight the nauseous feeling by having small snacks for breakfast. However, with traveling and a full work schedule, I could not fight the “tiredness” for anything… once it hit 7pm, I was down for the count! No kidding!!!

Second Trimester has been much better! I’m over the hump and taking full advantage… I am productive at work again and can actually “think” without forgetting ALL of the details! …I now know what Alyce was talking about & how she was sooo embarrassed at times… I have gotten back into my running/work-out routine. The girls & I are set to run the Army 10-Miler on Sunday… no worries, we take plenty of breaks for walking, water, and potty stops. Wish us good luck!

My 16-wk Dr's appointment is set for next Wednesday. Now the big question is whether or not to find out what we're having... Ross wants to know, but I am up for the surprise...

Middleburg & Wineries

What an awesome "Girls Day Out!" Anna & I grew up together in TX and she is in DC working on a logistics project for the Department of Treasury. So, I figured she needed to get the full DC/VA experience before she heads back to TX... had brunch in Middleburg, shopped the boutiques, wine tastings at Piedmont & Pearmund, and had cupcakes in Haymarket. It was a beautiful day to catch-up with an old friend.

Quality Snuggle Time

Ever since I have been traveling more & more for work... Zoe has become a snuggler with Ross.

Labor Day in Texas

Oh my goodness... Cassie, Jaxon & Lorin are all growing up so FAST! It was nice to be able to spend some quality time with our family & friends.

Pop's girl!

Lorin steals the show! She is such a HAPPY baby!
