28 weeks

I missed my 27 week update... so time to play catch up! We had an appointment on Wednesday, everything went great!  I love going and talking with our midwife, Kathleen just has a calming and encouraging personality that I can't get enough of.  We have been so blessed!  Everything looked great with me and our sweet baby boy.  He is measuring two weeks ahead, so at the next appointment if he is still measuring ahead we will schedule a sono to confirm and see where to go from there.  I have a feeling he is just a big boy :)  I will now have appointment every 2 weeks, I have a feeling this is going to make the time go by even faster!  We cannot wait to meet our little man!

4th of July - Thomas' 1st birthday!

On the 4th, Jeff and I headed over to some friends for the celebration of their youngest sons 1st birthday!  They're like family, their oldest, Emma, was a flower girl in our wedding.  We typically see them every week but its been hectic between everyones summer schedules so it was nice to see everyone and just be able to relax and enjoy each others company!  Here are some pictures from the afternoon :)

sorry for the picture overload on this post.. they're just too cute! Hope everyone had a great 4th!

Love, The Todds

Weekend Stay-cation

Jeff and I took a quick weekend trip to Fort Worth this past weekend.  It was so nice just to get away and feel like we had no errands to run, plans to stick to, etc.  Jeff planned to book a trip to Fort Worth for my birthday weekend but the hotel didn't have any rooms available, he still wanted to take me so we went this past weekend.  We arrived Friday evening after work and went to dinner.  Saturday we walked around the square and went to the water gardens (walking distance) and then relaxed that afternoon before our special dinner at The Reata.  It was so nice to just be away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives and we really enjoyed just being able to spend time with each other!!  Here are a few pictures from the trip :)
