10 Fingers and 10 Toes!




Our last doctor’s appointment was great. Fisher's arms, legs and torso were measured and he is growing at the perfect speed. He did stop moving just enough for us to see 10 fingers and 10 toes, which may not seem like a big deal...but everything at this point is new and exciting. As the nurse said, “let the shopping begin!” Too bad the shopping started about 21 weeks ago, Fisher already has quite an impressive wardrobe!


We were also able to hear the heart beat, which is my favorite part of the appointments. It is an awesome feeling to know that he is just hanging out in my belly waiting to come out and meet us.

Five Months Down, Five More To Go!




Sunday marked the halfway point and we could not be more thrilled. With the holidays coming up, we hope the second half will fly by. I am getting bigger by the second and so is the little guy in my belly. I can now feel his kicks, jabs and punches throughout the day. Christopher has felt him a few times. He gets so excited when he feels the little guy; it is like they are bonding…too cute for words!

We have decided on a name, Fisher Vincent Catone. Chris can’t wait for all of his “buddies” to call him Fish. I think it is precious and can’t wait to meet Mr. Fisher Vincent Catone!

This weekend we went to the pumpkin patch, and picked out pumpkins for me, Chris and Fisher. I just can’t wait until next year, when we can go as a family.

Girl's Trip!

Two weeks ago, I took a trip with the Alabama girls (Sarah, Ashley and Leah) and it was just what I needed. Leah planned a wonderful weekend at her house in Birmingham...thanks Leah! We all got in Friday night, where Leah had delicious apps and cocktails (yes, even one for me) waiting on all of us. Then we went and sat outside and listened to music at a new Mexican restaurant, the girls had some more cocktails and I had delicious water!

The next day we woke up and went to out for bagels and shopping. We shopped for the entire day and treated ourselves to a pedicure...love it!


That night, we went to Sips and Strokes, a painting class where you bring wine and paint with your girl friends. We painted a Van Gogh, and it was hard…here is what it should have looked like:

And here is our final product:


Thanks for such a great weekend, girls! I can’t wait to see you again for the Alabama game!
