14 Weeks and A New Haircut

I finally took some pictures of my baby belly this week! I'm only 14 weeks along, so sometimes I feel giant, and sometimes I barely notice it. (Ok...I mostly notice it haha.) The weird thing is I still haven't gained weight, so I've either lost it somewhere else, or I'm losing muscle mass or something. I'm still running and doing a lot of activity, so who knows! I did get 7 inches taken off of my hair this week...so maybe that was it! Also, do you love how Avery is in the background?? Recently, it seems like whenever I'm trying to take pictures of anything other than Avery, she somehow runs into the view. Ranger loves doing this too. I was trying to take pictures of our yard and flowers this morning, and Avery and Ranger were in all of them (not on purpose!!) Here's a few more:

This week has been pretty great. Summer is finally here. On Tuesday, Avery and I went to our local park, which has a lake with a beach, and a kids playground as well. The water actually was relatively warm. It was so nice to wade into the water, and it's also great that I don't have to worry about Avery falling too much this year. Last year, she was still a beginner walker, and not too steady in the sand, but now she's great, and she listens well when I tell her to stay near me, and not to go too far. They also have a swimming lane roped off in the lake, designed specifically for open water swimming. It is guarded by a lifeguard, so it's safe to swim alone (without Travis I mean.)  I am looking forward to swimming while pregnant since it's very low impact. It will be a great way to spend the summer.

I've been running and walking a lot this week, and yesterday, we bought flowers for our yard. We also went on the boat for a few hours. We're spending lots of time outdoors after the long winter we had, and we're enjoying every second!
