I am finally getting bigger!

Okay everyone. I am not one to expose myself, but here you go. These are only the second preggers pictures we've taken and you saw the others, which were posted from our trip to Napa. I decided since I am finally "showing" that I would show all of you that don't get to see me on a regular basis what you're missing out on. Saturday (2 days from now) marks the beginning of my 25th week, which is in my 6th month. Today is the first day someone I know actually approach me and asked if I was pregnant. So....although I feel like I've been showing for a while, it's officially now public information! I went to the doctor on Monday and she seemed shocked to discover that I had gained 9 pounds since my previous visit just 1 month ago. WOW! I guess it's time to catch up since I really didn't gain anything until January. (It probably has something to do with me eating donuts and not feeling the guilt of eating them everyday.) :) We still haven't started the nursery, but hopefully I'll get inspired this next week and begin my quest for an adorable "trendy" room for our baby boy. I'll post pictures if we ever get it put together. That's all for now...we miss you all!!

Going to Napa with our dear friends!

Our dear friends Emily and Ryan came to spend the weekend with us last weekend and we had such a nice time with them! For those of you that don't know Emily her and I go way back to the good 'ol days of working at G-Bank together. They have lived in St. Louis for the last few years, which is really where we became close. Jeff and I gave them the Napa Valley in a day tour where we see everything we can in just one day. We had a beautiful day for Napa and I think they were shocked at how much they enjoyed it as well. For those of you thinking about visiting COME ON! Jeff and I can also give you the Napa in a day tour as well.

This is the four of us at the Sutter Home winery. This quickly became the favorite stop because the wine tasting was free and the wine by the bottle was cheap. The people were really friendly too. Plus, they offer an alcohol free vine called Fre so Kassi was happy too. :)

Before the Napa tour started we took Emily and Ryan to our favorite breakfast spot Huckleberry's to fill up before all of the drinking started. YUM!

The Trefethan Winery, another favorite stop on the tour.

Okay, for those of you that have been asking for baby Ward pictures a.k.a. Monkey here is the best shot your going to get for a while. I'll inform you that this was the first day of wearing the pregger jeans and boy was I loving that! Felt like I was wearing my jammies!

A beautiful blue house we drove by. Emily would have moved there in a heartbeat.

As Emily said it, this is 40% of the G-Bank crew right here.

We finished off the Napa day with a stop at Taylor's Refresher for snacks and shakes. A perfect relaxing environment for the warm day.
