Half Way There!!!

20 Weeks!!!What an exciting moment to finally get to. 1 year ago this past week we experienced the 1st miscarriage. At that time I didn't think that we were every going to be able to be parents, and now I am posting pictures of our little Addison and big belly shots. It brings tears to my eyes and a lot of joy to my heart!
To celebrate Larry and I went to dinner last night ( Date Night).  Larry seems to celebrate always eating lobster and steak. So we had to keep the tradition going by getting lobster and steak. I went crazy and got a tea to drink, don't worry just 1, and then to Zesto. I definitely did the splurging there by getting an extra large Banana/Chocolate yogurt swirl in a waffle cone. Even the lady and Zesto said, are you sure......IT WAS AMAZING!! We went the long way home and I still had some to finish. But no need to worry(Mom), I finished it all..
After that we topped the night off by watching, Date Night.
As for the Belly shots, I once again feel bigger, but it may not be that clear to anyone else. Keep watching and I am sure sooner or later that WOW, she is huge moment will occur.

Thanks everyone for the support and Hurray!! We made it half way

18 &19 Week Belly Shots

We had such a busy week last week that I forgot to post my belly shots. I have promised my sister that I would do this every week so she and the rest of our friends and family could see Addison and Mommys growth. I definitely feel that I am pregnant, but in a wonderful way. I am just starting to officially look like I am pregnant and not just FAT. My butt feels fat, and my mom seems to think that this is true. All the Krause girls have one thing in common, Honesty!!! (Mom, I wouldn't have it any other way.)

Please enjoy watching me grow, as I will enjoy eating a lot.

This is the 18 weeks shot! But look at those boobs!!!

This doesn't seem to do 1 week justice, but I grew!

Shot from my view. Now that's a belly!!

It's a GIRL!!!

This is her spread eagle!!! We are looking up through her legs. Doctor said that she is no doubt a Girl.

We had our 20 week appointment ultrasound yesterday at 19 weeks, and it was AMAZING. We made it quite special by taking the ones that matter most. Larry and I had to get permission to bring the entire family(minus Bryan) with us. Of course it was Larry and I, my parents and sister, and Larry's parents. We were all a bit excited and ready to make sure that our little one is doing well. I had to remind all of the onlookers that this was a doctors office and that they must not be so LOUD!!!!! I know that the ultrasound tech was not sad to see us leave.
It all started and she told us to not ask questions at first so she can measure and look at the baby (purpose of the appt.) Well you can't tell the Krause women not to talk.... She said that everything looked great and that it was time to find out what it was. Dad was practically laying on me on the table saying, It's a BOY!! Sorry Dad, you were wrong. She showed us our little angel, with her legs wide open. (Gosh I hope she learns to control that.) Larry knew all along that he would be blessed and cursed with another girl, just like her mommy.
We were all so excited that we headed to the mall to shop for our pink stuff as soon as the appointment was over. We didn't come home with too many things, but got our little girl her first, Daddy loves me and Mommy's little angel outfits.
We all can't wait to start decorating her room in pink and getting prepared for her arrival.
Thanks family for going, it really means a lot to have your support and love.
Oh by the way, we decided to name her Addison!!

Her profile shot. Gosh I can't wait to see her!!!

Addison, your one lucky girl. You have so many people that love you already!!!!

Her feet. The bottom picture is easier to see. The camera is shooting from the bottom of foot.

Baby Pictures

We went to the Doctor last Monday and we were surprised when we were asked if we would like an ultrasound. Of course, we couldn't refuse the offer. Here are some shots of our little one. This was at 17 weeks and he/she was active as you may be able to tell in some shots. We do not know the sex yet because we told them that we wanted to wait until our whole family could be there. We will be returning on Friday Aug 20th. More pics to come.
