I am officially in my final trimester! I know that the last trimester is going to be totally different as I see my belly growing every day and bending over is becoming a huge task. So far I have been very comfortable and not too tired but I just know that will not last much longer. In fact, this past weekend we had a garage sale that really wore me out. While I was happy to get rid of a bunch of junk, I just could not help but think this is a hard way to make a few extra bucks. Especially being pregnant in 100 degree weather.:( We survived and now we have money for the rug in Emery's room or as Brent would say a new fence for the backyard. We have only been in our house a year and a half but the things you can accumulate in one year is very surprising. So my advice is to keep a room in your house completely empty. With life always changing it is not worth all the work to fill it up with stuff just to have a garage sale in 100 degree weather so you can clean it out to fill the room up again. Although making a nursery is so very fun!
I want to say congratulations to my college friends Kasey and Jessica who last week gave birth to two healthy baby girls. I must say that it is very encouraging to see my friends go through pregnancy start to finish and to see the little precious miracles that are the reward at the end of it all. God is so good!
I have my first shower this weekend which I am so excited about. It really is just so fun and I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family in my life to share all these life moments with.
Thank you all for everything! Emery's nursery is coming along and I will post pictures once the glider arrives.

Summer Fly By
I just can't believe that July 4th has come and gone, and with NO fireworks this year :(. Brent and I had a wonderful few weekends at the lake and the beach with family and friends. The thing about weekend trips is that they are never long enough and the ride home on Sunday or Monday is always depressing. The only way to cure it is with the plan of another weekend trip! And the cycle starts over though I would not trade the memories of the weekend trips for anything. I also know that then Baby Emery makes her debut, the weekend trips will be few and far between. So for now, our weekends will stay busy with trips across Texas.
This week I am 25 weeks along and feeling great. I do feel like my belly is growing everyday but I guess that is a good sign. My appetite has picked up and I really find myself hungry every 2 hours. I am trying to stay inside as much as possible and when I go outside I try to find a pool, a lake or a beach to take a dip in. I did purchase a tankini a few weeks ago and I am having a little trouble adjusting to that type of bathing suit. I feel like tankini's on other people are so cute but just not on me. I really still like to sport the bikini but I am sure there will be a time very soon that my belly button pops out and I start to feel like shamu the whale. We are starting to clean out the office to make room for the baby's room which I am very excited about decorating. When it comes to decorating a little girls room, I feel like everything out there that is pink is the cutest pink thing I have ever seen. This is why you must take a friend or family member shopping with you to help talk some common sense into your purchasing decisions. ;)
Today I called the hospital and registered for a few classes. Well actually I registered for all of them. I just kept thinking in my head that it is best to educate myself and/or Brent. When I told Brent about the all day Saturday class that is 12 hours long, his exact words were "are we getting our masters degree?" which I though was funny considering that was just one of the classes I signed up for. The other classes are ones like breast feeding and car seat installation but the long one is an all day affair and I am sure after that class we will be Masters in Child Preparation...which is half the battle. Right?

Blogging For Dummies and the Baby Moon
Long time no blog, I know I know!! And to think I was so gung ho a few weeks ago. Since my first post I was very disappointed in how my page turned out, things not centered the background all crooked and my widley tink not working but since then I have improved in every aspect. I have even added a picture. My next goal is to get a play list on here. Of course none of my blogging skills would have been perfected if it was not for my "Blogging for Dummies" session I had with Haley. She really helped me out on this one. Lets just say that blogging takes time and patience and works better if you are not a type A personality and lack of perfection does not bother you.
Since my last and first blog, alot has happened. We found out that we are having a little GIRL! We are so excited! I am so looking forward to spoiling her with love and love and more love and cute clothes. I am also looking forward to watching Brent become a Dad to a little girl. I just think that is the sweetest most precious kind of relationship a dad to a daughter.
Speaking of Dads....Brent and I had a wonderful Fathers Day in Chicago!! We decided a while ago to take a short Baby moon to a place we had never been and for one reason or another we decided on Chicago. Actually it is the same time zone and Southwest Airlines flies direct from San Antonio to Chicago so that pretty much made our decision. The weather was beautiful, in the 70's . We took an architectural boat tour of the city, went to the Cubs and Yankees game, we ate at Giordano's pizza and Gibson's steaks, saw the Second City Comedy show and had a wonderful outing at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Overall a wonderful trip with great food, weather, company and sights. The picture above is from our boat tour.
The Baby moon was very enjoyable and at a perfect time in my pregnancy, the beginning of the 2nd trimester. Not too big yet, have my appetite back, got some energy so why not!! I will say by the end of the trip my feet were swollen and that reminded me that I definitely was pregnant!
I know I have promised a belly picture and you will get one soon enough. Honestly there really has not been much to see until recently. At 22 weeks I have officially got a pregnant looking belly not just a gross beer belly type thing going on.

Let the Baby Adcock Adventure Begin
Hello Family and Friends,
As we have been debating to join the blogging world, we decided that today would be as good a day as any day to try it out. And since the world is due to end tomorrow, I guess we do not have much to lose, just kidding. Now this is our first post so we are trying to think about what others would even find interesting to read about so please forgive us if this is boring. We will get better at this we promise so here we go....
We are excited to start with some great news....WE ARE HAVING A BABY!
Our bundle of joy is due November 1,2011, that is 11/1/11!Pretty cool.
Baby bump pictures will be posted soon. Many people have told me that I am not showing at all but I swear the bump is there and Brent agrees. Plus my pants are not fitting anymore and that is a sign.
We could not be more excited to become parents and grow our family. I am a little over 16 weeks along and am feeling great. Despite my crazy work schedule this time of year, the lack of caffeine and sleep, I was very lucky to not feel terrible during the first trimester . Since I am on the road so much for work I have replaced caffeine with soft serve ice cream. I love vanilla cones! I think that Chick-Fil-A and Dairy Queen have the best vanilla cones around. If you have not had a vanilla cone in a while, I suggest you go get one and your will fall in love. You might even replace your morning coffee with a daily vanilla cone as I have done.
We have a big day coming up and that is June 3. This is the day we find out BOY or GIRL! The thought of this day makes us anxious. Really more anxious to have a good report from the doctor that the baby is healthy and all the fingers and toes are in the right place than actually knowing the sex of the baby. We are going to love our little Benjamin Michael or Emery Catherine no matter what. And yes those are our names.
Tomorrow we take out 8 month old yellow lab named "Goose" Lucy to her orientation/trial at Camp Bow Wow. Wish us luck! I am sure we will have a story to two to tell from that adventure tomorrow.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
