This past weekend at Emily's 30th birthday party I had a plate full of fresh strawberries. -Happy Birthday Emily!- This got me super excited for out playgroup outing on Tuesday. The date had been set for a few weeks to visit Hall Family farm in south Charlotte, but since Saturday all I could think about was fresh strawberries. I've been to Hall family farm a few years ago, but for some reason this trip was a whole new experience. Maybe the hay/tractor ride, strawberry slushy, and my sweet baby had something to do with it. The kids were just so excited that you couldn't help but to act like a kid again. We sat in the mulch, ordered a slushy and looked for the black cat on the scavenger hunt. Samuel loved the trip and the geese swimming in the pond! Add bonus they had bluegrass playing on the loud speakers.
We are almost out of strawberries and it's only Thursday! I'll have to plan another trip soon.

Week Ten
Baby Hopkins you are now at 10 weeks! The past 3 weeks we've been busy with 2 ultrasounds and lots of nausea. I don't remember feeling this way with Samuel so I keep telling myself and everyone else each pregnancy is different. Here's a little recap of your tenth week:
Week Ten Stats: from thebump.com
How far along: 209 days to go! We can't wait to meet you.
Weight Gain: I've probably have lost a few pounds from not eating as much and morning sickness. In due time
Sleep: We love to nap and go to bed early. Just have to get up and go to the ladies room once or twice.
Missing Anything: Just a settled tummy.
Movement: too soon
Food craving: I love BLT's and strawberries
Any Aversions: Everything I cook, so weird.
Best moment this week: So far telling a few friends at Emily's 30th birthday part
Looking forward to: Doctors appointment next Tuesday
love,
mama

| With bones and cartilage starting to form and vital organs beginning to function, baby is making major progress. Body length will almost double in the next three weeks, and arm joints are now working. (Soon, legs will too.) |

Cooper River Bridge Run/WALK
We have been one busy family over the past 3 weeks! Hence the lack of blog postings over the past month. Oh well blogging is just for fun right?!
Sometime I'm not sure why we blog. You could just recap everything from Facebook!
On March 29th I headed to Charleston, SC with Ms. Heidi to walk/run the Cooper River Bridge Run with Margaret Hooks and 43,000 other people. Yes, I said 43,000. The number still makes my head spin. The race was fun, exciting, oh and HOT. We started the race an hour late, not the best start experience but still fun. And at the end of the race there was no cop car behind us, goal achieved. Not to finish dead last.
Margaret, Heidi and I had a great girls weekend. Lots of yummy food, hat modeling, and sunshine.
Love the hats! I wanted to take home one of each. Until next bridge run, next time I think I'll train more.
Thanks for an amazing weekend ladies!
Cheers,
Aundrea

March Madness...
Most of you know that we are not into sports at all! But our house sure does feel like March Madness. This past weekend we traveled to Grandma and Grandpa Hopkins house in Pilot Mountain, NC. We talked, worked in the garden, well the boys did anyway, and played lots of rook! I'm really bad at rook and love the talk across the table. On top of traveling the time change this past weekend, note to self: do not travel on a time change weekend. I feel like we are all really tired today.
We didn't start the week off slow either, Samuel had his swim/floating classes this morning. He is so relaxed in the water and loves to float around, not like the other toddlers splashing and putting their whole faces under the water.
Samuel: 13 weeks and 4 weeks
Big news, Samuel is walking now! Not just 8 steps at a time but across rooms. I love his little wobble! He loves to stick his hand in Franklin's water bowl.
Baby Hopkins: 5 weeks along
Symptoms: This morning I got nausea from the smell of coffee and it was hard to eat my morning muffin. But after a few minutes of deep breathing I got it together.
Baby Size: Sesame Seed Tiny Tiny Tiny still an embryo
I'm going to make a doctors appointment today! We can't wait to see this little bean on the big screen and listen to the pidder patter of the tiny heart beat.
