I must say we didn't do too bad! We didn't hit every target, but at least some (I'd say over half I think)! The guys said we did well:-). Here's Lindsey shooting Darrell's .22 rifle.
For those bugging me about not posting baby bump pics, here you can see my big ol' baby belly--I'm only 16 weeks! Although I do think that my improper shooting stance makes it look bigger as my back is arched weird:-). Guess I need to work on that:-). Also, I knew my capris and hiking shoes looked silly, but had I thought about how I'd be posting pics of my outfit on the blog I may have rethought that:-).
Here's Lindsey shooting into our car, j/k:-).
Heidi (Joe's bro's fiance) practicing with a hand gun...
Joe's parents were nice enough to watch Layla and Jonathan while we shot, so the kids came out for a bit to enjoy a little golf cart ride:-).
Joe's dad was itching to come out the whole time, so finally at the end he got a few shots in:-).
These were the guns we had trouble with. I didn't realize how hard they are to shoot and how hard they push you back (12 gauge I think)!
We had more trouble hitting targets with those so us girls didn't even attempt to shoot at the clay pigeons!
Joe's brother, Steve, came and shot too.
Also, I went to the doctor yesterday for my 16 weeks appointment and the heartbeat was 157. I can't remember what Layla's was at this point--I think a little higher. Not that I really believe about girls being high and boys being low--I know if varies so much depending on when you have it checked. I know when I was hooked up to a monitor with Layla it was all over the place! But it's still fun to guess:-). 3 weeks from yesterday is our ultrasound! I can't believe how fast it's going! I don't want to rush it (I want to enjoy being a mom of 1), but I'm looking forward to a few more weeks when hopefully I feel better and then I'll be looking forward to getting close to 30 weeks so that I can feel more confident about having a healthy baby. We still haven't decided if we'll find out at the u/s what we're having. We were thinking we wouldn't (like last time), but it'd be nice to know for planning reasons! We just haven't really talked about it recently--funny how things are really different with the second baby! Not any less important though:-).

**I just checked and Layla's heartbeat at 17 weeks was 158--so really close! Just wanted to post that for those that like to predict gender based on that.

Your bump is adorable! I think it is a girl--I'm a believer in the heart rate test! It'd be nice if you proved it wrong, though--little boys are too sweet!
it would be great for layla to have a sister :) Lily's heartrate was always low in the 120's so i am not a believer of the "heart rate" test. Unless maybe it's just flip-flopped for me :)
I always thought i would want to know what we were having but after not finding out wiht Lily i loved the surprise so much that i don't think i'll ever find out. You look adorable...i like your little bump :) Can't wait to hear if you decide to find out the sex of baby #2 :)
