37 weeks...

This might be the last week I post a photo of myself. On Friday I took Josh on a date to the Mona Lisa Fondue Restaurant. It was a lot of fun! The food was delicious! This picture was us on our way out the door. Josh is looking especially slim lately after having his tonsils, uvula, and part of his soft palate removed. He lost about 12 pounds while on his liquid only diet! All is well here, we are just ready and waiting for this little princess to arrive! We can't wait to meet her in person!! I will try to post pictures this week of the nursery since it is really finished now!

Also, last week Josh went to get some coffee where 95.1 was broadcasting live and he won me a nice little gift basket!And since I didn't post it earlier, here is me at 36 weeks, I apologize for whatever was going on with my hair...apparently I didn't think to brush it before the picture! Oops!

Daron Short is a good friend of ours and took some pictures for us. He is SO talented and has such a creative eye. This was his first maternity shoot but I think he did an amazing job!









35 weeks!

32 weeks

Here we are at 32 weeks! We had a baby shower last weekend so my mom flew out. It was so nice to have her here! We have the nursery organized for the most part and I am having another shower this week at work so we'll see what else we get from that one and then probably have a few last minute things to still pick up. While my mom was here we went and picked out a rocking chair and that arrived last night. It is in about a million pieces so that is Josh's weekend project! I have been working out the details of my maternity leave for work and my boss is very supportive and helpful. Praise God!

30 weeks

Can't believe how close it is getting to the due date! She is still quite active. I think she has learned how to dance! Right now she is jamming out to Chris Tomlin and she has decent rhythm. We got another huge box of baby clothes from one of Josh's co-workers, people are so generous!! Yesterday we went hiking but our camera was dead so no pictures of that!

29 weeks!

My first baby...still trying to figure out how she will handle the change of sharing the attention!

Taking a little break because that is how we do now. =)



Well here we are at 29 weeks.
We went for a hike today and then did some cooking. It was a lot of fun. Baby Girl has been a lot more active lately so that has been way cool.
In the past week I think I have counted:
10 frog kicks
2,768 alternating leg stretches
20 hand waves
2 hiccups
87 rib kicks
=)

We also got to see her (briefly) in 3-d last week. She was pretty shy but it was fun to see what we were able to see. She only showed about half her face at a time but we could see a very active mouth and some little eye lashes. Also looks like she is getting some round cheeks already!
On other fronts, ankles have started to swell so I have been trying to consume amazing amounts of water!

27 weeks

Here we are at 27 weeks (+1 day). Made the mistake today of eating a whole chimichanga at On The Border. Forgot how little room my stomach has to expand. Not dealing with heartburn or indigestion but with difficulty breathing since my stomach is now pushing on my lungs. HA! Oh well, I will just have to lay down for the evening.
Love you all!

Oh yeah we also created our registry yesterday at www.babiesrus.com.

25 weeks!

Had a checkup last week and everything is looking good. We'll get our 3-D ultrasound at the next appointment so that is pretty cool!
Here is me at 25 weeks! I honestly feel like my belly hasn't grown at all in the past few months but my ribs and clothes tell me otherwise! :)

19 weeks + 1 day

Ok seriously did not think it would be this long between posts. Sorry pals!
Here is the latest and greatest. The bump is moving higher and getting more round (I think)! Also, had to take out the belly ring this weekend. The thing looked like it was about to rip out of my skin.Also, I sewed a bunch more diapers over Christmas break but I still have tons more to go. :) We find out Thursday if it is a boy or girl so stay tuned! Then we get to do the fun task of registering. Oh joy! :)
Also, haven't had any nausea for quite some time but just had a few random gags from the dog food smell. That is the only thing that has consistently made me gag but only a few times I actually lost it. TMI-I know!

16 weeks=4 months

=I look pregnant. Kind of. :)

This is what happens when your husband is like twice as tall as you, all the pictures look like someone stood on a chair!

All is well with the babe, we got to hear the heartbeat last week and of course that was magical. We go for another ultrasound on January 8 to find out the gender!

14 weeks

I think I will take the rest of the weekly shots in this format. Wet hair, no makeup, let the camera cover my face and there you have it. ;) Just kidding. Sorry, Mom!

It's a snow day here people! It has been snowing all morning and I don't know when it is going to stop. Josh is at work and here I am trying to photograph myself and this sweet little baby that is growing ever so quickly!

This was the night before, I don't know how the bump looks so huge here but maybe I needed to go to the bathroom or something. =) We went to see The Nutcracker. It was very fun.

Have a blessed day! Thank you for your prayers.

We heard a lovely little heartbeat yesterday! And got to see the little monkey waving their arms around! What a refreshing and amazing thing to see! God surely is an awesome Creator. I don't know how anyone could think otherwise.

Well, the belly is starting to pop out. It is harder and harder to suck it in each day. Actually I've stopped trying to suck it in. :) No nausea today, maybe it is done!

Props to the Bella Band. Actually, praise God for the creaters of Bella Band because now I don't have to put on gym pants every night as soon as I get home from work. The Bella Band lets my pants still fit without having to spend an arm and a leg to get new clothes right now!

Here is a picture of the little belly.
