9 more Weeks....

This picture was taken last Thursday at my friend Heather's wedding. I think you can see that I'm growing!

Dan is trying to give you an idea of where the baby is. :)Isn't it funny how depending on what I wear I look different. I guess that is true even when you are not pregnant. Here are some of the cute things from my coworkers! Super Cute!
I can't wait to see the little guy in them!


Wow! A little less than 9 more weeks to go. It is so crazy! People tell me all the time that I'm too small to be that far along, but I sure don't feel too small. I'll try to get Dan to take a good picture of the "baby" this weekend to show you all. Things are going great still! My feet are starting to swell and I can't wear my wedding ring anymore, but that is really it. Besides the very normal awkwardness and waddling at times. :) The baby's heart rate is good and I feel him very often. We went to see Indian Jones yesterday and he was very active during the movie.

Last week my office threw us a shower. It was very nice! Dan and I had a great time visiting with everyone. We also ate some really good food too! Not to mention that they are all very generous! Thank you! We got some great practical items like the pack and play, floppy seat( for grocery carts and high chairs), a tummy time mat, and thermometer; as well as some super cute outfits! Thank you so much to everyone for our thoughtfulness!

Our next Midwife appointment is Tuesday. I see her every other week until the beginning of July. Then it is once a week. It's so exciting.

May 10th Ultrasound

The ultrasound pics shown are in 3D/4D. Don't be alarmed at some of the distortions. Some of the bumps are from the sound waves hitting the amniotic fluid. Crazy! Other shiny areas on his legs and head are from the sound hitting his bone. It's all amazing. I can't believe how much detail you really can see! It's so fun!

3rd Trimester Here We Come!


Super Cute and Tasty pretzel sticks!
Super creative and tasty cupcakes!
Thanks Ladies for a great shower!

It's hard to believe that we are already 7 months! I am now seeing the doctor every other week. I had my first 3rd trimester appointment last week and had some lab work done. After multiple blood draws, 2 glucose drinks and atleast 4 hours of fasting I only need to take iron twice a day. That is in addition to the prenatal vitamins I am already taking. All is good with me and the baby. We are very thankful that everything is going so well.

On Saturday we had another ultrasound with both of our families! It was a great mothers day gift! :) It was lots of fun to see the little guy again. He has gotten so big! There are a few 2D ultrasound pics that I don't have on the computer yet, but I will try to get them up this week. They are super cute! For now, I have the 3D/4D pics that were taken. We also have a 20 minute DVD of the entire ultrasound session. I'm going to try to figure out a way to get a little clip up on the blog. Grandpa Bill says it's possible. I'll work on it this week in between working and napping. :)

The pictures above are from a shower that my friends threw me! It was super cute and lots of fun! I loved the safari theme. :)
