Looks like we've made it!!!!


           I don't really have anything new to say, but that we've made it to 30 weeks!!!! This feels like such an accomplishment, yet at the same time a little anti-climactic. 30 weeks is almost ther, but yet still 10 weeks away. I keep reminding myself that it could be longer or shorter than 10 weeks and that is both exciting and terrifying at the same time. I'm ready to see her, hold her, cuddle her, feed, diaper, rock her to sleep, and all that other fun, and not so fun stuff. Then I look at what we still need to get for her, newborn clothes, blankets, binkies, and such and then I realize we're not ready at all.
           Also can I just say I wanted an October baby, but now that I'm getting a July baby and the heat is coming a little quicker than I had planned, I am more than pleased to be having a July baby. I sweat I am sweating like a sinner in church most of my day. I breathe and I get uncomfortable hot. I have a fan blowing on me in my air conditioned office at work, and I'm still warm. I don't know what I would do if I had to be hugely pregnant in August and September. So to you, my little perfect surprise baby, Thank you, I couldn't be more grateful we are getting you when we get you.

27w 5days


Baby girl is definitely growing, her kicks are very noticable now and my stomach is no longer "suck-in-able." (Not that it was before)
We are getting more and more anxious for her to be here! My body is starting to feel the aches and pains of carrying a baby and I'm getting a little bit more uncomfortable. We are actually now at 28 weeks 3 days. Getting so close, yet so far.
We are slowly, but surely getting things ready/bought for her. Actually we haven't bought much, everyone has been very nice and given us hand me downs. We finally have a place for her to sleep. A friend gave me her old bassinet, so she won't have to sleep in a dresser drawer or laundry basket!!!

We had our first baby shower and were spoiled rotten. Baby girl is going to be one chic dresser. We were down in Solvang for the weekend and let me tell you those ladies were very generous! We got a stroller car seat combo, can I tell you how real that makes this feel? I mean I know were having a baby, but it feels way more real when you finally realize she will be wearing these things, wrapped in these blankets, and sitting in that stroller. CRAZY!!!
