32 Weeks

Here is a picture of me at 32 weeks. I have been sick with a cold/virus for about 2 weeks now. On Friday, my doctor put me on an antibiotic because it wasn't getting better and we didn't want it to turn into something worse. I am feeling much better now that I've been on the medicine for 4 days. Other than that, I'm feeling great! I haven't lost all of my energy yet but have found it difficult to pick things up off the floor or tie my shoes. Luckily, I live in Florida and I usually wear sandals! :-) I went to the doctor on Tuesday and everything looked great. We found out how the baby is positioned and felt the baby's head...which has turned into the correct position instead of being breached! YEAH!! I have another appointment on April 7th and then I start my weekly appointments. Less than 7 weeks left to go!!!

My spring break started on Friday. I have a list of things that I want to get done now so that I don't have to do it later while I'm working. My Mom and sister come down on Thursday to help paint the nursery and attend a shower with my friends. I'm looking forward to some girl bonding time and hopefully some relaxing in there somewhere.

Work Baby Shower

My school had a shower for me in early March. It was a joint shower with another co-worker who is due 9 days after me. It was a lot of fun and we were blessed with many wonderful gifts from very generous friends. Here are some pictures from the shower.

Nursery

The nursery is slowly coming together. My Aunt Judy made a valance that will match all of the bedding. My Aunt Faith is busy working on the quilt and then my Mom is making the bumper and skirt. Our nursery colors are teal and chocolate and we plan on painting the walls in April when my sister comes down for a visit.

Here are a few pictures of the valance up in the nursery. We absolutely love it and can't wait to have the walls painted to match it. :-) Thank you Judy!!!

Our crib is almost finished!!! My Dad has been busy building the crib since we first announced that we were expecting. He finished cutting everything out this week and has put it all together. Here are a few pictures of him with the crib. I can't believe he made this! He is so talented!! :-) Now he just has to stain it. We have chosen a darker stain that is similar to a dark brown so that it will match the bedding. He will bring the crib down to Florida when they come in May for our babies birth! I hope you all enjoy the pictures.

28 Weeks

So, I've been really bad at getting updates on here but I'll try to get better now that I'm getting big. This picture is of me at 28 weeks.

I am feeling good. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and he said that everything looks good and the baby is doing great. Curt and I are starting to get the nursery ready since we only have 12 weeks left before the baby arrives. We are very excited. We have decided on a boy and girls name but have decided that we are not going to tell anyone until the baby gets here. :-) Sorry for those of you who really wanted to know. This baby is just one big surprise!!!

Well, that's all for now...Happy Valentine's Day!

20 Week Ultrasound

OUR LITTLE BABY

I had my 20 week ultrasound today. It went very well. It was so exciting to see the baby moving around. The technician had some difficulty getting good pictures because our little baby is breached. It's feet are up by the hands which made it very difficult to get some good pictures. We did not find out what we are having! It will be a surprise to all! :-) Everything looked good though and the due date is still May 16, 2008! Here are some of the pictures that we got to take home. We hope that you can tell what they are.

This is the baby's foot.

This is another profile picture.

This is a profile picture but you can see the nose, lips, and chin. That is what the 3 arrows are pointing to.

Our Other Baby - Shadow

Shadow was so excited to see us on New Years Day! Here are just a few pictures of her.

She's so tired!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Well, we have finally made it back to Florida. It was a very interesting trip with all of the travel problems but we had a great time while in Wisconsin. Here are a few pictures from the trip. We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Dad showing us how our crib gets put together. He has done an excellent job so far!

Thanks Dad!!!

Merry Christmas from Detroit

Merry Christmas Everyone! Curt and I are in the process of traveling to WI but have gotten stuck in Detroit due to a snow storm. I was going to upload a few pictures of us but realized that our memory stick doesn't fit in our computer. OOPS I will upload pictures later this week. Curt and I both wish you a Merry Christmas and hope to see most of you very soon.

My First Trimester - 12 Weeks

My cousin Christie came down for a weekend visit. We had a great time. We had a fun-filled weekend that included a trip to the beach and to the most magical place on earth, Walt-Disney World! I am feeling great. My nausea magically went away at 12 weeks which was honestly, a miracle. Here are a few pictures that we took at the beach.
