Prepping for Baby!

Well, I am pregnant! Have been for 7 months, and we are expecting on February 25, 2013. We are going to have a beautiful baby girl joining our family and we are oh so excited!

June 17, 2012

Since I haven't done anything for the longest time, I will just do a little recap:

We found out that we were pregnant on June 17, Fathers day and Mark's Birthday.  Our families found out a little while later, except for my brother, Alex who only just found out on October 24 when he came home from his mission.

We found out that we were having a baby girl in October, and announced it at a cupcake party with a few friends and family. (In the yellow sweatshirt--I had just finished playing a volleyball game with a few friends from work) This is me on the night that we found out that our baby was going to be a girl! I am 19 1/2 weeks along, hardly showing at all.


The pictures taken in the red shirt are from when I was about 20 weeks, still just a little baby bump showing.

At 20 weeks I had only gained 7 pounds, and now at 30 weeks, I am up 20 pounds. Baby girl has really been growing so fast! I can feel her move and jump around all the time. She usually moves the most when it is about lunch time and I am sitting at my office desk and trying to get close to the keyboard--then she will throw a few jabs upwards into my ribs. She sure is getting strong!

I also made this paper chain to count down the days till Baby Girl arrives. I think it was close to 150 chain links long, looping around the bedroom. Now we are down to two loops!

Other than that, Mark and I have finished our "Prepared Childbirth" class and so now all we have to do is make sure that we are ready for the big day in 10 weeks! It is so exciting, but man am I getting nervous and anxious for that day to come!
