"Wow. You look PREGO today!"~ Lee xoxo

And a view from the front!

25 weeks...

Baby girl is active!!!  Movin' and groovin' like crazy!  It's pretty cool, although every time daddy puts his hands on my belly to feel... she stops!  It's like she is messing with him on purpose! hahaha  I'm still in an Aqua Natal class 3x a week, and loving it!  It's been a great way for me to keep active!  Although the swimsuit has definitely been fitting differently each week!  ha!  My belly button is still doing it's thing... Nursery is still in the "visionary stage", but will hopefully become a reality this next month!  So excited to start organizing all the rad outfits our friends and family have already started giving us!  Going to be a stylish girl!  Duh.  :)

And I had to post a pic of another one of my loves... you should try them!!!!

Happy Easter!

This is me trying to deal with my ever changing belly button!!!  (It was hard to color in the eye balls as it was too close for comfort!)  Happy Easter everyone!!!

A grocery store "moment"...

So, I was at the grocery store on Tuesday afternoon to get my PUFFINS Peanut Butter cereal (that I HAVE to eat every morning).  Well... THEY WERE ALL GONE!!!  So I was freaking out, pacing the cereal aisle.  Contemplating getting Captain Crunch peanut butter cereal (as it isn't as "natural"/"healthy"), when a random lady says to me, "So... you're craving peanut butter cereal, eh?  I did too, when I was pregnant."  It was funny, but also very cool, as she was the first "stranger" to notice I was actually pregnant and not just a fat kid.  I smiled the whole drive home!  :)

24 weeks... 6 months!!!!

Can't believe it!!!  I am 6 months!  Holy crap!  Things are great!  Except for my disgusting belly button which is starting to creep out!  I hate belly buttons in general, so this is creepy!!!  :)  I guess it means I am growing!  I like getting fatter and fatter!  It's fun!  Baby Berken is getting bigger every day!  She is moving a lot, especially at night!  Lee is still waiting to feel it from the outside... We can't wait for that!  We were finishing up our registering at Babies R Us yesterday and we saw this cute outfit that said, "Daddy's Little Girl"... lets just say Lee's eyes were a little "misty"....  I love him so much and I am so excited for our baby girl to join our family!

( Happy Birthday to Grandpa (Brent) Kaczmarek today, also!)

Nursery Update!

Dr. Seuss (as much as I love him) is OUT.  Chocolate, sage, light pink & white is IN.

Fun stuff...

Daddy joined baby and me for our Aqua Natal swim class on Friday!  It was "labor coach" day!  It was super fun!  Lee did pretty well... had some trouble with some of the moves, but it was a blast!  Funny stuff!


We are hoping baby girl lets us go to see My Morning Jacket at Red Rocks this summer... 1st row!!!!! I am considered Mobility Impaired!  :)   Only thing is... the show is 4 days before our due date!  We'll see!!!

(Happy Birthday to Uncle Graham today, also!!!)

CLUMSY!

SO, I thought I was clumsy before... well, this is a whole new level of clumsy!!!  Since I have been pregnant, I have broken numerous glass jars, knocked down shelves, ripped off a towel rack, bruised my wrist (yes, my wrist), banged my elbows & knees 100's of times on doors, dressers & desks, banged my head on the bathroom vanity door (more than a few times!)...  just to name a few!  Geez!!!  hahaha

23 weeks...

Today someone who doesn't even know me said, "Congratulations, when are you due?"  Awesome!  I guess I look pregnant!  I am feeling good.  Excited to be growing... Feeling blessed every day!

(Have I mentioned, I LOOOOOOVE peanut butter?!?!?!?!?!?!)

An updated picture of our baby girl at 22 weeks and 5 days... Cute little profile!!! She even has her far hand up by her mouth!  Cute!  She weighed 1 lb. 3 oz.!

Cool Whip.  mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

22 weeks...

Baby girl has been moving around like crazy!!!!  It is sooooooo cool!  Wasn't 100% sure at first, but after a Dr. appointment today and reassurance, that is exactly what it is!!!!  AMAZING!

Mommy's total weight gain since day one:  15lbs
Daddy's: 10lbs 

 I love my man!  He eats what I want, when I want it, with me!!! (hahaha)

Dear baby girl,

I am sooooo sorry.  I sold the VW Bug last night.  I remember being upset with your grandma & grandpa when I saw pictures of their VW Thing and realized they had sold it and didn't save it for me!  Well, I just did that same thing.  I really didn't want to, as it was a surprise birthday gift from your daddy 10 years ago!  But we knew someone else could take better care of her (Stella Blue).  Someone with a garage!  A driveway even!  (We have neither at our house right now, just street parking!)  I PROMISE to buy you nice things with the money I made and I also promise to hold your daddy to his promise of getting us a VW Bus one day to go camping in with your huge puppy Axl!  I love you so much already and I hope you will forgive me!  :)

(your grandma Kaczmarek, said you may not even like VWs, but prefer some expensive, fancy car!  and then she laughed!  silly grandma!  must of been an April Fools joke!!!)


Love,

Your mommy
