34 weeks...


Still growing!  This baby girl is so unbelievably active, it is craziness!  Lee and I sit and watch my belly for long periods of time in the morning, in the afternoon and especially at night!  Some pretty huge movement, kicking, stretching, punching, dancing, who knows... I feel like I am scolding her to go to bed, like she is 3!  Momma needs some down time!  Ha!  :)

When I say aloud that we only have 6 weeks to go, it is freaky and exciting!  So much to do still... whoa!  This little peanut is on her way!!!  And who knows if she will wait the full 6 weeks?!

Side note~  I. AM. IN. LOVE. WITH. ICE CREAM.

Another side note~ Saw "jean diapers" and I think I need to get some before they are all gone!  I think they will sell like hot cakes and I want to get me some!

Beautiful shots by the wonderful Melanie Christensen!!!  An amazing women and mama who has this amazing talent on the side!  Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts!  What an amazing gift from you!  
We will cherish these forever!  



32 weeks...

(Leah, you made the blog!)

Most of my 32nd week was spent traveling in Wisconsin!  Green Bay, Milwaukee & Madison.  It was a long uncomfortable drive to and fro, but so well worth it!  The baby shower MK & Johnny B. put together for us at their cottage on the bay, was amazing!  So many family and friends and so much outpouring of love and support!  I have no words to thank them for such a perfect shower and also no words to express how thankful we are for all of our family and friends coming to share in this experience!

We saw so many important people in our lives, some who we haven't seen in way too long!  We ate a lot of amazing Wisconsin food (very healthy, of course) and had sooooooo much fun.  I am so thankful for all of these people in our lives and am so grateful we had this week long vacation before the baby is born!

(We had lovely baby belly pictures taken by Melanie, and I hope to post them soon for you all to see!  We can not begin to express to her how thankful and impressed we are!  The pictures are better then ever expected!  Thank you!!!)

The cherry on top of it all is we saw My Morning Jacket (our favorite band) in Milwaukee, and met the lead singer, Jim James!  It was a magical moment for us and the babe!

Almost 33 weeks, and creeping closer to that August 8th due date!  Ahhhhhhh!

XOXOXO

Crazy cool!!!

OMG, I just saw a body part cruise across my belly!  From one side to the other! Lots of punches & kicks too!  This past 15 minutes has been so cool!  I can not believe what I am watching!!!  She's definitely throwing some sort of dance party in there... wow!  It is amazing!

Seeing movement!!!

During our birthing class last night, we got to SEE some major kicks from our baby girl!  This is the first time we have seen/noticed this!  It was so cool!  We were giggling hysterically while we were supposed to be quiet, but it was just so amazing!!!  Seeing you belly move is pretty crazy!


We also had a Dr. appt. yesterday and all is good!  I measure good, weigh good and baby's heartbeat is good!  As usual, while listening to her heartbeat she was moving around like crazy.  She is definitely a busy girl in there!
