Some Recent Happenings

Piper's dress for Easter, I was afraid that if she decided to not cooperate again I could possibly lose my chance to shop for her before she's born, so I made the most of yesterday. Just 1 of the outfits I bought her, but my this is my favorite!!!!!

Poppa holding Rylee, can't believe she's already over 3 months old. The time has gone by so fast, I just love going to my mom and dad's and holding her!!!!! She's just sooo cute, and she makes me even more excited and anxious for Piper's arrival!!!!

Carter is definately my brother's son, there is just no mistaking it!!!! He is just nonstop bundle of energy and Poppa's favorite buddy. He just found my mom's stand that used to be her dad's. It still has some of his old glasses in it and Carter thought he'd try on for size!!!! Think he still has some growing to do!!

Piper's bookcase, which I put together myself, thank you very much!!!! I wanted to make sure I got a picture of it looking nice now because I know once she starts crawling it won't look like this again!!!!

We finally got our crib, (thanks mom #2, she wonderful!!!) and Kurt got it all put together the same night we brought it home!!!!! I got the mattress for it yesterday when I went shopping so now that's done!!!! Think we most of the things we are going to need right away for Piper's arrival, hopefully although I'm sure I've missed a few things, I've got her carseat so I can bring her home, that's the most important!!!!

Yesterday (February 5th) I had my drs. appointment and I mentioned that baby girl hasn't been moving as much as I had noticed before, so lucky me I got hooked up to the monitors and has to spend an extra hour at the drs. Luckily the dr. said she didn't see anything bad, her heart rate was good she just wasn't seeing a change like she wanted to, that indicates that baby girl was moving around. I was starting to get a little nervous and was wondering who I should bother at work first my mom or my hubby?? The dr. was going to send me to get lunch and then over to the hospital to be hooked up to the monitors there and have some fancy ultrasound and baby girl decided to give a little kick so everyone would stop talking about her!!! I now have to make time everyday to lay down at different time throughout the day and count how many times she moves in an hour, if it's less then 10 back to the drs. or off to the hospital we go!!! I was so thankful that nothing seems to be seriously wrong that maybe she just has a little of my attitude that I wanted to share a few of my favorite things lately!!!

"Baby Shower"

On Saturday, January 16th, my mom, my sis-in-law Brittany, and Jeremy's girlfriend Cindy threw me the nicest baby shower at Katie and Karl's (same place as our wedding reception)!!! My cousin Chad's girl's Emily and Abby helped hand out the presents to me and my cousin Jolynn's little on Hannah helped me to unwrap!!

Hannah really wanted to open the aqaurium that Piper got my Kurt's sisters!!!

Me and my sisters!!! Starting on the left, Katherine, me, Jen and in front Rebecca, Rachel and Laura!! Lots of aunties to baby sit!!

Piper's closet full of clothes!!!! I think she's set for a while, and this isn't even all of them, my mom still has some outfits for her and I still have to get her a dress for Easter!!! Although I think she'll be set for a few months til summer arrives, don't you??!!

My cousin Phoebe picked out the cutest sneakers for her!!! I can't wait to put them on her!!!

And boots for what little winter will still be left hanging around after she's born!!!

Last but not least the shower cake!!! It was sooo yummy!!!!

27 weeks and counting!!

This is a 3D photo of baby!! So very cool, it didn't come out that great because baby had his/her self smushed into my left side so it was hard to get a good picture!! If those cheeks are any indication baby is going to look like daddy!!!

Baby profile!!!!

Not only was baby squished into a small space on my left side, baby had his/her foot over his/her head!!! Talk about a flexiable baby!!! Is this a hint that gymnastics classes may be inour future???

25 weeks and counting!!!

Well on Thursday, December 3rd, I was 25 weeks pregnant, and loving almost every minute of it. There are a few things that I don't love as much, like having to pee every time I stand up, the constant heartburn I see to be fighting, I thinking that tums count as a food group now, and it becoming increasing difficult to bend over to put my socks on and get comfortable at night. So if you see me bare foot and sleep deprived in the middle of winter now you know why. Sunday night, December 6th, we experience another milestone in the pregancy that make everything soo worth it. After all the hooting and hollering that went on in our house over a Giants win, the baby decided to kick (which I've been feeling since Oct 22nd) and this time he/she made my belly really move and Kurt got to see and feel it for the 1st time. It is just so unbelievablely cool to lay on the couch and watch my belly make these weird little jumps and be able to put my hand their and feel it too. Kurt loved it and thought it was very cool!!! Despite what sounds like a lot of whining on my part, I've just love being pregnant and am looking forward to the next 15 weeks as we patiently wait the arrival of our sweet baby!!!!
