I'm growing!

Just thought I would share an updated picture. This is me at 24 weeks (that's 6 months for those of you who don't speak in weeks) :)

Christmas in September

When we got home on Wednesday, we had all kinds of fun things waiting for us. Our crib had arrived as well as our new video camera that we bought to capture all of baby girls first moments. Also, the title to my car came in the mail. I am trying to sell my car but had lost the title and had to apply for another one. So, we got the crib put together and played with the new video camera. Then, on Thursday, our dresser/changer combo arrived for us to pick up at the store. I had an OB-GYN appointment at 1:30 (everything is still looking great), then I went home and slept until Aaron got home from work (I've been sick the last couple of days). When Aaron got home, we went and picked up the dresser and brought it home and put it together (not an easy task, the instructions for it were horrible). So, baby's room is ready for her. We still have a lot of finishing touches to add, but the painting is done and the furniture is in.

It is FINISHED!!!

I finally finished painting the border in baby's nursery (it took me a week). So, here are the finished pictures of the painted nursery. The pictures don't totally do it justice, it is much cuter in person. :) The last picture shows the curtain that has the same design as the border that I painted. Our baby furniture should be here in a week or so, and then baby's room will pretty much be ready for her.

The Nursery

We used Labor Day to start painting baby's room. It had to be cleaned out first (we had so much junk in there). The painting is a work in progress but it is coming along nicely. So, here are a few before pictures and midway through pictures. I will post after pictures once it is all done. Aaron was really cute and painted her initials on the wall when he was just beginning the painting. So, hopefully we don't change our minds on what to name her once she is born. I can't believe we have just about 4 months left until the big day!

We're on team.....

PINK!

We found out today that we are having a baby girl. It was amazing to see her moving around in there....she is a wiggle worm. But luckily, the ultrasound tech was able to see everything she needed to see and determine that baby girl is as healthy as she could be. Needless to say, Aaron and I are very excited! We don't have to call her "it" anymore!

So, here are some pictures of baby girl. There are a couple of her profile. One is her big yawn. One is her scary skeleton face. One is her hoo-ha. One is of her foot and one is of her leg. We know it's a lot of pictures, but we want to show off our little baby girl.

Here I am Daddy

Aaron was able to feel Baby move for the first time last night. It was really exciting. I had been feeling little movements for about a week or so (although at first, I wasn't sure if it was baby moving or something else going on it there). The movements had been really sporadic and they never happened at night so Aaron could feel them.
Last night, as we were lying in bed talking before going to sleep, baby started moving like crazy. So, I put Aaron's hand on my tummy and after a few minutes, he started to feel them. It was just an amazing thing.

Everything is going GREAT

I had another doctor's appointment today and everything is still looking wonderful. Baby's heartbeat is a healthy 156 bpm. We got to schedule our big ultrasound for August 16th. We can't wait to find out if it is a little prince or princess in there.
