33 weeks and change

Time is continuing to swim along quickly. We are done painting the nursery (Yay! Thanks Kevin!). It looks very nice.

The furniture is all put in and it's mainly decorated. I will post pictures once we have the last few items in place (a glider, curtains). I think it's going to look great and it's so nice to have it all nearly done.

Next week I have another round of baby doctor appointments, including another ultrasound. I am excited to see Finn and to hear where he is, size wise.

Stay tuned...

Only eight more weeks!

I had an absolutely lovely time at my shower. It was so nice to see some of my very favorite people, especially those I hadn't seen in ages.

Plus we got lovely, love gifts for Finn, which I really appreciated.

Here are some photos:



Kevin and I are now trying to get anything that falls under the "must have before the baby arrives" banner. Painting on the nursery is still continuing, and I have faith that soon it will be done and we can put everything away.

I am now 32 weeks. The rest of the pregnancy both seems too long (I am not feeling well and am looking forward to not having my giant belly) and way too short (I can't believe that in only eight weeks I will have an actual baby!)

29 weeks

We got to have another ultrasound on Wednesday and this time even got to see Finn in 3-D. Very cool.

Here is the picture from it:

He is doing well and is already three pounds.

It is hard for me to imagine both him and I being 11 weeks bigger than we are right now, but it is so nice to hear that everything is going well with him.

27 weeks pregnant

I am now in my third trimester. It seems some days like December 3rd will never get here, but I am sure it will come before I know it.

We are slowly trying to get things ready and I am very much looking forward to my shower in DC at the end of the month.

I am still feeling okay, but I am starting to get more tired and achey and big!

Baby decorating

We've picked our nursery bedding!

We are going to use Nojo's Day at the Zoo, which looks like this:


I am excited to order it and to be able to start organizing and painting the nursery.

We have also finally registered, for those of you who are dying to start buying us many, many baby gifts. We are registered at Babies R Us. So fun.

It's a boy!

I went to the specialist yesterday and got to see the baby on the ultrasound for close to twenty minutes. It was great! And...we're having a boy!

Kevin and I are very excited.

He is looking healthy and big already. I got to watch him move all around and it was lovely to see.

The second trimester is a miracle

After all my complaining about my pregnancy misery, I am offically feeling 100% better.

I can eat - and boy, do I. I am hungry all the time now and everything looks good (although meat and vegetables and I are still having our difficulties - this baby is consuming a lot of cheese).

And I am actually able to leave the house and do things like run errands and go to the gym.

It is a happy time.

An approximation of me, now that I'm in my second trimester.

Maternity clothes transition

I am officially starting to wear maternity clothes.

I can still (barely) get my formerly too big pants buttoned, but it's being increasingly less comfortable.

I have ordered a couple of items off of the Internet and yesterday Kevin and I did our first maternity clothes shop. I am trying to get multi-purpose items that I can wear for a while, we will see how that works.

I am much more comfortable with the change to maternity bottoms. Such is the exciting life of a pregnant girl!

Happy Mother To Be Day !

Happy Birthday Austin! Love, L.

I know we all wish Austin the Happiest of Birthdays ! xoxoxoxo

Babies on the brain

It's true I think about LP (litle peanut) quite often. But it's hard to avoid seeing as how I constantly want to vomit. It's easy to remember that I'm either sick or host to the Worst. Parasite. Ever. Thanks LP, you're doing a good job staying on my mind.
