23 Weeks!

I really can’t believe how fast time is flying now. 23 weeks already?! Wow. She’ll be here before we know it!

So, these pictures were taken last week, and tomorrow is technically 24 weeks, but I didn’t want to miss posting these.

Getting bigger!

Me and dad in front of the tree at their house. 

We’re just days away from Christmas and I’m happy to say that I’ve got all my decorating, shopping, sewing, and wrapping done. Finally. YAY! All that’s left is the baking!

I’m excited for Christmas this year. My nephew Hayden is about 11 months old, and this (of course) will be his first Christmas. I can’t wait to watch the mayhem that ensues when they put him in front of the presents and let him go at it!! :) Hopefully we’ll have some more good pictures to post soon!

 

Baby Pictures!

I finally got around to taking some still shots of the ultrasound DVD they gave us at the doctor’s office a few weeks ago, and here they are! Enjoy our baby's first "pictures"!

In this first one her hand is up by her head, so it looks like she’s got a little Mohawk! But it’s just her fingers.

Here’s the one the tech said was like “she’s sitting on a copy machine”. She looked for a long time and was very confident the baby is a girl. Rob suspected that was the case all along! Hopefully she’ll forgive me later for posting this one.

Now we just need a name… Any suggestions?? :)

Also, today marks 22 weeks! I have had a terrible head cold all week, so no pictures of the tummy to share. But here’s where the punkin is:

22 weeks, a spaghetti squash! WOW!

I’ve been feeling kicks a lot more regularly than I had before, which does wonders to ease a worrying mind (which I always seem to have lately). I can’t wait to meet her!

This weekend I’m hoping to get started on my Christmas baking and get my Christmas cards sent out. Here’s to hoping I get it all done!!

Have a great week everyone!

Today

Have you ever had that “stuck-in-a-rut” feeling, like you’ve been doing the same thing for too many days in a row and you just need a change? Me too!

Today I got the chance to go with my mom to get out of the house and do a little Christmas shopping. We had a great time! We got a little of this, and a little of that, and I was able to cross a few things off my Christmas gift list.

We also stopped in the maternity section at Kohls, and I ended up with these (thanks, mom!):

GREATEST MATERNITY PANTS EVER. And they’re corduroys, who would have thought?! I’ve never owned a pair of cords that I can remember, but I’m telling you now, if you don’t have some, YOU NEED SOME. They are fantastic!

Also, my Dad had picked out a shirt for a Christmas present, but somehow it ended up as a Happy New Shirt present for me today instead. See?

It’s a great shirt! Very comfy, and the sleeves actually fit my too-long ape arms. I think I need about 17 more of these!

So, a nice day out and a few new clothes can really make a difference. I feel great today! I’m feeling the baby kick here and there also, which is just about the greatest thing ever. :)

How was your day today?
