32 weeks

Spring is here and we took a nice little walk outside at a nearby canyon, Blodgett. We didn't go far but it was nice to get out and hike around on the rocks.

This past weekend we have continued with the de-clutter of our house. I have spent a lot of time on the floor sorting through photos and papers, whew.

Nate is working on sanding and then finishing our dresser for the baby's room. It looks really nice!

A co-worker has offered to take some pregnancy photos so this week we will be taking those outside hopefully. I'll post em later. Hope everyone is warming up! Happy spring!

Moving right along

30 weeks below and 31 weeks far left

Ok so it seems I make time about every two weeks to write a post on my blog. Well better than no post at all I suppose! The last couple weeks have been extremely busy and exciting. Last weekend we drove over to Idaho to attend a birth class with Terri. We learned many coping techniques with lots of practice and had a great time. It was very educational but also a nice time to connect on the same level with Nate. After the class on saturday we celebrated my birthday with my family and Nate's parents who had traveled up from WY to spend Sonya's spring break with us. The whole entire weekend was all "baby"! Sunday we attended the baby fair in Spokane and then shopped around at a few stores that we do not have access to here in MT. It was really fun being able to pick out crib set with both mothers! This past week Nate's parents helped us out alot by painting the extra bedroom, finding a dresser, and sorting many different things that needed a new home. It was a great help and we will continue to sort until everything has a new home. As I type this Nate is still sanding the dresser that was found at the local flee market, it was an awful pea green and was discovered that it's made out of maple wood so they decided to refinish instead of re-paint. Great find, but alot more work to re-finish, but the end prodcut will look really nice.

Baby is grow very fast lately, head is currently positioned downward and so I get lots of kicks and or hand movement up high. I really enjoy all the movement, so much fun! Baby also likes the "Indigo Girls" we went to their concert this week and baby danced the whole time!

Here are the latest photos, I get a lot of "oh you're so tiny" although I feel big enough and my midwife assured me that I am measuring Perfectly. Sorry formatting is not my friend on this site. Plus our mouse is screwed up so i can't seem to put pictures where I want them to go!

29 weeks Pregnant on my 29th Birthday!

28 Weeks

29 Weeks

The last two weeks we have done alot of growing. These two pictures are deceiving because I think I look bigger in the 28 wk picture but I assure you that they are not mixed up. I think it's because my shirt is pulled lower on the 29 wk picture.

This week Chloe (cat) has learned how to sit next to me or fit on my lap without being on my belly. I think this concept is difficult for Phoebe so she sticks to Nate's lap most of the time.

Not sure how they will cope when baby is in our arms, they'll figure it out I'm sure. Here's a picture of Nate and Phoebe cuddling on the coach. Then Nate with all the pets surrounding him.

27 weeks

ah yep getting harder to bend over and tighten my ski boots :) but my ski jacket still fits and that's about the only one that does at this time. I will be skiing less downhill and maybe more crosscountry because our snow is so hard and icy, not fun.

The cats are both trying to fit on my lap lately and that just does not work! Not sure they get what is going on.

This next week I will be traveling to Virginia to see cousin Shanna! We might see if we can spot some whales that winter in the area.

We have begun the big chore of cleaning out the extra bedroom that will become babies room/guest bedroom. We already have lots of toys in the closet from friends. I am so blessed to know lots of moms in the area. I hope we can fit the crib, changing table, rocking chair and bed in the bedroom, we'll see!

Think I may have scared my midwife just a bit with this recent tattoo. I pulled up my shirt to listen to heart beat and she said "oh did you just get that?" haha does it really look real? funny.

I've had alot of nice comments from people this week. "oh you have really blossomed this week" and "you are soo cute!"

25 weeks

I thought I would include a picture with my everyday clothes so that you can see that I do look pregnant! haha.

First and very special baby sling

Here I am with my new gardening hat and baby sling from a special lady in Thailand! Not the best picture of the sling but it is beautiful. Can't wait to use it maybe in the garden?!
