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!"

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?!

My latest picture includes the first of many tattoos that Terri gave me for Christmas. I was disapointed when I forgot to put one on my belly for the ultrasound last week. I'll make sure to surprise my midwife at the next visit! I've included a few of my favorite ultrasound photos.

Busy growing a human

Hi all!

Here's pictures from week 23 we skipped week 22 because it was a busy work week and then we spent the weekend in West Yellowstone with Nate's parents. Sonya brought me the most amazing gift from Thailand a baby sling that she bought off of a local woman. It's beautiful and I can't wait to use the sling. I'll post a picture of the sling soon, Sonya did get a picture of the lady who made and used the sling so I am so excited to frame that photo.

We had our first official ultrasound last friday and everything looks great! Fluid levels are good and baby's measurements are right on track. The most amazing part of the ultrasound for me was to see the 4 chambers of the heart and see the valves moving blood throughout baby's body. I have two hearts right now! So fun. Last week sometime I was sitting at the piano and nate was on the coach and looked over at me and said, "you look pregnant". So I guess it's official to him I look pregnant, haha. I am working on making a list of items that friends have said that I can borrow or use for the baby. When that is complete then I hope to start a registry at Target. We have alot of organizing to do in this house but for the time being I am really enjoying my energy and playing out in the snow. So the organizing will just wait. We are contemplating moving into a larger house but that would mean we will have to find the perfect rental, so we'll see if that exist. Must have a tall fenced in yard for suga, spot for garden, 3+ bedrooms so we can have a seperate study/sewing room and ofcourse baby room and our bedroom. We'd love a dishwasher but not a requirement at this time, oh wait bottle washing is not going to be fun huh?
