Mirror Mirror on the Wall... Who's got the biggest belly of all?

I do! Well, at least I feel like I do. Here is the latest picture. I don't look the greatest but at least you can see how huge I'm getting. I hit 36 weeks yesterday, so only about 4 weeks to go... YAY!!!

50 Days!!!

50 days!!! 50 days!!! I know I keep say this but... I can't believe it! People told me three weeks ago that the last 10 weeks drag by and it feels like it takes forever... blah blah blah! I feel like this whole pregnancy has flown by so fast. It feels like just a couple weeks ago I was telling people that we were pregnant and now we only have 7 weeks to go! I'm sure the closer I get to the due date and the more uncomfortable I get, the slower it will go for me but as for now (most days anyway) I feel like it's all a whirl wind.

Last weekend we went to Anchorage and came home with so much stuff!!! It is all still in boxes around our house but hopefully will be set up and in place by the end of this weekend. If the baby's room is done or at least to the point where it is presentable, I'll try to get some pictures to post.

Last night we had our second childbirth class and I am really enjoying it. It is nice to have some form of education as to what to expect. I've been reading a lot but for me, it is really nice to hear someone talk about it. Last night was particularly fun because Brian got to wear the empathy belly. That was hilarious!!! I wish I had taken my camera, but I didn't so you'll just have to use your imaginations.

I sure can't wait to meet our son!!!

My Kitties

Moo and Midnight are such sweets cats! They have been our babies for the last three years and they really don't understand what is about to happen to their peaceful little world! I just had to share these pictures...

Since they were kittens they've liked to sleep on the heater. They used to be able to fit on the top together, now... not so much. I guess Moo thought is was her turn on the heater:)

Moo is not usually the cuddle bug you'll find on Brian's lap but yesterday she apparently needed some "daddy time"

Watching the football game on Sunday afternoon.Midnight, who is normally sitting with Brian, was pouting I think...

New Belly Picture

I don't have much to report other than the fact that I only have TWO months to go!!! I finally remembered to have Brian take a belly picture last night but they just were not coming out right. So, I decided to try to take one of myself this morning. Believe it or not, this is the best picture including the ones from last night.

So, there you have it... my ever growing belly! I get really excited thinking about holding my sweet baby boy in just a couple months. I still freak out (a lot) thinking about all the things we have to get done before his arrival but Brian is so good at calming me down and talking some sense into me. He is so good to me... I think that's why I married him :)

Happy New Year!

I really don't have any New Year's resolutions to make but WOW! 2009 is definitely going to be a year full of new adventures! Brian and I are going to learn so much in the coming months! I think the ticker seems to be moving very quickly these days... 78 days!!! I really can't believe how fast this is all going. We have 11 weeks to go as of tomorrow (to the due date anyway). Brian has started working in the baby's room and this weekend, hopefully, he will have it ready for a crib and decorations. He has ripped up carpet and taken down closet doors and shelves and is painting... it was a mess. After it's all done, I will post the before and after pictures.

As for the baby... he's doing great! I'm feeling him move more and more each day and he is definitely getting stronger and stronger=). We have another appointment on the 8th and we will start childbirth classes on the 13th or the 20th.

Brian and I are doing well also. Brian is still working hard everyday and spends most of the day outside... I really don't know how he does it! He was outside all day yesterday and it was only 3 degrees (not including wind chill). BURRRR!!! Praise the Lord he is getting another four day weekend this weekend!

For unto you

is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!

It's a....

BOY!!!

We had another appointment yesterday and thanks to a cancellation in the dr's schedule we were able to do the ultrasound last night. I apologize for not posting pictures but my placenta is in front of the baby and the face pictures didn't come out very clear. Everything looked great with the baby! It was such a blessing to hear the dr say, "that looks good, that looks normal..." Since I don't have any ultrasound pictures for you I will just post a couple pictures from Thanksgiving Day. The first picture is everyone that was at the ultrasound last night, except Brian's mom (because she is in Kentucky).
