Almost baby time....




Well, I am now daring to post a photo of the bare belly bump at it's largest. I have been living at my Granny's pool on the weekend. It sure is nice to lose all that gravity and float the belly. Well here I am almost ready to pop. Pregnancy is the wildest experience of my life. Baby girl is doing great and has dropped. She is getting ready for the big day. Apparently, that requires many forceful kicks to the ribs. It is very strange to push a foot off your rib cage. Bazaar! I can't wait to meet her and DJ will be home in 13 days! When he gets here it will really set in that Baby Girl will be here any day. He might freak when he sees our apt. It looks like a baby store exploded in here. I don't think one more thing can fit. It definitely makes it all the more exciting.


HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, if you haven't heard yet---DJ'S GOING TO THE BIG LEAGUE'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He got the call on Thursday and will be working for 6 days starting Tuesday 6/10. He will spend 3 days in Oakland and 3 in Seattle. What a blessing just before our little blessing arrives!!!!


On the baby front, I start childbirth education classes at 9am tomorrow. Thanks goodness my wonderful mother has agreed to go with me. It should be informative from what I hear and any advice is welcomed.

Ahh....smell the roses...


or the little yellow field of flowers.
I had to post this pic of Big brother to be,
Stogey Bones.

While my Brother and Leigh were in town we found the largest and most
beautiful field of yellow flowers. Stogey was frolicking at the speed of lightening through them.

It was so adorable. Poor guy--I made him stop to pose for this picture. :)

31 week preggo maternity dress designer....



Well, here I am at 31 weeks preggo. This is Kelley and Tommy's Wedding day

and such a blast. I had to create my dress b/c maternity formal wear is soooo ugly! Luckily it worked out well and matched the other bridesmaids. Swoooh-what a relief. I had not seen the other dresses before I created this one.

Getting closer....

Well, last week I was feeling some pains and went to the Dr. I found out that I was having very mild contractions and have dilated 1 cm. I did not expect to hear that! It appears that I could be at the stage for quite a while. I did get another ultrasound out of the whole deal so that was exciting. Baby girl is measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule at 4lbs 9 oz. Also, we found out that she has a head full of hair. Something I never expected to hear as I was a baldy. DJ stated that he can't wait to style her hair like Pebbles Flintstone. Well, we are counting down the weeks now and can't hardly wait to meet her. Talk to everyone soon!!!

PASSED!

Well, I had to go for round 2 in testing for Gestational Diabetes and found out today I passed. One less thing to worry about. Especially after finding out during the first call that I had failed a portion and would have to come back for more testing. Thank goodness they called back and stated there was a mix up w/my blood work in the lab. All is good now! Well, baby girl is moving like crazy these days and I'm loving every second of it. I can't wait to meet her and it is only about 9 weeks away if everything goes according to schedule. My bro is in town this weekend and I can't wait to spend it w/him. DJ will be home one night next week. A long awaited return. Life is good. Happy Mommies day to all the Mothers out there. Talk to ya soon!

Well, here it is--The big belly bump and growing!



28 weeks preggo and growing
I can feel baby girl kicking me all the time now.
I received my first blow to the ribs last Friday. What a bizarre feeling!
I'm definitely hitting the stage where I want everything done and ready for the Baby. Although, there is no time to get things done right now. May is so jam packed w/fun things to do every weekend. It looks like I won't have a free weekend until the end of June. I hope that is enough time to get the nursery done.
I'll try to take some better pics for the site, but I did not want to leave you guys hanging. Talk to everyone soon! Peace and Love.
