The Countdown Begins...10 weeks to Go!!!

Finally...we made it to the 10 week countdown.  I've been looking forward to this part for a while.  What I haven't been looking forward to is not being able to move around quite so well, swollen ankles (yes..already) and all the other lovely things that come with being in the third trimester.  BUT....all of those things just mean we are getting closer and closer to meeting our little one!  October is fully booked for us so I think it will fly by...November on the other hand may slow to a snail-like pace I'm afraid. 

Rob's nursery is almost complete...we just lack hanging some pictures/frames and putting all the 'stuff' away where it belongs.  I'm skipping out on decorating for Halloween this year...I know...lazy lazy!  However, Jamie did not look too thrilled when I told him we would be decorating the house for Christmas at the beginning of November.  I told him it was necessary to have our house decorated for our baby's first Christmas and the futher we get into November...well..you just never know! 

My sister came to town and took some maternity pictures for us.  She is starting up her own photography business so we played around with some new ideas for her new clients.  I really enjoyed it and will post some pics once she has them all edited and pretty-looking!  For now...here is a new (not so professional) preggo pic.

AH-mazing!

We went yesterday for an ultrasound...finally!  We hadn't gotten to see our little man for almost 14 weeks and we were both ready!  Needlesss to say...we were both in awe at how much detail we were able to see going on in there with the machinery and technology that is available to us these days.  We just loved seeing our little boy hanging out...he even starting smiling/opening and closing his mouth toward the end.  We will hopefully get one more ultrasound at 35 weeks but until then I have these pictures to look at.  Daydreaming/nesting/waiting has officially begun! 

Post-Baby Running Incentive

So I've been going back and forth on which stroller I wanted because goodness gracious those things are not cheap!  I finally decided on the BOB Revolution....it's supposed to be the best all-purpose stroller, especially if you do want to jog with the little one.  I justified it by telling myself that if I got this one, I would have NO EXCUSE not to use it for jogging.  Here's to hoping that justification holds true....these extra pounds need to go...and go quickly!!

Growing....growing.

Here's the almost-most-recent photo of me at 26 weeks.  We missed the 27 week photo op and the 28 week one is just too icky to share.  I'll post another one at the big 30 week mark!  Its definitely been interesting to see my body change...and growwwww!  Baby Rob weighs just under 3 pounds now...very exciting!  I'm slowly getting his nursery finished (pics to come) and we are getting really excited to meet our little man!
