26 weeks with 3.5 months to go

Time is going by SOOOO fast!.                 She is only the size of a head of Lettuce but it feels more like a basketball.. Her favorite thing is to keep me up at night by kicking me in the ribs and by dancing on my bladder. Makes sleep not so great these days. Naps are becoming my regular thing on the weekends and during the week if I can fit in a quick one after work.   Otherwise besides the backaches and achy feet I'm feeling great. Not much to complain about which is good. !  Now that she is getting bigger her heart beat is loud enough that Keny can hear it if he listens closely.  She can open her eyes now also.   

The nursery is really starting to come together.. Here is what we have so far. Its not to girly.. I figured everything else she has is going to be pink.  Big thanks to Nannette, she is coming out to make the bedding and curtains for the room!. With her touch it will make the room come together and look great.

 Seems like every couple days we get a big box on our doorstep with something for the nursery.  I found out really fast that anything you need for your nursery is on back order for weeks!.. Good thing I didn't wait long before we started to buy the necessities like the crib and rocking chair.  

We got a great idea from a friend of mine about collecting some of Keny and I's old baby books that we liked when we were younger..I know I somewhere I have a stash of them, probably not in good shape but that's ok.  In each book we will write a little message to her  of some cute memories we have once she is born.  Slowly we can start a little book collection for her.

25 Weeks. Just 1 more week until I'm at the beginning of the 3rd trimester already!.This week The hands are fully developed -- fingerprints and all! She is starting to put on some baby fat also.

6 months & Babymoon update

6 Months, Hard to believe how fast it gone by. That puts her at just over a pound. Since she almost a foot long, she cuts a pretty lean figure at this point. She is the size of an ear of corn from head to bum. Also by now, that fabulous face is almost fully formed, complete with eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair. What color will her hair be ?? brunette or blonde?? Actually, right now her locks are white since there's no pigment yet

 

Sorry its been a couple weeks since i have posted something. We officially moved our office down to the lower level and the computer, camera and everything else has been piled up in the room waiting to be organized.   Now that the nursery is all cleared out I started painting!.. Thinking about getting new carpet upstairs so that is kinda holding up any other projects in the nursery like decorating and putting together the crib.    I have alot of things done on my to do list that must get done before the baby gets here.

Crib- got it

Mattress- need it still

bedding- still need it

rocking chair and ottoman- got it

car seat- got it

stroller- got it

painting- half way done

install shelves in closet- not done

new floor- needed still

dresser/changing table- need it

cloths- only a couple things still need to stock up.

other baby items- Nothing so far!. so much to get still

Birthing classes- scheduled

registered for hospital- done!

pediatrician- still looking

and the list could go on and on and on.!

As for me. Man oh man has my belly grown this week. I had to break down and officially buy some maternity shirts, can't fit in to my regular shirts anymore with out this baby belly sticking out.  Otherwise I'm feeling great, No complaints. I'm really enjoying this pregnancy thing but I have been told my opinion might change come December and January. Sound like my shower might be in November- more details will be mailed out to everyone. If I don't have you address and you would like to come send your info my way.. 

 

Baby-moon update



Veiw from our deck in Teton Springs, ID



So much fun!. so glad we went. First time we drove through the grand Tetons was end of December a couple years back. We thought we would take a different highway so we would drive right through the Tetons and get some great views and pictures. Well that didn't work, it was Blizzarding  so bad we couldn't see the trees on the side of the road.   When I planned this trip I thought wow it would be nice to go back there in the fall to see the leaves change and get  chance to actually see the Tetons  Well for the 2nd time it didn't  go as planned. Little did I know there were 3 different fires close to the Tetons and it was so smoky we could barely see them at all.  We decided maybe we should plan a trip somewhere completely different than the Teton's next time because obviously we weren't meant to see them.  We did see some beautiful trees and stuff.  We saw 2 moose the first day we were there. I was so  excited.. I really wanted to see a bear, its on my bucket list but unfortunately we didn't see any of those either.  



Tetons from the back at Grand Targhee



 First night we stayed in Grant Teton valley which is at the base of Jackson Hole Ski Resort. It was nice but the hotel left much to be desired!.  Last 2 nights we stayed in Victor Idaho which is on the back side of the Tetons in a fabulous Lodge and Spa!.  Most beautiful please we have ever stayed, this place lacked zero of anything.  Granite counter-tops in the full kitchen, golf course with gorgeous views of the aspen covered mountains that we could actually see.!  Lakes surrounding the resort that were stocked for  guest to fish for free.



Jackson National park



Great place and we will defiantly be going back there, maybe with another couple next time. It defiantly holds its title of a true 5 star Luxury hotel. I would recommend it to anyone. Here are some of the best pics from our trip!..   Hopefully it won't be more than a year or so before our next trip.  Keny and I are home bodies mostly but it is nice to get away every once in a while.
