Baby Shower

On Wednesday, Sept 21st my friend HaiVy threw me a baby shower. It was so nice! I had so much fun and Brayden got a TON of great things!! That night we had a really bad storm roll thru, the sirens were going off but the party went on. I think a tornado had touched down north of the metro and a lot of people were without power. I will have to post some pictures later.
Thank you to all who were there and for the great gifts!! We really appreciate everything!!

34 Week Tummy Update!

Today we had our 34 wk appointment. Everything was looking great. His head is still down so he hasn't moved since the last check up. This weekend Joel and I have a lot to get done! We are getting the basement ready for the office to move and the office ready for Brayden's room. I will post some before and after pictures. USA Baby called last night and said the crib was in!! That makes me feel better b/c it wasn't supposed to be here until his due week. I don't know if anyone else thinks this is rediculus but they were going to charge $120 to deliver and set up the crib. No way! Anyway, now we'll have his room all ready.

My prediction is that he'll come around Oct 15th. I don't know why I have that feeling. Maybe it's the full moon around then. My instincts thus far have been correct but I don't want to be sad if he ends up being stuborn like his dad and coming 2 wks late.

Well, I need to keep cleaning the office. Looks like a great weekend!

In case you were wondering........

Ok, so several people have been asking where we are registered. Here you go:

For those who do not have a Babies R Us around you can get everything online as well as at most Toy's R Us stores.

32 Week Update! 

The weeks keep flying by.........where am I again?

What a sleepy week! I can't believe how tired I get these days. I think it's all the extra weight I am carrying around. Yikes. Last week Joel and I started our first of our 5 wk series "preparing for baby" classes. They haven't been bad. Joel hasn't fainted watching the videos. I for one am a little creeped out when I see them. Oh well, he's gotta come out one way or another. Reality, is starting to set in. 9 1/2 weeks left! I am also really starting to have mommy brain. I forget everything and never remember where or what I was just going to do. I have heard this does not get better.

Here's a photo of Joel and I in Denver last week for his cousin Ted's wedding. We had a great time. We visited a lot of Joel's family and also I got to see my friends Kim, Lisa, and Crystal (and their men). Lots of fun but I was tired by the end of the trip.

28 Week August Tummy Update

Annie August 2nd

We are in our third, and final, trimester!

We can't believe how fast this time has gone! 13 more weeks until we meet Baby Brayden! After a wonderful vacation with Joel to Medora, Yellowstone, and Lake Sacajawea with very hot temperatures, high altitude, and lots of visiting with family I am feeling excellent. This year has been the hottest summer since Joel and I have been together and I am prego, go figure. But it's all worth it. We get a wonderful gift in the end.

June Tummy Update!

AnnieBear on June 10th

Here we are at 20 weeks. We found out this week that we are having a BOY! The "kickstand" was as clear as day. It was amazing to see the baby finally.

16 weeks

AnnieBear on May 13th! Starting to have a little tummy. Today we had our 16 week appointment with Julie Rice. AnnieBear was told- No more Hotdogs, No more heals, and More Stretching. Shsh......Needless to say Annie didn't take that very well. But all is well and this time was the first time I heard the baby's heartbeat (again around 140). It was truly amazing! One more month till we find out the sex- boy or girl...........I am betting on girl.

First Mother's Day

AnnieBear's first mother's day breakfast!

12 Weeks

AnnieBear on April 11th! Is there a baby in there? Today we had our second Dr appointment with Dr. Hammen. Unfortunately, I was unable to be there as I was in San Francisco for work. Annie heard the baby's heart beat for the 1st time. It was around 130-140 beats per minute. Everything checked out A-OK.
