Look who's here!

Our (impatient) daughter arrived on Monday. There are more pictures (and name, stats, etc.) on the baby blog.

35 Weeks--8 months!

Lots of growing around here! The little one is still moving a lot (especially at night), but on the whole I'm still feeling good.

J has all the insulation up in the basement, and may get the drywall up this weekend. Things are shaping up around here.

31 weeks--7 months down, 2 to go!

Here's a 31-week belly shot. Sorry about the lighting, but the festive backdrop is worth it, right?

Joanna, Chrissa, and Christine threw me a beautiful baby shower today. I had a wonderful time having all of my favorite east coast people together in the same place! We received some very useful baby items and some adorable little clothes. Thank you to all of my friends and family! (click on the photo above to see more photos of the shower)

27 weeks--6 months down!

It's a little crazy to put our minds around the fact that we'll have a baby in 3 months! Today marks the beginning of the third trimester...still feeling very good and knocking on wood whenever I say somethng like that. :)

J turned in his thesis to the readers this week! Hooray! After his first quarter grades go in tonight, we'll actually be getting to work on some baby prep around the house.

25 Weeks

Ignore the post-yoga hairdo and sweatiness, and here's what I look like at 25 weeks.

The baby is moving a lot. Last night was pretty funny in that it wouldn't move for a while, then if I rubbed my belly it would poke back. Of course I repeated this ad nauseum, since it was so cool to think that the baby was reacting to something I was doing!

Feeling the Baby Kick!

I've been feeling the baby move around the last few weeks, but last night the baby stepped it up and started really moving around in there. And tonight J could feel it too! Hooray! We're not just imagining all of this. :) With the ultrasound on the 17th and now this, things are starting to seem a lot more real on the baby front.
