Hey...What's that line???

Out of the shower and getting ready for work…wait, what’s that line??  Oh, it’s happening – I have the vertical line on my belly!  It looks like my lower belly got a tan line in the shape of a piece of yarn…and the upper belly is just starting too.  Bill said he noticed it starting last week…wow, we’re moving right along!   

Baby’s 1st Bear’s Game!

Baby & Mommy had a great time at Soldier Field!  It was great to see “G-Pa” who came in from San Diego to see the Bears beat the Chargers!  Thanks to Uncle Ed for joining us for the day and being a great host with his seats!  Thanks to Dad for coming to town and for the tickets…at least the baby got in free this year!  And, of course thanks to Bill “daddy” for taking such good care of us! J  Looking forward to another game next year --- we can already tell that the baby loves going!

22 weeks exactly --- Bare Belly from now on!

Feeling great and growing!  Belly is getting rounder by the day and the baby is moving all around every day!  I’m so in love with our pregnancy!  I have never felt more alive!   

21 weeks 5 days, 5th month Dr. Appointment

Today we were in to see Dr. Paige.  She was great!  We had our fastest appointment ever.  All is still looking good, she started with my belly measurements and I fall right into the normal measurements – yay!  She gave me the new orders for the glucose test again and an iron test as well as another order for another ultrasound at the end of the year…just for good measures.  Another happy day, all is looking great!   

21 weeks exaclty...beware - some nude belly shots!

Moving right along!  We have the nursary started with wall paint, our rocker and the dresser/hutch.  We spend a lot of time in there rocking at night with books and music and have even fallen asleep in there!  We can't wait to have it complete with our little sweetie!

My belly is really changing so beware, we had to show it all off!

 The room is in its very begining stages.  I have to still get a matching slip cover for the chair and all the stuff for the bedding.  At least we have the hutch up and the pillow and valance from the bedding set!  It's still a great place for us to spend time at night! 

I found my new addiction! Prenatal Aqua

I started my prenatal aqua class at Good Samaritan hospital and I absolutely love it!  I have been suffering from pelvic girdle pain and IT band pain down the side of my hips for too many weeks.  We have tried so many pillows, heat, yoga, massage, etc and have not been able to get it under control…until now!  I absolutely love the class and the way my body feels in the water.  The exercises are great and the other mommy’s-to-be are fantastic!  It is just what I needed and I’m excited that I have the clearance from my doc’s to do it!  It’s my addiction!    

High Five to Daddy!

After weeks of me already feeling movements in my tummy, Auntie Renee sat patiently with her hand on my tummy after Sunday dinner and, YES, she felt the little dancer in my tummy!  That finally taught Bill the lesson of patience!  He then put his hand there and he got an immediate high-five from baby!  Now, he’s addicted and feels the baby all the time!

We started our Hypnobirthing Class!

What a great class!  I'm so glad we were able to take this class and learn new ways of meditation!  Being a fan of meditation for everyday life, I love learning new ways to incorporate Bill into the process.  We have found serenity in our nightly baby room routine and our calming baths but this is another wonderful routine that we share to connect with our sweet baby!  Class is very informative and helps to get past those stressful moments to get back to serenity and joy!  We are so in love with this baby!
