10 Weeks to go!!!

So today I am 30 weeks and have 10 weeks +/- to go. I am feeling good for the most part, I have some back pain here and there and if I am up too long on my feet my legs will start hurting. I have been having what I assume are Braxton-Hicks contractions, which makes this even more real than I already know it is! One of the best things about all of this is when Cory asks me how "his baby is doing?" or "what is she doing now? He is getting so excited and seeing it in his eyes and hearing it in his voice is wonderful.

He is already a proud daddy!

Congrats to my brother Kevin and sister-in-law April on their new arrival (Aiden) on

Thursday March 26th. Also want to wish Kevin and my nephew Austin a Happy Birthday tomorrow! Love you all!

12 weeks and counting!

So today I am 28 weeks, which means I have 12 weeks give or take. According to the bump.com she is the size of an eggplant (about 13.6-14.8 inches in length and 1.5 to 2.2 pounds). I am still in awe when she moves - it is such an amazing feeling and sight! Cory and I are just so excited to meet her. We went last week to tour the maternity floor at Banner Gateway and it was a beautiful place. They said every time a baby is born they play Brahms Lullaby throughout the hospital! I can't wait to hear that while I am there, it will not only be motivation while I am in labor but something I will never forget as part of the whole experience. So for those of you who want belly pics here is another - I have the same shirt on so you can see the difference from the last time.

Truly the Best!

Monday was not a great day for me (LONG STORY) but when I got home and after I had some emotional times (pregnancy hormones don't help when you have had a bad day) I saw the baby move for the first time!!! Like I have said before I can feel her move inside but to actually see my belly move made me forget about my awful day! This was truly the best feeling EVER! I called Cory over to see her move and to see his face light up was also wonderful! 98 days left according to the bump.com and I will be counting them down til I get to see her!!

26 Weeks

Holy moly 26 weeks already! Time seems to be flying by so fast! We are getting more and more excited everyday. We went to register the other day and it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, trying to figure out what she needs and what she doesn't. She is going to be a soccer player for sure (not that her daddy would have it any other way), she is very active and I am going to miss feeling her move around and kicking, but having her in my arms will be even better! Besides writing about my pregnancy I am going to start writing about what (and posting pics) is happening in Cory and my life while living here in AZ. I hope everyone is doing well.
