4 weeks to go!

I can not believe that we are already in the final stretch! 4 weeks to go and we are soooo ready! I last left off when I was headed to Ohio for the shower that Mom and Ash threw. (Which, of course, was fabulous!)

Then Dad came down for a 3 week visit and we spent some time on Boca Grande. It was wonderful just hanging out, fishing, and catching some sun!

We also had some pregnancy pictures taken downtown.

Welcome 3rd trimester!!

This pregnancy cannot possibly be 2/3 of the way over already! On Tuesday I will be 27 weeks! Wow! I am loving the feeling of Audrey squirming and kicking around and Mike has been able to feel her for a few weeks now. Somewhere between 22 and 24 weeks I really started to show. It seemed like overnight I just popped out! I still feel great and haven't had any major discomforts. However, Mike made enchiladas the other night and Im not sure if Audrey loved them or hated them but man did she kick a lot that night. They were probably too spicy, which is a shame b/c those are Mike's signature dish. Hopefully he can find some bland dishes to master! The nursery is almost finished.... we are just waiting on the changing table (which Mike is picking up tomorrow) and then we'll hang some things on the walls and finish the final touches. I'm heading to Ohio this weekend for a joint shower with Jody, my sister-in-law! Even though the temperatures are supposed to be in the 20's the entire time I can't wait to see everyone! My mom is especially excited to see my belly and Ashley can't believe that she'll be able to feel Audrey kick now! What a wonderful experience this has been so far...looking forward to the final trimester and all of the new excitement it will bring!

Happy New Year!

What a wonderful year 2009 was and 2010 has already been! We had a great Christmas with family down here and then traveled to Ohio to visit family and friends. We spent a week in Ohio and then mom and dad rode to North Carolina with us to spend some time at the cabin. I'm still feeling great and definately starting to get a belly! Mike has been busy working on the nursery and already has it painted and the chair rail put up. Now he just has to put up the crown molding, lay the wood floor, and put the baseboard back on so I can start the fun part!

the nursery so far

We went to Babies R Us and Target to register this past weekend....holy smokes is that overwhelming! I think I actually saw Mike's head spin a few times! How fun though to create a wish list for little Audrey! She's spoiled already!! Hopefully the nursery will be done soon and Ill be sure to post pics.
