25 Weeks


Here we are...25 weeks. I have gone to the doc, gained 7 pounds in 4 weeks...I love it! The only time in my life where I look forward to eating whatever I want whenever I want.


I am healthy and well. Michael and I had our adventures this week registering at Babys R Us...I will post pictures when I get them developed, it was a stitch...it was also about 5 hours long. The stroller shopping in itself took an hour and a half! Yup! We wanted to make sure we were getting exactly what we wanted...and really..would it really be unlike the two of us to spend that much time registering?? Come on! Stay in touch, and wait on some great photos.


We send love to all and we will keep you posted.

Dog and Baby




So, we have been noticing Fisher, wondering what it will be like for him to become the second focus in the whole family dynamic. For some reason, I think he knows this, he knows something with me is different. He stares at my tummy, and even when I lie down with him he tends to paw at my tummy...actually more like punch....a since of jealousy already??? So, we are giving him the extra love right now. I know without hesitation he is going to be great with the baby, even entertaining at that, he is already a ham. Enjoy the pics!

Weeks 23/24


Good morning everyone! Here is an image for weeks 23 and 24. I have been running behind, hoping to get back on track with weekly images. I am feeling great, my back is feeling stronger and less strained. I have made an effort to make sure I am not waddling around with my belly sticking out. It seems to help to make sure my posture is ok. Michael has been an incredible husband giving me a massage once a week, which also helps with the back and the butt muscles.

We are starting our birthing class tonight. It is sorta early but life starts to get totally nuts in October and November so we are going to do it now. The facility we are going to also helps with finding a Doula. If you have not heard of a Doula, this is a woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to the mother before, during and just after childbirth....that would be the official definition. Michael and I feel it is important to have that person there to help take care of the details so that Michael can be with me and not have to worry. It should be a great thing.

The pregnancy has been good to me, I am amazed at how my ribcage is expanding....making room as my organs are getting shifted as the baby grows. The baby has been very active, especially after yoga and when I wake up in the morning. Strange to think I have made it to the third trimester! It has moved faster than I ever imagined. I will post more images later. Hugs to you all!

Weeks 21 & 22



OK, so it has taken me a while, and I am very sorry about that! So, here is a picture of me from the last two weeks. It is definately happening! I hope you enjoy. I thought it was also important for you all to remember the other important members in the family. Michael and Fisher are doing great.
Health-wise I am doing really well. Dealing with some minor back issues, but working through them.

We send our love to you all!
