24w1d aka 6 MONTHS :-)

Our first baby shower gift

We received a very large/HEAVY package in the mail today.  Our first baby shower gift!!  It was sooo exciting!!  Thank you Uncle Danny, Aunt Mandy & McKenna!  We can't wait to set up the nursery now!!  Too bad there is alot of organizing before we can put the crib up :-)

21w3d

We had our second trimester ultra sound today!  I was sooo nervous the u/s tech would reveal the gender of our baby today but after seeing her lightning speed there was no chance of that happening.  Thank goodness, our little surprise is still a surprise!  The average heartbeat was 152.  The u/s tech said our little one is very photogenic...whatever that means when you are in a womb ;-)  She or he has very long femur bones.  They measured in a high percentile.  The u/s tech and dr both said this means a very long baby...we shall see in Feb!  She or he had larger feet to which prob are in proportion to the long legs.  The belly measured a week ahead...maybe he or she hadn't had their afternoon poop yet, ha ha.  He or she was moving, moving and moving.  The u/s tech teased and said it seems like we have a feisty baby...ohhh ooo look out mommy and daddy.  We even got to witness what our baby looks in 3D.  3D in an u/s is basically like claymation, so remember this when you view the picture and think wow that kid sure is lumpy.  Everything looked great.  We are VERY happy and this much more excited for February!!  *

So much cabbage

My garden for the most part was a dry mess this year...however my tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, green beans and some squash all survived the desert like temps.    I made freezer coleslaw for the first time and it turned out yummy!  I also canned some stewed tomatoes with help from my Mom!!  Love canning with her...especially because anyone who knows me, knows I struggle with cutting...if it weren't for her I would prob still be cutting right now :-)

4 months

A week ago I hit the 4 month/16 week mark...yahoo! 

Fall is here

This weekends cool temperatures have ready for fall.  I even had to buy cider and a cinnamon doughnut...sadly they were not nearly as yummy as the ones purchased from Leipprandt's Orchard.

Soo soft

Josh and I received our first baby outfit.  My mom and dad came over to visit an brought us this little ohh soo snuggley gift.  I thought it was polka dots but Josh noticed right away it was little duckies.  SOOO Cute!  Can't wait to meet the little one that wear this :-)  We have appointment next Wednesday and I am hoping that means we will get to see the baby again!  We also received our first card a couple weeks ago from Uncle Larry and Aunt Deb.  Who will the baby look like...Mommy or Daddy? :-)
