HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!


Only 9 1/2 weeks to go. There haven't been any updates lately as my internet at home is not working. I am not happy about this.


This is our little Loopy. I had this ultrasound done on March 11 at my last doctor's appt. I just wanted to see my baby again...I missed seeing her. Isn't she adorable. I keep telling her I can't wait to pinch her cute little cheeks.

I had the glucose screening done last time, and I tested high "for their standards". So I had to suffer through the 3 hour glucose test. Luckily, I passed with "flying colors". I was extremely worried...it wasn't just me that could be affected. So I was a basket case the 2 days before the test.
She's been moving quite a bit lately. Last Friday it was cute. We had errands to run before Nick started to take the border off in the room so we did quite a bit of driving. Loopy was quite the mover! I think she knew it was her daddy. She'd been fairly "quiet" all day until he called when he was an hour out. Then she just started moving constantly...and she didn't stop until we were home. I think she's a daddy's girl already! So we were driving and Nick's got his hand on my stomach. A few weeks ago his friend, Greg, told us that he had always been freaked out by feeling Sam and Drew move. So I think Nick kind of got it in his head that it should freak him out too...it didn't really stop him from trying to feel her but he slightly lost interest...until Friday. I don't know what happened, if someone said something to him, or what. But he'd feel her move and if he didn't laugh he'd get a grin on his face. Then we were at Mike and Shauna's Saturday night and he was talking about it saying it is so cool. I'm glad he's getting a little more excited. It takes Nick awhile to adjust to things...and this is a BIG thing, so I was careful not to push him. He just needed time and I'm glad it worked! He still has a few freak out moments, but who doesn't?!
My good friend, Lucy, started painting the nursery last Saturday. Tomorrow she is finishing up with the "details". I'm excited. Things are finally starting to get ready! I will post pictures when my mom sees in in person first, but then I have to also wait until my stupid internet is working again.

MARCH 3, 2009

WOO HOO!!! We made it to the 3rd trimester! 3 months...or Twelve weeks...or 84 days. It's going to go fast. Thanksgiving was 3 months ago and look how fast that went! And once the weather gets nicer, time will just go faster. Then I can finally meet my daughter.


By this week, our baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
