Third Trimester!

3-D Ultrasound of our lil gal!

25 weeks...... 15 weeks to go!

Here we are at 25 weeks.  She is kicking and moving around constantly!  Brian can feel her and even SEE her- creepy.  Wearing a pair of maternity jeans here... actually very comfy.  It was nice having Brian take the pictures this time.  Much better quality and no self-timer.

23 weeks... new ultrasound pictures!

Today we went to Akron Children's Hospital to get an additional ultrasound to look closer at her heart.  Due to some family background, this was necessary to rule out any heart conditions.  We were excited to see her again (and it was confirmed yet again that it is in fact a girl).  The heart doc said that her heart was in excellent shape beating at 146 beats/minute with "beautiful chambers."

And here are some pictures of an 11 inch spaghetti squash.... just about the length of her right now..... she was 1 lb 3 ounces at the ultrasound.

Pictures from 20 weeks 4 days:

Ohhhhhhhhh...... We're half way there! Well, just about....

Last Saturday brother Timmy- Alex- AJ graduated from Big Boy School (Kent State University).  Definitely had some trouble squeezing into the dress I had planned to wear but with the help of Ellen, it fit!  And with the help of Ellen, Mike, and some pliers I got out of the dress!

Here are some pictures from that special day!

Here I am at 18 weeks 1 day right before the ceremony

Really need to get Brian to take these pictures- created my own photoshoot with a 2 second delay on the self-timer.  I was out of breath!

First Trimester....

Took 6 pregnancy tests before we could believe it....

6 Week UltraSound (thought we were 8 weeks along)

Shared with the parents and siblings over the Halloween weekend.  Placed the ultrasound in our Best of the West photobook.  It almost blended in with all of the photos of mountains, geysers, and random wildlife!
