got belly?

the baby sure has been busy these last 10 weeks! you are looking at the belly shot from 23 weeks and 33 weeks pregnant! we are just mesmerized with the transformation!

my mom says she wants to see the 43 week picture....
well... uh... uh..

i guess my doctor will let me go to 42 weeks, if that's what makes baby happy. but i think i would definitely pop by 43 weeks right? we had a regular doctors check-up yesterday and everything is looking good.

"her head is pointing down and her rump is up!"
"just keep doing what you are doing"
"don't mess with success"
"go out and treat yourself to a nice lunch out"

the doctor was just so perky! it is so fun to have the baby in the belly and to be at this stage of the game. we are savouring it! the baby belly got all sorts of extra rubs yesterday, knowing where all of her 'parts' were. it was most funny when she did a punch after getting her bottom pushed!

we were teasing her that she is like the kitty, you pat his bum when he is sleeping and he lifts his head and 'meooooows' so quickly! how fun it is to know where her arms and legs are! we weren't getting many good clues on our own. the belly is a mystery! i wonder how long she will stay in this position? i guess there is something to look forward to for the next doctors visit after all (besides jumping on the scale.)

baby shower

click on the photo to see more shower pics!

we had a wonderful shower yesterday by aunts, cousins, and sister-in-law on scott's side of the family! it was so nice visiting, sharring, reminsicing, and being baby-spoiled! i always get a little nervous if i need to be the center of attention but something is special about carrying the center of attention tooo!

our little baby kept pretty low key through all of the festivities, even the laughter from the diaper guessing game! she isn't swirling so firercely in the belly anymore, she has started to run out of room for that.... now she gives me bubbly-types of movements that are mostly gentle and quick.

i've posted a variety of pictures from the shower, including some gift pictures too just because of everyone's generosity. the baby is definately spoiled! what a special time to celebrate a new life! thank you! thank you! thank you!
