We found out about you on Friday, May 14, 2010.

Your dad called me from Afghanistan and asked me to take a pregnancy test, so I did.

And guess what!? It said you were in there!!

This is the story of you in my tummy...

36 weeks

This week we finally finished up your room!! I am so excited that it's done (well, almost. there are still a few things here and there to finish up). Your dad and I worked on it for a while. Here are some fun pictures, although you'll see it yourself soon enough :)




This week was also New Years Eve. Your dad and I went out to dinner. Here are some pictures of us:


As for you, you are now considered full term. Yay!! You weigh around 6 pounds, which I can really tell!

35 weeks

We spent the week in Las Vegas for Christmas. We also attended our second baby shower. All the family was there so of course we got so much stuff!! I think we've gotten almost everything we've registered for, which will make life so much easier when we get home! Thank you to everyone who came. I had a wonderful time!

Here are some fun pictures from the shower:

34 weeks

Only 6 more weeks to go! We had a doctor's appointment this week and from now on we'll be going every other week instead of every 4 weeks (which seems a little excessive, but oh well.. I get to hear your heart beat every time :)

Other than that there isn't a whole lot going on. We're just getting ready for Christmas around here and I'll be flying out to Vegas this week for our second baby shower (you really are already spoiled!). This will be your 9th time on a plane! Wow, you are quite the little traveler already!

Here is what I look like this week. My tummy just keeps getting bigger and bigger:

33 weeks

This week your dad and I visited the hospital to see exactly where you will be delivered. The labor and delivery area is very nice and it sounds like the nursing staff is open to helping me labor naturally. Yay! All the rooms are private so it'll be just you, me and your dad. And you will be rooming with us the entire time- none of that staying in the nursery with all the other babies thing that they used to do in the old days.

We are getting more excited as each week goes on. It seems like there is still so much to do to prepare for you, but slowly it's all coming together.

I also made an appointment to meet with your potential pediatrician this week. We'll see her the first week of January. I hope it goes well! She is open to working out a modified vaccination schedule, which is why we chose her. I just want the best for you.

This week you weigh about the heft of a pineapple- 4ish pounds. Here is what you look like in the womb:
