34w1d... Labor Day Weekend and Outside Belly Pics!!

Hi everyone! Well as I promised, I have uploaded some belly pictures. Well as some of you know my husband Brian is quite the amateur photographer. This is his first set of maternity pictures. Brian still wants to do some inside pictures as soon as we have our basement back in order, so I'll put those up as soon as we take them. Here are 5 of my favorites, Brian really did a great job of making me feel beautiful in all of the pictures that he took.










As for the rest of the holiday weekend, Brian and I had a WONDERFUL weekend. On Friday, I was incredibly surprised at work that they threw me a shower. I really didn't think that they were going to since I haven't been in work since the beginning of June. I was incredibly touched by all of the people that showed up, and all of the people that put effort into it. We were given an incredibly generous Babies'R'Us gift card that helped us to buy the majority of everything we still needed for our little one to show up. Oh and Brian surprised me with a brand new point and shoot camera, so that I could take tons of quick pics of Sean.

On Sunday Brian and I went and got pedicures, which was incredibly fabulous, especially since I can no longer reach my toes. It was so nice that Brian was willing to go with me, we found a nice little place that is brand new, and I am pretty sure we will go back there soon. Right after we finished there, Bri and I headed over to Babies'R'Us, and spent $60 on nearly $400 worth of still needed gear. We had saved up all of our gift cards and coupons and used them all in one shot. Its official... with the exception of our crib which still needs to arrive... Sean can come and has what he needs.

Today, other than the picture session, Brian and I worked on putting a bunch of stuff away in the nursery, and it really looks wonderful, as soon as we get the crib in there I will make sure to take pictures of everything so that everyone can see it. Sean has diapers, wipes, clothes, etc. and everything has its place for now. I just need to wash a bunch of items, and pack my hospital bag, and then there won't be much left to do.

Tomorrow is our breastfeeding class which should be a lot of fun!

18w2d... Belly Pics

Ok, so since I have had a million people asking for them, I asked Bri to take a belly pic of me on Mother's Day. So right before bed, we shot this little number.

Well I can't say I feel like I am showing to anyone other than myself and Brian, but I suppose I am. I just feel like I look big, but I think its time to admit it, I am pregnant. I have started wearing maternity clothes almost exclusively. I have a great friend who lent me a bunch of outfits which should help get me through at least some of this pregnancy.

On my first Mother's Day :-) Brian made it incredibly memorable for me... thank you sweetie! Brian took me out for breakfast, and cooked a big dinner for my entire family. well at breakfast, the diner was handing out flowers to all of the Mom's that came through. Well without saying anything, they handed me a rose saying it was for the Mom-to-be. I could have jumped up and down and kissed the VERY greek old man. I am showing!!!

Well I seem to have gained a little weight back from the 8+ lbs. that I lost in the first trimester. I think I have gained 4lbs, which would still put me down 4 lbs.

Well, we have an OB appointment on Thursday morning, I'll update more after that.

In the mean time.... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!
