27 Weeks

Well here is the man who did this to me! What a cutie!

As you can see, I'm continuing to grow. This morning the baby woke up with me. I woke up and was laying there, wishing I could sleep just a little longer...and then the baby kicked pretty hard all of a sudden, and I saw the sheet laying on my belly pop up from the kick! Pretty neat. Its all the little things that put a smile on my face.

Cameron and I are heading out for a little road trip tomorrow morning to Southern Oregon. We'll be gone until Sunday or Monday. We'll see if we still want to beat the traffic on Sunday, or enjoy one more day and drive home on Monday. We're heading up to Ashland tomorrow and staying the night. Then Thursday we'll go explore Crater Lake, and drive on to Coos Bay. If you didn't know, I was born in Coos Bay, OR, in the Bay Area Hospital. Funny, huh? My dad was stationed there at the time, then he was stationed in Alabama and California, and then back to Coos Bay, OR when I was finishing up 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. So I'll show Cameron my school, and some other memories of the area. Next we're planning on driving on to Gold Beach on Saturday, and might take a Jet Boat ride on the Rogue River, and do some sight seeing. Then Sunday we'll enjoy driving down the coast back into CA. Cameron wants to go to Avenue of the Giants to see the tallest tree in the world (Redwoods). So much to do, so little time. But we're really looking forward to it because it will be the last vacation we'll have, just the two of us, before we have a baby! It'll be a fun time.

Until next week...

25 Weeks

Sorry its late. I've been wanting to take a photo in front of this waterfall for a while now. Cameron had fun out there with the camera. This was our favorite photo.

I also posted a photo of the dresser that Alicia gave us for the baby room. And Cameron did a great job painting the baby room. He really wouldn't let me do much. He's going to do a little touching up today, and we'll start arranging what little furniture we have in there. It makes me feel better that this is now something we don't have ahead of us. One thing off the list!

I'm still feeling great these days. I love seeing my growing belly everyday, and the way Cameron looks at me differently now... I have a great man! I can't believe we are going to be a family soon! I'm just imagining a little girl sitting at the kitchen table with us soon enough...crazy thought! How are lives are going to change! Can you tell I'm looking forward to it??

6 Months!!

I cannot believe I am already 6 months. Suddenly it feels like I'm really far into the pregnancy! Most people at this point probably think I look pregnant, but won't dare say anything yet because they still aren't quite certain. Its funny, the floor that I work on has several women who all have to wonder (I see them looking) but are all to polite to ask. Because my god, what if they were wrong! Makes me laugh. But last week in the mall at Sephora a woman gave me a sample of some cream and said I could rub it on my belly, and asked if it was a boy or girl... and I loved it! She was the first one who was confident enough to say something to me about it, and she was certain! So at that point, I knew I really looked pregnant. Cause I swear, certain clothes don't show it!

Well I went to my OB today, and everything looks great. Every test I've taken and all the ultrasounds this far are all normal. She measured from my bellybutton down today and said the size of my belly was good. Then as she was listening to the heartbeat, she started telling me she knew I was going to have the cutest baby, she just knew... cute like a Gerber baby. That put a big smile on my face.

Until next week...
