Baby Bump Pics

OK - even though it pains me to do it, it has been requested that I post some "baby bump" pics. I don't know how long I'll be brave enough to show any more "bare tummy" pics, but here you go...it really is amazing the difference in 6 weeks! (Or maybe that's just too many bags of chips and bowls of ice cream!)

Eight weeks - me "trying" to have a baby bump!

14 1/2 weeks

I have to give a shout out to Zach - he really hates taking pictures and since I'm a perfection Nazi you can imagine how much fun he was having - I am married to one patient man! You did great babe!

Baby Shower Diaper Cake

There's not much more I love these days than going to a baby shower. We had one at work for one of the girls and I had to share my "diaper cake" with you - I started making them about a year ago and I've never taken any pictures - they're so fun to make and always turn out differently.

God's Amazing Blessing

Well, we have been keeping it to ourselves for long enough - I'm pregnant again!! I am 13 weeks today (March 10) - only a million to go! I have been much "sicker" this time which I hear is "good news" but am excited to get to 16-20 weeks when some of that should get a little better. Zach and I are just thrilled...we decided to wait a little longer to spill the beans this time, but couldn't wait any longer...well, at least I couldn't - Zach says I couldn't keep a secret from myself! Only 6 more weeks to find out boy or girl - the vote so far has been "boy" so if it's a girl it will be even more of a surprise. I am already starting to show a little which is exciting and disheartening at the same time - finding clothes that fit for work are getting more difficult by the day! (Maternity clothes are still way too big right now for the most part). I have however discovered maternity pants and am not sure if I will ever go back - any of you who are brave enough need to encourage me NOT to continue to wear these 6 months after the baby gets here!!

I think my favorite part so far was when Zach got to go to my last appointment and he heard the heartbeat for the first time - just the look on his face was priceless - I don't think he stopped smiling for an hour! He hasn't been to an ultrasound yet due to work, but he will be there in six weeks when we find out the sex. I will keep you all posted - please keep this precious little one in your prayers!!

It's unbelievable how the little sweetie went from what looked like a dustball on the first ultrasound at six weeks and only the size of a sesame seed to this - a real baby and already the size of a lime - only 6 weeks later!




This one is where he/she rolled over and waved - how adorable! I just kept telling the nurse "Isn't it beautiful - isn't it precious?" and I know she was thinking "Everyone thinks there's is precious and beautiful!" I just don't know how anyone can go through bearing a child and not believe in God's wonderful creation and His miracles....I am so grateful for this life He has given to us!
