Lost shirts!

So I found a shirt yesterday that I'd been looking weeks for while we were cleaning. I didn't realize til I put it on however just how many weeks I'd been looking for it! Below are two pictures- the first is me at 19wks pregnant. We had just found out we were having a boy and hasn't settled on a name yet. The second is me this afternoon at 30wks pregnant in the same shirt with Baby Ben kicking away! I can't believe that in another 10wks (give or take) we'll finally get to meet our little boy. It'll be here before we know it!

Inauguration Day Festivities

Not really, since today also happened to be MLK day I had the day off! My darling hubby though did not, so it was my day to catch up on all the junk tv shows I've been DVRing (the Kardashians are a guilty pleasure...don't judge!) and watching the updates on the Inaugural festivities that have been consuming our local area. You would think that being this close to our nation's capital AND having the day off would seem like a perfect excuse to head out to the Mall to be a part of history, but why would I do that when I have the best view in the house from my couch?

Or the massage chair where I got my toes painted today :-) in recent weeks I have discovered that I can no longer reach my feet long enough to do anything. Alex has to tie my boots for me when I get ready for work in the mornings because I can't reach them anymore. On the bright side, I can still wear those bad boys! Actually a lot of other military moms have told me that wearing the boots actually helped keep the feet swelling down to a minimum, and so far they've been right. No complaining here!

Lil man has been ever so squirmy and kept me occupied today while I was hanging with my couch buddy (pictured below). We have another check up next week! Can't believe he's going to be here in a few months!

So aside from watching TV and trying to use the day to get what little nesting I could do without going up and down the stairs too much (in my ever growing blimp-like state I get winded pretty easily these days) today was a pretty uneventful!

28 Week Bump Pic!

This pic was actually taken on Sunday, sorry my eyes were closed lol. I've been too lazy to take another good pic. And by lazy I mean, I come home from work sit in my couch and get stuck there. Literally, it takes me a few scoots to get out of the darn thing now, and it's only getting worse. Don't even get me started about getting out of the car. If it weren't for the steering wheel that gave me some leverage this morning I would have been totally hosed. I'll be 29 weeks on Saturday, only 11 more to go!

Our little ...diver?

Today we had our final Level II ultrasound with the prenatal assessment clinic! It was great to finally see our little Ben! Though he's actually not that little- the OB's exact words in regards to his head were "well, it's definitely not the smallest head I've seen" (smirk included) :-) She also went on to tell us that her first baby ended up not coming out the natural way (aka C-section). Soooo in other words, I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for that being a definite possibility with Ben lol! Who knows though right?!

You'll notice in the pic the afore mentioned big noggin and also his feet, which were up by his face when we took pictures today. Essentially this little guy was practicing his high dive stance, or yoga, either way he probably won't be able to do that again in a few years lol!

We don't know nuthin about birthin no babies Miss Scarlet!

But now we do! 28 weeks pregnant and we figured now was as good a time as any to take one of the child care classes offered at Walter Reed. We started the class this morning at 9am and we didn't leave til 5pm. It was a LONG day, but we got a lot of helpful tips for the labor process. Alex got lots of tips on how to be a good coach! Not to mention what to expect after baby gets here! So hopefully we won't be caught completely off guard by anything that could happen once we get there. Of course the key is always to be flexible! Only a few more months to go now!

January Babies Rule!

Today is my 27th Birthday! We celebrated by getting one of my favorite cakes! Carvel ice cream! Thank you for all the well wishes I got today! Love you all!

MTV Cribs pt 2!

All done! Now we just have to finish the rest of the nursery! We have the furniture, but now that we've got the crib set up its as if we've suddenly realized how much we have left to do. 27 weeks down...13 to go!
