Bumptastic - 23 weeks



Haven't posted any pictures lately of the bump's progression, so I thought I'd put some up. We still need to post some pictures of the house, which I promise, we'll do (at some point).




Back to Reality 20-22 weeks

Coming back from Colorado was tough. It has been such a hectic time for Matt and I at work, that it was nice to get away for a few days. Matt had his first business trip under his new role to Berlin for a big customer event. He spent all week there and come home exhausted, but he enjoyed it. I went to Italy for work that week as well, and while down there I felt the first few kicks and nudges from the baby. By the end of the week, you could actually feel the baby kick with your hand. It was a good surprise for Matt to come home to.

We went to the doctor for a big ultrasound measure the week after we both got back. Everything is still good and the baby is really growing! We even managed to get a few 3D images from the ultrasound. Little one doesn't like having it's picture taken (already like Daddy)


















Lots of photos - even one of the spine and the little ones legs.

US Trip 19 Weeks



It has been ages since I updated our blog, so I'm going to post over a series to catch up.

Matt and I traveled to Colorado Easter weekend for one last trip home before baby comes. Of course, baby isn't due for about 21 more weeks, but our doc said no more long distance travel after 24 weeks.
Becca, Jessica and Melissa also threw us a couple shower on Saturday the 10th at Jessica's. We had a lot of fun. All the girls prepared the food and my Mom and John cooked a bunch of meats. It was good to see everyone and catch up. We played a diaper-making game and ate loads. Laura brought her little girl, Raegan - she was soo tiny! I can't believe in a few months we'll something so small and little too!
We received tons of gifts and lots of books to read to the little one. We are very lucky to have such thoughtful and generous friends and family! We managed to get just about everything on our registry, which will go a long way in preparing the nursery. We also picked up a few additional things for the baby. We had so much stuff, I have no idea how we managed to bring it all back, but we did.
