Long Overdue

First things first...
We're having a GIRL!!!

We found out at 19 weeks and we couldn't be more happy or excited that we are having a little girl. So many projects to get done before she gets here... I am going to attempt to make her bedding for the crib and I've already started making some cute onezies and burp cloths.

I feel weird posting the "girl shot" so I just decided to post these cute ones. This is her at 19 weeks. So cute!


Now the challenge is finding a name... we are struggling with this one. Hopefully we will find one we like soon!


Me at 20 weeks...


and 24 weeks. I already feel huge, I don't know how I can get any bigger :)

I can totally feel her move and kick now. It's the weirdest but coolest feeling in the world. I can stare at my belly and watch my stomach jump whenever she kicks. Tyler couldn't believe it the first time he saw it :)


Here is one of the onezies I made... It's amazing what you can do with leftover fabrics!

We found these on Craigslist for cheap, her room is slowly coming together. I need to get going with it, she'll be here before we know it!


And in the middle of dental school and preparing for a baby, Tyler has been my handyman. We needed a kitchen table but didn't want to spend a fortune on one. So we turned to Craigslist again and found this nice simple table. It just didn't match any of our other furniture. So Tyler sanded it and painted it black. It turned out so good!



And this Tyler made from scratch... bought the wood, cut it, assembled it, and painted it. Impressive huh?! He's the best hubby in the world! I still have to make a cushion for the bench and find baskets to fill the cubbies. It's hard to find some that are reasonably priced.

Dental school has picked up so the projects have slowed down. Tyler has been doing really well in school, he's studying a ton and I have a feeling it's going to get worse :) Good thing I'll have my little girl to keep me company!

Other things we've been doing the last couple of months...

-My parents came into town for conference weekend. It was SO good to see family and have someone visit. It was such a good weekend and glad they were able to come out.

- Enjoying the amazing weather here... Pretty sure there should be snow on the ground right now but we are still wearing jeans and flip flops.

-We moved into a new apartment a while ago, just haven't blogged about it. We love where we are and love our ward. So many awesome people and feel like we are in the right place.

- We went to a corn maze... a NEBRASKA corn maze. I don't think I need to say any more.

-My sister had her baby last week, she is so adorable. Her cousin can't wait to meet her!

That's about it. If you are still reading this, I'm sorry...

FINALLY!! Thanks for making my day! Every once in a while I wonder if you're still alive, and then... A BLOG POST. Whoopdeedoo! PS I've been wanting to make more of those flowers, but I'm too scared without you! PPS I just thought about how I always call our favorite game Hibachi Ball. Haha.

First of all I am NOT even going to compare baby bumps with you... yours is SO CUTE! mine is so large... and your onesie making is going to have to continue over my little girls size t shirts, since she is slowly already outgrowing the onesie phase :) you're awesome!

Ashley said...

Congrats guys! We just found out our second one is a boy, so I'm a bit out numbered but we are so happy. You are so cute and don't worry you'll get a LOT bigger. You'll look back at pictures and say how in the world was I ever THAT big and when you have your second one you get even bigger quicker, I'm far surpassing you and I'm several weeks behind.

Holden and Audrey said...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm SO excited for you guys, and you are such a cute pregnant girl!

Jeff and Whitney said...

That onesie is super cute! I'm so excited that you get to start pulling stuff together. Those craigslist finds were seriously amazing and go Tyler for building all that stuff! I wouldn't even know how to go about doing that...

p.s. - I agree with Rebecca - you look super cute.

Nancy said...
