Countdown is on..... 10 weeks to go!

Here I am at 30 weeks pregnant. Baby is measuring right on track and doing very well! I can't believe I am only going to get BIGGER!

Picture Perfect

Today was Super Tiny's last ultrasound. Next time we see him will be IN PERSON!

The ultrasound tech humored me and printed off some pictures so that I can share with all of you. Also, you will be happy to know, Super Tiny is still a boy - as indicated in the pic below. I am his mom, so I think it's completely acceptable for me to embarrass him by posting these!




I think he looks just like Todd in this bottom profile picture, what do you think??

Showered with Love!

Today was a wonderful day! My mom and sister threw an amazing shower for Super Tiny. I was overcome by emotion seeing all of my friends that showed up to eat, laugh, and shower our son-to-be with gifts.

It's amazing to think how many great friends Todd and I have made during our 6 years in Minneapolis. I am grateful for each and every one of them, and am so happy to share this moment in our life with them!

Here are some quick pics of the day. More photos to come from the great photographer Romina....

Third Trimester

Well my third trimester is officially in full swing! Today marked week #29. According to my extensive online research, our son is the size of a butternut squash - YUM!

Super Tiny has really ramped up the activity. His current routine includes the following:

• Morning stretches starting at about 7am and lasting until 10 or so
• Lunch time naps/meditation
• Late afternoon "happy hour" - this is typically comprised of tumble time and boxing
• Evening "rib jabs" to mommy with the occasional bout of hiccups
  

It's amazing to think of how much development has taken place for our little one. Now he just needs to fatten up in preparation for D-day!

Here's a pic of what he looked like from the outside last week.....

Tree-mendous!

And I don't mean my belly! Although that is getting pretty big these days as well. What the title refers to is the awesome wall decal Todd and I put up in Super Tiny's nursery this weekend.

I have had this vision of adding some type of white tree decal to the darker gray accent wall in the baby's room, and after much searching online I finally found the perfect one! I ordered it off of an Etsy.com shop called "Little Lion Studios", and I couldn't be more pleased!

Below you can see how the decal arrived. And after slicing, dicing, and applying, you can witness the final product in all its glory. What do you think?

The Star of Christmas

Our nephew Brayden was the star of Christmas this year. It was so fun for Todd and I to spend a few days in a row with him and get to witness his little personality first hand. We also got a chance to test out our new Sony Bloggie camera on the little super star. Here are a few clips below!

Although he hasn't quite taken to "using his words" yet, you can see from the video below that he is quite the speed reader.
