Pregnancy Chalkboard


We started taking pictures at week 9! By the way, what's happening with my hair? I blame going back to work.
Obviously, here I am at week 10!
Starting getting more creative with the chalkboard at week 11. And, yep, there's our sub-woofer peeking out there in the corner. I told you we're not professionals!
The week we told everyone the exciting news!
Hubby did a good job on this one! Well, you can see my boots but that's okay :)
I told you we forgot week 14!  I think my belly is really starting to show here. Baby is the size of an orange this week!   (Eek! double chins are no good.)
Baby's the size of an avocado! Plus, only 2 more weeks and 2 days until we find out the gender!

Yep, we missed week 17. Sometimes we are busy, sometimes we just forget. BUT here is this week's! Also, we find out in 2 days if Lill' Baby is boy or girl!! 

Yay for Baby Girl!! We are so excited to have a little girl! My belly is getting bigger by the day!

AND... you get two pictures this week, the first one shows off the belly more, but this one is fun too!
Oh, yep. We missed a couple of weeks, so for that I'm posting up 2 pictures again. My guess is that this is what's gonna happen from here on out. It's getting busy around here and I don't always find time to take a picture each week.

I'm finding it harder and harder to find poses that I like. My poor hubby has to deal with taking 20 pictures before I'm satisfied! And yes, the writing is crooked :( but I really didn't fee like doing it all over again, so crooked writing for week 22 it is!
 
Hey friends! I finally found some time to do another picture, I tried to make it a little extra special for Christmas! Week 25 on the 25th day of the month! Merry Christmas everyone, enjoy spending time with loved ones.
Showing off baby girl in two pictures again this week! I'm really amazed at how she's growing (um... and therefore me too!)
Here we go friends! Happy week 27, baby girl is about 13.75 inches (the length of an English Cucumber), and right around 2 lbs. I'm feeling her move a LOT now, and it's probably the most amazing thing to experience! I'm so in love, only about three more months until we get to meet her!

Whaaaat is that number in front of the zero people?? Oh my, we are in the 30s. It is very exciting, we cannot wait to meet Lill' Miss!! And... I think I'm getting bigger. Everywhere. Ben keeps telling me I'm supposed to, I keep telling him I should probably lay off the cookies. Also, our nursery is coming along nicely. It is NOT DONE at all yet... but we are getting there and that is very exciting too! I'm really enjoying pregnancy, it is such a miraculous event and I'm so blessed that I get to be a part of this miracle of life. 

Well, as you can see we don't always get the same positioning from week to week, but that's ok with me. It's fun to see the progression from week to week and I'm excited to share them with you!
Happy Sunday everyone! Come back soon to see the next week's pictures.

A resurrection

Oh, hello there again. It's been a while. Well, to be exact it's been 6 months. 6 months too long! I have decided to *try* to keep this blog alive. It will need some TLC though since it's been neglected and ignored for a good half a year. But I feel as though I'm ready to have at it again. It's gotten a face lift (and as much as I would REALLY love to have a custom designed template I have not even a clue at all how I would even do that, so the on-line template design is the best I can do), and is ready for new life! I feel as though I actually have things to share about again. The most important, thrilling, exciting, and above all humbling is the news that I am pregnant! It is unreal, it is already life-changing, and it is the most blessed feeling I have experienced in a long time. I would like to share my story about infertility. But not quite yet, that will be saved for another day, soon though. I'll ready to share it soon. I think part of my need to share our experience is just for myself. I feel as though I need to get it out in writing. But I also hope that it could, or would, be helpful for someone else too someday. And although I really doubt I would ever forget what we've gone through, having it written out somewhere feels right to me. So, that is what I'll do. Soon. For now though, I have decided to share my weekly pictures of my pregnancy on my blog instead of on FB. So, if you want to see the updates each week, you'll have to check them out here! So exciting (ok, for me it is!). We are not professional photographers or models around this house so don't expect anything crazy cool. I don't even know how to edit the pictures, so what my hubby snaps is what you (we) get. I also bug him every week to tell me how to stand so I'm not doing the same thing each week, we even have looked at other people's pregnancy chalkboard for ideas. I've got to say if you were a fly on the wall here on Sundays you'd probably see some pretty entertaining conversations! So, here's the plan. I'm going to post this blog entry then start a new one, and then post the previous 15 weeks pregnancy pictures (I know... there's no week 14 because we got busy and forgot! Oops) in new entry. I hope you enjoy!
