Almost a week away!

With the month of January almost behind us, that means the baby coutdown is at T minus 9 days and counting! Here is a picture of the baby belly, maybe for the last time. She is a very active little girl, and sometimes it looks like I have an alien in my belly the way my stomach shifts around! The doctor says he is amazed at how good my pregnancy has been so far, and I am hoping that holds true for the delivery as well!

I have also included some pics from the two wonderful baby showers (one hosted in Chicago by my new stepmom Barb and the other in CT by by good friend Amy). They were both such a great time, and this little girl will be much more fashionable then her mom with all the cute new clothes!

Here's to the new year, and the next update which will hopefully include some new baby photos! Brad is in charge of the hospital notification, so if you get a message from him in the next week or so you will know why :)

One month to go!

Here is a picture of the growing belly at 4 weeks to go! We have been working hard at getting everything ready before she arrives... last week we cleaned the entire house and rearranged almost all the furniture (thanks to our friends Mike and Clint for their help). Funny thing is Brad was the motivation behind all the hard work; I think he has the "nesting" compulsion already!
We are still working on the nursery, and when it gets further along we will get some pictures up for everyone. We hope you are all staying warm in this winter chill!
