My new camera!

I got a new camera for my birthday! A Nikon D40! I love Ashley's photos so I asked her what kind of camera that she owns. She told me and I love it!! These are some of the first photos that my sister and I took with it. I have a lot to learn, so we aren't doing anything too fancy with it yet. My sister, mom, dad and I went and visited my cousin, Kaija, her husband Thad, and her four kids in Kansas City last weekend. That is where we took a lot of these pictures!

Here is a picture of Kasia, Remi, Brittany, and Hattie

This is our goddaughter Kalea...she is adorable!

Here is a picture of my mom's hand, my hand, and my baby belly!! It was Britt's idea...what a clever girl she is!

Here is a current picture of me at 31 weeks.

Sneak Peak at Nursery!!

Little by little we are getting ready to bring this little girl home.

Here are some pics of the nursery!!

A huge thanks to my mom for all the hard work she put into this nursery. She is the reason it

looks soooo great!! I am the luckiest daughter in the world!

Fabric!

Here is the fabric that we have picked out for the baby's bedding.

We are very excited and grateful that my mom has agreed to

make it for us!

When are you due??

Happy March!! March is probably one of my favorite months... It finally starts to warm up a little bit, it is my birthday month, and it also means I am one month closer to meeting my daughter. I am feeling her move around so much lately and I am sooo anxious to finally be able to stare at her, hold her, and love her to pieces!! I have to say that I am finally starting to feel large. I am having a lot of heart burn - which I never had before I became pregnant. I am also finding it a bit harder to get up out of bed. My back and feet hurt a bit more as well. All of which are a blessing because that means she is getting bigger and stronger!

So almost everyday I have a stranger ask me when I am due. I understand this because that is a question that I would ask a pregnant person as well. When I tell them that I am due May 30th, they kind of gasp and say, "Wow, you still have a long way to go!!", while implying, "You are going to be HUGE in May!". I really don't mind at all. It is true! I am pretty big, but it is only because I am so short. I have a really short torso and that is why I am showing so much at this point. So I am comfortable with it. I have asked the doctor if I have gained too much weight (17 lbs at my last appointment), and she said no that I have gained by the book so far. So hopefully I should be ok!

Here are some more belly shots!

Update on crib and bedding!! After looking through fabrics and such my mom and I decided to not use the rosebud fabric for her bedding. We will just make another quilt for her with that fabric. It was too hard to find other fabric to go with it.

Here is the crib we ordered!
