32 Weeks

June 25, 2012 - Time is sure flying by. 8 more weeks to go until the due date. We are so excited to meet her. The finishing touches in her room are slowly coming together. Her room is set up, but we need to hang the window treatment and wash clothes and organize everything. All of the stuff we got from the baby shower is put together and ready for her. It has been nice to have all this time to do all the little stuff so then we don't feel rushed to get it done later on.

I am still feeling pretty good for the most part. I will say that I have officially allowed myself to start complaining once in a while. I believe that I have been very happy so far, don't get me wrong, I still am, but my body is really starting to not be as comfortable as it was.

My legs and hips have really been starting to bother me more often, especially in the morning. I feel a lot more uncomfortable than previously. Most of this just all happened last week I would say. I get tired more often now and just in general feel more of the need to just relax when I can. I am just not moving as fast as I was two weeks ago. Overall, I still feel good, I am just slowing down a lot more.

32 Weeks

As you can tell from our recent photo, I am getting bigger every week. Without meaning to sound rude, I'd like to share some insight on comments I have received from people over the past few weeks:
- "You must be due any day now"
- "You look too small for 32 weeks"
- "You look bigger than my friend"

Here is a word to the wise - when someone is pregnant NEVER tell them how big or how small they look. The thing is if you think we look big, trust me, we probably feel big and don't want to hear about it. We don't want to be compared to someone else because everyone is different. No two pregnant women will ever look the same. Furthermore, if we look smaller than someone, don't say that either because that can sometimes make us worry. Here is something nice to say to a pregnant woman. "You look great! How are you feeling? When is your due date?"
Just wanted to briefly share that with everyone.

Justin and I had a lovely weekend together. All of his family was in town, so we got to catch up with everyone which was a lot of fun since not all of them live in town. We took the boat out yesterday with Milo and had a lot of fun with him. He usually does not like to go in the water, but we found a perfect spot for him to play. Check out this video of him playing with this floaty thing. We were so proud of him and how confident he was to play in the water. Usually he doe whatever he can to get out of the water as soon as possible. I think we may have turned him into a water pug.

Thanks for reading! :-)

My Sympathetic Husband

June 14, 2012 - Wanted to share this picture from our Lamaze class last night. Justin put the Sympathy Belly on for about 30 minutes during the class. He wore it well! Thanks for being such a good sport babe. The belly weighed 33 pounds.

Baby's First Brewers Game!

June 12, 2012 - Well we hit our 30 week mark this Saturday so we only have ten more weeks to go. I cannot believe how fast things are moving now. Before we know it, our precious little girl will be here!

The baby's room is coming together. Right now it is filled with toys from the baby shower. It looks really nice in there though. I like just sitting in there and enjoying it.

This weekend was a lot of fun. Baby Girl went to her first Brewers game! It was a hot day, but I felt pretty good. My parents were there and Justin's siblings came as well, Jarod & Jenny and Bethany.

Here are a few pictures from our day. Me and 30 week belly, Justin and I and then a shot of belly comparison. My friend Kelly's parents were at the game as well and we thought it would be funny to compare the size of our bellies with her dad Spacie! It was a really fun day!

30 Weeks!

29 Weeks

June 7, 2012 - This weekend we will be at 30 weeks meaning after this weekend there are only ten more weeks to go. Soon we will be in the single digits. Wow time just keeps going by faster and faster.

I am still feeling great! This past weekend was my baby shower that my wonderful mom put together for me. It turned out to be such a wonderful day spending time with my family and friends. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by such great people in our lives. Thank you to all my family members and friends for celebrating our day with us and for the wonderful gifts. It was such a beautiful day!

My friends Amy and Bethany came to visit before the shower and we had so much fun spending time together. Friday night we successfully stayed up until 3 am talking and just spending time with one another. I am totally surprised I managed to stay up that long, but it was so nice to spend some quality time with two of my best friends. You two mean so much to us and I want to thank you for all your help with the baby shower and just for being such amazing friends.Baby Hoerter is going to have some great aunties! She is going to love you both to pieces.

We will post some shower pictures soon. This week has been busy and free time has been used to get back on track from the weekend and me working on engagement pictures for a couple that I am shooting a wedding for this coming March.

Here is our latest tummy shot. More to come from the baby shower. Thanks again to everyone.

29 Weeks

Love you all!
