38 weeks!

I can't believe how fast the time has flown by!  I am very excited that it is just about time to meet this little guy!  He's definitely been making some progress toward entering this world over the past few days and we don't think it will be much longer before he arrives! :)

Setting up the crib

Baby Austin will be sleeping in a pack 'n play in our bedroom initially, though we still wanted to get his crib set up before his arrival.  It didn't take long for Byron to put it all together and it is a gorgeous crib! 

Milwaukee Baby Shower

I just realized I have not update the blog in FOREVER, and baby is almost here, so I better do it while I still have a little time!  I had an amazing time at my baby shower in Milwaukee and was overwhelmed with all the love and support from my wonderful friends and family!  I could not have asked for a more perfect day!!

 

There was a game where they had to unscramble the letters to find out the baby's name....

Kansas City Baby Shower

We are so fortunate to have such wonderful family that put together a great couples baby shower for us this past weekend.  It was a lot of fun celebrating with our Kansas City area family and friends.  We really appreciate everyone's generosity and are excited to now have several items we needed to help us set up and decorate the nursery!

Officially in the third trimester!!

Wow, I can't believe how fast time is flying by!  I can tell that Baby Healy is growing rapidly now, it is officially obvious to anyone that sees me that I am pregnant!  I have started doing prenatal yoga classes, which I am really enjoying.  They are a little bit tough since my flexibility isn't what it used to be, though I hope this will be good preparation to make the labor process a little easier (a girl can dream, right?!).

Baby Healy's Heartbeat - 6/14/12

Baby Healy continues to have a strong and steady heartbeat each doctor visit.  He is also measuring on track everytime.  I have been very lucky that the pregnancy has been going well for me the entire time and I can't believe that after my next doctor appointment I will be going in every two weeks! 

Maternity photo shoot sneak peek!

After we decided to move to Tennessee, I was disappointed that I wouldn't be able to continue my weekly photo shoots with Paul Ruffolo Photography.  As luck would have it, through a close friend of Byron's, I was connected to Leila Grossman of Grannis Photography and have been able to continue doing weekly maternity pictures down here!  Here is a sampling of some of the pictures from Weeks 20-25 of my pregnancy. 

I wasn't sure how long my belly button ring would last through pregnancy; I finally took it out at 25 weeks... it was definitely time to remove it and let the piercing heal up!
