3D/4D ULTRASOUND.... A MUST HAVE!!!

I can't believe that I'm in 3rd trimester. The time is flying by so quickly. Our little one will be here before you know it. Speaking of, we now have a better look at what he/she will look like:))) Durbin and I had 3D/4D pictures and videos taken as an additional keepsake for our baby book. It's absolutely amazing to see that little face that will soon be here to greet us and keep us busy! We were even able to watch our baby wave, yawn, smile, swallow, munch on their toes, suck on their thumb, and even pick their nose! It's the most wonderful experience to watch your baby do all these things and more. Being able to see your baby smile had to be the most touching moment thus far! Besides all the side kicks and jabs, that one smile melted my heart! It's still amazes me that we were able to watch our baby have a "typical" day:))) I've wondered how he/she doesn't get bored in there, but then again, they seemed to be having a dandy ole time:) Before you know it, they'll be having a dandy time here will us! We're so excited and are counting down the 80 days!
We're leaving in 2 days for vacation but will keep you all posted on what's new and exciting!
Sucking my little thumb!

Is that a little double chin?:)


Rubbing my eye! I'm getting sleepy!

Taking a little nap!

A big yawn!

A Smile for Mommy & Daddy! We can't wait to meet you!

To Work or NOT to Work, that is the question!

Well, the time has come and gone to make the decision to continue working after our little one arrives. I'm lucky my husband has given me the choice. After a lot of thinking, I think I will continue to work for a little but longer....not forever though:)) I definitely don't plan on missing any of the monumental moments so we'll see what happens in the future! I'm just lucky that I had the option. Now I have to move onto other decisions...full time nanny! Not a big fan of day care so I'm definitely needing to start the search for the nanny now! I'm sure it will be much more difficult than I planned and I want to find the "perfect" one! Is there such a thing??:) If anyone has any recommendation, please let us know.
I guess the next step after that will be searching for more names! It's much more difficult than I planned, but definitely fun!
That's it for now!

BABY BUMP!

Here are some BELLY PICS that everyone has been requesting!:) I know I've been kind of slow, but what can I say! I didn't really pop/show until about 5 1/2 months and am so excited I've finally got the "BUMP!" We are having 2 maternity sessions, labor and delivery (a clean version video), and newborn pics taken so there will be plenty more to come! I had some professional ones taken already but figured I'd just post these to start! It's amazing how pale I feel. I don't think I've been this white since birth:))
(Krista, Anne, Katie, etc......I told you I'd get them done by today....aren't you proud?:)
