Third trimester!

Holy Moley, the count down is on like donkey kong! I am 28 weeks, about 7 months! She will be here before we know it, especially since we have something planned every single weekend from now till the end of August! Lots of fun trips we are trying to squeeze in before my "do not travel far" 32 week suggestion- in which I will be laying on the beach in Port Aransas at 32 weeks. Yeah, I'm such a rebel ;) So I just wanted to update of getting ready for little Miss Ruby (finally picked a name!)...

She is a dancing queen and I can feel her move all throughout the day, which has still not lost it's novelty. Best.thing.ever. Now she is kicking strong enough that you can see movement on the outside of my stomach which is freeeaky and reminds me a little too much of a certain scene from Aliens...

Bump shot!


The nursery is coming along. Got the crib ready and everything else is close enough I feel good about it. Still have to finish the art work, figure out what I'm going to do for a changing table, and organize the closet. The room will be pretty empty because the closet is ginormous so I'm just going to have most everything in there.
It's not done, but here's what we got so far...



One if the pieces of art I made her, the other wall has a bunch of frames on it with some art we are working on slowly but surely. It's been really fun to come up with stuff and work on it together.


We talk about Ruby every single day and how excited we are to meet her. It has been so fun just fantasizing about what she will look like and her personality. We've been feeling like uber responsible adults lately, bought a super practical family car (yeah, that 1 car family business made me nervous-in case of emergency Andy needs more than his bike), got ourselves some life insurance, and lots of research on like every baby product out there. Whew! Lots of preparation to keep us busy but we are also trying to do lots of fun stuff and hang out with our friends a lot and soak up our last child-less summer.

Can't wait to love on our sweet little girl.

  1. Great update! I have lots of comments:

    1) The first time I saw a baby move in someone's tummy was at work during a meeting. I jumped and almost screamed when I saw it. I had never seen something so amazing.

    2) Did you make the mobile?! I saw one of those and really wanted to make one, but never got a chance.

    3)I love the picture you made! This little girl is so lucky to have you for her momma. :)

  2. Thanks girl! Yeah, the movement is for sure freaky and wonderful at the same time. I did make the mobile- it seems like everyone and their dog has made one of them online, so I joined the club!

  3. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of the movie Alien when seeing my unborn child moving.
