30 Weeks

WOW! That's all I can say. We only have 10 weeks left and we finally, for the first time feel like we are in the home stretch.

Landyn has been very active and she is a very strong baby. Her movements are bigger, stronger and definitely cover more area. I feel her sometimes pushing around my hip bone and my ribs at the same time - it's crazy!

I've been working in my classroom this week and going to more trainings for my principal's certification. After this week the summer will fly by with showers, birthday parties, more trainings, then the kids come back - and then our little angel :)

I go to the doctor on Thursday where Iwill tell Dr. Thompson about my frequent headaches lately. They haven't been horrible, but enough to bother me.

We hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed week!

Hiccups

We felt Landyn's hiccups for the first time this morning! They were a lot faster than ours, but it was so cute! I just wanted to give her water or scare her out of them - haha! I hear they get hiccups a lot and I think it's adorable!

Also, today is our 2nd anniversary and we are so excited to spend the day together! Julie, our friend, helped us realize that this is the last anniversary we will have without needing a babysitter! Eye opening!

We hope everyone has a blessed day!

P.S. There are 5 pictures of our shoot posted on bindingimage.smugmug.com! They are cute, but we are anxious to see the rest!

Sneak Peek

This is so amazing! Here is a sneak peek of our little girl and her big movements! I am watching tv and start feeling her move. I've tried to get this for a long time, but she seems to know when she is being filmed or the camera is far away. It happened to be right next to me. I took 2 shots until I got this and it is amazing! You can see her "jerk" a little at the beginning then start her movements into the "wave" towards the end of the clip (around 1:05). Focus on the mid to left side of my belly. This is awesome! She has never done "the wave" before now :)

29 Weeks

I always thought, "When I get past 28 weeks, I will be so far along!" Well I'm here and I still feel like we have forever until Landyn gets here!

In the past week we have worked really hard to install crown moulding and we finally finished! Kris cut and nailed it up (the hardest part), I painted it and Kris painted the walls to make a clean line (also hard). I hung some of the wall decor and made a set of decorative cubes with colorful flowers to add, which are shown in some of the pictures. Here are some pictures of Landyn's room. It's coming together, but we are still trying to figure out what else it needs.

Hopefully our maternity pictures will be available this week so keep checking http://www.bindingimage.smugmug.com/!

As far as our well being, everyone is doing great. Since Fiteness camp I have made a point to walk each day and really start watching what I am eating. Landyn stays active. Her head seems to be down and her butt is poking out on my left/front side. It's so cute!

Sorry I didn't get around to posting belly pics last week but here they are for week 29! You even get a front view - haha!

28 Weeks

This week has been productive, so far. I am coaching a Fitness Camp with my friend Holly this week for our students. It's really fun and keeping us busy AND active :) Kris installed crown moulding which still needs to be painted. He did a fabulous job abd I am very impressed. We are so lucky to have such a smart, handy man in the house :) I also decided not go with the bow holder and name circles that I made with all the colors. The style just doesn't go in her room. So I gave them to Rylee and made new ones that match Landyn's "style".

Originally, I didn't want to take maternity pictures, just because that's not "me". When I emailed a mom of 2 of my previous students and possibly a future student and friend of mine for her address, she responded with much more! She is finally making a business out of her passion for photography. She is trying to gain experience and wants to do a complimentary maternity session for us and give us some images for a gift! I am thrilled to be asked to be a part of this and getting excited. The shoot is tomorrow. Her name is Marisa Heymach and she is very sweet and talented. Go check out her pictures!

Landyn is very active and growing. I've seen many friends for the first time since school let out and they all can't believe how much I've "popped"! It's exciting because I've been waiting for the "is she pregnant or fat?" stage to pass :) haha!

My next doctor's appt. is Thursday. I'm thinking it's going to be fast. I'm not anxious to see the weight gain this time, but I'm finally on track :)

We hope everyone has a blessed week. Updated room pictures and Belly shots will be posted soon. I left I my camera at school today so I'll get them up asap!

Landyn's Room at Nana and Grandpa's

My mom and I spent the day picking up some things for Landyn's room at her Nana and Grandpa's house. Since she will be spending most of her time there while Mommy and Daddy are working, we had to make it special for her :) Thanks, mom for doing such a great job!

27 Weeks

We are finally in the 3rd Tirmester and can't believe it!

Since last week I had a doctor's appointment where everything went well. I will start going to the doctor every 2 weeks now. I also had the wonderful glucose test which came back normal - YAY! But I am now anemic. I've been taking an iron suppliment which now has to be doubled.

I've been working on some things for Landyns room - her name and a bow holder. I was inspired by a piece of scrapbook paper which pushed me to add more colors in the room. I'm not sure exactly what Iwill do with her name - hang above her bed or put on a shelf. I'm still working on some other decor for the room as well. I love feeling productive! Here is what I've done so far:
