Happy Halloween

One gigantic belly

38 weeks! We survived the first big snowstorm of the year with no early arrival of Baby Reid. Two feet of snow, big changes in temperature-I would want to stay where it is nice and warm too! The past month has been wonderful. My baby shower on October 17 was so much fun! Thanks to everyone who had a hand in it-hosting, attending, sending gifts. As I've said before, Baby Reid is already so loved!

And the snow wasn't finished at this point!

Health-wise everything continues to be normal. The baby is head down and according to my last visit to the doctor, the baby is engaged (I didn't even know it was dating-ha!) so it could be any time now. Congratulations to our friends Alissa and Tai on the arrival of their adorable baby girl Elliott who came two weeks early. I wouldn't mind if ours came a little early since I'm starting to really get uncomfortable, but two weeks would mean this weekend so I don't mind if he/she holds out a bit longer.

Everything is ready to go-the nursery is finished, the bags are packed, the car seat installed. Here are some pictures of the baby furniture before and after. Brian was pretty proud of his handiwork-rightfully so. We are so anxious to meet our baby and to introduce him/her to all of you! Just waiting for baby!

At Megan and Jeremy's wedding-Sept. 19, 32 weeks


We just passed the 32 week mark on Friday which was a nice little milestone. Friday we had an ultrasound to check to see how well the baby is growing. Everything looks great! According to the doctor (although he repeated to us several times that there is a large margin of error) the baby weighs 4.2 pounds. That put him/her a tiny bit ahead of schedule but not much so our due date remains November 13. The ultrasound also showed that Baby Reid is moving around well, although I could have told him that without the ultrasound.



Hiking in Evergreen, 29 weeks

It has been a busy month for us! We have been taking lots of classes-prepared childbirth, infant care and Brian took Daddy Boot Camp last week. He actually enjoyed it and learned some new things which he was pretty excited about. We've also had lots of visitors (Scott and Lindsey, the Reids) which was lots of fun. Only two months to go, we can't wait!

Welcome to our Blog

Hi everyone! Brian and I decided to create this blog so we could easily share pictures and thoughts with our friends and family. We're new to this whole blogging thing (other than I really enjoy reading friends' blogs) but hopefully we can figure it out. Here is a picture and video of Baby Reid who is expected to arrive sometime around November 13th. We are so excited about our first baby! We aren't finding out the sex which has been fun and frustrating at the same time!


Here's a belly picture from 26 1/2 weeks and an ultrasound photo from 22 weeks. So far the pregnancy has been great. No sickness at all, although I'm starting to have heartburn and insomnia of course now that I'm in my 3rd trimester. People talk about babies kicking a lot as future soccer players-we think we might have a future gymnast with all the summersaulting going on. Thanks for reading our blog and we'll try to keep adding more as we get closer to the big day.
