Updated Belly Shots

I can't believe we will be 37 weeks and full term tomorrow! I'm so ready for this little girl to get here. I went to the doctor on Friday and she estimated her at 5 1/2- 6 lbs. We also did a short ultrasound and her head is definitely in the down position. Hopefully she will decide to make her appearance into this world sooner rather than later! We ended up in labor and delivery last week because I was having contractions every 10 minutes, but it turned out I was just dehydrated. But they did tell us that we are 1cm dilated and 90% effaced. So hopefully that means she will be here before her Nov 8 due date, but who knows!

Adventures in Babysitting

Some photos from the night we got to babysit Bill and Co's kids while they were at a concert. We had a great time at incredible pizza. But I was exhausted by the time the night was over!

Tylie when we pulled up to Incredible Pizza: "Are we going in there?" Yes, we are. "Oh thank you so much!"

So thankful my sister and my mom came to help!

Brenden had a blast!

We moved!!!

We finally sold our house and bought a new house. Within three weeks we sold our house, bought a new house and moved in. Talk about stress! And of course we had to move on the hottest day of the year in August. But I'm happy to say that we are settled and could not be happier about the move!

Bye Bye Old House!

Hello New House!

24 Weeks = 6 Months.... REALLY???

I can't believe we hit the 6 month mark!!! 24 weeks today and boy do I feel it! Brooklynn has become a VERY active little baby. She loves to move around in there and throw a bunch of kicks and punches! I wouldn't have it any other way though. It is so amazing -feeling her move and kick. I'm thinking we are going to have a little busy body on our hands. She has also decided that sitting as low as she can is the best idea ever. I am getting quite a few kicks in the bladder. So I visit the bathroom a work on pretty much an hourly basis. I know, I'm sure this is only going to get worse, but I just had to mention it. Also, I'm over this heatwave in case anyone was wondering! I swollen, hot, sweaty and miserable by the end of the day. I now understand all the sympathetic looks being thrown my way. Yes, it sucks, but oh well, its a little late to do anything about it now! :) I go to the OB on Wednesday and I can't wait to hear her little precious heartbeat again.

I do have a funny story to tell. Silly husband. Last Saturday morning I told him that we were going to register for the baby. He said "huh?" and I said, "you know like we registered when we got married?" and he acted like he understood and then said, "shouldn't we wait until she gets here?" to which I explained that people wouldn't know what to get us at the showers, and then there was a long silence. And then an "Ooooooohhhhh....I get it." He thought we had to go down to the courthouse to get her "registered"!! Gosh I just love my husband, he makes life so funny and enjoyable.

A Quick Trip to KC in the HEAT.

I have never been so hot and sweaty in my whole life. YUCK. Stroud's in 90+ degree weather...Whose idea was that?!?!!?!? Oh yeah...it was mine....
The moustache brothers.

Matt and Co Co

We had such a great time in KC, can't wait to see the family again. We love you guys!

Dinner with Dallin and Spencer

So glad we got to spend some time with Spencer and Dallin! We love you guys!!

We are having a.....

BABY GIRL!!!!!!

In case you haven't heard.... we found out that we are having a GIRL!! I'm so excited that I have a little shopping partner...and Matt is thinking it's time to expand his gun collection. :)

As of today I am exactly 22 weeks pregnant and I'm going to give you an update on what's been happening. The morning sickness ended around week 11 which was such a blessing! I feel like a human being again! I felt her start kicking around week 18 and Matt felt her kick for the very first time last night! My favorite thing in the whole world is to feel her kick. She is such a little miracle and a gift from God. We could not bee more excited.

Now about the ultrasound.... we went in and the ultrasound technician said that everything looks perfect. Then she said, "I know what you are having...would you like to know?" And Matt's response? "Please say it's a boy, please say it's a boy." "You're having a GIRL!" and to that Matt said...."Are you sure there is not a wiener in there somewhere? Even a little one?" Silly husband. He has gotten more used to the idea of having a girl even though he had a minor meltdown when I showed him the bedding I really liked... "But it's PINK!" Yes, husband, that's because she is a girl.

We have also pick out a name for our little sweetie pie... Brooklynn Kaye Brady. Kaye is my Mom's middle name. We couldn't think of a better way to show my mom how much we love and appreciate her than naming our little angel after her.

We are still on track for our due date of November 8. To date I have only gained 12 pounds, which I am pretty excited about. The doctor says that she is growing perfectly and that everything is going perfect!

Our Beautiful Baby Girl
She turned and looked at us. I can't wait to meet her!!!

A shot of her back and spine... and no, that's not her ear on the side of her head...it's the umbilical chord. I was terrified that we were having a Shrek baby, but the doctor assured me we were not.

Our little angel. We can't wait to meet you Brooklynn!!!
