36 Weeks and 6 Days

Wow we are already into the month of April. Sunday we had the opportunity to take the hospital tour. It was nice so we know where to go when this baby girl plans on making her arrival. Also nice to see what the rooms look like and really learn of somethings of what to expect. Things are right on schedule. Today she measured 36 inches and her heartbeat was 160 bpm. I am feeling good and some days I get stuff done and some I don't. I put my guess at April 14th of when she will be born. I am thinking she will be here closer to her due date or even after. But who knows she really could come any day now. We are excited and cant't wait to meet her. My inlaws are calling her Nickalina Daniella. Wonder if it will fit her. Just kidding!

I also have some wonderful news in the braces deparment. I am supposed to get them off next Tuesday the 14th. See I knew the 14th of April was going to be a great day for me. I had them put on August 22,2007. I am so happy to see my brand new smile. They have been a pain but so worth it on so many levels. I will have to post some before and after pictures.

Love It

So my sister finished up baby girls quilt. I absolutely love it. I am crossing my fingers that I get it in the mail sometime this week. My niece Jessie keeps stealing it and was even caught sleeping with it.

Looking Good

So yesterday I went to the doctor. Little baby girl is about 3 lbs right now. She is the right length for her due date. Also I am gainging weight at the right pace. So my pregnancy is going very smooth. Her heart beat was 170 beats per minute. I can't believe I am 31 weeks pregnant really she will be here before we know it.

So my sister Heather is making the bedding. It is turning out beautiful. I think we did a great job picking out the fabric. I love it! Thanks so much Heather. I can't wait to see it in person and put it in the nursery.

Happy New Year

Well 2008 was good to us. Lets see what 2009 brings. We are excited to know that this year we are finally going to be parents and look forward to all that goes along with that. Also looking forwards for my sister to come out and visit.



We had a wonderful Christmas eve. My parents came over and we had a Chili dinner and we read the Christmas Story. What are everyone's Christmas traditions? Then on Christmas we went to Dan's and watched them open presents. In the gift exchange my mother inlaw had me. She bought the softest blanket and sheep for me and the baby. Also she bought my faveorite gift which was a stethoscope. We love it because its so nice to be able to hear the baby's heartbeat whenever we want. Dan's brother Tim is on his mission in Austria/Germany. It was nice to be able to talk to him on the phone. Then we came home and opened gifts. Later we went over to my parents house to enjoy dinner. Over all we had a wonderful Christmas.
