How far along: 27 weeks Baby is the size of a: Head of Cauliflower Total weight gain/measurements: 26 big ones Maternity clothes: yes! I feel so much better when I dress the bump in clothes that are made for preggo women - and I have to say, maxi and sun dresses/skirts have become my new best friend and don't make me feel so confined. I am on the hung for a perfect shower dress...Any of you ladies have a favorite...

We’re Getting Ready

Dan has been super busy (between World Cup Soccer matches :)) putting together some of the bigger gifts we've already received for Baby Boy. We received our Road Runner Stroller, which I'm in love with, and car seat combo from Mom & Dad. (Thank you Grandma & Grandpa) And they also got us our awesome Pack n' Play so that the little guy has somewhere to sleep when we're visiting grandparents and aunts and uncles! And, for when the little...

Nursery Preview

We did it! We really, really did it! (And we didn't kill each other :) ) We have finally finished painting the nursery. It took much longer than expected, and much more patience than we thought it would, but we got all the stripes up and pulled the painters tape off the other day and were so excited to see how great the stripes look! In progress... After 2.5hrs of taping and painting stripes Then we were able to put...

Week 26

So, I've been horribly slacking on updating out chalkboards in the house. The one upstairs with the weekly facts reads Week 24 (thank god we're moving along!) and the one in the kitchen reads Week 25. I promise to have an updated board for Week 27 since these past weeks there have been lots of changes and growth and I want to be sure to have this documented. We've been super busy since the shower, working on the nursery and...

Celebration for Baby Stern

We had an amazing weekend at Dan's parents this past, to start off Week 26! As I mentioned previously, Nancy, Megan, Gretchen and Maddy had been working hard on all the details, but they truly outdid themselves with this little "garden party." There were many small details that added the feeling of summer to this party: How adorable are these favors? There was one at every place setting! They are little succulents with sea shells on the top. Such a...

We got our photos back from Stephanie last night from the maternity shoot a few weeks ago. I'm blown away by all (80+) of them. I don't even know where to being for printing some for the house. Just wanted to show a few of our favorites! (Apologies now for the picture overload!) ^^Absolutely love this one!^^ Which ones should we print? What are your favorites? We'd love to hear!

Week 24 – End of the Second Trimester

Holy Moly - I don't know about all of you who have been following our blog, but I feel like I've just blinked and we're now ending the Second Trimester! I can still remember thinking in January and talking to Dan, saying, "things will get busy once school is done, there's so much we'll have to do this summer to get ready for the baby." Well, it's here! School has ended (as of Wednesday) and today (Thursday) is our last...
