30 weeks!

oh monkies! i almost forgot to post this! (dont worry the picture was taken at 30 weeks and i will post a picture of 31 weeks shortly!)

30 weeks...10 left!

its super hard to believe. we have been so busy that all of a sudden this baby is going to be here!

personally, i miss sleeping on my stomach, eating raw fish (oh sushi I miss you!) and being able to walk up stairs without getting so stinking tired!

there have been some bonuses...like burgers...ice cream and other super tasty things :)

i'm definitely getting bigger...i've received a few "wow, your belly is big!" comments.

always awesome.

and no you cant measure it

well, here's the picture...enjoy :)

by the way medium bird is doing great. super active. loves to kick, punch my right ribs just as i am falling asleep...or lets face it, all day long.

 oh, brandon rested the remote on my belly last night. mbd then attempted to kick the remote off.

sweet

more of a side view...with my "just take the picture brandon" face :)

hello!

27 weeks, can you believe it? i can't! 

 being silly...i'm not the biggest fan of pictures...but i do enjoy ruining them :)

a normal one...can you see the space needle...way in the background?

so seattle!

pure awesomeness!

we have been having AMAZING sunsets lately.

i love it...i just wish that telephone pole was somewhere else

eggs, anyone?

brandon brought home fresh eggs from a lady at work.

two of them are duck eggs...can you guess what ones?

i hope they are yummy!

we are off to portland this weekend with r and c! it should be fun! the weather is supposed to be nice and we have quite the line up of restaurants to visit :) hopefully some food trucks too!

:)

last weekend

we had visitors :)

garth and mary came out on thursday afternoon and stayed til sunday.

the weather was at its finest!

friday, we zipped around town while brandon was at work,

buying the baby some very cute clothes!

ate some delicious food,

and enjoyed an

awesome sunset!

we spent saturday walking greenlake, checking out the stroller scene, 

went to the farmers market for some yummy veggies for dinner and 

of course to check out the flowers!

went stroller shopping (more options than buying a car!)

the trip was short but we loved every moment :)

 

happy tulips

oh how we miss tulip time!

26 weeks

26 weeks! oh my! its hard to believe we are over half way to having a

baby!

crazy!

originally, i thought it would be fun to do a weekly update but then i was tired, busy and thought the pictures really weren't much fun.

but now the belly is popping out a bit more each week :)

so i am going to try to document this wonderful journey

26 weeks
i have been super worn out...thanks to a blood test i found out that i am super anemic! awesome...iron pills here i come! hopefully they will energize me :) i mean, i love taking three hours naps but goodness there are places to go, things to do, people to see....

this little baby is bouncing all over the place!
its fun to sit on the couch and watch as my stomach goes one way then the next.

this week was the first time someone i didn't know asked if i was expecting!
it was kind of weird...i sort of liked when it was a secret and no one knew.
its fun to share...as long as no stranger tries to touch my stomach! ;)

Its been a while...

we have been BUSY! how about you?

i think every spring/summer is full of fun, lots of activities and plans.

but this year...holy cow! almost every weekend is full!

we have been bouncing around the seattle area so that's why there hasn't been much action on the blog :)

so what have we been up to?

youth sunday at church

looking at new apartments

planning for upcoming events

youth group retreat

sleep and more sleep

its been busy but fun :)
