This is going FAST!!!!!!

I CANNOT believe it is December OR that I am in in my eighth month of pregnancy!  Let me get right to the belly pics that I have been remiss in posting!!

 28 weeks                                                                     32.5 weeks (last night)

Our little peanut is growing!  Now I'm feeling lots of playful movement from inside my belly, and I love it!!  Though every time I put daddy's hand on my belly it stops....Rob has that calming effect on me too :) 

 

We JUST took maternity photos with the super talented professional photographer and wonderful friend Lori Berkowitz !!  I highly suggest capturing this magical time on film.  It was fun to do as a couple and what a special way to remember this miracle!  I'll post a sneak peak when I get one!

 

We have been busily getting the baby's room ready for his/her arrival in late January and were VERY fortunate to have my parents' help over Thanksgiving.  We had a great time with them setting up the crib, sewing curtains (my mom did that....we just selected fabric), trying out gliders...Grandpa almost fell asleep in most of them, so we can't trust his opinion :) and just enjoying their company.  Sadly, we won't be able to go to New Mexico for Christmas this year because it's too close to our due date.  Happily, we had a great time with my parents while they were here!  My mom brought a fantastic array of my baby memorabilia (this is where I get my pack rack tendencies).  It was so fun to see my baby pictures and even more fun to see my parents' hairstyles & wardrobe!!  Check this out, a pair of shoes my Grandma Isabel gave me in the ORIGINAL box!!

 

 

Now, before and after nursery pictures are forthcoming.  However, while we put on the finishing touches and mom makes the full transition from office to nursery (AKA cleans her stuff out!)  here's my favorite corner.

 

This little spot represents four generations of my family.  The circular mirrors belonged to my Grandma Isabel and hung in her house for as long as I can remember.  My mom bought her grand baby the adorable monkey lamp shade over the Thanksgiving weekend, the very existence of the room is my (and Rob's) vision for our child and baby Jaekel will complete the circle in her/his crib here. 

 

In case there was any doubt how excited my parents are to be grandparents (and even more exciting...twice over as Andrea is also pregnant!!) or you missed this photo when it hit Facebook.....

 

 

 More to come.............
