31 Week Appointment

I'm not sure what's cuter... watching Baby B hiccup during the ultrasound OR watching him take two big yawns and then instantly fall fast asleep (once the hiccups were over of course). It's so overwhelming how much I'm in love with him already... every little move he made during the ultrasound today made my heart skip a beat. I think I must have asked Dustin a hundred times "Did you see that? Dear, did you see THAT??" I can't imagine what it's going to feel like the first time we get to hold him in our arms.

Our appointment went really well today- everything is looking great! Baby B's heartheart is a strong 150. It was in the 140s, but the doctor said it's normal for it to go up the last few weeks. We were able to watch him (reconfirmed it is definitely a "him") for a good 20+ minutes today during the ultrasound, which was awesome!! I was a little bummed because he was so active in the beginning... but when the doctor was ready to take a 3D video, Baby B decided it was time for a nap. Oh well, I guess we'll have lots of time for home movies in a few weeks. Check out these precious pictures of him sleeping with his hand by his face. So cute!!

Happy Birthday Dustin!

Dustin's b-day was yesterday and we had a great little celebration at home and then went out to a nice dinner with our friends Chris & Kimberly. It was also Chris' b-day on Saturday! The celebration is continuing this weekend when we go out to dinner with Matt & Amy, who ALSO have birthdays this week!! And Laurie's birthday is Saturday... but her and Rob will be back east so we won't be able to celebrate until next year (love you Laurie!!). Lots of December birthdays!! Just think, only about 9 more weeks until we'll be celebrating another birthday... Baby Bradley's!!!

What A Difference 4 Months Makes

Kara had her babyshower last weekend, which was a blast (although the "poopy diaper" game will not be played at my shower!!). Check out these belly shots- what a difference 4 months makes!! :-)

Dustin's Holiday Party

We did it!! When Dustin told me he volunteered to have his company holiday party (50 real estate agents) at our house this year I almost fell over... but, everything turned out wonderful and I think people had a really good time. The best part was it was like a "complimentfest" for Dustin and I. Everyone was so impressed with the kitchen cabinets (yes he got them finished just in the nick of time) and all of Dustin's other projects. Everyone also kept telling me how good I look, which never gets old when you're almost 8 months pregnant and feel as large as the house! :-)

Check out the pictures below of the house decorated for the party. Thank goodness Martha Stewart (aka Dustin's Mom) came over to help us decorate. We couldn't have pulled it off without all the help from his parents. Thank you!!

Office Holiday Party

Dustin and I had a great time last night at my company holiday party. The party was downtown overlooking Petco Park- amazing views!!

Nobody freak out- the last picture is just a joke!!! My friend Jamie thought it would be funny to pose with the beer bottle... and it was. The best part is the girl looking at me like I'm crazy. Ha ha.

Putting Together the Crib & the NEW Nursery :-)

The nursery construction is complete! I'm so thrilled with how it turned out!! We love the new room!! Dustin even put together the crib last night- I needed to take measurements for mom who has been busy sewing away making a bed skirt, curtains, boppy pillow cover, etc (THANK YOU MOM!!). I can't wait to get everything put together- it's going to look amazing. Next step- painting the room (poor Dustin's "to-do" list gets longer by the day). :-)

Birch Aquarium

Dustin and I took Ava to the Birch Aquarium the other day and had a wonderful time. :-)
