26 weeks & 3 days

Here I am, growing and growing...It seems like I'm carrying really low relative to some other mommies and mommies-to-be that I know, but I guess it's a girl thing - all my friends have boys in the hopper. But, I'm not overly concerned..everyone is different I suppose. We're still stuck on a middle name. Anyone out there is welcome to vote on a few we've narrowed down so far. Ok, here it goes...Ashlynn, Brooke, Naomi/Noemi, Hayden, Erin & Chanel. I know, not as narrow as you thought right? Well, it's tough..what can I say? We're still open to other name suggestions should some other name blow us away, get your thinking caps on let us know! I am very, very lucky that everything about my pregnancy so far has been wonderful, not a bad symptom to date!! Ok, except for the occasional heartburn. But I'll take that any day over some of the other horrible side affects associated with pregnancy, I thank my lucky stars everyday trust me. I'm so happy that Isabella is kicking away now and getting us more and more excited for the day she finally arrives and we can hold her in our arms. We're strongly considering doing the 3/4D ultrasound but they say 27-32wks is the best time to do it, so we're sitting tight for the moment. Also, my mom needs reassurance that these ultrasounds aren't harming the baby - I keep telling her 'no' but she needs to hear it from a medical professional to feel comfortable I guess. James is the cutest dad-to-be and he is so excited for our little girl. As I suspected she would, Isabella's already got him wrapped around her finger! I can't wait to see them together and how cute that will be to see all those 'daddy's little girl' moments.

Isabella's Room Makeover - So Far

Here are some pics of Isabella's beautiful room! We've got a ways to go but it's coming together nicely and we're excited to fill it up with more color, more furniture and her beautiful Sugar Plum bedding set! James and I slaved away on doing the border and all the little details while on vacation last week..it was a blast, we had a lot of fun!!

2nd Ultrasound Appt

We had our 2nd ultrasound appointment this afternoon. We're technically 23wks and 5 days, however the sonographer told me she thinks I'm 24wks and 1 day..we'll just have to see about that. It did however, give me more confidence that my intuition is right, that Isabella is going to be a December baby rather than a January baby. Last visit, the doctor was hesitant to say girl 100%, only that a girl was his best guess, along with the sonographer. This time, we had a different sonographer perform the ultrasound and she was good about getting down to business - confirmed, it's a girl; we saw the structure of the labia and everything! Thank goodness, we just spent a bunch of time decorating our baby girl's nursery last week while on vacation, whew ; ) In case you're wondering how big our little one is..1lb,7oz and almost 12 inches long!!!
