Maternity Pictures

About a week ago, Cody and I had some maternity pictures taken by Wendi Kuhl.  Cody and I aren't exactly naturals in front of the camera, and we felt like big goofballs the whole time....but Wendi worked her magic and the pictures turned out beautiful.  I am so glad that I have the pictures to look back on and remember this amazing time in our lives.

32 Weeks




Now that my baby shower has come and gone, the past two weeks (as well as the next 8) are all about getting ready for miss Baileigh.  Cody and I have been working hard in the nursery, and it is pretty much done.  We are just waiting for the rug we ordered to come in, and a few other small details.  But all in all, it turned out beautiful and we both feel a little more at ease knowing it's done.  We officially feel ready for her arrival...so now it's the hard part - waiting!!  I'm sure the next few weeks will fly by, but it seems like she can't get here soon enough.  We are both dying to meet our little girl.












Thankfully, my pregnancy has continued to go smoothly.  Yes, I feel fat and tired by the end of the day and I can barely sleep - but I think compared to most I have had it pretty easy.  I now see my doctor every two weeks.  I had an appointment today and everything continues to check out good.  The doctor said the baby has already moved to the correct position - head down - so we're just praying she stays put!  As much as I love feeling her move around, I am looking forward to the day where I don't feel like she is going to snap my right rib.  She must have her feet nestled up there pretty well, because for the past month or so she spends most of her day kicking and pushing on my rib in the exact same spot.  Although, as bothersome as it is, I'm sure I will miss it one day.


This past week at work, my coworkers treated me to a beautiful lunch and baby shower.  I got some very nice and generous gifts, as well as a beautiful diaper cake and delicious cupcakes made by my boss!  As beautiful as it all was, I felt a little sad at the end of the day because I really am going to miss the ladies I work with immensely.  Every time I think about not seeing them everyday, I start to cry!  I will definitely be visiting them often with my Baileigh!

Baby Shower!


Last weekend was my baby shower, and my sisters really outdid themselves in planning it.  They have been working hard for weeks, and it really showed.  There was love put into every last detail.  There really is no way I could accurately describe it, so instead I will just share lots of photos!  Enjoy!

The cake, and the diaper cake!
