Bring on the Third Trimester!

I can't believe we're into the third trimester already!



Baby B. is over 2 pounds now!  


And the little bugger is kicking and dancing around in there, keeping very active!  Nic has been able to feel it move, and actually if you watch at the right time, you can see my tummy move. 


Nic and I took a birthing class at the hospital here in Ames over the last three weeks.  It was full of good information and Nic's homework is to practice massage and other relaxing techniques on me.  :)


It's crazy to think that in three short months, our family and our lives will change forever.  Nic and I are going to make sure we have lots of date nights since it will never be just the two of us again. We are so excited to share our lives with a beautiful son or daughter!

Anything like me?

We are constantly wondering what our baby will be like and if 'Pumpkin' will take after me or Nic.  This song by Brad Paisley is a great illustration of our thoughts (well, maybe more of Nic's thoughts, but you get the idea):

Have a listen while you view some photos and read stories of me and Nic as kids - who do you think the baby will take after?

 

What a sweet smile!  From what I hear Nic was a great baby - very active before most babies' time.  I recall a story about climbing up the table and then up the chair sitting on the table.....!  Yikes!

It was destiny that I'd go to NW I think. What school pillow and school colors should we have our baby wear?

If our child is very messy, it definitely is a trait of Nic's.....!  :)







We each had our activities- wonder what our child will like to do?

I definitely see Nic taking our kid fishing!




Will it like the outdoors as much as Nic does?

Will it love sports like its parents did? (yes, Dad, cheering IS a sport!!)

Will it be active and fearless like its father? (so many horror stories about that 4-wheeler!) 

Or will it be shy and geeky like its mother?


I think everyone would agree with me that if our baby ends up an angel of a child, it takes after its mother!

Of course I married Nic for a reason, and if it has his heart and genuine personality, I'll be a proud mommy!
