Baby Kicks

Cutest little (teeeeeny tiny) shoes I have EVER seen!

I think I am going to give birth to a soccer player in October...as much as I don't like soccer, never watched a game or let alone ever kicked the ball myself...I am pretty sure he is going to be amazing at the sport.  Every day when I wake up he gives me a good kick.  After dinner and right before bed I feel him too.  It is a nice relief to know my baby boy is okay in there, but holy toledo...I feel like I have the next David Beckham in my belly (and for the record, I just googled "famous soccer player" to remember his name...AND if he looks anything like David Beckham I will lock him in a closet as if he were my 16 year old little girl!).  


I am now able to see him kick and can't wait for Jonathan to see too.  Not much has changed over the last few weeks, I just feel SO much bigger!  I haven't experienced any swelling yet, but I do my best to keep my feet propped up and I drink a lot of water.  Next week I have my 28 week appointment and do my gestational diabetes testing.  Crossing my fingers that it goes okay!!  Only 2 more days until I hit my third trimester!  Time is FLYING by!!  27 weeks down...13 to go!


Last week was a crazy week at work.  We had a huge corporate visit and I clocked over 50 hours.  Oh and did I mention I had a cold?  And that I couldn't take anything except for cough drops....but we NAILED the visit and I was able to catch up on sleep after it was over!  I took on a much lighter load at work this week and I am catching up on R&R.  Jonathan comes home Saturday and the next weekend we have a last minute, mini "babymoon" planned.  Just the two of us (well 3 I guess!).  I can't WAIT!  I might just leave the iPhone's at home!  Sorry honey...

Ready for our Corporate Visit!  Rocking the bump...and the "bathroom portrait"

I am trying to keep up with emailing friends and family, but if you haven't received anything it's because I don't have your email address!!  Message me if you want to be added to my list!  I thought I covered everyone...but I am still getting a few messages.  We are registered at Babies R Us (search Sara Swanson/San Clemente).  Anything ordered through our registry will be delivered to our house :-)  Also, we won't be traveling back east until after he is born...mama gets too uncomfortable on the airplane now!!
