50 days to go and my belly is growing so fast!





(Some photos of me today with my big belly, teddy, and Baby Giti's nursery-in-progress)

Two weeks ago my belly finally popped big. Suddenly my belly grew along other parts of my body--especially my nose, arms and feet! It's so bizarre to look at myself in the mirror because I feel like the Pillsbury Dough Boy...but it's worth it!

Bay Giti is growing so fast too! She is already 4 and a half pounds. We actually went to have a 4D ullrasound, but our silly girl hid her face in my placenta. We did get a peak at her cheeks and nose and they look just like her mommy and she has soooo much hair! We get another chance to go to a 4D-ultrasound makeup session next week and maybe this time our shy girl will show us her face.


Other news, today we attended Baby Kowalski's shower. It was a blast! It has been amazing to be pregnant with Caroline and it's going to be even more amazing that we get to raise our kids together--her son's due date is a week after Baby Giti! So exciting!

Lamaze and other classes!

We started Lamaze yesterday. After the countless movies and TV shows we have seen throughout our lifetime where we have watched the pregnant mommy doing her "hee-hee-hoo" breathing exercises while daddy coached her--it was so surreal that we were now the mommy and daddy! In the next two months we'll be taking Lamaze, Childcare Basics, Lactation, and Pain Management Class. We're trying to learn as much as we can before the little one comes in two months! In addition, Mommy started Physical Therapy for Mommies--it's helping mommy with her back pain and leg cramps and daddy's daily massages help a lot too! Next week, we get to have our hospital tour and we're going for a 4D ultrasound.
Other than the classes, we started setting up baby's nursery. So far, we've painted the walls pink, and have built the crib and changing table! Lot's of work and shopping to do in the next two months!
