24 weeks

This is a BIG week for our baby girl. At 24 the baby can first survive outside of the womb....obviously she needs to stay in there and grow for another few months, but I am very excited to reach this milestone. She weighs about a 1.5lbs and is the length of an ear of corn. Her little ears are getting sharper and she can hear loud sounds. Nick was talking to her last night...but she refused to cooperate and give daddy a kick. Her adorable little face is fully formed and complete with eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair.

We have been very busy at our house with improvement projects, baby prep, and summertime fun!

Carli and I got impatient to see the paint color of the nursery on the walls and broke out our paint brushes. We love it and now I am anxious to get the rest of the room painted...just have to find the time.



I had a work dinner this week at Hyde Park and was fortunate enough to get just a taste of this GIANT red velvet cake. Every pregnant woman's dream!!

Fun with Lily! The girls played so well together...it was a little sneak peak at how Carli will treat her little sis.  So sweet!

Nothing better than a sprinkler at sunset!

The crib should arrive in the next few days and we are shopping around for curtains, bedding, and other sweet baby must-haves. It has really started to sink in that this little one will be here in about 100 days! I can't wait to meet her!!
