Our baby girl's first shopping spree!

Well, as soon as Neal and I found out about our little baby girl, we headed to the mall for her first shopping spree to pick out an outfit! Neal was so cute telling the saleslady all about our little girl! We both could NOT stop smiling, we are so excited to have our baby girl. I can't wait to meet her.

Her cute summer dress that we picked out for her!

Here are a couple pictures of the other outfits that we found for her, a bathing suit, a cute onsie that says "natural beauty," another onsie that says "tiny tadpole" with some green cargo pants! Can't wait to dress her up in the outfits!

Here are some sheets that we found that we like! Just to have extras around for oopsies!

Below are gifts from generous family members, she is going to be so spoiled!

From her Uncle Greg and Aunt Brandi, this precious dress!

From her Grandparents H. (yikes that sounds like my grandparents name!), a sundress with a sunhat, perfect for this summer.

From her Aunt Kandace and Uncle Matthew a warm winter snuggle suit, I can't wait to snuggle her up in this!

And then another onsie from her Aunt Kandace and Uncle Matthew! Love it!

Here are a couple more of Neal's B-day gifts that I found the pictures for!

Here is a charger station from my parents, it has been great at keeping us organized and now Neal does not wake me up at 5am asking "have you seen my cell phone?"


Here is a "gag" gift from Brandi and Greg for baby!


Here is Neal's diaper bag (aka manpurse), lookin good sweetie! My baby girl has got to travel in style with her daddy!

Birthday!

Well, I had a great 28th birthday on Wednesday. I received the best gift ever by getting to find out we are having a girl! It was an amazing experience to see her moving around on the ultrasound. Her little hands and feet were so awesome and when we found out she is a girl - words can't describe the feelings I had inside me.

And then we went to Minsky's for pizza, beer and KU basketball. We squeaked by Nebraska...

Kari made an awesome cake as you've already probably read about in the previous post. Here are some pictures of my awesome gifts!

Lindsay got me these Doctor bookends - nice gift!

Mammaw was thoughtful with this book - I love "The Expectant Father" and this is by the same author!

The family went in together to get me this awesome TomTom GPS for my car - now I'll never get lost, right?

Unfortunately we didn't get pics of all the gifts but everyone was soooo generous! Thank you all sooo much!

Week 18

Here is the info from the bump for week 18:

Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.

and here is me, mid-week last week, might be getting a bit of a belly swell....exciting!


Still feeling the baby every now and then (some bumps and pops), mostly when driving or sitting on the computer at work! Can't wait for Neal to start feeling them, he has tried to listen for the heartbeat with his stethoscope but no luck yet! REALLY looking forward to our big ultrasound.

Our first baby furniture purchase...

Here are pictures of our first baby furniture purchase! We ended up getting the glider and bassinet from the mom of the flower girl in our wedding! Small world.....

It is the perfect color for either girl or boy and we love the bassinet to have the baby sleep in our room the first few months!

We are also getting a beautiful sleigh crib from the mom of the ring bearer in our wedding! I will post pictures when we get that...should be next weekend! We did not think that we would need to clean out the guest room so quickly to make room for baby furniture, but we are so ready and excited!

Weekend fun!

I am bummed Neal is on-call this weekend but I have plans with Daly to see Bride Wars and grab dinner. I am really looking forward to that. Also, I am babysitting my parent's new puppy, Zoe this weekend and it is so fun to have a little puppy around the house. She is helping me to prepare for a little baby, haha! Here are pictures of her with the big puppies, Avery and Tucker. They are getting along pretty well...Avery and Tucker are even sharing their toys with her!

Here she is eating Avery and Tucker's BIG bone!

Playing with Avery and Tucker!



Look at her, so cute!



I even get to dress her up in outfits!

Poll time!

Added a poll to see if people think that we are having a girl or boy, only 12 more days until we find out!!!! Yeah!
