Week 33 Pictures!

Week 33!!!

We are officially under 7 weeks until Baby Z comes!!! Last weekend we had our first baby shower and I had an incredible time!! It was fantastic seeing family and friends for such a joyous occasion!!

Jess and Jen did an amazing job planning the shower, we played fun games, had some great food, and opened presents. Tony and I received such a generous assortment of baby items! The first thing I did when I got home was wash and put everything away! It definitely made Tony and I even more excited for Baby Z to come!

This week, for the first time, Tony and I were actually able to see Baby Z's foot move across my stomach, it was the neatest thing that I have ever seen!!! Baby Z is getting so big (over 4lbs and 17inches!!!) and when he/she moves, my entire stomach moves! It's almost like Baby Z is telling us to pay attention to him too!! :)

Today, Tony and I took maternity pictures to capture this special time in our lives! The pictures above are a preview, but there are more to come!! A special thanks to our photographer, Melissa, who took time out of her super busy schedule! :)

Week 30!

It's week 30 already!! I'm always amazed how fast time is going! This weekend Tony and I made a practice run to the hospital to prepare ourselves for the big day! We are definitely glad that we made the practice run since the GPS took us all over downtown Minneapolis! The hospital bag is also packed and ready to go!

We also finished Baby Z's room by hanging the final room decals and I washed all of the baby's clothes and bedding. Now all we need is Baby Z!

Tony and I are really enjoying this special time in our lives preparing for the little one, and I know I will always cherish this amazing time! Baby Z is almost 3 1/2 pounds and 15 inches long already!! I can tell that the baby is sleeping longer periods of time, but then he or she is awake and active much, much longer! The kicks are getting so much stronger and Baby Z often kicks back when I tap on my stomach :)
