30 weeks !!

Well we are at the 30 week mark. I can't believe how fast it has went by. Yet some days I feel like I have been pregnant forever. We got the belly pictures taken last week for the baby book. Angie was nice enough to come over and take them for me. (Thank you) I decided to share out favorite's. You will definitly not see any side profile shots in here. Ewww !!!! My #1 favorite picture is the one with Mark's hands on my Belly. Mark's #1 favorite is the Pink shoes and Head band. We both thought the Black shoes were are 2nd choices.

I'm getting anxious for the baby to get here. Right now I am really looking forward to the Baby Shower. It will be nice to get together with everyone. It sounds like Wendy and Jessica are planning a really nice shower. I know the food will be excellent and I can't wait to have some of the delicous cake that Linda makes. (she made our wedding cake)
Mark will be stopping in to score some food and to drop off and pick up his mom. So you will get a chance to say HI to him too. I don't know what he is going to do during the shower, but I'm sure he will find something.

Take care !

Our weekend

We went yesterday to the V.A. Hospital and spent sometime with my grandpa Wicke. While we were there we ran into Uncle Ron and Aunt Theresa. We had a nice visit and afterwards we all went to dinner. We have never done that before and it was really nice.
On our way home Mark seen a Babies R Us so we decided to stop in and check it out. I found a new favorite store. They had so many things that were adorable. It was not easy but we didn't buy anything. I have not bought anything lately because my friends have told me to wait until after the shower. I have been trying to listen. Last night when we got home we still got online to check out more fun stuff for her.
Today I have finally got Mark away from the computer so I figured out how to do something on this Blog. It was an all afternoon project but I'm finally getting the hang of this. I have more pictures that I would like to add to the slide show but until recently we haven't been big picture fans. We finally got a digital camera about 1 year ago so most of are pictures are in an album.
Enjoy the slide show!!!!!

Slide Show

2 more days !!

I can't wait to finally get the Internet at home. I only have to wait 2 more days.
In the meantime I have been working crocheting the Baby Blanket I picked out months ago. I finally found the peach yarn I have been searching for or shall I say Aunt Donna found it for me. ( Thank you again)

My birthday and our anniversary went by really fast. I can't believe how old I am getting and that we have only been married for 1 year. I guess that is what happens when you date for 11 years before you get married. Mark took me to the Olive Garden Friday (yummy) and then we went out again with my Dad's side of the family on Saturday. My Dad and his wife gave me a gift certificate for a Pedicure and a Manicure. I am so excited to use it!!! I know that sounds crazy because I have received many manicure's a pedicure's in my life but usually it has been given to me by a co-worker or a friend. Not that they were not nice but I have never experienced a real salon experience the pampering experience. I realized that when you are a real customer it is harder to book an appointment when it's not with a friend. I have to wait until Oct.11th to get in but I guess that weekend I will have a fun weekend with the Pedi/Mani and the Baby Shower.

I keep getting more and more anxious for her to get her. Mark has been saying since the last ultrasound " I wish she would hurry up and get here" I have been wanting her to just slow down and take her time on getting here. Until recently... now I can't wait for her to get here. The wait is torturous and I'm only 28 1/2 weeks. Untill next time......

The internet is on it's way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, The Internet is on it's way to our house. We have both been wanting to get the net for some time it is another one of those things that are on our to- do list before the baby gets here. The it's not that the list is long it just feels like it is never ending and expensive.

• Paint the living room ( have the paint do you think we have done it yet ??)
• Get carpet for the living room
• a new couch
• pack a bag for the hospital
• get the Internet
• plastic the windows
• wash all the baby clothes

Some of the things on the list you are probably wondering about but if you have ever been to our old house you will totally understand. Our couch is the most uncomfortable thing and trying to get off of it after laying down is hilarious well at least Mark laughs at me.

Mark has been asking me for a couple of weeks what I want to do for my birthday and our anniversary weekend. He jsut recently started to ask me about what I want for Christmas. I'm having a baby and that is my only concern right now. How romantic am I ?? Needless to say I talked Mark into just getting the Internet for our anniversary present and my birthday. (Not that I needed to Twist his arm or any thing) What a win win situation. Now I'm trying to convince him that the only thing I need for Christmas is a Healthy Baby and maybe some extra sleep.

Anyways before I trail off even more into baby mode... We will have the internet at home next weekend so look forward to updates more often !!!!
