Ava in 3d





Introducing little Bobby! General consensus states she looks like her daddy and I have to agree. It's amazing what technology can do these days.

I've been doing fantastic, having alot of Braxton Hicks contractions and those are not fun at all. She kicks and rolls around a ton making my stomach morph into weird shapes. Tying my shoes and picking small objects up off the floor are now things I avoid as long as humanly possible. I need one of those 4 foot arm claw thingies I guess. Grunting is now also a part of my everyday vocabulary, lovely!

29 weeks today, so that means in a little over 2 months (or hopefully less) we will get to hold baby girl in our arms!

Maternity Pics!!

I was fortunate enough to book the lovely and talented Katie Beyer to shoot some maternity portraits for me. If you ever have the opportunity to work with her, do not miss out. Here are a few of my favorites, hand-picked.

Nat'l Lampoons NC Vacation

I spent 5 days in North Carolina visiting my dad and stepmom, and my sister and her family were up there as well. We had a great time. Somehow my sister roped me into white water rafting - she swore it would be safe for me. I gave it a shot, it wasn't too bad although it was a bit frightening at some points. We stayed at the Dillard House in Georgia and everyone went horseback riding....well everyone except me & Nathan. I got to see my dad's friends Dennis & Karen who were one of the first people to hold me after I was born. It's always good to see them.

All in all it was a great trip, lots of laughs and the weather - you couldn't beat it with a stick. We were pretty much on the go alot of the time and I experienced my first bit of swelling. There was no shortage on food for "chubbs" as my dad likes to call me, which is a good thing. Believe it or not, both flights were excellent - as much as it pains me to praise Allegiant Air. I did arrive home as the Giants were playing their season opener so my husband was "unable" to pick me up and I took a smelly nasty cab home. Yea he's never going to hear the end of that one. He is trying dilligently to make up for up with lots of wonderful foot rubs which are making the memory fade pretty quickly. Ahh, chubbs loves the foot rubs!

Here's Chubbs and Big Poppa Chubbs comparing bellies


And here's Julian when I returned home making sure the baby was okay
