Thank heavens for Thanksgiving.

I love holidays and what better then food-gallooooor this coming Thur. marking week 26!!!

Friday I went shopping with a friend and came back with a couple little outfits, I am such a fan of kid-2-kid and the great deals there. Little designers that someone else might of paid $30+ for a shirt, I get for $5.00!

Also, I'm pleased to say Christmas cards have been sent today and a photo included in each one. It's something that is becoming yearly and fun to give everyone an update on our life and how much we love you all. With that being said, my belly is a bit more then last years picture! Here are a couple Chris took on the side of our photo-shoot.

Week 25

Week 25

(This is all I have to prove to any unbelievers my belly is filling out)

Week 25 is here and I figured it would be fun to add some photos. Meanwhile reading what's to come during this week and what is taking place take a looker...

"This week they’ll be scootching slowly out of the old breech position and start rotating (already!) into a better position for exit during their birth. Their head and feet are slowly rotating so that the head is pointed down towards the birth canal. Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask)—just (still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident human. "

Everything is coming up so fast, I need to keep calm and take everyday as it comes. On a brighter note last week I picked Chris up from school and there he stood with a beautiful rose that had a cute card that said "Congrats on the Baby Boy" Then a sweet note below that read "I love you!" I love him too and no words can explain the happiness he brings to me!!

The best of the Browns to come!

Last Wed. I found out a bit more than I expected during my typical monthly exam...such as I gained 9lbs. in 3 weeks!! Goodness me. No worries though, it's all healthy and I measured a week over size-wise! I couldn't be any happier with this pregnancy. We're completely shocked with how much my stomach has grown over the past month and much bonding is already taking place, with every kick there's constant contentment and as much excitement.

Overall our week has been eventful and much baby preparation taking place, everything from the delivery of the bedding set that is everything we hoped it would be, including much needed maternity pants that fit me so well, I’m excited to leave my comfy lounge pants at home!

Last note: I went to the SLC Temple on Friday and walking through the doors a lady commented to me "Oh good, you brought the baby!" this has brought a smile to my face.

Christopher Robbin

I gave Chris a nick-name before we even started dating and since then it's stuck. (Christopher Robbin!!) I've always thought it would be cute to have a boy and have a couple things around his room with the classic pooh/Christopher Robbin theme! Even if our plans are to give him another name, I think it would still look pretty cute! We'll have to see what sort of things I can come up with!

Yesterday evening Chris had a late class and while waiting in the car I noticed Baby Boy of mine was moving tons! So instead of listening to the radio, I turned it off and figured I'd see if he reacts with my voice. At first I figured it was lucky timing, but after a 1/2 hour of feeling the most of him when I laughed or sang, I'm pretty sure he's as aware of me as I am of him! I'm so grateful already for his company and we can hardly wait for what's too come!

I'm on my way to my appointment, typical exam, but nothing more exciting then hearing his heartbeat!!

Week 23 with much on my mind!

Week 23 is here and I've had a lot of my mind...skating mostly and how hard I'm working as a coach. I'm always careful, but plans are the end of Nov. I'll be hanging up my skates for the rest of this pregancy. Without jumping I feel bored and same with spining. It's so hard to be in the rink and not of the rink, do you get what I'm saying? As much as I crave this blessed sport, life has took a turn for the better and my newest passion is our baby! Although plans are to teach him how to skate once he learns to walk, it's a must, but no pressure beyond that!

Something else I'm trying to consider is when to stop working. I enjoy being around my co-workers, but the 2 days I'm a dental assistant my feet can feel the load. Meanwhile the 2 days I'm at the front desk I don't seem to mind at all, but since I don't get the choice of working part-time I need to give them a heads up by this month what I'll be doing!

We're leaning toward the 2nd week in Feb. or last week in Jan. Any idea's? I'd love to here what others have done in the past?
