25 weeks

We ran out of week 24 to get a picture. So this is week 25 - 6 months pregos on a 10 month calender/timeline. Colin felt her kicking the other day and said, "Oh my word does she kick that hard all of the time?" Her favorite times to kick are right before I go to bed and in the middle of the night - 2-3 am. I know all of you moms out there are thinking, 'ah just wait!'
Please take note of the nicely stained mantle, that is finally finished and ready for stockings for next year.

We are starting to move the guest bedroom and actually make a baby's room. So Colin got the crib all put together, making things a lot more real for him. Chevy loves the new bed in the den and has spent most of yesterday and today on it- sleeping.

23 weeks and a very striped shirt

More people are noticing that I may actually be pregnant and not just drinking a lot of beer.
However, an old patient that I had not seen in a year came in on this very day- while wearing this shirt- glanced at my stomach, then looked back at my face with a very confused look and started talking about something totally unrelated to my very odd belly "growth." It was pretty funny because I could tell he was not going to ask nor was he going to assume, so he left the clinic probably thinking "That is odd, Julie put on a little extra weight in the last year." I am feeling good despite how tired I look in the picture. Colin is feeling the baby move more and more which is so exciting for him!

22 weeks and a Starboard Morning Show

Good friends watching Colin's show on a Saturday night. The baby started kicking around mid-night. It was hard to tell if she was ready to go or ready to hear her dad play more music. hehehe.

The guys played a rockin' show at very cute bar last night. It was a packed house with good drinks and good friends.

22 weeks and starting to feel bigger. The baby is kicking all of the time. My job keeps her very active. She pushes outward all of the time because of all of the weird positions I get in to. Colin feels her kick all of the time now to, which is so nice for dad to start to feel.

21 weeks

Just shy of 21 weeks. And the mantel Colin built Julie for Christmas stockings. 2.5 years in waiting.

Home for Christmas with Julie's sisters.

Colin, Julie, Kalie, Megan

Christmas wreath.

Megan made us this great Christmas wreath for our purple door:) We love it!

It's a GIRL!

Profile, face shot you can see her nose, mouth, outline of her skull and inside of the skull her cerebellum and jaw line.

Full body profile. Moving left to right- her bent legs the white spots are her knees, full torso with the left facing white horseshoe shape being her spine and sternum, her hand to her face and her cute little head facing away from the camera.

Long legs and a foot on the left side of the picture.

Gender- she is sitting on the camera basically. The white lines indicates that she is a girl. You see her legs coming out from her pelvis.

Profile shot of our 2nd ultrasound. Moving left to right- head with her thumb in her mouth, you can clearly see her ulna, radius and humerus (arm bones) and a budding deltoid and of course her ribs.

17 weeks

Opps- a little out of order but 17 weeks none the less.

18 weeks

Finally a little belly so people stopped saying "there is no way you are pregnant."

16 weeks

12 weeks (maybe)

We took the pictures a while ago. It would have been really smart to label them at the time but that didn't happen:)

Here are the first few belly progression shots!
