99 days?!?!

Holy cow!

We've hit the double digits...

Only 99 days until my due date!

It's officially started!

This week has officially started 'stranger comments'! Every day, more and more strangers are commenting on my growing belly. Yesterday, it was the large construction worker man at McDonald's... this morning it was the two old ladies at Rite Aid. Who will be next???

The three main questions I get are, "When are you due?", "Is it a boy or girl?" and "Have you chosen a name, yet?" Usually, in that order. Then, the most common comment is usually about how hot is it and the humidity and being 8 months pregnant in August and how will I handle the heat?

I need a shirt that says:

"Due in September.
It's a girl.
Her name is Lea.
I love the hot weather."

Working Hard

I have been working hard these past few days/weeks... busy in our personal life, busy at work and busy putting baby fat on my little girl! :) Water aerobics is fun, but I am so exhausted afterward! Plus, since we are three days away from double digits until our due date (this Sunday we will be 99 days away!!!), we are starting to do more at home to get ready. I know I could totally go a week past my due date, but I could have this baby early, too! You just never know.

So, I have started washing clothes and blankets, we're finally getting the orange, velvet chaise (that's in our nursery) re-upholstered and we're finally ordering important items (crib and cradle mattresses, breast pump, furniture, etc.) I have my first shower coming up on the 28th and I am soooooo excited! I can't wait to hang out with friends and be a little selfish for a few hours (I love the attention and am looking forward to the gifts...I won't lie!!!).

Now, the only other big thing we need to tackle SOON is the flooring on our first floor. We finally made a decision on the type... it's some type of Pergo from Home Depot... so, now we have to make ourselves schedule and sign off on the estimate. Wish us luck!

25 weeks!

We had a fabulous time in Wilmington for my brother's wedding. While it wasn't sunny enough to lay on the beach, it didn't rain and was cool enough to relax outside in the evenings. I really enjoyed meeting Sarah's family and friends... and now I have a new sister (in law)!!!

Today marks 25 weeks of my pregnancy. We are getting closer and time does not seem to be getting any slower. Baby girl (whom we are calling Lea these days) is well over 13 inches long and weighs about a pound and a half! She's finally getting some baby fat and her wrinkled skin is smoothing out. She's also growing more hair... and, if she has any on her head, the color is already visible.

I am still feeling great... getting bigger, but that comes with the territory! This past weekend, in Wilmington, I have never had so many belly rubs and comments from strangers in my life. It was kinda fun, actually! :)

Here are some pics from the wedding weekend...

Tomorrow we head to Wilmington for the weekend... my brother is getting married! (It looks like it might rain all weekend, but all the festivities are inside, so things will still be great.)

Congrats, Dave & Sarah!
