California Rolls...mmmmmm

Nate and I went to our doctors appointment for little Mia yesterday...everything about this pregnancy seems to going very smoothly! The only thing is that Nate has a positive blood type and I have a negative blood type. This can cause RH incompatibility between the baby and I. It can be pretty serious because my body can become sensitized against this pregnancy. To avoid this from happening they gave me a Rhogam (human plasma) shot yesterday in my hip...somewhat painful. Nate got to watch the nurse stab me with this large needle right into my hip... he was grossed out to say the least. Its all worth it for my 'lil Mia =) Other than that everything is going great...Mia's heartbeat is strong and steady and kicking like a NFL punter or something! I always try and take the time to spend watching her and feeling her movements...I can now feel bone now...like her heal elblow, and or knee...too neat!!!! I have to get going....California rolls ...here I come!! hahah

6 MONTHS!!!! YAY

I am officially 6 months prego...only a few more to go! Not really because Hallie just informed me that 40 weeks divided by 4 is 10 MOTHS!!! How can this be confused with 9 months!!! Goodness. My good friend Catherine was so nice to capture this very happy time in my life....so THANK YOU Catherine...I couldn't be happier with how the pictures turned out!!!! I hope you all enjoy some of my favorite shots that were done! My ultimate favorites are the ones with Nate and I....we are just so happy!!!

Nate and I have been watching a ton of the Olympics, we enjoy the swimming, gymnastics, and diving!!! I saw a quick version of the opening ceremony..and WOW!! These athletes are just amazing to watch...and it crazy to think they are the best in the world and are setting new world records!!! GO PHELPS!!! Its a pretty horrible thing going on with Russia and Georgia...I hope it will end soon...They are killing civilians, woman and children with bombs!! It is dangerous situation over there and must stop! Why is peace such a hard thing to comprehend!!!
Mom came over for dinner last week and we made fried green tomatoes that were so tasty!! Mom is working on a painting for Mia's room...I am in awe by it....there is like a row of ballerinas on point, it is just beautiful!!! Yesterday my mom, Jacque, Tammy, Hallie and I got together for dinner and discussed plans for the baby shower....its going to be such a great time!!!! We have some fun games planned and good morning brunch set up too!!!

I am off on a business trip to California...leaving today and coming home Thursday for a Seminar regarding the new property management software we will be utilizing. I am very excited and eager to finally learn this software as it will basically perform most of the functions in order to manage property.

Gotta run!! xoxoxoxo

Happy Friday Everyone!

Its been a good week, I have been doing a lot with girlfriends which is always fun! I am so grateful for every single one of them, and they make life that much more beautiful!! On Saturday I met with a group of them at Cafe Boa down on Mill Ave...which had excellent food! Some of the girls couldn't help but get baby Mia some cute outfits (Some of them say "High Maintenance" and "bald is beautiful" hahah...they are hanging in my closet and every once in awhile I will go in there and look at them...I can't get over how tiny they are...and I can't get over that I am having a baby!! Its so crazy! Every so often I say to Nate "We're having a baby!" He laughs at me. I don't know what I would do without him sometimes, he makes me so happy! I can't even explain to you the excitement in our hearts for this little baby...I find us talking about it a lot! Today I am definitely having some growing belly pains....Nate says thats a good thing...but man is it uncomfortable! I recently ordered the crib and changer from Walmart...it must be a popular one cause its on back order and won't be shipped for awhile. Im going to make her drapes too....that should be interesting since I've never sewed a thing in my life! I also ordered Mia's bedding and wall letters....I can't wait to get it all together...and then of course I will share pictures with all of you!! My lovely sister Krystle is currently making my baby shower invitations (Thanks again Krystle!!!) but I wanted to mention the date so you can keep it open...OCTOBER 4th @ 10:30am.

Have a great weekend!!!

To my Aunt May, I love you and I'm thinking of you.
