More Pictures of Mia's Nursery

Thank you mom for creating Mia's cherry blossom tree!!!! I cannot believe you were able to paint that in only 2 hours...you are AMAZING!!!! I am in love with it and I know Mia will just love it too! I've got to say Thank you to Hallie for her help in painting the centers of the flowers too!!! Mom is coming back to my house today because we decided a little blue bird on the tree would finish it off just right plus Mom has to sign her name!

I have a feeling Mia is going to be pretty fiesty!! I say this because she moves A LOT!! Yesterday she was kicking and moving around for 2 hours or so! I'm not sure if thats normal but I was like "geeze! Give me a break Mia!!" Also, there was this one night where Nate and I were sitting on the couch watching her go crazy with her movements and she literally kicked SO hard that Nate practically had her foot in his hand. We both freaked out when it happen..it literally took my breath away and Nate was in total shock with what happened! It was like she wanted out!!

Mia's safe haven....her nursery!

Our First Peek at Mia....

Nate and I decided a while back that we were not going to do the 3D ultrasound because we got zapped with that enormous bill from our previous ultrasound. A week ago we were sitting in bed wishing she was here already and thinking of what she may look like. The anticipation was killing us...so I brought in the laptop and we looked at the prices for 3D ultrasounds..and to our surprise they are only like $100 (with the special). I am so glad we did because It was amazing to see...my eyes watered up with my first glance at her beautiful face! She is absolutely perfect! During the ultrasound Mia smiled at us (picture #4 from the top), SO CUTE! From the ultrasound I think Mia has her daddy's nose, lips and his chubby cheeks. She definitely has my butt chin YAY! In the one picture it looks like she is totally flexing her bicep...Nate is proud of her muscles! =) We were told she has tons of hair..which I learned recently that may be why I have such a bad case of heartburn!
33 weeks ...so we have 6 weeks left!!!!

DRESS THAT BABY!

One of the baby shower games was called "dress that baby!"....it turned out to be a hit, I was cracking up at everyone trying to put on the babies essentials as fast as they could!! The baby shower couldn't have gone better....I had a great time with everyone, and was amazed at how many people came to share this special day with me. I want to thank Mom for hosting the get together as well as Hallie, Jacque, Tammy, Krystle, Mary, and Rick for all your help!!! It was an amazing shower...just beautiful! I have never in my life been so happy and so grateful!!!! I am truly truly blessed with so much!!!

Later that night some friends and I went to see Jimmy Fallon at the Tempe Improv. I felt like I needed to do something I have never done before (before baby arrives)...so seeing a comedian is something I have always wanted to do, but never got the chance. I am obsessed with it now...I want to go next month!! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time...and let me tell ya...being pregnant and laughing hard can be a painful combination. I urge all of you to go sometime and laugh your butt off...humor is definitely one of life's best things!
