90 days to go!

We are closing out the second trimester this week! Crazy, but true :) I'm excited, but partly freaked by the idea that we will be completely in charge of a brand new person in three short months! I am enjoying looking pregnant (not just fat) these days, although I am anxious to see how big this boy will get! Here is the belly at 26 weeks, 4 days:

Baby Boy is growing strong and still kicking up a storm! He is active on and off all day long, but he particularly likes night time - which makes for difficult sleeping - so I better get used to late nights.

We got a quick visit from Aunt Allison 2 weekends ago, but she will be back at the end of this month for a bit longer. Now we just need to figure out when we can visit her in California :)

Since every blog post has to have a little segment about how great Chad is: he surprised me on Saturday with our fancy new baby camera!! We both wanted to get one so we can have excellent photos of our little man, but we weren't sure we could swing it - so it was a very exciting to come home to. This really meant a lot to me because we will never get those first little moments back. Chad has been so self-less when it comes to meeting the needs of our little family, and I feel like one lucky girl :)

Lastly, we got to spend some time with the Garrity family this past Sunday! Chad and I are thrilled because Carlyle can say our names!! We absolutely adore our niece, and we are so happy to be "Nana and Datch" -she is so fun and talkative these days. Plus, she gave us a good excuse to try out our new digital and video cameras She is a little fast for our picture taking skills, but Justin assures us we will get quicker before our boy is up and running.
