3 More Weeks & A Giveaway! *Updated*

*Updated with pictures at bottom of post* (For you, Keri :) ).

I heart Target. The only thing I don't like about Target, is that I can never leave the store without spending at least $50 (usually it ends up being more).

Thank goodness, Craig doesn't read this blog.

It's a good thing that the nearest Target is 45 minutes away. The not-so-good thing is that I now have weekly doctor appointments less than five minutes from Target.

Target, Chipotle, and a doctor's visit. Judge me if you must.

In celebration of reaching the 37 week mark of this pregnancy (whoo-hoo), I thought it would be fun to have a giveaway!

In order to be eligible for a $10 Target gift card leave a comment with your guess of what day you think this little baby will be born. Just for fun you can also guess the sex, weight and the name if you feel so inclined. Just nothing over 9lbs please (ouch), and if you happen to know our names (I think a few of you do), no spilling the beans! Whoever is closest to the day wins the gift card! (If there's more than one guess on the same day, I'll just draw a name).

Mom, I know you love Target, but you have to leave a comment in order to be eligible. :)

Some things that may help you: My official due date is May 1st. Drew was a week late, Alex was 2 days early. Now, I may have to keep the gift card for myself if I see guesses like May 8th, May 10th, etc. That's just heartless!

Happy guessing!

A few of you have asked for pregnancy pictures-I actually do have some now. I'll post those later this weekend hopefully.

*Disclaimer: I know I look chronically tired on these pictures. What can I say? The nesting phase is over and now I'm just
t-i-r-e-d.

That's the best I can do for now (I'm usually the one taking the pictures)! I hope that helps!

Baby Pics! (Sort of)

I understand these pictures are blurry and hard to see, and probably not as cute as I think they are...but I had to post them anyway.


This is my blog, after all.



These were taken the other day at my doctor's visit. There's a long, boring story involved about this baby not cooperating, having to have repeat ultrasounds, a snowstorm and an ultrasound tech feeling sorry for me.



On a side note, this baby is very feisty already! He/She DOES NOT cooperate for ultrasounds, tries to hide from ultrasound pictures (which you'll see in a minute), and I've been craving Mexican and spicy foods. We may have our hands full with this one. :)


All this to say, the ultrasound tech took some 3D ultrasound pictures at our ultrasound a few days ago.


I think it's amazing to be able to see this little miracle in 3D. They are a little blurry, since I am only 25 weeks, and normally they don't take 3D ultrasounds until you are at least 30 weeks. I tried to play with the color, but you will have to use your imagination a bit. They definitely are easier to see in person!


Here you can see the baby's face, with an arm extending up by the right eye. Can I just say those are Alex's little lips through and through? And that nose! I can't wait to kiss and smooch this little face!!





I love this next one, even though it's blurry. If you look closely you'll see the eyes are closed and the hands are clasped together. It looks as if he/she is praying. "Please God, help this ultrasound to be over quickly so I can UNCROSS my legs. Mommy is soooo not finding out if I am a boy or girl today."

I can just hear it now.




And...last...not only were the legs crossed, this baby also put both hands over his/her face. If you look closely you'll see both arms up around and partially covering the eyes.

Oh, little one... I have a feeling you will be more than worth the wait!

We love you more than you can imagine already.
