I hope she likes shoes

I can't get over how cute these are!

Madeleine's Room

Jeff and I are busy getting Madeleine's room ready with only 8 more weeks to go! We still have a few more things to wash, put away, put together...but it is coming together. Below are some pictures of what we have done so far. I will post some more pictures when we get it all finished - waiting on Grandma Kathy to finish her quilt and my friend Amy is making us a print to hang afer she is born!


Jeff had these animal paintings hanging in his nursery when he was a baby! They are hand painted by a family friend, Jeff's godmother.

Two-Year Anniversary

Jeff & I celebrated our two-year anniversary this weekend! We had breakfast at the Salish Lodge just up the street and then it was off to a pregancy massage for me. Glorious!

Jeff also planned dinner at the Space Needle but I was just too tired so we canceled. Instead we went to see a matinee - "Dan In Real Life". Really good! It was a great day!

Only 9 1/2 weeks to go!

We can't believe baby Madeleine will be here in 9 1/2 weeks...that is if she comes on time of course! She is very busy kicking, punching and doing some somersaults! I am getting bigger and bigger - the other day my co-worker asked if I could still see my feet? I thought I could but then I looked down and saw that I couldn't!

Here I am in my comfortable clothes after work. What they say is true: In your second trimester you feel like a million bucks (okay...maybe not a million, but I did feel pretty darn good) and then your third trimester rolls around and you start getting really uncomfortable! My tummy has never itched so much!!!

Home from Russia

Lumina visited last week from Russia (her new home)! She came up to our new house and was able to see my prego tummy! I also saw her for dinner with Kristy. Good times! Hopefully next time she visits under better circumstances...thinking of you & your dad Lum!

Baby Shower

Andrea & Melissa threw me a baby shower this weekend! I had so much fun seeing close friends and family. Even Jeff's mom flew in from Texas! Thanks to everyone for coming and especially to Andrea & Mel for throwing me such a special party to celebrate Madeleine.

I got so many neat gifts too! A great mix between the essentials and cute girly stuff! Everyone is so creative and thoughtful! The shower was very exciting and I was extremely tired when I got home...I tried to stay up and play with all my gifts but I was so tired that I had to go to bed. I woke up at 6 am on Sunday though so I could look through all of Madeleiene's things and start writing my thank-you cards!

28 1/2 weeks

Happy Halloween!

We are getting ready for Halloween! We carved pumpkins with some friends today and Jeff's pumpkin turned out pretty awesome! We are carving my pumpkin with some other friends in a few weeks - can't wait! My friend Amy brought me over a baby pumpkin for baby Madeleine. She is so creative...check it out, she painted the same rose on the pumpkin that she put on my baby shower invitation. Thanks Amy!
