I've been tagged! This picture was taken the day of my wedding. Me and Celia were contemplating over which song to choose for our first dance (mine and Justin's first dance that is :) We unfortunately left out that little detail in the wedding planning. Luckily Celia and I enjoy the same type of music and she was able to cut down the 300 choice song list down to a handful. Justin and I ended up choosing Shania Twain's "From this moment on". I think it was a good choice.

100 days

I am down to just 100 days left in my pregnancy. Yay! Sometimes it feels like it is flying by and other times it feels like I have been pregnant forever! A couple of weeks ago we had our target ultrasound. Everything is looking great and right on track. Here are a few pictures from the appointment:


This picture was from the 4D ultrasound. It is the best one of her face. She was soooo wiggly that the Dr was having a hard time getting a good shot.


This is a picture of the bottom of her foot. So adorable!

Heelarious!

These baby shoes are so funny, but adorable. They totally remind me of Minnie Mouse. I think the only thing I would ever buy them for are pictures but at $35 bucks a pair I don't really see that happening! I just thought I would share them as they are becoming ultra popular. I know that 7 year old niece Tayzhia (who is already a shoe fanatic) will love them! Here is what the website heelarious.com says about them:

hee • lar • i • ous [he-lair-ee-uhs] - noun:

Extremely funny, completely soft shoes for babies
0-6 months designed to look like high heels
Not intended for walking (heel will collapse with weight).
Not intended to harm children in any way.

WARNING: May cause extreme smiling and hysterical laughter when in use (this is completely normal).

Name Voyager

Today I found this really cool name statistic site. Click here to try it out! It's fun to type in everyone's names to see how popular the name is and in which years.

P.S. I hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween!

Nursery

Today I had my 22 week target ultra sound. Everything looks great and the baby is growing perfectly. I can't believe that I am more than 1/2 way done! A week or two ago I made myself stop buying stuff until I had another appointment, especially just to be super sure that it was a girl. Well, after my appointment today I went on a mini shopping spree and ordered a crib (see picture below) and a swing. I can't wait until they get here to be able to put them together and to start decorating the nursery. My only problem is, I can't decide on a theme for the nursery. There are just too many too chose from!

VOTEHELP.ORG

The 2008 presidential election is fast approaching (November 4th). I found this website called votehelp.org that you can input your opinions on main issues and then it will show you which candidate agrees with you or disagrees. It will also show you the candidates specific viewpoints on each issue. It's pretty cool. Try it out!

"Always vote for principle,
though you may vote alone,
and you may cherish
the sweetest reflection
that your vote is never lost."
-John Quincy Adams

It's a.....

GIRL! We had our 18 week checkup today and everything is going good. I had convinced myself that we were having a boy but I was proven wrong by the doctor. Our little girl is expected to arrive February 27th. We are super excited. Here are a few pictures from the ultrasound.
P.S. Tiffany, this post is for you :)

This is a picture of her face with her mouth WIDE open.

It's a girl!

3. I HAVE to have a book that I'm currently reading or else I go insane, and I always try to read before bedtime.

4. I have a tendency of setting something down I was just holding without remembering.

5. I always eat pizza backwards (crust first).

6. I really hate just hearing words like "fart", "burp", "stinky". It seriously grosses me out just writing it.

Photo Restoration

When I was a little girl my dad painted a picture of a lighthouse from a puzzle box. The painting was absolutely beautiful and was truly one of his best paintings ever. Later on in life he sold the painting and it was something that we very much wanted back after his passing. We have yet to find the man it was sold to. While searching online for lighthouse pictures for a project, I came across this puzzle box picture. I knew immediately that this was the picture that my dad painted from. It needed a little help, so I gave it a quick makeover. It's still a work in progress but it's much better than the original that I found online. This is the closest thing I have to the painting my dad painted about 20 years ago and I am happy that I found it.
P.S. If anyone knows a Ben Dunkley who works for HAFB, let me know :)
