Practice Makes Perfect!

We now have a carseat and a stroller for Baby! Andrew has been in preparation mode, and decided it was time to get the carseat ready for the car, and put together the adaptor bar for the stroller so we can put the carseat in it. 

What do you do after you get everything set up? Why, you give it a test run, of course! Since Baby isn't quite here yet, our good friend Donald graciously volunteered to help us out. (This particular Donald was given to me when I was born! I have lots of baby pictures with him!)

Here's Andrew with the whole setup -- stroller, carseat, diaper bag, and "baby"!

We wheeled the stroller around the house to test out its maneuverability. :) We even made a little pit stop in the baby's room (still in progress!).

Practice makes perfect! I think we've got this one down! The countdown is on -- in about 7 weeks or so, we'll have a cute little human baby in this carseat instead of Donald Duck. :D

Photoshoot!

At 32.5 weeks, we had the privilege of having wonderful photographer Megan Tsang do a maternity photoshoot! Here is a teaser shot that she sent us this morning; there will be more to come, so check back soon! :)

Baby Shower!

A few weeks ago, my dear friends threw me a wonderful baby shower. I was so, so blessed by all the friends and family who came to celebrate with me and to bless us with gifts! There was even a photographer on hand to capture all the fun moments!


It was great to have Andrew's mom fly into town to spend the weekend with us and attend the shower as well! I love this photo of my moms and my sister!

The Last Trimester!

It's that time again! Time for another "yellow shirt" picture -- it still fits!! (Wonder if I can make it to the last picture in this shirt!)

Andrew and I dressed up for a wonderful night out in San Francisco -- dinner and the SF Symphony! It was our daughter's first concert and I'm pretty sure she had a good time rockin' out. :)

We topped off the long weekend with a fun BBQ in the park with our friends. Here we are next to Vasona Lake!

We are so grateful to know that our baby is healthy and growing at just the right pace. All day long, she lets me know that she's figuring out how to move her arms and legs, and I can tell they are getting bigger and stronger! It's hard to believe, but this is the last trimester of my first pregnancy. I can tell that things are going to start to get a little more intense! Tonight, Andrew and I start the first session of our 8-week long birthing class to learn how to help this baby come on out. Here we go!
