Another Peek at Button!

Yesterday I had my 34 week appointment, and got the report that everything with Button looks great! Heartbeat is strong, size is right on target, and she is already in the head-down position (smart little girl to know what to do!) We had our last ultrasound and got to see her profile again (she's grown up so much already since the last!), as well as a close-up shot of her face this time. You'll have to look really closely at the picture below of her headshot, as it's difficult to make out at first, but you can see her right eye-socket, nose, mouth, and hands/arms folded together underneath her head. If you look hard enough, you can even tell she's smiling! (at least we think she is!) It is so special to have these pictures to look at, and even more special to know we are going to get to see her in real life so soon!!

Anniversary Trip/"Baby-moon"!

We just returned this past weekend from an absolutely wonderful vacation to Hawaii! It was such a special time and incredible way to get to celebrate our 1 year anniversary~It's amazing how fast this past year has flown; definitely has been the greatest of my life!! I guess you could also term this trip with the now common phrase of a "baby-moon" as well, enjoying great and relaxing time together before all the busyness comes with baby's arrival!...We definitely got a good chuckle while walking through the airport with only our two small bags as we thought of what our next time walking through the airport is going to look like...lugging not only our bags, but a playpen, car seat, stroller, diaper bag, etc etc as well!!ha We are down to just 6 weeks away from Button's arrival now, so no more flying for me~Thankfully she decided to not want to come out as we were flying over the ocean, which was a definite relief to Andy (and of course myself as well!)!;) I'll include a few pictures from our wonderful trip, and you can see how she has definitely been growing and getting so big!:)

Infant Care 101

We finished up the final of our pre-baby classes last, completing our "Caring for Infants" class last night over at Stanford Hospital. It was actually quite fun, as we learned bathing, swaddling, changing, etc techniqes using baby dolls~Much more interesting than our other classes of just learning how to push during labor!:) Andy proved to be the champ with some great diapering skills on the dolls last night, so maybe he'll get a chance at some point to try that in reality, too, in a few weeks!;) We're getting closer...8 more weeks to go until her due date; we are SOOO ready and excited to meet our daughter!!!!
