2 down 1 more to go!

Today officially marks my entrance into the THIRD Trimester! I am 29 weeks today and have only 11 more to go before I get to meet my little angel! She is already 2.5-3 lbs and over a foot long. I have been feeling her kick like crazy! It is such an amazing feeling.

Here is what she looks like inside of me! Isn't that crazy!! Love you all!

My first Love - Sorry DJ.....

So my blog wouldn't be complete without mentioning my first Love~ PRESTON! Many of you know my nephew and how much I truly love and adore him. Him and I created a bond from the second he was in this world. He has been such a blessing and I don't know what I would do without him in my life. He makes me feel good even when I am totally down in the dumps!

So here is my tribute to Preston.......

First of many trips to the Zoo......This is where the animal obsession all started!

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we went down to my Aunt and Uncles place in Vancouver. DJ met the rest of the Ladd family and the woman who started it all, My grandma! She was thrilled to hear we were having a girl. I haven't seem my grandma that tickled in a long time! Here are a few pictures of the family on Thanksgiving day, I will add more as I get them.........


So for all of you who don't know my Dad, he is a character! The first thing he said to me when he saw me was "My you've gotten fat." - At least my belly is because of a baby and not beer! So we took a side by side picture of our tummy's! His was a little exaggerated....mine was not! :)

Me, DJ, my Dad and Carol spent the night down in downtown Portland the night of Thanksgiving. We woke up to the local parade going down the street right outside of our hotel room. It was pretty cheesy but fun to watch. We ended up walking around Portland that morning, getting Starbucks, going to Nike Town and catching the train to go get breakfast. We all had a great time together.

The Big Surprise

So I found out the day before DJ's birthday that I was pregnant. I was on the boat with my Dad and sister and was telling her how I wasnt quite feeling myself. She insisted that I take a test and turns out it was VERY positive. Both lines showed up right away! To be completely honest I lost it that day. I was so scared but Brittany reassured me everything was going to be ok. I told DJ the next day on the morning of his birthday. He responded (like I knew he would) with "This is the best birthday present you could have given me" ~ From that moment on our lives were changed forever!
