Pictures and videos!!

Baby V's latest profile - what a long leg, ah! :)

Man, it's getting cramped in here already...

So this is how a wrist works?!

Our lil' boy is growing away!!

It's almost hard to believe that we're winding down the 2nd trimester now - yahoo! Baby V has gotten VERY active over the last 2 weeks, now almost tickling me while I'm sitting in meetings at work, ha! It's so fun to feel him and to tell his response to certain noices now. Dad-to-be has been great at reading and talking to him, and even putting cliassical music on at night so the little guy (and mom!) can sleep in comfort.

Jeff has started painting the nursery now, which is so exciting! The dogs definitely know something is up - especially as Sammy still tries to lay in my lap while I drive and finds himself stuck between my belly and the steering wheel. :)

Amy and Baby V have been keeping busy lately (besides the usual quality time with Jeff, the families and the dogs) catching up with all the girls. We had a great outing (lunch and nails) 2 weeks ago with the "supper club" ladies, and then spent this weekend throwing a shower for Annie, who's baby girl is coming in just a few weeks!! Laura and her lil' girl Sydney got to spend time at our house planning for that. Needless to say, Baby V is going to be surrounded by LOTS of loving women! :)

Thankfully I'm still feeling good - but am a little over this 100 degree weather!

Long lost update...

Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday weekend! We had a great time relaxing with family and neighbors, and finally starting our "serious" baby planning! Jeff has started working in the nursery doing trim and paint, we both went and ordered the furniture, and we started solidifying plans of things we'll need to get, etc. Overwhelming, but so much fun to realize he's really coming - and getting sooner by the second!

Last weekend we traveled to Wisconsin to visit Jeff's family and attend a graduation party for JB there - it was great to catch up with many relatives and see the beautiful countryside.

Baby Boy Vande has been moving more often these days - Dad-to-be has even felt him now, which is so exciting! Jeff was also able to hear the baby's heartbeat with his stethoscope and it still sounds fast and strong as ever, yahooooo!

Pictures to come soon, I promise - my belly is DEFinitely showing full force now, so I'll post some of those shots, too. :)
