My sister-in-law saw a similar shirt on a blog earlier in the week, so I polished up my crafty skills, made a trip out for iron-on paper and a black shirt, and solicited help from my art teacher friend to create this masterpiece! It was a lot of work, but I think it turned out pretty well. All my students loved it and every time Ethan walks by he rubs my belly and says, "Hi, Goovie." So cute!! This pic will definitely be going into the baby book. :)

Little kicker! :)

On Friday, at exactly 12 weeks pregnant, the little peanut in my belly kicked me! The boys thought it was hilarious! When not pregnant, you sometimes forget how incredible that is...the little things...like a baby kick from the inside. And to think, that little peanut at just about 3" long can make such an impact on my body! I love it!! :)

5 weeks!

Baby's heart begins to pump blood this week! I know I've been through this twice before, but it's crazy to believe a little sesame seed is growing inside me! I haven't been sick much...feeling great! We are planning to tell the Burch family at the BBQ on August 22. I think we'll tell JD and Ethan the week before, after we have our ultrasound and make sure everything looks good. :) I can't wait to tell the boys...I think they will be super excited!!

It's for real!

Well, I've missed my period, so I think this is for real! I am 4 weeks today. Weird. I haven't been too sick yet, just an upset stomach. I'm so curious to see if this baby is a boy or girl!! I think either would be fun!! I'm due March 25, which is exactly 12 weeks before the end of school. I'm hoping we can save enough for me to be able to take those 12 weeks off.

I made the design for the boys big brother shirts. That's how we're going to tell the family. At the end of August, after my 1st appt, we're going to have a BBQ and have them wear Big Brother shirts. I think everyone will like that! I'm going a little crazy not being able to tell anyone!!

Baby Burch #3!

Wow, that title scares and excites me all at the same time! I took a home pregnancy test yesterday and the positive line was super faint. I thought maybe I was imagining it, so I took another one today. Yep, it's there! I showed John when he got home and he was excited...kept pacing all around the room. It was cute! SO, here we go with number 3! According to babycenter.com I am about 3 weeks along, which puts me due on March 25, 2011. It's too early to "go public" so I'm blogging. Makes me feel like I'm telling someone, even though I'm the only one with permission to view this post right now! :)
