26 Weeks


Pregnancy lesson #26: What you look like no longer matters nearly as much as it once did. Once your belly hits a certain mark-can you spend too much time worrying about your looks? I look at myself in pictures now and it's kind of an out of body experience. In my head, I still look the same as I always have, you know-sans belly, but wow-when you see it in pictures. Wow!!
The belly sure is growing-the girl is 15 inches now and almost 2 pounds-now where did the other 28 pounds come from?? There is something very freeing about checking your ego at the door in order to take these pictures to capture this special occasion for your baby. Honestly, I might not have followed through if I didn't want to do this for her, but am so glad I have continued to take the pictures. It will be nice to have a record of this time and sometimes you just have to check yourself and realize that your figure just isn't as important as it once was. With that being said Happy Thanksgiving-I hope you all will enjoy the holiday and all it's glory with me. Because next year-it's back to watching the waistline :)

25 Weeks

25 weeks and the belly is growing. She has started moving a lot now and it feels so funny. How
do you explain to your baby that you are in an important meeting with your boss and now is not the time? I am learning one very important lesson of motherhood-you don't. You cannot explain anything to your baby nor would they understand. So as a mommy, you grin and pretend that your child hasn't decided that right then in the middle of your very important meeting will be the first time she decides to start kicking you-hard :)

24 Weeks


6 months along. Baby Goertz is getting so big. Her dad felt her moving last night and was so excited. Our 24 week check up is next Tuesday, so I'll keep you posted if there is any news. I think it'll just be a routine exam though. We finished our childbirth class this weekend-yay!! It seems like this pregnancy is just flying by-maybe it's keeping track of each week. Speaking of keeping track-Baby Goertz is now the size of an eggplant.
We also have the names narrowed down to:
Ella Grace Goertz
Gabrielle Grace Goertz
Isabella Marie Goertz
Stella Marie Goertz
We'll keep working on it.

23 Weeks

We thought it would be nice to get Samson and Tyson in the picture. Unfortunately Ty Ty didn't show up very well. Well 23 weeks-Time is certainly flying by. Justin and I started our childbirth class today, and feel much more informed. I have also started pre-natal yoga and am loving it. This time is so precious.

Baby Goertz's Crib-literally!!









Justin and I have been working on getting Baby Goertz's room put together and well here is a start. We have the crib, dresser, changer, and bed.
There is still so much to do, but I think we are going to register next weekend and our baby birthing classes begin next Saturday!!
With having a baby, it is so excited, but there is so much I have to learn. Like this past weekend for example, I tried on three or four pairs of my pre-pregnancy pants before I realized that my hips have gotten bigger. Now I'm not real sure if that's the baby, the ice cream, or both, but either way-YIKES!! Looks like I will be getting some khaki maternity pants after all. :) Oh and baby and I are eating a bit healithier just in case!!
Oh and a big thank you to my sweet husband for putting together the hutch and the crib all by himself. He has gotten so good, he had the crib put together by the time I got out of the shower-come to think of it, maybe we better test out that crib before the baby comes.
