Soon To Be Nursery

So since we are still in our one bedroom apartment we haven't been able to set up our nursery yet. But we have bought some of the main things for it and I am so excited about them I have to put them on here so that everyone can see them now... Haha.
I had to get both of my photos from Amazon.
So this is the crib that we bought. We don't have the other furniture, just the crib. We bought it at Costco and it is a Child Craft and has a dark brown espresso finish, even though in the picture it looks black. We got an awesome deal on it so we are way excited about it.
This is the bedding that we got. We got it off Ebay for a way good deal as well. It is made by JoJo Designs. They had so many super cute bed sets but this is the one that we decided to go with. It came with 9 pieces- the comforter, bumper, crib sheet, crib skirt, diaper stacker, toy bag, decorative pillow, and 2 window valences. And then Danny, being the cute husband he is, bought me the 3 wall square decorations! I just can't wait to get to set it all up!

Grandpa Anderson's Funeral

Danny's grandpa on his mom's side passed away on August 31st. He had been doing dialysis for over a year and decided that he didn't want to do it anymore. So he stopped doing dialysis about 2 weeks before he passed away. He was a real sweetheart and he will definitely be missed. I met Grandpa Anderson around 4 and a half years ago and though I didn't know him very well, I am very glad I got to know him. Especially because without him I wouldn't have gotten my amazing husband. We were very lucky and grateful to get to go spend an evening with him right after he quit dialysis. I was especially grateful that Danny was able to get that time with him. And it was kind of fun because during our talk with him we put it together that he had been friends with and had worked with my best friend from high school's grandpa. It's such a small world. Here is a picture of me and Danny with Grandpa and Grandma Anderson at our wedding
His funeral was last Wednesday, September 8. There was a great service and then these pictures were all at the cemetary, Wasatch Lawns.
The grandsons were the pallbearers



Me and Danny
Me and Kaylee... Ya it was windy and hard to keep my dress down! Haha

24-26 Weeks

Well today I am 26 weeks along. I have been meaning to update this for a few weeks but I hadn't gotten around to it until now. I have been feeling pretty good for the last little while so that has been nice. Thanks to everyone for the tips on my last post, I have only gotten a couple of charlie horses since and they have been very mild. The only thing that's been kind of a bummer is that I haven't been sleeping the best. I usually wake up several times a night. Most of the time I am able to fall right back to sleep, but some nights it takes awhile and I wake up pretty exhausted. But I figure it's just practice for when the baby gets here right? Haha. I am starting to feel her a lot more, so I am loving that. Some days I swear she is the most active baby in the world cuz I will feel her so much. But then other days I will hardly feel her. So it's kind of funny. I can't wait for her to come so that I can see her and get to know her personality better. Danny has gotten to feel her lots of times now and it is always really fun when he feels her because he gets so excited about it and talks about how much he loves her already. It is really cute. We are definitely getting excited!This is me at 24 weeks, people can definitely tell I am pregnant now!
So during my 24th week we were able to get another ultrasound with my doctor. This is a new ultrasound machine that they got up at Alta View and it has 4D capabilities which you will see in later pictures. It was fun to be able to see her again.
This first one shows her heart rate.
This is a cross section of her skull that they measured. It is still showing her about a week further along.
This is a cross section of her abdomen. These measurements show her more than 2 weeks further along, but my doctor thinks that she didn't have the best angle on it so its probably not a correct measurement.
Here is her femur. This measurement shows her about a week further along too. I hope that means she comes that soon. Haha
More proof that she is a girl.. Haha
I believe that this is a fist, but I can't remember for sure.
Here's a cute little foot!
Here's her face
So these are the 4D images that we got. They tried to get her face, but she wasn't being very cooperative and her arm was covering most of it. We did get to see one of her eyes and her nose but they weren't able to save the picture in time. But it was awesome to get to see that at least. Danny thinks her nose looked like our nephew Braxton's nose! So it will be fun to see if that's true when she comes out.
So this picture shows her bum and legs. You can see her little fist going up to her mouth too. And my favorite part is how you can see her little feet are crossed at the ankles. It is just so adorable to me!
This just shows the same thing, but it's not quite as clear. But these pictures are just so fun. it's crazy to be able to see her like this. It makes me even more excited for her to actually come.
