Mommy and Hanna are both doing great. Megan was a pro during labor she made it look so easy. Hanna is perfect she is so sweet and SO little!!!

Big Sister Hailee is so excited and loves her baby sister already. She could not get enough of her. Seeing Hailee's face when she went to meet her little sister for the first time was priceless. She is going to be a great big sister.

Proud Auntie Kara and Uncle JJ with little Hanna...

Not long until we will be holding our own little one. Megan and Josh thank you so much for letting us be a part of this special day!! Love you guys!

Update!

9 weeks left and I cannot imagine getting any bigger. Jeremy and I did the 2nd half of our Lamaze/birthing class today. I was so glad that he was able to come this time. I feel much better about labor... my nerves have definitely calmed. The class was not nearly as boring as I thought it would be. The woman that taught our class was SO funny! I also had a doctors appointment this week and my doctor did an ultrasound to measure the baby... She is doing great and growing strong. She is about 3 pounds 11 ounces.

Hanna will be here soon!!

On Sunday we did a pamper mommy day for my sister Megan with some of her closest friends and family. She is due on Nov. 29th but... she went to here weekly doctors appointment today and is 90% effaced and 2cm. So Megs is hoping she will be here within a week. We went on a 2 mile walk today so maybe that will help. I cannot wait to meet my little niece!!!
My mom and I got to spend a lot of time together this weekend... She ended up being my coach at our birthing/Lamaze class. Jeremy was very sick and could not come. :( I was very thankful my mom was able to come and support me in such short notice. She also came up the next day for Megan's pamper day. I am so lucky to have such an amazing mom. She is always here for me and always SO helpful. The class we took was very informative and helped me to not be so afraid of labor.

Excited!!!

For some reason I feel the need to get some of my thoughts out... With the time getting closer for our little one to finally arrive. I am getting SO excited and somewhat emotional. Emotional in a good way though. I just cannot even imagine what it will feel like when I get to hold and kiss her for the first time and know that Jeremy and I created this beautiful person. It is amazing to me how much I love her and yet have not even met her. This all probably sounds extremely cheesy but it is really how I feel.

With only 10 weeks to go I still have a lot to do... but I still have plenty of time. Jeremy and I are taking a birthing class tomorrow. I hope that it is helpful and informative. I am feeling good just having a hard time sleeping but nothing worth complaining about.

I am sure what has sparked these feelings today is my friends Shea and Joannah had there little girl this morning. Looking at the pictures brought tears to my eyes. It just seemed to be an amazing moment. Congrats to you both I cannot wait to meet little Jordan.

Elle Ryan & Haley's Shower

Last Sunday Haley had her final shower... She looked beautiful as always! Little Elle is going to be the best dressed little girl around. She got the most adorable things. Now we are just waiting for her arrival... Less that 7 weeks away!
