30 weeks down, 10 to go!

I can't believe we're only 10 weeks away from meeting our little girl! It really feels like time has been flying lately. Sure, I say that now. I'm sure in a few weeks I'll feel like time is dragging. ;)

Here are a few pics of the ever-expanding waistline... Don't worry, it's a ROOT BEER that I'm drinking!!!





We went for a 3D ultrasound this weekend in hopes of trying to get an idea of what Baby Girl Trump will look like. She was marginally cooperative at first, but then she decided it would be funny to pull the umbilical cord in front of her face to block us from getting any good pictures.

She's also in a transverse position right now (laying across my belly-- head on my left side, butt on the right side, and her legs are kicking down towards my bladder...lucky me!), which makes her even harded to see. We're hoping she turns head down in the next few weeks. The ultrasonographer gave me some ideas for positioning myself to give her a little more room to move around, so maybe that'll encourage her to move.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of what she looks like... we're going back on Friday for a free repeat scan (to see if she's moved and will give us a better shot).







I've got to send out a big THANK YOU to Vanessa for the adorable onesie she gave us...



And finally, Brian and I spent some time this weekend painting little birdhouses to use for decoration around the room. Since we're doing a little birdie theme, we figured it was appropriate. Here's a pic of our handiwork!
