Bec 36 weeks

In an effort of sillyness Bec and Aunt Kate took some shots that represent the OPPOSITE of how she feels. We can call them light as a feather. I think Becca noticed 2 stretch marks today and she was none to happy about it.

The new room Oct 21 2011

The new room is nearly perfect. Grandpa as usual did a beautiful job on everything. The built in dressers and closet are big enough for both the new babys things and for all of Becca's clothes and thats saying something. The new carpet matches the artwork perfectly and I couldnt be happier with how it turned out. Becca is pretty happy to have a place of her own to dress and sleep in every night. She is so happy to not be a nomad roaming from bed to bed . Truthflly I loved the nights she slept with me when Grandpa was working at the Vetrans Hospital. She talks about all of her thoughts and feelings. She will be a good mom, she is already very protective of you. We wedged the picture of the golden gate bridge into place I had to retouch up the wall it was such a tight fit. When it was all put together and the flat screen tv was in place Becca invited me to watch a movie in her room. We ate popcorn and set under her fluffy covers and watched The Back Up Plan. A movie about a woman having a baby. We also watched baby Mama the other day. I guess babys are on her mind. I bought you some baby lotion and something soft and yellow to wear.

PS 6 weeks left Elmo is waiting in the top of the closet for you.

32 weeks

Roman you were 32 gestational weeks old when I took this picture. It made me laugh. Mostly because your mother hates maternity clothes and thought she would wear one of her old t shirts. You can see how that went complete with the belly button. She is eatting tums regularly now. She doesnt throw up anymore at all but her back hurts and so do her hips. Sometimes she gets of the couch all hunched over and old stumbling around. Apparently you are taking up all the room. We laugh becaue you kick alot when she eats chicken. Thats kind of funny since Justin really favors chicken. Your mom texted me " I weighs 190 lbs ugg! "I laughed since honestly she has only gained 22 lbs you should be the perfect size. See you soon Manny.

Love you already.

Contest

Aunt Gabrielle has a photography class which she put to good use this past week (Sept 18). Becca wanted to enter the Baby Bump contest on a radio station web site. You enter a picture and then get people to vote for you. The most votes wins a$2,000 baby room and maternity clothes. Beccas phone crashed when she tried to mass e-mail so many people to vote for her. I bought the cutest little bouncy seat surrounded by light up and squeaky toys . Finn was very interested in it. I hope my baby Manny will be to. I decided that would be grandmas nickname for him. He will be my little manny a good shortening of Roman.

6 months

Becca was headed to Bear Lake with her girlfriends for the weekend. They have gone a couple of times to a great cabin. Its very restful except for the sleeping part which she doesnt do well anywhere. She takes her giant body pillow wherever she goes. Her dad bought that and some vitam E cream as a gift one day. You can see boxes in the picture. They are lights for the bathroom downstairs. We are moving along on getting the basement finished for our Roman. Becca decided his middle name could be her middle name Erin only spelled Arron. I bought Roman some clothes and books at a yard sale this week.

5 months

I took Becca to have her favorite turkey sandwich at Arbys. She balanced her drink on her stomach and said "look mom I have a shelf now." She has been more nauseated a few days this last week. You always know because she pats her chest like shes trying to keep it all down. She says eggs especially do not sit well.

20 Weeks

Shawn and I went to Becca's ultrasound appointment. All is well with the baby. He has a larger femur and bigger lips. We chuckled at that. It was amazing what they could look at and see. The technician took lots of photos and measurements. Afterwards we went to Thai Mango for lunch.
