There's no stopping us now!

Isabelle and I are really growing now. I feel like my belly gets bigger everyday. My weight keeps rising as well. I know this is a good thing, but it does come with annoying backaches, increased clumsiness, and more and more daydreaming about becoming a mom. I find myself already loving her so much. Every time she kicks I think about how much I want to take good care of her. Only 4 months left to go, which just seems crazy. I will be 22 weeks along by Thursday. Wow!

She's on the Move

So I think we have decided on a name for the baby girl on the way -- Isabelle Grace. Gabe wants to call her Izzy, but I'm not sure that will be my nickname of choice. Also, she has started moving around quite a bit. Gabe has been able to feel her kick twice. We will have another doctor's appointment in the next couple of weeks to see how much she has grown and make sure it still looks like a girl moving around in there. We've started thinking about baby stuff, and may begin our hunt for things like a crib and such soon. It should be an interesting Bulgarian adventure. My belly is starting to show more and I will try to take some new pictures and post them soon.

Fun in the Snow

So it happened. We got a dumping of snow. There is about 20 inches of snow on the ground now, and I've been really thankful that I decided to go ahead and buy those boots a month ago. Of course we had to have a little fun in the snow, but now it is so cold that hanging out outdoors is not so appealing. It is currently 10 degrees outside. BBBRRR!
