Starting to get ready...

I am 24 weeks along (almost 6 months) and doing great. Little Lee is kicking on a regular basis and she is making her presence known with my growing belly. We've had a busy few weeks with a trip to visit the Taylor's in Boise, lots of work, and playtime with friends. We had a great time with Auntie Becca this weekend and we got a lot accomplished! We made some big (and exciting) purchases to get ready for our little girl. Here are some pics of the beginning of our little lady's room.

Kristin and Mac helped too.

The finished product:

With a few more furniture purchases and some paint, we will be in good shape! We are loving every minute of this. It is so great to see it all coming together!

Big Baby!

Baby girl was much more cooperative at our follow-up ultrasound on Tuesday. The tech was able to get all of the measurements and let us know that all is well with Baby Lee. She is growing like crazy and is currently in the 70th percentile. She weighs 1 lb 8 oz now. Sean and I were happy to see her toes wiggling and heart pumping. I was just a little bit thrown off when our doctor asked us which one of us was a 10 lb baby. Yikes!

I am still feeling great. My belly is definitely showing. My students are noticing more and more and now are giving me name suggestions. Some of the interesting picks so far: Cinnamon and Rainbow. Other than that, I am just trying to stay healthy and keep my distance from all those germy middle-schoolers.

Here are Baby Lee's latest pics (and, yes, I did ask them to check one more time to make sure she is, in fact, a she).

Hand in mouth:

I think she has Sean's nose:
