3D Ultrasound

First 3D Pictures of baby girl

Happiest Day of My Life

All I have ever dreamed of is having a baby girl!  I believe a daughter is one of the most beautiful gifts the world can give. She will definitely be a daddy's girl and her mommy's world!  Nick has always wanted a little princess as well so he feels equally as blessed and excited.  I can not wait for all the pink, huge hair bows, tutu's, glitter, shopping, and all that comes along with a little girl.  We will have so much fun :) It was the happiest moment in my life when our ultrasound tech said it was a GIRL!  We were both so excited we had to run out and buy her something right after.  My choice (with the help of my wonderful friend Jamie)  a big tutu and pink hair bow. Nick of course chose a Daddy's Princess onesie!  We can't wait to meet you baby girl!

Nick's First Father's Day

Happy 1st Father's Day to my wonderful husband! Nick was so excited to celebrate his first father's day.  He received a gift card to EBay (he loves buying crap on there lol),  a sampler set of cigars to celebrate becoming a daddy, and THIS ADORABLE ONESIE.  Baby James will definitely love daddy soooo much and so do I!! 

Wedding Season

Baby James has already been to a wedding!  One of my best friends was married in Ohio so we were able to go home to see our family and friends. Everyone was very excited to see/touch my baby bump and celebrate the newest addition to our family.   It was great to see everyone, celebrate the bride, and MOST importantly I fit in my bridesmaid dress! HAHA..  We were all a little nervous about that one.

Partying Vs. Pregnancy

My Life...What to Expect When Your Expecting can't prepare you for this!

My First Mother's Day

I mean could my husband know me any better!!!  What is better than Tiffany's??? I can not wait to wear this when Baby James gets here!

 I had such a fun day thanks to my husband and my mom who both decided to celebrate me on Mother's Day.  Mom sent me a Pea in the Pod gift card for maternity clothes (which I am really starting to need now)!  I still can not believe I am going to be a mommy.  It is such a CRAZY and AMAZING feeling.  I am glad I had such a good mom to celebrate on Mother's Day too.  I hope that I can be half the mom that she was to me to our little one!

My Lovely Baby Bump

Just look at it grow!

Since Nick was 8lbs and I was 9, I'm guessing baby james is going to be BIG!  Ahhhh!

*First Ultrasound*

We were overjoyed to see the first pictures of little baby james!  We still did not believe it was real until we were able to see and hear the baby's heartbeat.  It was an absolutely magical moment.  Nick and I were so happy our baby was healthy and we'll never forget that moment when we heard her tiny heart beat for the first time. 

Nick & Krista Plus One

We could not have been more excited to find out we are expecting!  Being parents is a dream of both of ours.  We are so excited to start this new adventure in our lives and can not wait to meet Baby James in November!
