Just for baby Mmmj

Here is MJs tree all done! and also some pictures showing the progress, and the proud daddy working on it on his lunch break! He was so excited to get it all done... he wanted it to be a "rainbow tree" and I think thats exactly what it is. It is even more bright and colorful in person.
Our next OB appointment is September 8th, and after that I have to start going every week!

Moving right along...

Miss MJ is growing a lot! I feel like she is running low on room in there as she drags her little arms through my vital organs. We have been getting lots done, mostly thanks to helpful family members! Marisa and Ricky came and painted the room (and the bathroom!) for us and it looks great! I wasnt so sure about Matts color choice, but it looks really cute. My cousin Rekedenes husband Chris came and sketched a huge tree on the wall for us and now we are working on painting it. I had ordered some vinyl decorations for the walls, but the tree was a lot smaller than I had expected so we really appreciated him coming and drawing one for us. He is an amazing artist!
I cant wait to see the whole room done , it seems like things move slowly but now they are really coming together. We also moved our bedroom around to make room for baby! We are very excited that everything is running smoothly - we cant wait to meet her.

Also, the baby shower is coming up! I am SO excited to see all our friends and family, and I'm sure its going to be so much fun. Now I just need something to wear :)

Spoonful of sugar

Thats what lil Miss Martha needed at 3 am. I know it always gets rid of my hiccups, but how do you get that through to a currently unborn baby? :) Apparently you don't, you just lay there until the hiccups are gone - an hour later. Everyone kept asking me if she had the hiccups yet and now I know why! It was so weird and theres no way to sleep through it. It was almost like she was surprised too, she kept rolling from side to side and kicking around... the whole time. Needless to say, I'm a little bit sleepy this morning!

MJ the stubborn one...

Well its official, shes just like her daddy. He likes to show me a certain inappropriate finger every time I try to take his picture - she just likes to hide her face.

We had decided to do the 3/D ultrasound to get some cute pictures of her... and it turns out she wasnt in the mood. I was glad to do it anyway because my granny came along and she had never seen an ultrasound before. I think it was neat for her to see the baby moving around, opening and closing her mouth and shaking her little fist.




The next big event is the baby shower! I am so excited - it will be great to see a lot of people I havent seen in forever - and punch and cake are always good.
