She made her arrival!

Whitney Rose Lee was born at 2:29 am on Friday, June 19th, 2009. She weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and measured 20 inches long and has a full head of hair!

1 month to go!

We have 1 month to go before our little girl arrives (hopefully no longer!) We had some maternity pictures taken at Target a month ago and I have definitely grown since then. I am guessing that is why they suggest getting pictures taken at 7 months before the belly gets as big as mine is now!

Oh Baby!

My mom e-mailed me my first photo today and I have also received Zach's from his mom so I thought it would be fun to share them. My mom also sent a photo of me at 9 months so I looked for another photo of Zach and I thought he would like this one! Here we are as babes...

Everything is looking good!

I had my 4 hour long screening for gestational diabetes on Tuesday and things came out fine. They said that one out of my 4 tests came out with my blood/sugar level raised a little but not enough to be concerned. So, they say I need to watch my sugar intake just a bit. Then I also found out that my iron level is a little low so I get to take extra supplements for that! I will do what it takes to keep her healthy!

Now we just need a baby!

We picked up the crib that we purchased from our friends yesterday so we got busy putting the final touches to her room. All we need to make the room perfect and complete is a little baby girl!

We did hang one other thing today but we are not revealing that until she arrives!

7 months and growing...

I am now a little shy of 7 months pregnant and feeling bigger and more uncomfortable each day. I saw my doctor on Thursday and everything is going great except that I failed my first glucose screening for gestational diabetes. I go back for more tests on Tuesday but since everything has gone great so far I am not too worried.

Baby Showers!

The first two photos are of an adorable cake & diaper cake from the teachers I work with. The rest of the photos are of the shower my sisters threw for us in Glen Ellyn. It was the most amazing shower ever and thanks to everyone who came!

We are tickled PINK!

Zach and his dad will be seeing PINK after this weekend! They did an awesome job painting the nursery for our baby girl! We purchased a crib and changing table from our friends in town who have 2 year old twins and no longer needed one of their sets. We have yet to get the crib from them so it is missing from the pictures. We have yet to add shelves, her name above the crib and hooks for her towel and robe! I am looking forward to my spring break in a couple of weeks to make some finishing touches before she arrives at the end of my school year!

Pregnancy update!

We had a fun visit from my parents last weekend! We spent some time in Omaha shopping for some baby stuff! We also spent Valentine's Day going out to eat at Indian Oven. It is an authentic Indian restaurant in the Old Market, downtown Omaha. My meal was the Kadai Gosht; spiced lamb with flavors of ginger, jalapeno and fenugreek. We also ordered the Naan as a side bread. They use the bread very similar to the way Ethiopians use their injera. The food was VERY good because all of the plates have a little kick to them. I finished my meal off with Mango Cheesecake. My excuse to indulge was because Zach and my dad both ordered a 24 oz. bottle of Taj Mahal beer!

When in Omaha I picked up some accessories to make some headbands and clips for our baby! So... that tells you that we are having A GIRL!!! We found out several weeks ago and have been adding more and more pink clothes to her wardrobe!
