♥Our Wedding Pt. 1♥

On June 4, 2011 I married the man of my dreams ♥♥
I love looking at these so much still, I thought I'd share.

Our photographer wanted to try out doing some video too, which I didn't mind at all since it left us with this beautiful piece.

To the song of our first dance Keith Urban- Only You Can Love Me This Way.. which people yes believe it, was the very first time we danced together.

The day started gloomy and rained off and on all day so our planned outdoor ceremony had to be tented and reception had to be moved indoors. I had a different vision but in the end this was such a dream. It turned out beautiful. Our ceremony started at 5pm and the rain held off for just long enough to get our pictures done.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from before the ceremony and during.

 

Trust me there are plenty more where these came from.. Stay tuned for our reception and my favorite formals..

Baby C in 3D/4D

Here's lil Miss at 16 weeks in 3D/4D

The woman we saw said she got the "Most Active Baby Award" that she's had in weeks..She had a hard time getting shots but I love them. We went early on to see the gender so the really cool 3D/4D shots you can get would be a lot better if we waited 'til 24-32 weeks or even longer.. But I kinda like the idea of still being surprised once she comes.. So far the woman said she looks like she has daddy's nose and his deep set eyes.. :) I was just a lil curious why her head was so lumpy but I guess that's normal.

Our girl

Kinda creepy lol but look at that smile!

She was doing this a lot.. Maybe she didn't want to hear us?

Hard to see- but confirmation lil Miss has 'Girlie Parts'

We can't wait until our next ultra sound in a couple weeks. Every chance I get to see her I love.

16 Weeks Belly Update

excuse the dirty mirror :x

How Far Along: 16 weeks! (as of 1-4-12).. I'm a week behind :o

Size of the Baby: An avocado!

Maternity Clothes: Still wearing my normal clothes.. although a couple of my jeans are starting to need to be unbuttoned since they're too tight!

Stretch Marks: Still none yet..luckily! but need to really start applying lotion!

Weight gain: +4lbs total. I asked the dr. at last weeks check up if it's ok that i'm not really gaining and she said since I started at just a lil overweight it's great because I don't want to gain too much..(sigh** yes i was considered overweight by like 2lbs)

Sleep: Same issues with my hips when sleeping.. I wake up more frequently to switch sides and sometimes catch that I had moved to my back and freak! I had a bad dream the other night where that rare chance where I was sleeping on my back the baby cut off the blood to my heart! SCARY!

Best Moment of the Week: Having the re-confirmation at the 3d/4d ultrasound that she is still a "SHE"!

Movement: Not yet!

Food Cravings: No cravings really.. although all that really sounds good for dinner is sourdough toast or cereal.. 

Gender: Baby Girl!

Belly Button in or out: In

Anything making you queasy or sick?: Nope, nothin

What I miss: same shit different week ;) wine of course and hot baths..of course once I am able to take hots baths again i won't be wanting to since it'll be so hot out! And the whole wine thing.. I need to do some research on that since i plan on breastfeeding.. 

What I'm looking forward to: Our 3d/4d ultra sound!(it was so much fun!) Our little girl is still too small to see all the detailed features but I'll have to share some pics later from it. And she was moving around like crazy! Bob asked " and you can't feel that?!" The woman said lil miss gets the most active baby award that she's had all week! So I can't wait 'til I can feel it all..

Nursery: We're starting on our big projects this weekend so hopefully soon we can start on the nursery! I do need to start on the bedding though!

Emotions: Better.. not as irritable. I think trying not to worry about so many unnecessary things helped..
