Face Shot



Here is our little beaner at 32 1/2 weeks. She finally decided to show her little face. Although she managed to get her hands up there shortly after we were looking, we were able to get one decent picture. You can really only see half of her face in the picture but what a sight to see her face. Scott says she looks more like a human and less alien-like now. What a relief that is! Her nose looks a lot more like mommy's but we'll really have to wait and see until after she arrives. According to her measurements, she now weighs just over 4lbs. and should gain about 1/2lb. a week from here on out. She already has a full head of hair too, although we weren't too surprised by that fact :)

We've arrived in Denmark!



Well, this is officially my first post from Denmark. We've arrived safe and sound with just a few minor glitches. Our original flight was canceled and the re-booked flight ended up being delayed in both tri-city and amsterdam. Luckily, we didn't miss any of our connecting flights and arrived in Denmark, with all 6 of our bags, just an hour later than planned. The flight itself wasn't as bad as I was anticipating, but I think the extra 5 inches of leg room due to being in economy plus made a big difference. Neither one of us got much sleep so we've been feeling the effects of jetlag the last couple of days.

We were busy as soon as we arrived with collecting and sorting through all of our belongings we left in Esbjerg last year. Had to get rid of some of it so it would all fit in the car Scott was taking to Sweden. I don't think there was room for anything else in that car! Scott is now in Sweden gearing up to play his first game with his new team and dropping off all of our stuff. I'm looking forward to just getting there so we can get somewhat settled before little beaner arrives. We will have a lot to do in those last 4 weeks!

The latest belly pic is me at 32 1/2 weeks and boy am I feeling every new cm of growth these days. I will go for another checkup next week here in Denmark to make sure things still look good and hopefully get the ok to fly to Sweden in 3 weeks. Luckily, that will be a short 30-40 minute flight so should be all set.

30 weeks


It's hard to believe I only have 10 weeks to go! We are busy preparing for beaner and our big move across the pond. Buying last minute things has been going on for the last two months, it seems. I'm just wondering now if you can ever really be ready?!? We'll start packing up the house and getting ready to move it all to storage in the next couple of weeks. Thankfully, a friend of ours will be helping with the actual move since I won't be contributing much this year.

Our last appt. went well. I passed my glucose screen and am measuring right on track with weight and size. As you can see from my latest belly pic, we're both definitely growing!

Looking forward to Andy and Nicole's wedding- one week from today. Our last big hurrah before we leave.
