30 weeks, let the countdown begin!

October is nearly over and the leaves are beginning to fall off the trees!  Last week Tim, Tommy and I enjoyed having our pictures taken at Forrest Park.  I wanted to get some nice photos of my "belly" and I also wanted some nice family photos... I have already been able to review the photos and WOW, did I get exactly what I wanted from that photo shoot!

For anyone who would like to "preview" the photos please use this link and information to access them:

click on "website"
click on "client"

enter "wheeler" for the password and it will bring you to a slide show of the photos.  I will have a copy of the photos on disc shortly and I can not wait to get some of them printed and put up on our newly painted walls at home!

I have to compliment on Melany's work, she was an amazing photographer and was able to capture exactly what I wanted in just an hour... If anyone in Western MA or CT is looking for a photographer, whether it is for a wedding/maternity/children or even newborn photos please give Melany a call... She was wonderful to work with and the end result was breathtaking!

This week I am 30 weeks pregnant (OMG!).  Here is my 30 week update:

How your baby's growing:

Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)

This upcoming weekend is already Halloween!  Tommy is going to be "super mario"... We host Halloween at our house because Tommy's cousins, Aidan and Andy, do not have trick or treating in Granville.  We have some additional guests this year as more "Brown's" have moved to Granville... Welcome Tony, Jason & Matty!  Last weekend they arrived from Wisconsin and we all helped unload the huge moving truck!  It was quite the experience for all of us! :)

 

We have finished adding a "clean coat" of paint to our new bedroom and hope to move our bedroom this week.  I can't wait to have our old bedroom empty so we can start getting the baby's room together.  There is just so much to do in 10 weeks and so little time to get it all done.  We have been enjoying our new dining/living room area.  My goal is to find a queen size headboard/footboard for our bed that isn't too expensive... If anyone is looking to get rid of one, let me know!! :)
 
Here is one of the many pictures that Melany Christine took last week.... Looks like we'll have to take some more next year once we have our baby girl to add to the photos!!  Enjoy your week!
