Getting ready for Baby

I have finally gotten around to taking a picture of myself with a belly. Josh has been working so much lately - including a week-long trip to New Mexico for training - that I actually made Caleb take a picture of me.  So this was taken about a week ago, at 25 weeks. I go to the doctor again tommorow for a 26 week check-up and ultrasound. I think everything is going well, as far as I know! I can feel the baby kicking as I type this and I think we have pretty much decided on the name Avery. No middle name for sure yet though.

I have been putting together her nursery already though and I LOVE it. I painted a tree mural on the wall and have her name in wooden letters hanging from the bottom branch of the tree. I still have a couple more little projects to finish though...

This pregnancy has been pretty good compared to the others. I haven't had to do bedrest yet! (Good thing too the way Josh has been gone...) The whole dog thing is keeping me a little busier than I would like, especially while Josh was gone for a week and I had to walk it and let it out all the time, but oh well. I guess we're dog people now. Josh thinks he's applying to be a K-9 officer at the police department here in Rexburg now too, which means we may even become a 2 dog family. Joy.

I said to him, "In January, I was just so excited about expanding our family this year by just one member. Now you keep wanting to bring DOGS into our family!? Why!?!" But I guess it makes him happy. I must be the best wife in the world. First I move to Idaho, now the dogs.  :)

Anyways, that's my little pregnancy and dog rant! Here is a picture of me (25 weeks) ... and the dog (about 4-5 months old...I think).
