</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My little Facebook ticker reminded me this morning... <strong>happy 29 weeks!</strong> It's crazy to think our little Stella, once the size of a sweet pea, is now the size of a squash. (Only two more fruit sizes to compare her to until she's here - LOL) She's taking advantage of having a bit of extra room - her nudges and movement are certainly getting stronger. Her sleeping habits are also a bit more in sync than before which is encouraging - when they started, she was tumbling at 2am. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Many of you already know this exciting news by now (thank you, Facebook) but it's taken me a while to get the news here for a lot of personal reasons including an ER scare, car accident and work getting extremely hectic. God never gives us more than we can handle - this I'm very certain - and the best news of all is baby Stella is doing wonderful. I hope all of the craziness is behind us... fingers crossed! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's hard to believe but we're in our last week of the 2nd trimester - where does the time go??? I need to get Brad to take a new picture of the bump. It's certainly changed since 16 weeks!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Couple fun things about baby at 19 weeks:</span></div><ul><li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">baby is about the size of a mango!</span></div></li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">a protective covering is developing over the baby, shielding it from the amniotic fluid</span></div></li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">One of the really fun things going on right now is that our nursery furniture is on its way! We found it initially at a place in Greenville, SC called <a href="http://www.babyfurnitureplus.net/">Baby Furniture Plus Kids</a> and instantly fell in love. I think I was drawn to the <a href="http://www.babyfurnitureplus.net/nursery/creations/ravenna.html">Ravenna</a> collection because it has a traditional look to it that will be great to use for years to come (and not always in a nursery necessarily) Since we're working a pretty limited room, space-wise, we decided just to go with the convertible crib, dresser/hutch combo and a <a href="http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html?asin=B000F78UAU&colid=29SYOSQ2IDFM8&coliid=I3EV2O7UZMQB8R&bckreg=baby">glider/ottoman</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Little did we know, my dad and stepmom actually had plans to surprise us with the dresser/hutch and my mom and stepdad did the same for the beautiful glider/ottoman - all during the same weekend! (thank you to them - we're so lucky to have incredible parents!) To complete the package, we went ahead and decided to buy the crib, only to find out it was on sale, too. Win, win, win. Can't wait to see how this all comes together! </span></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08066937423126688937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019371969240350587.post-3748957431004753902011-04-13T12:07:00.002-04:002011-04-13T12:09:47.373-04:00Wordless Wednesday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/N9oxmRT2YWw?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3cFBNPLKDWtCRw1hs1B3Q4QXf7_RLO8OQGU7oHaRXi4A4hyIAx45SBugMq1w87kwP3wiz_GM1SI1SCVZ85y7jSvyN-HkefwPjuBscvneYI6lreuDqRGMuvT8HJko_TuJseZpC7imSgJkR/s1600/18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3cFBNPLKDWtCRw1hs1B3Q4QXf7_RLO8OQGU7oHaRXi4A4hyIAx45SBugMq1w87kwP3wiz_GM1SI1SCVZ85y7jSvyN-HkefwPjuBscvneYI6lreuDqRGMuvT8HJko_TuJseZpC7imSgJkR/s1600/18.jpg" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>(baby is the size of a sweet potato!) </em></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The biggest milestone with this particular update is that baby is moving and I can feel it! I felt our little one move for the first time when we landed in Frankfurt, Germany a couple weeks ago. It was SUCH a crazy feeling: a ball of butterflies doing somersaults, much different for me than the feeling you get riding in an elevator or landing in a plane. Since then, I've felt him/her move a few times... I'm sure that will progress the further along we go!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Speaking of <strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">him</span></strong> or <strong><span style="color: #ea9999;">her</span></strong>, we're counting down the days until we find out what baby Stoehr will be... I can hardly stand the suspense! We get the big news next Thursday and while I'm not sure how we're planning to celebrate yet, it will make this Easter weekend one to remember (talk about a Good Friday!) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">OH, and how could I forget? I think Brad and I have nailed down our names: <em>Miller Patrick</em> if it's a boy and <em>Stella Reese</em> is if it's a girl! Miller is my maiden name and since I'm the only child between my parents, it's our way of carrying on my dad's name; Patrick is Brad's middle name. Stella Reese has no family connection to either name, we both just really like the combination. The more I hear them, the more I love them. <em>What a wonderful thing to mark off your mom-to-be list!</em></span></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08066937423126688937noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019371969240350587.post-48013007006772686982011-03-31T10:24:00.000-04:002011-03-31T10:24:10.462-04:0017 weeks!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDO3tGpucrGqKWgWnTWRH8LKHk7nPbyGTgxSsP6zTbK0nvcl0BEyCfOwjk90pvul8VSXbiN6Mz0RaYXp8Y-4TUyNxBQm6PXuDAl18ar8-DzGfG8x3bRg9O4SBsLHuP_PLz5__FlEaa8qf0/s1600/17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDO3tGpucrGqKWgWnTWRH8LKHk7nPbyGTgxSsP6zTbK0nvcl0BEyCfOwjk90pvul8VSXbiN6Mz0RaYXp8Y-4TUyNxBQm6PXuDAl18ar8-DzGfG8x3bRg9O4SBsLHuP_PLz5__FlEaa8qf0/s1600/17.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<div align="center"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here we are at 17 weeks and moving along quite nicely! I've felt wonderful lately - no sickness, my energy is continuing to return and baby is getting bigger each day. We have a doctor's appointment after we return from Germany (I'm telling you, this baby is my traveling good luck charm!) and in a couple short weeks, we'll know if we're having a <strong><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">boy</span></strong> or <span style="color: #ea9999;"><strong>girl</strong></span> - I can hardly stand it!</span></div><div align="center"><br />

It began POURING rain around midnight and hasn't shown any signs of letting up.

Yeah, me neither. That is until a couple months ago. Brad and I were enjoying our traditional Christmas dinner with chinese food (funny/long story I'll explain later) and this was the fortune I had waiting for me:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know how good God is to me and as silly as it sounds, this small piece of paper gave me peace in knowing our journey of growing our family was in good hands. Brad and I had been trying for over a year to have a baby and while we knew it would take some time due to some hurdles, it did get a bit discouraging at times. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Little did we know that when I opened this fortune cookie, it would prove to be more of a <em>confirmation</em> more than a glimpse into our future. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'm so excited to say that Brad and I are expecting our first baby this September and we couldn't be more over-the-moon to be parents.
