Last Post before Baby Girl Rupp~

We have almost made it!  We have a little over a week and a half before our due date.  When women say that the last couple of weeks are the longest, most uncomfortable days of their pregnancy.... they are not kidding.  I am SO ready to hold her in my arms instead of my belly! ;)

Kyle and I have been keeping ourselves busy, doing last minutes things for fun, knowing that having a baby will change our summer plans (for the better of course)!

We went to Werner Park to watch the Omaha Stormchasers.

We also went to the State Track Meet... It was Hot!

Last minute Daddy Duties! :)

Our "kids" have been getting some last minute cuddles in.  It is almost like they know that they are soon going to be replaced!

Maggie chilling in Mom's spot.

We caught Maverick on the Baby Camera.  ;)

 Maverick loves to lay on my belly.... Baby Girl, however, does not!

She tries to kick him off the entire time.  It is really cute!

The same weekend that we announced we were expecting the beginning of June, Kyle's brother Chris and his fiancé' informed the family that that were planning on getting married the last weekend in May. So, for the past 9 months, we have been on our tip toes about being at the wedding or not..... Stressful!!  Well, we made it!!  It turned out to be a beautiful wedding and Kyle and I were both able to attend!~

38 weeks Bare... YIKES!

Alrighty folks!  I am HOPING & PRAYING that this is the last post before her birthday!  I will give details as soon as she decides that being in our arms instead of my belly is better for e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e.... ok, well maybe just me! ;)

Getting Close!!

May....Already?  I can not believe that May is here!  Our daughter is almost done "cooking"~ YAY!  This pregnancy has gone by so fast that I'm actually sad to think that it's almost over.  :(

We have been very busy getting everything ready for her arrival.  If you ask Kyle, he would tell you that I have nested way too long.  We have deep cleaned the house about four times now and I am still not satisfied!  ;)

In this family, we love to plan everything exciting all at one time.  So, we decided to put a graduation, a wedding, and a new baby all together.  My brother is graduating from Engineering School in Milwaukee the same weekend that my brother in law is getting married in Grand Island, which also happens to be the same weekend that I will be 39 weeks pregnant.... (guess they forgot to ask me!~)  Obviously, I can't travel -sorry Brian- but my goal is to make the wedding!  I have been secretly hoping that she comes early so the anticipation and the anxiety of the unknown would be gone, but now that the wedding is 2 weeks from today, I think I am pretty content with her hanging out right where she is a little longer.  2 weeks.... 2 weeks...Yikes! Kyle is the best man and I am a bridesmaid, so I really hope she cooperates and lets mom and dad enjoy the family weekend in GI (don't tell my midwife).

We also had a Couples Baby Shower at Schmidley's.  It was beautiful weather to grill out, let the kids play in the sand, the boys swing some clubs, and the girls talk about babies!  

Getting the Nursery ready...

(...more pics to come soon!)

We have been doing lots of laundry!

Newborn cloth diapers

 ...and I have tiny hands!  (how I am not supposed to lose these little things?!)

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Church, Cilantro's Mexican food, Homemade margaritas and great friends.  It was a perfect weekend!

Kyle played in a memorial golf tournament, so we spent this weekend in Grand Island.  The weather was perfect for sitting outside on the deck, under the stars, with family and fire.

Macy was enjoying the evening!

Well, it's Sunday night and back to another busy week at work.  We are excitingly counting down the days until our little princess arrives. There are lots of very fun things in our future and we can't wait to get the summer started!!

A Picture Says A Thousand Words

Where has the time gone?!  I can't believe it has almost been a month since my last post.  Life's been a little busy... to say the least!

We have had two showers for Baby Girl Rupp and went from not having any pink to my entire house is pink!!! Kyle just loves it :)

Lets just start with pictures!

Baby Girl keeps growing and we are getting closer to her birthday!  She is already loved by so many that Kyle and I are incredibly grateful for the people God has placed in our lives.  May is full of fun, family, and friends and before you know it.... she will be here! YAY~  We can't wait to meet her. :)
