Winter Waiting....

The days and weeks just keep ticking away.  Kyle and I have been putting in looong hours at work, which makes the time fly by.  We go to work in the dark and come home in the dark and I am so glad we are doing it together!  We are settling into our new place and making it feel more like home.  We have been discussing getting the nursery started (I know- she won't be here for awhile, but planning for her makes it feel so much more real!)

Maverick and Maggie have been extra cuddly lately, and Kyle and I joke that they know their time is limited as being our "babies" and getting all of our attention.

Maverick making sure Dad knows he is here and available to be rubbed :)

(Mav doesn't care about personal space!)

Maggie loves to cuddle with Mom!

We decided on pink, gray and white for lil' Miss's room. Our parents,minus my dad :(, came up this past weekend and helped paint the nursery.  We picked up a couple pieces of furniture and it is really coming together. Kyle's mom, Jody, is going to make the crib set and we can't wait to put it all together.  I will post pictures when it is finished!

My belly keeps getting bigger and bigger and it is still amazing to see the change, even within a few days.  Baby Rupp has been really active lately and loves to show off all of her gymnastic moves around  3:00 am!  I wake up tired, but I can't stop smiling when I think of a little person moving and shaking inside my belly. Sometimes I think it isn't fair that I get to experience this awesome connection with our little girl and all Kyle gets is a crabby pregnant wife! Kyle got to feel her move for the first time the other night, and I have never seen him light up like that.  He was so excited.... it was priceless!

22 weeks

Baby Girl is almost a whole foot long and is finally over one pound!  All of my pregnancy apps and emails tell me to get ready to really start growing and gaining!  Oh boy.... here we go!!
