oh boy, what's a girl to do...
well.... on monday heath and i attended our 3rd baby appt and the 20wk ultrasound!!! everything appears to be good!! we got to see our baby... it moved around a lot (even though i couldnt feel it at all) as well as hear/see the heartbeat (around 160bpm). we walked away with several ultrasound pictures (which are amazing!) of baby's face, farm, foot and crotch. ...yes, we found out the sex too. we are expecting a little baby girl sometime b/w jan 25 and feb 9, 2010!!! knowing that the baby is a she and seeing her move around made this so much more real to me. now all i have to do is continue to eat and live as healthy as i can...and wait patiently until i can feel her move! we do have a name picked out (which i love even more now!) but that will remain a secret until she's born! and, if i do say so myself, its a lovely name! well, that's all for now! im just glad things are looking good and lil baby b is growing and doing well! xoxo

So as of this past Sun, I am halfway thru Baby B's pregnancy! The time has been going fast (and I know the 2nd half will go just as if not faster)....but as real as this all is, for some reason it hasnt "hit me" hit me, you know?
This coming Mon (9/14) we go in for appointment #3 and the 20wk ultrasound to find out if Baby B is a he or a she! We are are pretty excited for this. I know some people like the sex to be a surprise, but I know I'm glad we're finding out. Let's just hope we can! And, of course, that Baby B is healthy and everything is going as planned :)
Not much else is new as far as baby things go… I think we’ll be able to “plan” more in a week from now. I know I shouldn’t be nervous, but I still haven’t been able to feel the baby at all. Heath was telling me that “first time moms” tend not to feel anything until b/w weeks 17-22…. But I still want to be able to feel the baby! And I’m sure it’s something I want now…and later it’ll be more like “Seriously, why does this kid move so much?!” Haha. But, I want to be able to feel him/her!
We do have names picked out, both for boy and girl. Im still unsure whether or not we’ll be keeping that part a secret or not, but I really really like the names we picked. I still feel like I’m “not ready” and/or “too young” to be a mother….but I am very excited and feel blessed. And like I’ve said before, I just hope I can do a good job. …But I guess, only time will tell. ;)

1.25.2010
random date? maybe. well, actually no....
so i think most people already know so i feel safe writing this (plus i think NO ONE) actually reads my silly lil blog. BUT...
in early june i found out that heath & i are going to have a baby!!! though quite the surprise we are both very excited (and of course nervous). both our families and good friends know, and also share our excitement. :)
jan 25th 2010 is my official due date, but as always, we'll see. as of this past sun i am 17 weeks along, so a little under "half way". crazy right? all i know is the next 23ish weeks are going to go by so fast. i just hope we are ready!!!
in addition to this new baby, i am in the process of moving to minnesota to be w/ heath. he is still waiting on his house (please keep him/that in your thoughts& prayers)... so i guess for the time being ill be w/ him in his townhouse apt in eagan. which is a nice place...... but obviously not his house. he has been so patient! we just want things to go through!!
but anyway its kinda crazy to think i'll be a mommy in just a few short months. in some ways i feel ready and other not, which i suppose is natural. but so far its been good, fun & (knock on wood) fairly easy, as far as my pregnancy has been. (i was lucky to have little to no "morning sickness", etc.) but everyday i just hope & pray for a happy/healthy baby!
in a few weeks (sep 14) we will have the 20wk ultrasound & appt so we (hopefully) will be able to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl!!! of course we both want a healthy baby...but like most dad's i think heath secretly wants a little boy. growing up ive always wanted boys too.....but even at the start of this pregnancy, i'vejust "had the feeling" that this baby is a girl. but, we will find out very soon :) we also have names picked out already, but will be keeping those a secret!! so in january or february you'll know officially who little baby baumgard will be!
not much else has gone on. we try to plan here and there. im getting things worked out at my job w/ HR and leave and such. we'll have to nail down daycare.... but other than that, it's still a "one day at a time" kinda strategy. oh, well we did start a registary this past weekend. just a few things for now, but it was still fun :)
more to come!!

a midsummer night's dream
it's half way through july... through summer?! NO EFFING WAY!? seriously, where has the time gone. things and life in general are just flying on by.
the weather has been weird. some really HOT/HUMID days, some mild days and a lot of "cool/cold" summer days. i guess i liek the variety, but my tan would like more intense rays days!
life is good right now. i am so so so in love and it's amazing. my boyfriend is so wonderful and i cannot imagine my life w/o him..... i am truly blessed. all i know is i cant wait to spend the rest of my life with him; his handsome face and loving heart. oh, and he makes me laugh!!
i still havent made it to a twins game. hopefully heath and i can go at some point. i jsut have really really gotten into baseball the past few years. sadly ihavent been to a twins game since college. this needs to change!
in a few wks is the hamersky family reunion then amanda's wedding. i'm def looking forward to both. seeing the fam, getting away....NOT WORKING!! what of that doesnt sound good?!
not much else to say for now. stay tuned for some big, exciting news! cant say what or when, but i'll share eventually! ;)
