2 years later...

Aurelia Joy was born August 5th, 2018. She weighed 8 lbs 6 oz and was 21 inches long.  She is literally a JOY to us, and completes our family.  

36 week update

Visited the midwife today and baby 3 seems to be head down and measuring at 36 weeks!  She's super active and reactive to outer noises. Here's some pics from our 36 photo shoot, using scrabble letters to spell out her name just like we did with her siblings!




We can't wait to meet her!

Baby 3 on the Way!

Our littlest love is well on her way at 32 weeks, due August 6th.  She's kicking and rolling constantly, and very loved by her big brother and sister! Here's a picture of her from her halfway ultrasound! 



We announced her arrival at Christmas with the following present:

 

And here we are around 28 weeks:

 

Coriana Elise Briesemeister has arrived!

Born on Christmas Day, Coriana Elise arrived at 10:14am weighing 8lbs 6oz and 20.5 inches in length.  We had a loving and peaceful home water birth, and our little Cori arrived with no known complications.  Her parents were thrilled to finally meet her, and so was her proud big brother Everett.

38 weeks and a baby shower!

We got to celebrate with a baby shower thrown by Auntie Elisa at the Tea Company in Country Village - it was marvelous!

At 38.5 weeks I am ready for this baby to make her appearance!  

37 weeks and counting down....

We had a wonderful 36 weeks pregnant at Thanksgiving this year, with a loving baby shower in Yakima, thrown by Auntie Faith, Auntie Steph and Grandma Lena!

And we had a nice family photo session for baby Bee with Nate Robinson Photography (Yay Uncle Nate!) that I will upload more photos from later!  Here's a sneak peak at the growing belly!

We are so close to having her here and I'm thrilled that we've also gotten closer to the right name.  At her 37 week prenatal appointment today she was healthy and all seems well on the road to arriving earth side! 

Here are some of the amazing maternity pics that Uncle Nate took at 36 weeks! 

32 weeks!

Here we are at 32 weeks along!

Also, Happy Halloween!

 Baby Bee is a pumpkin just like Ev was when he was in mommy's tummy!

28 weeks bump picture

Here we are at 28 weeks, entering the third trimester and all is well!  We are in the sweet spot of pregnancy (for us) where we aren't too nauseous or uncomfortable yet.  Baby bee is kicking up a storm and roughly the size of a large eggplant.

Day dreaming...

I found this at a kid's consignment store for $7, and couldn't help but pick it up for our little girl on the way.  Making plans. :)

24 Weeks Belly Bump

Here we are at 24 weeks - she's been kicking up a storm!  We just finished our move to our first owned home in Shoreline, and are exhausted but happy to be here!  This pic is taken in our new front yard.

It's a.....

GIRL!  We had our 21 week ultrasound and saw our beautiful, healthy little girl moving around on the screen.  She was tucked in a horseshoe shape and kept the ultrasound technician on her toes!  We are excited to meet her in another 20 weeks or so. :)

20 weeks, half way there!

Baby Bee is on the way! 19 weeks update

Tonight is our 9 year anniversary and Baby Bee is kicking away as I write this! We have our mid-way pregnancy ultrasound in two weeks, I can't wait to see how Baby is developing and growing. We might even get to see if it's a boy or girl that will be joining our family in December! I'll update with bump pictures on my next post. :) Ev is in love his Baby Bee already, I hope he enjoys the ultrasound experience with us!

He's here! ;)

Almost 10 months later, a new post! LOL As you know, Everett Conrad arrived after a night of laboring at 11:44am on Valentine's Day! He was 9lbs and perfect. :) We were able to take him home that night, and it was the beginning of a completely and utterly new life for us. We are so happy he is in our family!

40 weeks!

So we've hit 40 weeks and he's not here yet... which we're completely fine with! I was able to get my last week of work in, and everything should be ready for my substitute, which is a huge relief. Now I have time to wash his newborn clothes and blankets and make sure everything is ready! Here's a pic of me at 40 weeks:



Maybe he'll arrive on 2/12/2012! Tee hee! If he doesn't, no worries! I'm not terribly uncomfortable, and I'm feeling a lot of peace and patience about his arrival. No stress!

Homemade Baby Bump Photo Shoot

So we took some pics of our baby bump at 37 weeks, and threw in some flair for the fun of it! Here's a few of the pics we ended up with!










We had fun!

Baby Showers

So we've been blessed with some baby showers, in which we've played some hilarious games and ate some nummy food! We also got some awesome stuff to help us prepare for baby boy's arrival! Here's some pics from the last shower held over the winter break:







I also got to play with the cutest little lady ever, Lily!!




We are super grateful for all of the lightly used (and in some cases never used) second hand boy's clothes we've received, he'll be well dressed!

He's been kicking less and rolling more, and keeping his foot firmly stuck in my ribs, with another pushing out of my side (you can see it poking out).

We're working on getting his room ready, and I'll put up some pics once it's all cute!

32 Weeks!

Well here we are at 32 weeks, and I am psyched to have two weeks off for the holidays! We've been going to birth classes, which have been super fun and informative! Here's the latest bump pics:

Third Trimester!!

We've entered the third trimester, aka 28 weeks! :) Here's some new bump pictures:

He's taken to in-utero parkour lately! :) Still feeling good, started prenatal yoga, it's nice to meet other ladies in similar situations. Also I'm craving meat, specifically BEEF. LOL

Halloween Pumpkin and Baby Gear

For Halloween I dressed up Baby as a Jack-O-Lantern!

We've also registered at Amazon.com...but are keeping our eyes trained like a hawk on craigslist, and already found some amazing finds!! Here's some of the cool stuff we've obtained either via craigslist, Amazon or gifts.
