One of the sweetest moments in the world

I'm over 35 weeks pregnant now and feeling pretty uncomfortable!  Luckily I have a sweet husband around that tries to help me.  Like when he rubbed lotion on my poor, dry feet that I can no longer reach!  Yes, it did take some sweet talking by me for him to get it done.. but in the end, he's a good husband.  What I adore more than all of that is when I am restless at night and using all of my strength just to swing my large belly from my left side to my right, and my husband hears my groaning and tries to soothe me and his baby girl.  It's so sweet how it's an instant reaction, he reaches his hand out and rubs my tummy for several minutes!  Last night he tried to pull my t-shirt down to cover my belly too... but unfortunately my belly is outgrowing many of my shirts so that didn't happen! haha

Daddy's First Semi-Father's Day!!

Yesterday, June 20th was Aaron's first semi-father's day!!  We didn't go all out because our baby cupcake isn't here to celebrate with us, but I did buy Aaron a "Daddy-to-be" Father's Day Card and an adorable onesie for Isla that says "I love Daddy on it", attached below is the pic of it!  It was cute because I laid it down by Aaron Sunday night on the bed and he said he couldn't wait to play with her little feet when she is laying next to him there!  He's going to be the most amazing Daddy to her, both Isla and I are lucky to have such a great man in our lives! 

I also bought my Dad a cute sign for his house that says "Grandkids Always Welcome, Parents by Appointment" and it's a rustic red color, he quickly hung it up by the back door (the main entrance to the house)!!  So, I'm very glad to see that my 2 favorite men loved their gifts! 

Kinda like the Batphone, it's the Isla-Phone!!!

Aaron works the night shift at the hospital, so he sleeps during the day.  He often keeps his phone on silent because so many people still call him during the day while he's trying to sleep.  That makes me worry incase I need to get ahold of him for baby reasons, whether it's over an emergency or possibly the birth of our baby girl.  Aaron came up with a great plan to get a go-phone through AT&T that is only used for Isla reasons and I'll be the only person with the number to the phone.  We call it the 'Isla phone' and we joke around that she's the youngest person to own a cell phone!  Aaron was holding the phone up to my belly last night asking Isla if she liked her new phone.. I thought it was funny :)

Daddy's first kick!

Isla has been kicking up a storm and wiggling around for quite awhile.  However it seems like everytime she's kicking and I want Aaron to come feel, she stops!  She seems to be a stubborn little thing like her Mommy...
Aaron had to work over this last weekend and he's on the night shift, so I was in bed sleeping when got home early Sunday morning around 7:30.  He walked into our bedroom and kissed me hello and started saying a few things to me when "WHAM".. Isla started kicking like a baby ninja in my tummy!  She must have recognized her Daddy's voice.. she kept kicking so I told Aaron where to put his hand and he finally got to feel his sweet baby girl's movement for the first time!  Aaron's on cloud 9 saying she's "Daddy's little Isla."  Seeing the smile on his face and the happiness in his eyes made my morning...  ok, well it actually made my weekend!

Baby News!!!

I've decided what a better way to start off my new blog but to talk about this beautiful baby we're having!!  Aaron and I found out the sex of our baby at our last doctor appt which was May 13th and it's a GIRL!!   We're naming her Isla Ann.  We're so excited to use Ann as her middle name because that was Aaron's Mother's middle name (but her's was spelled with an 'e' at the end), my Mother's middle name, one of my Great Aunt's first names on my Dad's side of the family and my own middle name.  It's so neat to be able to keep a name so beautiful in our family, maybe we can even be lucky enough to carry it further!  Isla is due on Sept 25th, 2010 which is just one day shy of our One Year wedding anniversary!  What an exceptional gift, we're just so giddy with excitement!
