Our bundle of joy on the way: )

Good morning!!  This update is LONG overdue!  In fact, I feel awful I don't have a post on here announcing that Joel and I are expecting!  Considering I am now over 26 weeks along, I am sure everybody knows by now: )  Joel and I are SO excited to meet our precious baby girl!  She is due on June 2nd, so time is winding down!  I feel so fortunate- I have felt great throughout my entire pregnancy thus far.  There was definitely nauseousness during the first trimester, but nothing I couldn't combat with food: )  And I only got "sick" one day, so you can't beat that!!  I love being pregnant.... every little kick and punch I feel is so amazing to me!  Other women assure me I won't be enjoying these kicks and punches as much in a month or two, but I'm pretty sure she has already bruised my ribs, and I'm still loving every little kick- lol!  What an awesome little miracle in there: )  Joel is going to be such a great daddy.... our baby girl is always the first thing on his mind, he reads her books, and he loves feeling her kick.  We have our names narrowed down to about 3 favorites, but we're not sharing: )  We have a lot to accomplish before she arrives, but we are so anxious to meet her!  We are so thankful and feel so blessed to have a precious baby girl on the way!  We had our ultrasound at 19 weeks (so almost 2 months ago), and Joel and I both thought that was the coolest thing ever.  To see our little babe on the monitor, and hear that strong little heart beat, is enough to bring a person to tears!  So awesome!  She was a little stubborn at first, and she did not look comfortable at all.  I'd get a sore neck if I laid like that: )  Below is a video they sent home with us from the ultrasound, and you can watch her heart beating! 



And now for some long overdue updates.....
Aubrey's baptism!  She looked so adorable in the dress her Great-Grandma Volz made for her.  What a precious little peanut!  Proud Godparents were Grandma and Grandpa Volz.  It was a wonderful baptism!
I know I already have some Halloween pictures on here, but thought I'd post this anyway.... it has mine and Joel's pumpkin family too.  LOL: )
Trevor turned ONE!!!  We had an awesome Hawkeye tailgate party for him!  Hard to believe he's one already!!  Check out that awesome Herkey cake!!  Is T-dawg cute or what?!  : )

 Just a few pictures from Christmas at the Volz's. 
 And a few adorable pictures of the little princess, Aubrey, as well as the Ballard boys.  Too cute!!
