88 days.

i cannot believe our little Audrey will be here in 3 months! i couldn't believe it when my countdown timer read that there are only 88 days left, as of this morning. time is flying by! if you need me, i will be hiding in my closet :)

it seems as though i've gone into hiding already. pregnancy has made me somewhat anti-social (something about being bloated, cranky, and tired tends to make me that way) so i apologize if you have been worried or concerned about me and thanks for the text messages and phone calls.

the three of us are all doing fine, just trying to get ready -- financially, emotionally, and (me) physically for our sweet baby girl's arrival. the first step in doing this was to suck it up and go to Babies R Us to put a few things on our registry since we have had some inquiries lately. all the way to the store i gave Will the "pep talk" about how it might be overwhelming but let's just take it one aisle at a time, blah, blah, blah. i even let him be in charge of the registry gun. not thirty minutes into it, guess who go overwhelmed and had to leave immediately? me! we tossed the gun back at the lady and high-tailed it for the car! i had done a little bit of peeking around and some light research so i would feel prepared when i was in there but nothing can prepare a new parent for the floor to ceiling choices and "necessities" that you cannot survive parenthood without. it made me feel like i had gotten myself into something way over my head. of course, after common sense kicked in and i received some words of reassurance from friends and family i felt fine. whew!

i did the rest of the registry online and have not been back since. (although Will got to visit the Augusta store with his aunt (Nanny) when he was in the area for business and she sent him back with Audrey's car seat, a "baby snuggie," and a rubber ducky bath thermometer -- thank you again Nanny!) so for those of you who have asked...sorry for the delay and nervous sweating but we are now officially registered at Target and Babies R Us.

at my last few doctor appointments, Audrey has been right on track for growth and all is well for her. she is still breech and prefers to play on the right side of my belly. so much so that this is what i woke up to this morning:

a completely lopsided baby belly! even my belly button (still rockin the innie - woohoo!) has stretched out to the left to accomodate her. she is so strong and likes to play around in there ALL THE TIME! 4 am when i'm trying to sleep? oh yes. 2 pm during my presentation at work? you bet. (i got a lot of strange looks while i was standing up there -- you can SEE her moving around in there through my shirt from far away apparently haha) she is especially active whenever i'm around Will in the evening. that girl loves her dad's voice and hops, skips, and jumps whenever he is near. he sings her "the unicorn song" (from the movie Despicable Me) and it's so funny to see her respond to his 'singing.'

Aunt Kim gave me the best compliment and told me that i'm not nearly as big in person as i look in pictures. i wonder how many pounds the camera adds to pregnant women then? :) here i am at 26 weeks...

and at 27 weeks...

if you are confused by the background of these pictures i am in the bathroom at work. all of the mirrors in our new house are too high up for me to see myself so i spend most of my days not really knowing what i look like. ahh, life is great when you are 5'2" no? :)

we had a great time at dinner with my dad and brother last weekend. sitting in the kitchen with Will and as usual he was making fun of me in his 'Lindsey voice.' i think it's hilarious but i guess i never really thought of how girly my husband sounds when he is making fun of me until my dad came in and asked if Sara was there!! Will was a little embarrassed to admit that no, that was not Sara, it was HIM doing his impression of me! i don't know if we're gonna let him live that one down for a while haha

Audrey's crib arrived today and Will made a deal with me that if we could go fishing on Saturday, he would put everything together on Sunday. i'm really excited to see our nursery start to come together. thank you again to Will's parents for sending us such a beautiful gift. we are STILL unpacking but hopefully this weekend we'll finish a lot of it so i can finally show off our new place. we love the house and i think that it's going to be perfect for our little family of three.
