Seven Weeks Left!

Well I am almost there.
I still have quite a little to go but hopefully the time flies by!
Things have been going pretty good for me. I'm not too uncomfortable yet. It's getting a lot harder to get a good night's rest, or even sit for too long. He has moved head down and so now his little feet are inching their way up to my ribs! I am obsessed with watching how much he moves. I could sit for hours and watch my stomach move. It's so fun to see little parts of him sticking out of my side, or pushing my whole stomach to one side! He is still moving like crazy...it gives my stomach a workout. Maybe after he's born I'll have a 6-pack from all this exercise he's been giving my stomach...ok so probably not, but wouldn't that be nice!

We are starting the remodel in the next couple days so that means I have no nursery to decorate. I am a little stressed that this may not be done before this little guy gets here...keep your fingers crossed! So right now I am busy thinking of all the ideas and things that I will need to do once his nursery is finally done! The crib, bedding, and rocker have all arrived and I love them all!
I can't wait to decorate!

People have been asking me about his name...no it's not a secret, we just haven't decided 100% on how it will be spelled. Once we figure that out I will make a grand announcement!
Eric and I are both so excited for our little boy to get here. We are counting down the days and looking forward to this new adventure in our lives.
I will keep you all posted on the next following weeks and also some pictures of my ever growing tummy and the progress of our remodel!
Here is a picture of my sister and I at our Family Reunion last week. My sister is getting ready to have her baby in the next week or so and I couldn't be more excited for her. I will be going up there next week so I can be there when little baby Howell arrives!

I know some people don't like the bare belly pics but once you are pregnant you will want some of those as well :) It's so weird and amazing how much your body changes!

Hi Natalie! We've never actually met but I was really good friends with Eric growing up. We went to the same ward, seminary, high school, and even worked together (The New Rice Bowl-good times! ha) Anyway, I have come across your blog a few times but thought I would finally say hello! I am so excited to see how well you and Eric are doing and think you are the most adorable pregnant girl! I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures of the little one soon! The last few weeks do go by pretty fast! Congratulations!

I am sooo sad that I cannot be there with you while you are pregnant! You look awesome and so does Nic. 3 for her.... good golly! So are you only remodling the babies room?
There is NO DOUBT in my mind that you and Eric will be the best parents ever! Congrats Nattie! I love you!

You two look so freaking cute!! I love it! And I can't believe you're going to start a remodel! You're such a busy bee!! Yes, we definately have to get together soon. We will be coming up to Orem this weekend, and we'll be there for 2 weeks. You said something about going to Idaho next week. When will you be back? If I'm still up in Orem when you get back, we need to get together! Call me and let me know! I love ya girl! Less than 2 months left! WOO HOO!

You are getting so close. I promise this last little bit goes by so fast because you have so much to prepare for. I'm excited your remodel. Anxious to see you in a couple of weeks. If it makes you feel any better Boston's nursery was not completed until he was 3 months old

He's gonna be here soon!! I am so excited for you. I love the belly pics, I would have posted bare belly but mine never looked quite as good as yours!! Can't believe Nic is having hers in a week, how good does she look?! Tell her good luck and congrats for me. (since she's not much of a blogger!!)

Don't worry I got all four of your comments :)The hikes we've been on have been beautiful. But, I have to say I am totally out of shape. I'm not elegant about hiking whatsoever. lol While on the other hand Brad doesn't even get winded and can go for miles and miles. One day I hope I can be like that.
