So, we've told the family we were trying to decide between Matthew and Jason...we've finally decided! Well, for now...haha!! We keep going back to Matthew....so we've decided that his name will be:

Matthew Alvin Kane Hamre

Alvin, is for Landon's Grandpa Hamre - he just passed away this past October and he was really special to Landon. Kane is Landon's middle name, and it's also his Maternal Great-grandmother's maiden name.

So, there you have it! Baby H finally has a name!!

Nursery and other fun things!

Here's the furniture that my mom bought us! We got it at Baby's R Us and we love it! Now all we need is a baby....lol! (You'll have to click on the photos to see the whole image)

31 weeks!

Well on Monday, I will be! I figure he will be here in 8 weeks - no later. WOW that's getting close, isn't it?

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks:

I was 28 weeks here
And almost 29 weeks here

More pictures to come after tomorrow!


The pain I've been having is gone - well for the last few days anyway. I know that he's just changed positions a little and I'm sure that he'll put his big head back into my pelvis and I won't be able to walk again haha! I'm getting really tired again, and the Braxton Hicks are coming more often, starting to hurt, and lasting a long time. Nothing consistent, so nothing to worry about - but my body is definitely getting ready.

I laugh, because it seems the baby is just like his father - always prepared ahead of time, for anything! Head engaged in pelvis: check. Braxton Hicks to make sure delivery goes well and mom's uterus can squeeze me out: check. Kicking mom every day, all day, so that she knows how active I am: check.

More to come in another post!

New Pics

Well, I'll be 27 weeks on Monday! Sorry for the long wait on the update but things have been hectic. Landon was gone for a month, the kids were out of school and a lot has been going on.

My belly grows by the week it seems, and I already feel like he's out of room in there. He kicks anything that gets set on my belly - he likes his personal space I guess..lol.

Half down, half to go!!!!

Well, I'm 21 weeks today and doing pretty well. The morning sickness - well, all day sickness - is almost completely gone and I'm so happy! I feel generally good, just some minor aches and things like that. Normal pregnancy stuff, so it's alright!

The baby is moving SO much lately and it's great! Landon got to feel him kick a couple weeks ago, so that was exciting. I was watching my belly jump today, as he kicked me, so he's getting pretty strong in there!

Here's a couple ultrasound photos, and I'll update with a new belly pic soon!

Love this 3D one. ^

Aaaand still a boy! :)

New Belly Pics!

It's been a while since I posted a belly growth picture, so I figured it was a good time. Lots of growth in the past week and my belly is getting really hard. I think I'm carrying low so far - we'll see how it progresses in the next few weeks.

Here's today, 17 weeks 1 day!

Um, WOW!!

Well, 17 weeks already - where is the time going? It's time for another belly picture, as it's been a while! I'll get that done today sometime and update the blog again!

The morning sickness is still with me, but not as often. Now, I'm just feeling all of the aches and stretching. The baby moves all the time, and I swear he's doing some acrobatics in there! It's not the "flutters" that everyone says they get - and that I got with the first two - it's ROLLING and pressure and I always ask him, "Holy crap what ARE you doing in there?" We'll see what he's like when he starts running out of room! Ha!

I've gained only 4 pounds so far, so I'm doing great!
