28 Weeks

On Friday Mommy fell on her side, so the doctors did an ultrasound to make sure that Grace was ok. She looked perfect! She is now 2.4 lbs which is in the 49% of babies at the same stage in pregnancy, which is great. Her heart was beating at 153bpm and sounded strong. It was nice to be able to see how big and healthy she is. Although, it makes the pictures they give us even harder to really see because she is so tightly curled up in a ball. The top and bottom pictures are her face, we were able to see it more clearly at the doctor's office. The middle picture is her foot. Grace has got her foot wrapped so close up by her head that daddy asked "Wow that does not look comfortable" The ultrasound tech said, "It must be for her or she would move it" hehe - we love you Grace, even if you turn out a little strange like your parents! =)




Your Great-Grandmommy Knapp (J-Pa's Mom) went shopping and got you some great clothes, shoes, and toys! We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family surrounding us during this time. And of course, the Gator shoes are awesome! Grace will be a little Gator whether she likes it or not! =) Can't wait for Great-Grandmommy to meet you when she comes up for Thanksgiving!



We are still seeing your name everywhere, and each time we do we are reminded what a beautiful name it is. We love you Grace!

27 weeks - Third Trimester!

Mommy with Grace at 27 weeks! I can't believe Grace is already over 14 inches long and over 2 lbs in weight! She is getting to be such a big girl! She is kicking quite a bit and especially before meals. I dont think she likes when my tummy grumbles!


G is for GRACE! We thought you might like to see some pictures of the other side of Grace's room. We always show the pictures with the crib and changing table - so here is what the rest looks like! We still need to figure out how we are going to put up the cute white shelves we have on the wall - but you can start to see the room coming together! We are so excited!



This week we got to go to a dance performance at DPAC with Uncle Taylor! We even got to sit in the box seats. It was very fancy! We had a great time.

We love you Grace! Happy 3rd Trimester!

26 weeks!

We spent week 26 in Atlanta for another week with Mimi and J-pa! Mommy and Daddy did spend a night alone in downtown Atlanta on a "4 year anniversary" trip. We had a great time! We got to stay in a hotel inside the CNN building! It was also right across from Centennial Olympic Park, where the Olympics were in 1996. It was beautiful!



We got to see the Atlanta Aquarium and The World of Coca-Cola. We had a great time at both! We really enjoyed the Coke commercials from around the world and seeing the Dolphin Show at the Aquarium!


Yup, that's Daddy in with all the penguins!


Back in Buford we went to an awesome half million dollar dog park! Athens and Bean had a great time in the water fountains and running on the turf.

Thanks Mimi and J-pa for a great, relaxing vacation! We love you! (and Grace too!)

25 weeks!

Daddy and Mommy spent week 25 at Mimi and J-Pa Knapp's house in Atlanta GA! We have had such a fun time swimming in the pool, lounging in the lake, and relaxing! Daddy has decided that he really loves watching Rugby, so we made a special stop and got to watch a live 7 on 7 Rugby match! It was intense!




Mommy at 25 weeks! Grace is kicking so hard that you can literally see it by just watching my stomach.



Thank goodness Bean is only 10 lbs. The max weight to be carried during pregnancy is 25 lbs so we are good! I can't imagine how little Bean would handle it if she couldn't be carried for 9 months!




Daddy and Athens! I think Daddy will be just fine carrying around a newborn!

24 weeks and the 4th of July

We spent the 4th of July at Koka Booth. Daddy played his last official concert in the Cary Town Band and we waiting in the 95+ degree weather for the fireworks... unfortunately it down poured about an hour before the fireworks were supposed to start so instead we ran through the rain and got home early, dripping wet! It was still a great memory and it was GREAT to see Daddy play up on the big stage. Here is a picture of what were were hoping to see! Remember - the rain is what we actually saw. We love you Grace! Happy 24 weeks!


Mommy, Mimi, and Grace at 24 weeks!
