Aaden Robert Szymanowicz

John and I have another nephew!!! We love being Aunt Kristy & Uncle John!
Sweet little Aaden came into the world on August 25th. I can't believe he's 3 days old already! John and I were blessed with the opportunity to meet him just 6 hours after his birth..

Pretty sure my belly dropped

Supposedly this happens 2-4 weeks before delivery. Not sure exactly when it happened but I have definitely been feeling different over the past week. My guess is she WILL be on time - despite what my mother says! ;-)


















And this is the actual picture, taken today.. I just think it's a great picture of me and John.

33 weeks

I had an appointment yesterday and everything is looking great. I'm measuring at 33.5 weeks which is exactly where I am in the pregnancy. The doctor said based on all my appointments so far, my baby will not be 'excessively large' and should be able to be delivered with no problem. I'm hoping for a healthy but easy-to-be-delivered 7 pounder haha...



I can tell Baby Girl is getting bigger and stronger based on her movements. No more cute little kicks, just lots of rolling around and the occasional big JAB. I can put my hand on my belly and feel her head, or butt, or elbow.. whatever it is that's pushing my insides out! One day I will make a video of the movements so you can see crazy alien baby for yourself. :-) She also kicks me up high in the ribs and sometimes I can feel her foot and try to push it back down haha..



We had the hospital tour today and it was very informative. The rooms are really nice and I'm sure I will be comfortable there. I love their general policies (although I'm sad my nephews won't be allowed into the room to visit). I will go into detail a little more as it gets closer to the due date and let you know visiting hours, our preferences ('our' = me and John), etc.



A few days ago I decided it was time for a new belly shot.. here's the proof that Baby Girl is certainly getting bigger! (Please excuse the lack of makeup). I will do more belly pics over the next 7-ish weeks as she is growing at a very rapid pace now! (According to my baby books, she is about 4 1/2 pounds by now!)
