My beautiful wife at 25 weeks

Pregnancy Early April 2012

Easter with Taylor Family 2012
Week 25 Ultrasound at the Perinatal Center 
St. Anthony's Hospital

Week 26- April 11th, 2012


At week 26, our wee one is approximately 10 inches long from head to rump (the size of one liter of soda) and weighs about 2 lbs. It is amazing how everything forms and develops week by week and we continue to be astonished by the progress!

Mommy and daddy started the baby registry last week and felt like some of the items got the best of us! Boy things have changed since most of mommy's friends were shopping and using baby items.  One of the strollers had our heads spinning... WOW! This little person requires a lot stuff and we are just getting started.

Some wonderful and revitalizing news came our way last Thursday when we heard another couple from church gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy. Mommy and Daddy went to the hospital to visit Mike, Sara, and baby Nolan and got to hold and stare at this perfect little man God created.  Mommy felt overwhelmed with relief to see a healthy baby born in an uneventful and successful delivery.

Over the Easter holiday weekend, daddy made more progress on emptying the nursery to get ready for painting and furniture for baby. The overall idea of the nursery has not been determined yet, but the process has started. Mommy has her ideas and daddy has his.  It will be fun to see how it all unfolds.  Mommy will be out of town next week so daddy wants to get the painting started and the fumes out by 
the time mommy returns.

The process of selecting a name continues. Mommy and Daddy decided to pick 2 names for each gender and decide on the final name when we meet our baby. There's a running list that will float around for a while until we can widdle it down to 2 solid names. Hmm... What will it be?

Daddy got to feel a good kick last night but still questioned if it was mommy breathing or the swat of our little person.  With the increased strength, movement and growth of baby Stone mommy has jumped a few times from the pressure.  We're having fun with this...maybe until baby gets lodged in something uncomfortable.

Daddy is still in pursuit of a new job that will be more family friendly.  He had in interview on Monday and was quite excited about the prospect! We are praying that God will provide him with a job that allows him to put his passions to use and allow for our family to be financially stable at the same time. 

Thank you to all of our family and friends for support, love, and excitement!


Love,


Erin & Justin
