Goodbye Columbia...

This has been a very exciting week for us. As of this past Friday Derek has accepted a job back with the Charlotte YMCA's. This opportunity came about a couple weeks ago and Derek and I have been anxiously waiting and hoping this great oppotunity would work out. It is not only an awesome career opportunity for Derek but as you can imagine the 3 hours of communting a day was about to kill Derek. He really was struggling with all the time he would miss with the baby due to having to drive come this summer. It truly couldn't have worked out any better and are beyond excited to have him back it Charlotte. Not to mention the raise we are about to get just in gas money, haha! I am so proud of him!!!!


As of today I am 27 weeks pregnant. We have had a few changes the past week. Though I have felt Baby W move for awhile now, she now is kicking much harder. To the point some times she startles me. Derek can also now feel her when she is moving which he LOVES!!! He now talks, reads and even plays her music all the time, ha!! At times when she is really moving you can even see my whole belly shaking, which still always amazes me.
I have also started having the awful heartburn that I always read you get during pregnancy. Of course the old wives take says the more heartburn means the more hair the baby will have. Wouldn't be surprised being how thick of hair both Derek and I both have. Of course this always brings up the discussion of what color hair do we think she will have. Since Derek has such dark hair and I have red, I think it is one of the things we are most excited to see on her!


Today we are going on our hospital tour at Presbyterian Hosptial Huntersville. We also are all signed up for our birthing classes starting in April. Hard to believe 3 months from today is Baby W's due date:)


We have our 3D ultra sound again this Friday. I can't wait to see how she has changed. We will make sure to post the pictures from the ultrasound next weekend. For now here is a picture we took yesterday so show me at 26 weeks and a picture of the hosptital we will deliver at :)
