a + B = husband and wife!!!

We did it! We had the greatest, most amazing day yesterday (the whole weekend was great!), and are so happy we were able to share it with most of our closest friends and family. We really missed the few that were not able to make it (Nanny Dobrowner!!!), but don't worry, you'll get LOTS of fun pictures. This is just a small preview of the pictures from our special day (a snapshot that my cousin took during our mini photo session with our wonderful photographer, Randie.) We didn't want the day to end, and tried our hardest to make it last—we didn't even get to our hotel room until around 2 AM, and spent some quality time today with the fam for a late breakfast at Farmer's Market. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as Brian and I did.... xoxoxo!!!

Belly in Santa Barbara

Here I am (21wks 3d) in our hotel room in Santa Barbara for my mini-bachelorette weekend with a couple of my amazing bffs. Its a growin!!

Drama Bean

This is one of my favorite pics from the 4D ultrasound I had at 19 weeks. Bean looks very dramatic, doncha think?

22 weeks today: Eyelashes and Eyebrows

I received my Pregnancy Weekly email today and learned that our baby weighs about 15 ounces, measures just under 11 inches head to heel, and is growing eyelashes and eyebrows. Little taste buds are forming on his or her tongue, and if our baby is a boy, his testes begin descending from his abdomen. If Bean is a girl, her uterus and ovaries are already formed, as well as all the eggs she will ever produce. WIERD! (And SO cool.)

Hey! I felt that, (finally!)

I have been a little antsy about feeling the baby move, and just when I started to get worried that I hadn't, bubble-pop-tickle there it is! Brian and I both woke up at about 3:00 AM early Thursday morning (1/17) for no reason at all and then I felt Bean go "pop pop wiggle". It was so cool, I had to giggle and tell daddy B. Since then, the little baby hasn't stopped. I can feel it mostly at night when I'm chillaxin and early in the morning. Ok, pics of the ultrasounds to come today! xoxo

Preggos are just crazy

This is a very hyper pregnant woman (me) captured by my most favorite Hayley. (20 weeks preggs here)

Preggo Week 21 — Catch Up!

Brian and I are so excited to share all about the adventures of our new little bean Forbes. We knew we wanted to have a blog when the bean arrived, but decided that we should start now, especially since the big arrival is only about 4 1/2 months away. So far, everything about the bean looks healthy, and the specialist that did our 4-D ultrasound went all the way as to say that it looked like we had a "beautiful and healthy baby". Big sister Hayley and big bro Tanner were able to be there with me for that ultrasound and it was like a fun little movie. I giggled through most of it, especially when the bean smiled right at us! We definitely have a little heart-breaker in the making :)

As many of you know, we decided to keep the sex of the bean a surprise until the big birthday, and I think it's one of the hardest things I've ever done, but daddy B and I know it will be well worth the surprise.

I will make sure to upload some of the 20 week 4-D ultrasound video and some silly pictures of my ever-growing belly.

Brian and I (and especially my mom) are working very hard to make sure everything is set for our wedding next Saturday (YAY!) and are extremely excited to share our special day with many of you, but wish all of you could be there. We'll make sure to post lots of pretty pictures and fill you in on all of the fun details.

xoxo
