my mini me...
We went in for another 3D-4D ultrasound this week. Our last sneek peek of Taylor before her arrival!
This 'lil baby looks like her mommy! She undoubtedly has my nose! haha...She also has a head full of hair and an ADORABLE smile. You can't see it so much here but during the 4-D video she kept cracking a smile. What could she be smiling about in there!? I'm thinking she was happy about the chocolate I ate right before our session...yum!

Our Babymoon!
yes, we went on a babymoon...
Wikipedia defines a babymoon as a vacation taken by a couple that is expecting a baby in order to allow the couple to enjoy a final trip together before the many sleepless nights that usually accompany a newborn baby. Babymoons usually take place at a resort that offers appropriate services like prenatal massage.
We went on our babymoon last weekend and stayed in Canada to see Niagara Falls. The timing was perfect because I'm only a few weeks away from my third trimester AND me and Jason's one year anniversary is next week! We had a very romantic getaway... however, I was extremely uncomfortable on the plane...didn't know what to do with this basketball attached to me! We also walked a whole lot which aggravated my pelvis! haha...other than that, the Niagara Falls was beautiful! I had seen it when I was a child but don't remember too much. It was gorgeous and I enjoyed every minute of it with Daddy to be. It was definitely a great way for us to spend one last vacation together before the little one.
Favorite vacation memory..prancing around the indoor pool with my two piece! I was ALL baby but Jason loved my belly showing for all the world to see! haha
I swear, I have the best view! Won't be able to see my feet for much longer!
O dear...
Us on a boat tour, The Maid of the Mist, taking us to the foot of Niagara Falls. The ponchos didn't help much..we were soaked!

Me at the Butterfly Conservatory. Don't think you can see them in this picture but there were thousands of butterflies fluttering everywhere around us! It was amazing!

my baby bump-kin
We have chosen a name! Actually, I've had this name in mind for a good while now!
When I got pregnant I knew I wanted a tomboy name for a baby girl. How cute is that! I had googled a bunch of tomboy names and these have been on my list long before we knew the gender:
Bailey, Jordyn, Taylor, Cameron, Peyton, Tyler, Danni, Jayden, Joey
After many suggestions, opinions & votes from family and friends, I narrowed down my list and the winner is...TAYLOR! Taylor was a big hit and I couldn't be happier because I am so in love with the name. And ever since I saw her sweet face (3D pics) and have been feeling her movements, nothing suits her more than Taylor to me! It was meant to be!

Easy with the paparazzi!
haha...I think this baby has had ENOUGH of the cameras/ultrasounds for one month! I think my uterus could use a break as well. LOL! We're going to need a photo album for all the pictures we're accumulating.
We had our 'real' ultrasound this past Tuesday. Baby Girl is progressing beautifully! She was measured and everything looks great. We got some really cute profile shots. Take a look!

"Was that the boneless chicken wings or the baby kicking?"
Thats what he said...Jason's response to feeling the baby move for the first time! haha
Last night while Jason (half asleep) and I were watching Dancing with the Stars, Baby was kicking hard enough to feel it on the outside! I made Jason wake up and Baby girl performed for Daddy! aww, I know he's been waiting to feel her for a while! He promptly smiled and went back to sleep. LOL
and btw, I'm very disappointed with Kim Kardashian's performance last night. You've got to have WAY more rhythm to keep up with a Sir Mix-A-Lot number!

Isn't it pretty?
Check out our nursery furniture! I've done tons of research on cribs and made sure that what I chose met safety requirements and is JPMA certified. Its brand name is Cocoon and I just think it is gorgeous! We purchased the whole set about a month ago and are slowly getting in all the pieces. I love the solid dark wood. Everything is incredibly sturdy. Besides safety, I wanted pieces that had lots of storage and that could grow with my baby. The crib is convertible so as she grows she'll be able to use it as a toddler and queen size bed. Gosh I sound like a commercial! But seriously, I think I want it for me.
Oh, and check out the decor/colors. I AM IN LOVE with the sage/mint green. It looks so good with chocolate. This room is my inspiration for the nursery. It's green and brown baby!

ITS A GIRL!!!
FINALLY! We found out what I had known all along! ITS A GIRL!
Jason and I couldn't wait another second, so we came in for a 3-D ultrasound on Saturday morning. The technician was immediately able to see the baby's goods...Baby wasn't flipping, tossing or turning this time! This time she had no choice but to cooperate...because this little baby was sleeping! She let us see 3 distinct white lines, definitely her girl parts!
It was so incredible to see her in 3D. She was sleeping with her hands in her face. The technician kept poking at my belly, trying to get her to put her hands down for her close up. Poor baby! She was obviously getting grumpy and irritated from all the poking around! She was trying to get her beauty sleep!
In any case, we were able to get several shots of her...most of them with her hands in front of her face...but still amazing to look at. oh, and look at her nuzzling against me! My sweet baby.

o dear...
Another photoshop creation courtesy of my coworker, Brandon. Oh that Brandon, I can't ever keep up with his shenanigans. And can I say SCAREY! Really though, if this is what the baby is going to look like, then God help us!

Show me the GOODS!
For weeks, okay maybe since I conceived, I have been dying to know the sex of my baby! We had come in for our routine prenatal appointment last week, hoping to schedule an ultrasound ASAP! We couldn't get on the schedule until 3 weeks out! Wraa!
SoOoO, luckily for us, Jason and I have a friend who is an ultrasound technician. She was more than willing to take us in during her lunch break yesterday! Of course in exchange for some pancit and lumpia! haha.
After being in the hot seat with jelly all over my belly for more than an hour, we left there with the baby's gender still unanswered! wraa!!!!! The baby was too fidgety and active. We couldn't get a good view between the legs. This baby was tossing, turning, doing flips..sticking its head between its legs! (The baby got a clear view, but we didn't!) At one time, it even peed for us on screen! LOL (must get that from Jason)
So, the bad news is that the baby wouldn't cooperate. But the good news is that Baby looks healthy! The last time we had an ultrasound it just looked like a jelly bean. This time, everything was so pronounced! We saw the spine, cerebrum, bladder, stomach, heart chamber, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, its cute little toes and fingers...and of course we stared at its butt crack for almost 45 minutes trying to distinguish what it was!
The sweetest part is that it has already picked up Jason's traits and features! If you look at the picture of the baby's feet, they are undeniably Jason's. My second toe is longer than my big toe..but the baby's second toe is shorter. haha. ALSO, my favorite part is that in one of the pictures, the baby is clasping its hands together. JASON DOES THIS ALL THE TIME!!! haha, he watches T.V. with his hands nicely clasped and sleeps in the prayer position! How freakin ADORABLE is that!
I do have my own guess to what the baby is...A GIRL! I know what we saw was a blur but for a minute there, the baby's parts were looking like a hamburger to me! (You know, hamburger for a girl and turtle for a boy!) And the night before, tell me why I had a dream that I was singing to my baby girl?
I guess we'll have to see in a few weeks! Stay tuned! In the mean time, enjoy these pics below.

It doesn't show it here but the baby was sucking its thumb prior to the still shot.
The baby must have been wondering what all the fuss was about..because it kept turning its head and looking directly at the transducer!
If you look very closely, you can see the baby has its thumb and pointer finger open...I think it was calling us LOSERS while we were looking for its goods!
Look at those toes! Baby has Jason's feet!
Picture of the baby clasping its hands...Just like Daddy!
