99 bottles...or days to go!

I am 26 weeks and have broken the 100 day mark. I can't believe how fast everything has gone. I just hope it continues, but I know I am looking at the hardest and most uncomfortable part coming up.

Here is a picture Nick took last night...26 weeks and growing hourly. Last dr. apppointment the heart rate was 136, lowest it has been, but still normal.

I can tell you baby has been punching and kicking up a storm. Sometimes it startles me how hard it kicks, jabs, jumps or whatever it is doing in there.

We bought paint for the nursery - green! We have to be gender neutral. We'll accent with pink or blue later. I have sold several items in my nesting phase on Craigs List so we actually have room to bring this baby home.

We are heading for our annual trip around the midwest next week for Christmas. First stop is Cedar Rapids and then to God's country - Wisconsin. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Merry Christmas to you all from the Varcoes. We are so blessed to have our families close to us this year in our exciting adventure. Thank you also for all the cards this year, we'll be sending out a birth annoucement so consider this your holiday card:)

Love,

Amy, Nick and Baby V
