Happy Fall!

It is cold, rainy, and gray outside! The leaves have started to drop and the daylight fades around 6:45 now. It's officially fall! Where has time gone?

We had another prenatal check up today and everything is going great! They emailed me the ultrasound photos from our visit, so you get a bonus picture today! Little girl Schnable is looking very healthy, everything is where it should be, and she's weighing around 1lb 2oz! She is kicking up a storm inside of me, and Ben and I actually saw my stomach moving as she punched me this past weekend. I have to keep moving around in order for her to stop the madness inside of me :)

Here's a glimpse of her cute profile!

Babypalooza!

This week is the Lollipop Shop in Charlottesville, a consignment sale held twice a year in an empty store. Christy, who runs the sale, is one of my instructors at ACAC, so she kindly invited me to her special preview night....and it was amazing! My mother and mother-in-law joined me at what I like to refer to as babypalooza! I've never seen so much children's stuff packed into a store! We made out with some great deals and had a wonderful evening of shopping...Thank you Christy!
I've begun to start to register for items, but thanks to my awesome coworkers, I'm finding that I have actually acquired a lot of the big stuff! Check out one of the rooms in our house that has become baby mania...
Thank you to everyone who has given me lists of essentials, advice, and more! I'm slowly learning what babies need!

Now that I'm 22 weeks, it feels like time is going to fly by, she will be here before we know it! She's been kicking and punching a lot more lately, and last night Ben felt her kicks for the first time, such an amazing moment :)
Here's the bump at 22 weeks, while apple picking at Carter's Mountain!

It's a GIRL!


It's official!
We found out the sex yesterday, and Little Baby Schnable is officially a little lady!
The ultrasound was amazing as usual, I think I sometimes forget that it's an actual human growing inside of me, we saw fingers, her mouth opening and closing, she even did a complete 180 and flipped around during the process! So cool. I can't wait to meet her and spoil her :)
Unfortunately, my scanner is down, so here are a few pictures of pictures that I took with my phone.
Here she is flexing her bicep! 

Little baby feet!


Next, coming up with a name! Any suggestions?

Fall is moving in...

I can't believe how fast summer has flown by....it feels like only yesterday was the start of June. I also can't believe that I am halfway through my pregnancy, eek! Probably should start getting ready!
These past two weeks have been busy busy, weddings, races, hiking, and most importantly, a Lady GaGa concert!
I had a doctor's appointment this past week, short and sweet, but this time I recorded the little Schnable's heartbeat...at this point it's right around 140bpm. Make sure you stay tuned, we find out the sex (hopefully) next tuesday!  The countdown begins :)
Here is my life in pictures these past few weeks....
Charlottesville Women's 4 Miler...beat my time from last year!
