29 weeks and Merry Christmas

Here is a quick belly picture update at 29 weeks! I can't believe I am almost to the 3/4 mark. It is feeling more and more real by the day as Pat and I talk about life with our daughter and how much fun it will be to watch her move around in the world. Her room is starting to fill up and we can imagine a little baby girl in the crib now. We know life will change dramatically soon and are looking forward to the many blessings that the Lord will bring into our life through our little girl.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

29 weeks and Christmas time

It is snowing like crazy in Seattle and the Summerill family is up for Christmas! We are having a great time and trying to maneuver about in the snow. As you can see, our back yard got quite the pile of snow last night and it is still snowing now. The last picture is of myself, Kaitlyn, and the crib bedding that my mom made and brought up from Miami. It is now in the nursery and waiting for little baby Murphy to arrive! Only 11 weeks to go. I am thinking that the next two weeks will fly by with my family in town and time away from work. I hope to slide into January without too much trouble and then it will be 2 months. Hum...I am already playing number games in my head. :)

Third Trimester

I have finally hit the third trimester and can't believe that we are 12 weeks away from meeting our little daughter. Sometimes that seems like a lifetime away and other times it feels like it is coming quickly. According to babycenter, our baby is now 2.25 pounds and 14.8 inches long. I still love feeling her moving around and can often tell where her head and feet are.

Pat also finished the nursery painting this weekend after many long hours of carefully laboring. It looks awesome. I am so thankful that I didn't have to do the work. As you can see from the pictures, three walls are a kind of neutral tan and the fourth is a bright teal, which will match the bed skirt perfectly. My mom is bringing the bedding this week and then I will just have the lighting, curtains, and wall decor to add. It is really fun to watch it come together. More and more I can picture a little baby in there.
