40 weeks in pictures...

Last time you heard from me was August of 2010 - I was 8 weeks pregnant and getting ready to take a 60 mile stroll around Chicagoland.  Let me start around that time!
July 8, 2010 - We're pregnant! (little May was just a poppy seed sized twinkle in my eye, er.... belly)








12 Weeks








15 Weeks









Around 15 weeks Lynnette and I shipped off to Turks and Caicos (in the middle of the atlantic ocean... SO. Beautiful.) for Ken and Nicole Viggiano's wedding (formerly Nicole Baksha).  It was an amazing week in the most beautiful place I had ever seen!
















When we got home from Turks and Caicos I found out that my dear sweet Nana (and May's namesake - Florence) had passed away earlier that day. She lived a beautiful and full life and is hanging with Jesus now but we still miss her so much!













18 Weeks









20 Weeks











22 Weeks











27 Weeks










at 30 weeks we shipped off to Colorado for Shaunes and Brian's wedding! The Haapala's were joined in holy matrimony on New Years Eve in a castle in Colorado Springs - it was so romantic!














Around 31 weeks I had the blessing of gathering together with a bunch of my pregnant friends (believe it or not, this was not all of them!) -- Here we are with the babies still tucked neatly inside our bellies standing in order of due date - Heather is first, I am last (even though I'm almost the biggest!)








32 Weeks











At 35 weeks my very amazing friends threw me a totally awesome 80's themed baby shower! It was so so fun!
Caitlin was due one month after me! :-)
















36 Weeks








41 Weeks - prepare to pity me... just a few days before little May finally decided to join us on the outside! :-)

  1. Wow that little girl took up a lot of room! What's really amazing is how much you showed at 3 months.
