A significant day

I graduated from Brigham Young University!

It's so much fun to have almost my entire family in town! We wish they lived closer so they could always visit!

April 20th also signifies the beginning of my third trimester! Can you believe it's gone by so fast? Three more months and I will be holding a little baby boy in my arms (hopefully...please do not be overdue, baby. Please!)

Brinley

Come Friday, I will officially be a college graduate; diploma in hand.
It is one of the weirdest feelings.
Almost all of my family is coming out to Provo to see us (Me, Nicole, and Jamie!) walk across the stage. We are so excited to see them all, it feels like it's been forever; we're especially excited to see my nephews and new niece!

Meet Brinley Alicia Koontz.

Isn't she adorable? We all think so.

Week 26

This week, little baby is the size of an english hothouse cucumber.

"The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an english hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days."

This morning, I woke up and felt a hard bump in my belly. I'm guessing it was a knee or elbow! For some reason, that, just then, made it even more real to me, even though I've been feeling him roll around and swim inside of me for weeks.

Baby Anderson?

Perhaps he will look something like this???
