Chelli's Belly at 26 weeks

So I have been a slacker and havent posted my belly pics ever on my post and only once on my myspace (that was at 16 weeks) So I decided I would show the world my belly. Here is Me, baby, and belly at 26 weeks!! P.S. I know my shirt is ripped. And no it is not ripped because I am huge!!

Something Bad...

No Worries everyone! Everything is alright!! Between my family and Erik's family we are going to be teaching a bad habit to my baby!! DUN DUN DUN.... A SHOE FETISH! She will come into this world being addicted to shoes!!! My sister Tryna has bought 3 different pairs, while my mom has given me some booties (but has 2 pairs of shoes that she is going to give me for my shower) my mother in law gave me a pair of shoes and booties I think. My aunt has given me some really cute socks for her (plus shirts and onsies) She still has three more months in the womb and she already has more shoes than I do!! (maybe not, but it sure does seem like it.) She is going to be one spoiled chicka! I love to shop for her too!! I will need to take some pics of the clothes that people or I have gotten her. Thanks to everyone that has given me things for little Niquie, she has so many people to meet and love!! She is kicking me at the moment which means that she loves you all already! enjoy the pics!!

99 Days...

Well less than 100 days to go til little Denique gets here!! It seems like a long ways away a little over three months but when I think less than a hundred days it makes me feel like I need to kick it in high gear!! I dont even have her crib yet!! No worries though, I think maybe tomorrow Erik and I will head over to Burlington Coat Factory or Babies-r-Us and try to figure out which crib we want for Little Deni. Also I need to get started on decorating her room. I am hand making alot of them and should probably get started on doing it because I am such a slacker!!! I will take some pictures and you guys can give me advice or cute ideas!! We have decided not to paint her room (I know we are horrible parents but she wont know that her room isnt painted until she is older and then when she says something then we will paint it!) Anyways I cant believe how fast time has gone!! I cant believe I will see my little princess in 3 months!!

Nothing New

Hey Everyone! Well nothing really new going on at the Brown Household. We celebrated our 2nd anniversary on the August 4th! I cant believe two years have already gone by so quickly!! Our anniversary fell on a Monday so we actually went out on Sat. August 2nd. Well the night of the first the fourth book of the twilight series came out. I am not really that obsessed with the book but you do get hooked. Erik was nice enough to go to walmart with me and wait in line at midnight when it was released!! (I know he is the best!) We got the books and then for part of my anniversary gift he let me spend 120 dollars on baby stuff!! I got the bedding I wanted plus a really cute blanket and the changing table pad!! I was excited to get more stuff to start her room. I will take pictures of what we have so far and post them but probably not for a while. We finally got home around 1:30 a.m. so we went to bed then on Saturday Erik went with my Brother (and brother in laws) and my dad to the nascar event or something at the Miller Motorsports track. he didnt get back til like 5. I sat home and relaxed read some of my new book and tried to clean my house a little bit. Then we went to the roof for dinner. It was awesome! I have been there with Erik before but it seems like everytime I go the food gets better and better! We enjoyed spending the time together!
On August 4th I started another part time job just for fun and cause i love it. I am the new Riverton High School Sophmore Cheerleading Coach!! It has been exhausting only because of the early morning practices. But I love it. The girls I teach are awesome! they dont give me attitude or anything. The other coaches are awesome. We laugh and giggle at ourselves all day long.
Also cheer season has started at Illuzion dance and cheer. So I have been busy they last few weeks with new squads and girls. It will slow down when school starts for the High School because practice wont be everyday but then i will have football games and the competition squad to work with as well. But I am very excited.

In other news on Sunday the 17th Erik and I have been asked to speak in Sacrament!!! I am so nervous! The last time I spoke in church was when my brother left on his mission! TEN YEARS AGO!!! I am supposed to introduce our family and then speak on "coming to know for ourselves" pretty much about finding our own testimonies and the conversion of ourselves in the church!!
I should be writing my talk right now but again i am slacking.

I have my next doctors appt. On tuesday!! She has been moving so much lately! I love it. Even though sometimes it can be uncomfortable I would rather feel her move then not!! I will let you know what the Doctor says after tuesday! Only 14 more weeks to go!!!

Update...

Well not much going on but I thought I would update everyone on Erik and I's life. We went to Lake Powell last week. I love Lake Powell it is my favorite Vacation spot. Unfortunately when your pregnant there isn't much to do. Thank goodness we are on a houseboat so I could chill inside on the really hot days. Since I have been pregnant I am even more deathly afraid of spiders, and in the slips at Lake Powell are probably the BIGGEST SPIDERS ever!! There were a few sleepness nights where I thought spiders were climbing all over me!! On a better note, my little girl kicked me alot down there. Maybe it was the heat I am not sure. Also Erik felt her move for the first time. It was so cool. She is getting so strong and its the coolest thing ever. If I dont feel her move I get freaked out that something might be wrong. I am a nut case!! But then she will kick me almost like she is teasing me. She lets me get to the point where I am like she hasnt moved in a long time and I am freaking out then all of a sudden she will let me know that she is there. Hopefully its not a sign that she is going to push to my limits on everything! It could end up to be a long 18 years. Just Joking I am excited to experience all the good and bad with her. Anyways... We got back on Sunday and on Monday our changing table came!! Erik and i put it together and it is making me even more excited and makes it more real that I only have four more months til she is here!! I need to pick out her crib now!! Well I will keep everyone posted if anything new comes along.

It's a girl!!!

On Tuesday June 24, Erik and I found out that we have a healthy baby GIRL on the way!! We are so excited. I had already bought some girl clothes so I was hoping it was a girl. My mom was so excited she cried. She was waiting for another little granddaughter and she got one. Her are her ultrasound pictures. She is sucking her thumb in one of the pictures. That is my favorite one along with her profile. The other ones are of her leg and foot. One where she is getting ready to suck her thumb and one that has an arm leg and part of her head in it. Hope you enjoy!!

Almost Ready to Change Diapers

I found this changing table online at Babies-R-Us. It was on sale and Erik said that I could get it. (Since we are trying to get the baby's room together, I know its early but we want a jump start on things cause we are slackers!!) I am so excited about the changing table that I had to post it. It is the first piece of furniture we have bought for the baby so I am really excited. I have more post to come so keep checking back!!
