30 Weeks!

Hello! Michael and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Only 10 weeks (or less) until Princess Nora’s big arrival!!! We had an appointment with the doctor yesterday and everything went very well. Her heartbeat sounded good and she measured right where she should be. We are both ready to meet her!

Michael and I are really looking forward to our trip down to warm FL! We have been counting down for a while now :) We are flying down late on March 27th and do not fly back until April 5th! We are both ready for a vacation and we’re pretty sure George is ready to see his grandparents and meet his new playmate, Wilson. I will try my best to get some pictures of the two of them playing together! We look forward to seeing a lot of you in FL!!!

That’s really all for now! Our next appointment is on April 7th. We will continue to keep you updated along the way!

Here are a few pictures of the hospital where Nora will be born!

3rd Trimester!

Hello! I am so sorry it has taken me soooo long to update you all! Michael and I have made it to the third trimester. It won’t be long now! We had our last monthly check up with the doctor on Wednesday. Everything went well and the heartbeat sounded great! We will have appointments every two weeks until our last month when they become weekly. Our next appointment is on March 16th.

Michael and I are starting to get very excited! It really freaks us out to look at the calendar :) The baby has been moving around like crazy and Michael has been able to feel it too. George was also able to feel her move a few times. I will have to try to get a video of this. He was curled up next to me and she started moving. George didn’t know what was going on! He starting growling at my stomach and tapping it to try and see what was happening. It was very entertaining!

We would also like to let all of you know that we have decided on a name for the little princess!!! Her name will be Nora Juliette Brugal…or as my daddy likes to call her, Princess Nora Juliette Brugal :) Both names didn’t come from any place in particular. We both loved Nora from the beginning, but went back and forth on the middle name for a while. We wanted to do an opera character, but Michael wouldn’t let me name her Nora Tosca or Nora Rosina. We decided on Juliette because that is one of our favorite operas and it doesn’t sound weird :) We hope you all like it!!!

In other news, I got a new brother this past week! His name is Wilson and he weighs 3 pounds. I’m pretty sure that he and George will have a blast when we are home in a few weeks!!

We will continue to keep you all updated as we get closer and closer!!! Check out our pictures from Montreal at http://www.brugalfamily.shutterfly.com/!
