100 days till JNC!

100 days left until the baby comes (give or take a few)! I haven't blogged in a while because I just haven't had a lot to say. Things are progressing really well though. The belly and baby are growing like a weed, and I can feel her moving all day long. Eric can also feel her now too:) which is really awesome. We are slowly but surely coming into the reality that we will be parents of a baby soon, one that lives outside of my womb! Crazy! Once I am done with school (June 11th) we will start really getting to work on the nursery. I will post pictures when that happens. June 12th my family and I are taking a family vacation to CO, which would be great if I could actually do any of the activities! I can't white water raft, hike tall mountains, ride horses, ride in hot air balloons, or sit in steamy hot springs, so I guess I will be taking a lot of leisurely walks and reading lots of books, which honestly will be just as great in the end I'm sure:) Any suggestions for a good read would be greatly appreciated. Preferably fiction!

On a side note, I am watching the LOST finale tonight. It is such a wonderful show and I am really going to miss it:( I look forward to showing it to our little girl someday, when she's old enough of course:) It is fun to think of how I will make her watch all my favorite movies, and she will think I am a big dork! But ultimately it will be so amazing to watch her see and experience everything in life for the first time, not just great movies and shows and books, but everything else!

If you are wondering what JNC stands for, well, I will tell you. We have decided to name our sweet angel Joley Noelle Curtis! Hope you like it! If not, you'll get used to it:) Joley is pronounced like any other name with a "Y" sound on the end, like Julie, Haley, Katy, etc. So, it doesn't sound like Angelina Jolie and it is not after the actress either. The meaning in French is "pretty" and the meaning in Hebrew is "Jehovah is God". Noelle means "Christmas" or "peace" which is fitting since we found out we were pregnant on Christmas day:)

So, I'll blog again sooner than later. Here is a link to what is going on with the baby this week!
