31 weeks and GROWING!

Jarrett and I went in for our Dr.'s appointment and were surprised when he said we were going to get an ultrasound! We were able to see her little face (with some imagination of course) in the 3-D picture. Jarrett & I decided that she looks like she has his lower lip and my upper lip! LOL.. We can't wait to meet her and kiss that sweet face!




She's been growing great, (four pounds!!) and is turned in the breech position. The Dr. is confident that she'll turn downwards within the next 9 weeks, so please keep us in your prayers that little Lindsay does a flip!

So much to be Thankful for...

This year has been so amazing and full of joy! I am so thankful for my sweet husband, little girl on the way, our precious families and great friends! God is so good!

We had a Dr.'s appointment the week before Thanksgiving and wanted to post a picture of our girl. The Dr. said she weighs 2lbs, 9oz (before Thanksgiving... I think she's pushing 3lbs after lol). She has been kicking and moving, and I feel her little hiccups at least once a day. After my next appointment on December 15th, I am going to be going in every two weeks! Wow, how time flies!

Happy 5 Year Anniversary!

Jarrett & I celebrated our five year wedding anniversary with a trip (our last one before Lindsay's born) to Portland, OR and Seattle, WA. We were able to use some airline miles that were about to expire and flew up to Portland Thursday evening. Why the Northwest? For one, I wanted to keep our flights less than 2 hrs, and two, Jarrett and I have both never been further North than San Francisco. When we arrived it was rainy, but so beautiful! We went to the Japanese Gardens, drank a ton of coffee (me decaf of course) and walked hand in hand with our umbrellas all over downtown Portland. Katie in front of the Gamma Phi Beta house at the University of Washington... with our little legacy, Lindsay!

Friday night we had to go see "New Moon" and Jarrett was so sweet to see it with me, being one of the four guys in the theater amongst the screaming teenagers...lol. Saturday morning we woke up and rented a car to drive to Seattle, WA, a two hour car ride north. We never mind the car ride, we actually prefer it.

It was so much fun to see the countryside, trees and lakes alongside the freeway. The trees and leaves were so many colors- it was absolutely beautiful. We spent two days in Seattle and visited the Space Needle, took a harbor cruise, and walked around Pike's Market.

Jarrett with the University of Washington's mascot... Go Huskies!

Jarrett's favorite part was touring the University of Washington and checking out their Student Union. We flew home on Tuesday in time for Carol's birthday and Thanksgiving!

Lindsay's Nursery Part II

The finished product...:)

Lindsay's Nursery Part I

Hanging wall letters and putting up curtains...

Putting together the crib and painting....

This weekend Grandpa Rich came to Malibu to help Jarrett and I put together Lindsay's nursery! The guys painted, put together the crib, hung curtains and even squeezed in some male bonding time to transformed our office/guest room into a beautiful nursery. Jarrett was a trooper on Saturday after an all-night campout event at the President's house running on only 3 hours of sleep. It was a windy weekend and all the dust and pollen stirred up Grandpa's allergies- but bless their hearts- they finished it! Thank you so much!!

Nursery furniture has arrived!

Wow! Monday was like Christmas morning in the Fisher house! We got our nursery furniture from JCPenny's and it is more beautiful than I could have wished for! A special thank you to Jarrett's co-workers, Caddie and Casey who were able to get the furniture to/in our apartment- we couldn't have done it without you! We are so excited because this weekend Grandpa Rich is coming to Malibu to help us paint and put together the crib and get the nursery ready for baby Lindsay. I will post finished nursery pics next week!

Daddy is putting the nobs on the dresser drawers and reading the directions for the crib...yay!

Baby Girl's name is...

After a long and arduous process, we finally decided on Lindsay Diane Fisher. Jarrett and I have always loved the name Lindsay, but we went through the process of the narrowing down every name either of us liked -- just to make sure there were no other names we liked better. :) Her middle name, Diane, has special meaning for both Jarrett and I because it is the middle name for BOTH of our precious Moms! We are really excited have decided and announced her name, because somehow, it just makes her seem all the more 'real' ..... our Daughter! Yay!
