NYC

First trip to New York….26+ weeks pregnant!

I traveled to NY for work….women’s fall 2012 market.

It was a great experience to see many of our vendor show rooms, trends for fall, etc. I had the opportunity to visit Cucinelli, Jason Wu, McQ, Nancy Gonzalez, Rachel Zoe….just to name a few!

We also had wonderful food (obviously this part is exciting for both Brooklyn and I)….Beacon, Il Corso, Serafina, Smith. I enjoyed a walk-thru at Bergdorf Goodman and Barneys as well as a quick sip at the Four Seasons. We stayed at The Chambers, a boutique hotel in mid-town.

Brooklyn even got a gift from FAO Schwartz (WHAT A GREAT STORE….I am already excited about taking her there one day!!!).

Overall, it was a successful trip….I did not get to see the typical touristy things but look forward to do that on a personal visit.

Miss Little Burger has a NAME!!!

We are so excited to have such a perfect name for our little girl!

Brooklyn Kari Shamburger

Brooklyn is a name Austin and I have been in love with (chosen) for several months....

before we knew we were having Little Burger...much less a girl!

The middle name, Kari, is after my 2 wonderful Grandmas: KAtie and RIta.

Love them both dearly and could not think of better ladies for our little Brooklyn to be named after! We just can't wait to meet her =)

We told the family with a little 'name scramble'!

Each of the letters above were mixed up and put in an envelope. It was so much fun to watch them try to figure it out. Shamburger was obviously easy but it took a few guesses to narrow down the rest!

CC is ready for Brooklyn to come visit already.....crib is up, pink bumper attached, and name displayed!

What a great idea CC!!!

Week 20 - Ultra Sound

We are happy to report Little Burger received an A+ at our week 20 doctor appointment!

LB's brain, heart, kidneys, etc were all checked per our ultra sound and passed with flying colors! This was the best news ever!!!

Our little baby is still growing and developing and healthy - could not be happier!!!

Gender Reveal Party on Saturday!!!

Little Burger is the size of a small cantaloupe!

I am feeling GREAT! A bit emotional at times but really just feeling normal - minus the belly growth. My 'baby bump' is getting bigger....my clothes are getting tight!

I went shopping for some maternity clothes so I am prepared for the morning nothing fits!

Based on my Gap Maternity experience....I am not sure why anyone would want to go back to 'normal' clothes! Elastic wastes are awesome =)
