Her nursery is all ready, now we just need a baby...

Woohoo!! The nursery is all ready! Here are a few pics of Baby Taylor's room. (It is so much cuter in person=)) The pink, brown, and green theme has been so much fun to play with. We can't wait to get Taylor home so she can see her room! Also,we have her outfits all picked out to take her home in...we are packing a couple of sizes...just in case...you know, a girl has to have her options!=)

Brock and Logan...

Brock is all cheeks!

Mr. Logan is looking so grown up!

I have loved having time off these past couple of weeks to visit friends and family. I spent last Thursday hanging out with the nephews in Gardner. Brock and Logan are getting so big! It won't be too much longer until they have a girl cousin to play with. =)

Meet Emmitt Peters..

Proud Mama!




Saying hello to Taylor!



So, it is really getting real because our friend Nealy had her baby boy on Mother's Day, which means that Taylor is not that far behind! We visited with them last night and Emmitt was absolutely adorable!! Nealy has been 4 weeks ahead of me during our pregnancies...and it has been so much fun to go through all this together. We are looking forward to having babies the same age and experiencing motherhood together!

Countdown is on...

Well, I have offically had one week of maternity leave and I am loving it. I am getting last minute touches to the nursery finished up, running errands, and most importantly...taking it easy.

I love this picture of Luke and I as babies from my shower because we are so excited to meet Taylor and we can't wait to see what she looks like. It could be any day now...

Growing Baby Bellies

My friend Nealy is 4 weeks ahead of me with her little bundle of joy due on May 17th. The gender has been kept a surprise for us all including Nealy and Eric...so in less than a month we will know if Taylor will have a new girlfriend or boyfriend, and we can't wait! This past Saturday was Nealy's baby shower so we thought it would be a good time to take some updated belly pics...WOW are we getting BIG!!

Baby Taylor Preview!

Last week we got a sneak preview of Baby Taylor during a 3D/4D sonogram. It was awesome! She was so active! She kept putting her little hands in front of her face and she was even crossing her little legs. Only 7 weeks to go till we get to meet her!!

National Champions!

Wearing Luke's shirt...mine offically doesn't fit=)

Kenna, Mickey, and Me

Mass Street after the game...crazy!!!

It has been one exciting week here in Lawrence, KS! We had a blast watching the game on Monday with a bunch of our friends. (I thought the stress was going to put me in pre-mature labor!) It's so incredible how the the town comes together in such as awesome time of celebration! Go Jayhawks!

Marathon Man...

Before the big race!
After 26.2 Miles!


Almost to the finish line!

I am proud to announce that my father is officially my hero!! My dad ran in the St. Louis marathon this past weekend and kicked butt! He has been training so hard and it all paid off on Sunday when he crossed the finish line after 26.2 miles of running! That is over 4 hours of running without stopping! Luke, Mom, Dad, and I made a weekend trip out of it and had a great time visiting the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, Union Station , and cheering the Jayhawks on to a victory again North Carolina. On Sunday, we cheered Daddy-O on as he accomplished what most people would never even attempt. Way to go Ken Fen!! You are amazing!

Happy Easter!

Look what happens when you dye Easter eggs!

Crazy chicks!

Owen not sure what to think.

Peyton is a pro at this now!

So, I have been a horrible blogger lately. But the good thing is this...Kevin is back from the cruise ship and he brought my camera back to me....so it's time to start taking pictures again. Just in time for baby Taylor!! This Easter was so much fun. Luke's family all met down at the farm where his parents had 16 baby chicks waiting for all the grandkids...the chicks were even dyed easter egg colors...too funny=) They were quite the hit with all the boys! I couldn't help but think how fun it will be next year when Taylor gets to participate in all the festivities!

Introducing Nephew #5...Brock Ethan Bell

Happy Birthday Brock!


Uncle Luke better get use to this=)

Big Brother Logan meeting Brock!

Proud Dad DJ, Luke's Brother!

Brock Ethan Bell arrived early Wednesday morning, March 5th and he is absolutely perfect! This makes Bell Boy #5 and will offically make Taylor the only girl out of 6 grandchildren. Luke is worried that no one will play tea party with her, but I have a feeling she will be running the show with all those boys!

Pregnancy Photo Shoot!

My talented sister took pictures of me and my pregnant belly this weekend! It will be fun to have these pictures for years to come. It was the most perfect day with my sister and mom and I can't wait to hang out again. I love them so much! Thank you for capturing this amazing time in my life Baby Sister. I love you! ...check out all the photos at http://www.jaredkatieday.blogspot.com/

Taylor Katherine Bell...we are having a GIRL!!!

What an amazing day! We found out today that we are having a perfectly healthy baby girl. The sonogram was unbelievable. She was moving around like crazy, stretching her arms and legs and we even saw her yawn! There was one point when she was moving her hand like she was waving at us. It was absolutely amazing. She only weighs one pound right now but even with being so small, she has all the right parts in all the right places. Unbelievable! I will be scanning in sonogram pictures soon! We can't wait to meet our daughter!

Getting Closer to the revealing...

Just wanted to share with everyone that if this week doesn't speed up, I am going to lose it! =)Friday at 3pm seems so far away right now! It's like Christmas morning and I am waiting to see if there is a blue or pink bow on my present. Either way, I don't care...I just can't wait to find out. We have our names all picked out, so I will be revealing the little booger as soon as I am near a computer after my appointment! So stay tuned and see...
