Bjorn for the Allens

HOLY SMOKES...19 days left before Sofia is due! It seems like it was just yesterday that we were introducing this blog and announcing our big news. Well, we are hoping she comes a little early. I have been experiencing some early labor but nothing to go to the hospital over. I've been having back aches and minor contractions but trying ever so hard to be a trooper.

My feet have taken on a new shape...ROUND! I've never experienced swelling like this. It looks as if I've sprained an ankel. I'm just hoping they return back to the way they were.

Today Nick and I make a purchase...we picked up what we think is an essential in the new parents "bag of tricks". The Bjorn baby carrier. Alicia turned us onto to this carrier and Nick has been keen on the idea of having hands free while holding Sofia.

I'm just excited he wants to wear it!


Here I am with our mock Sofia...


It's really comfortable and Nick and I know that this will be a great thing to have. Bella was a bit skeptical at first...but we think she's coming around...
