Stretch marks? nothing major and wasn't there before

Sleep: eh, it loves me and hates me

Best moment this week: well last week I registered! That was fun :)

Please excuse the arm (yikes) :)

He's not spoiled or anything...

My MIL and I went shopping this last Tuesday. I would have loved to go with Travis or my mom, but they both weren't able to go, and lets face it... I have 2 main shopping buddies, my sister and my MIL. And boy can she shop! All of the outfits in his closet (including little baby shoes, socks, and a stuffed animal) came from her. Travis and I bought one outfit after the u/s, and a friend from work bought him a few things. Everyone is so generous! He is going to be one spoiled cookie!

Here are some of my favorites!




I think this will be his "going home outfit"...although I am not sure yet!



All this only after 2 days! Whew...I am so grateful. We've waited a long time for you buddy!

Drumroll Please....

Its a BOY! We were so wrong, but I couldn't imagine it being any other way now. I cannot wait to have a little soccer player running around creating mischief! Travis told me he was going to become a MMA fighter, but we'll see about that! He does like to kick mommy a lot so maybe he might be right :) We get to have another u/s in 2 weeks because baby was stubborn and wouldn't move (just like daddy :) Hopefully we get to see his spine this time! I will tell you though, he was not shy about the money shot! I think the tech knew within the first few moments!

Here is handsome...


These are his "boy parts"


Here he is showing us how flexible he is! Thats his leg above his head. Apperently that is his preferred position because he would NOT move so that the tech can get a shot of his spine. Thats okay though, I get to see him again in 2 weeks :)

Today has been a very exciting day! I cannot wait to meet our son! :)


How far along? 20 weeks 2 days

Total weight gain/loss: 10 lbs (!!!)

Maternity clothes? mostly everything

Stretch marks? nothing major and wasn't there before

Sleep: is becoming uncomfortable again :(

Best moment this week: seeing our son on the u/s

Movement: I am feeling him almost every day now!

Food cravings: meat, cheese, and lemonade (hows that for old wives tales!)

Gender: BOY! Handsome and adorable!

Labor Signs: I sure hope not anytime soon!

Belly Button still in

What I miss: sleeping on my back

What I am looking forward to: Seeing him again on July 2nd! Hope he cooperates this time!

Weekly Wisdom: Now that I feel kicks I have to learn that not everything is a bad sign. I had some spotting due to stretching, and I freaked. Not 20 minutes later baby kicked me as if to say hello, I'm okay in here. I love this reassurance!

Milestones: finding out that our baby is a BOY!

sweet babies







This is my oh so sweet nephew Hayden and niece Bailey. They make my heart smile!

Bailey is 2 1/2 and getting such a personality. When you say cheese she throws he arms to the side and makes her huge grin. Then she immediately wants to see what the picture looks like and laughs and laughs. She is such a ham! When you ask to take a pic with you she will wrap her arm around you and squeeze you in close. My sister says she is the queen of all things girly! Seriously, you don't give this girl toys, you get her shoes and purses. We are in trouble...

Hayden is growing up too fast and I cannot believe he is starting kindergaten this fall! I asked him what he wanted the baby to be, and he said boy because he will get to play with him. I asked him if he would play with the baby if its a girl, and he flat out said no. He told me Bailey could though. At least he's considerate :)

Thats all, I'll stop bragging now :) Only 3 more days and we are soooo excited!!

Almost there!

How far along? 19 weeks even

Total weight gain/loss: 10 lbs (!!!)

Maternity clothes? all my pants are, but went shopping this week and found a few tops from Old Navy that fit wonderfully that aren't maternity. Yay!

Stretch marks? I think I am getting my first from baby. I have a long scar on my stomach from surgery I had on it, and I am seeing little red marks around it.

Sleep: Its alright. I find that I can sleep better during my daily naps.

Best moment this week: My dr. appointment last Thursday. Hearing the heartbeat doesn't ever get old!

Movement: I am feeling it almost every day now!

Food cravings: Any red meat, peaches, lemonade

Gender: Only 1 week (and 2 days) to go! I still think girl, but I will be so happy either way!

Labor Signs: I sure hope not anytime soon!

Belly Button still in

What I miss: sleeping on my back

What I am looking forward to: Our big u/s Tuesday the 16th! Vote to the left!

Weekly Wisdom: I am not wishing myself to get big too soon. I am learning that I will grow bigger pretty much every week now and with that I will continue to get more and more uncomfortable!

Milestones: Almost the big u/s! Woo hoo!

So I went to the doctor the other day and sat for about a hour waiting for her (but thats another story!) and when she finally came in, I was able to ask her a question that has been hanging over my head for a couple of weeks now. My right hand gets achy and tingly/numb every so often, and to tell you the truth, I was kind of worried. She tells me I have developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome! What fun! She says its because I work on the computer most of the day and I should get a hand brace if it bothers me too much. She said that the good thing is that it goes away after pregnancy. Oh yay! I get 21 more weeks of feeling like my hand is going to fall off! Lucky me! :) Oh the joys of pregnancy!
