17 weeks

gosh each week i am just in disbelief that i am here! i have waited so long for all this and i could just cry thinking about it. oh my gosh this is really happening!! :) thank you, God! you are great! i know i wont be completely at ease til the baby is here healthy and in my arms in November. but things do feel very hopeful!

so things that are new this week... well like i said last week, a little bump is appearing. it is so fun! a few weeks ago it just felt like i had gained some extra lbs but now its starting to look like a real baby bump :) well to me at least! im sure a stranger wouldnt know i was pregnant. like when people see me rocking a bikini in jamaica they may kinda think hmmm maybe she shouldnt be wearing that ;) but i cant wait! im sure you will see the changes this month when i post the pics. also this week, im pretty sure i have felt some movement!!! being a first time mom (well sort of) i think you are unsure of what you are feeling. but im pretty sure its baby. every once in awhile i just feel like something rolls. like i feel it on my bladder or insides or something. its new so im going with its baby :) in the next few weeks im sure ill know for sure and hopefully feel it more and more. cant wait til tj can feel it too... but that will still be awhile.

well im relaxing today and maybe church this afternoon. yesterday was busy and baby and i need to rest! have a great sunday all!

busy day

today we have been busy bees! lots of spring cleaning things done. and we got all the furniture out of bullets room and delivered to the new owner! i got the room cleaned and started on the crib while tyce was gone. (probably not the best idea to be pushing around a big box like that). well i got all the pieces out and everything looked perfect until the last piece in the box-the headboard is broke!! i noticed a hole in the box when we got it and kind of wondered. so after talking to 4 different people at babies r us, they have put in a request to the manufacturer. we will hear next week if i have to figure out how to put these 100 pieces back perfectly into the box and ship it back or if they can just send me another headboard. put a damper on the 'getting my house clean and organized' plan today. boxes and wrapping are scattered everywhere! but in the midst of this i received my sleepywrap in the mail :) i read the directions and i think i already have it down! now i just need a baby here to test it out! now relaxation before taking reid to greasies as a thank you for helping us get all the bedroom furniture out! mmmm cheese smack here i come!!!

baby stuff is so fun!

i sent in my registry to cotton babies last week but its still not up on the website yet (i check a couple times a day b/c im a freak!). and monday before my appt we started our registry at babies r us. it was fun til i was getting dizzy and sick and tyson stole the gun and scan a bunch of lame things. i wonder why babies r us keeps all their cute stuff online only. its annoying b/c people probably arent going to find much at the actual store to buy for us. and yesterday i ordered my sleepy wrap! im so excited for it to get here so i can practice with it lots and be ready when baby gets here!

our toddler carseat came monday that my gma bought us. that, along with our crib in the box, and bassinet are making the living room quite crowded. i cant believe i have been busy everyday of my summer break thus far! we are gonna start cleaning the babys room out friday so we can get organized.

ahhh so much to do and learn in the next few months! but it is sooo exciting :)

oh and appt went well monday. they are so quick-a heartbeat check and you are outta there. i got some bloodwork done too. some for the research study thing and some for our sequential screen. this is where they take more bloodwork and combine it with our 1st look results and give us hopefully even a better number for the chances of the baby being healthy. this also checks for spina bifida i think. i think we get that back in a week or so. and i wont have another appt til my bday where we get to see bullet again!! i can't wait to see her but kinda nervous since they will be looking more in depth at all her organs. praying she is very healthy and there are no problems! now i am just waiting to feel her move :) i will let you know when that happens!!

16 weeks

so you have seen my pics from week to week and there isnt much of a change but maybe a little bloating here and there. well this week the bloat bump has stayed. even in the mornings its there. can't wait to see the bump grow bigger and bigger. the thing i have been most excited for for year is to feel the baby move. that will be happening hopefully this month :) yay! other changes are black hair on my belly, uncontrollable constant gas, and constipation. and my husband still thinks im sexy :) appointment tomorrow!

diaper bag

isnt this pretty?
