17 weeks!!!

3 more weeks until this pregnancy is half over!!!!! I cannot wait to hold this baby in my arms! Here is my 17 week pic, and a pic of me sucking in, because it looks ridiculous heheh

I still look fat, not pregnant :( and I still have only gained a total of 3.5 lbs. Is that normal?

1 week 6 days until we know the gender! I cannot believe it! Everything will change once we find out! We will have a name for the baby, a theme for the nursery... I just cannot contain my excitement!!! AHHHHHHH

Not much else to report, I have a sore throat right now, so I'm just laying low the last two days, hoping to kick in the crotch so I don't have to go in and be treated (yes, sore throat's have crotches) Other than that, things are going great :)

Blog mini make-over

This was the ONLY way I could get my blog out of one ugly column!!! LOL. FINALLY!!!!!

Well, it looks like everyone is pretty convinced I'm having a boy so far lol! I guess we will find out soon enough, 14 days until we find out the gender!! YAY!!!

I want to go to Babies R US afterwards and look around at all the gender themes for the nursery, although I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to my favorite theme for each gender at their online site.

Then I want to set up my registry!! I'm so excited, i cannot believe all of this is really happening, God is so faithful and awesome. I deserve NONE OF THIS!!!! I am worthy of NOTHING he has given me, yet he still is choosing to bless... what a mighty God I serve... All the heart ache and the pain, the tears, and sleepless nights will be worth it when I look into my child's eyes and see what all the waiting was for...

Thank you God...

GENDER POLL

So I'm setting up a gender poll for people to guess what the gender is!!! It will close the night before my ultrasound! so Happy voting!!

Also, my blog has been tweaking out lately so if you have trouble finding where there poll is located it may be at the very very bottom.

All of my "gidgets" that were once so wonderfully located to the left of my blogs have all shifted UNDER my blogs into one ugly column. I am still trying to figure out how to fix this :(

16 weeks pregnant

Today was a good day! Praise the Lord!!! We heard the heartbeat the minute the doppler touched my belly :) YAY!!! Heart rate was between 145 and 150 beats per minute. Now i deffinatly believe that what I have been feeling have been little baby movements in my tum tum :)

Our gender ultrasound is scheduled for July 9th!!!! So about 2 1/2 weeks until we find out what we got in there!!!!!!!!!!! wooo hooo

After the appt we went to Motherhood Maternity and I got some cute maternity items! They are so comfy!! I just can't believe I am buying maternity clothes... God is so good. I remember feeling like this would never happen. I am so thankful every day for his goodness and his blessings :)

Thanks again to all of you who continue to hold me in your prayers :)

<><>

15 weeks pregnant! WOO HOO

One more week until my next appt!!! I cannot wait to hear that beautiful heart, beating away.

Please Lord, continue to protect my little one! Give me peace for my appointment, so that I can trully enjoy thing pregnancy. Thank you for this gift, not a day goes by that I am not thankful. I long to hold this little miracle in my arms, and everytime I look into my baby's eyes, I will remember your goodness :) Thank you God....

Everything is good latley! I feel pretty good. In the evenings I have some back aches and just joint aches in general. Bloat is my constant companion :)

Still waiting for kicks and punches... But that's still a few weeks away.

I'm STARTING to get a little energy back, not much, but more than before. I might help out at a local high school around here for volleyball seaon. It might be nice to go through a season being just a volunteer and not having all those other obligations, just working with girls and enjoying the sport I love :)

Well, Hazel just jumped on my lap and is licking my face like crazy.... i THINK she wants attention LOL....

14 weeks pregnant!

14 weeks pregnant......

Today is 14 weeks!!! I feel pretty good, really gassy though!! but I'm not really sure if that is anything new har har har. Tummy is getting pretty hard and sticking out a lot further than I thought it would at this stage! I swear it looks so much bigger in the pictures too.

I'm so hungry allllll the time and i get really sick of cooking and preparing food all the time... but it has to be done....

If it isn't my imagination, i have been feeling teeny tiny movements latley when I lay down. All last night I felt these little bubble feelings in my tummy, i kept waiting for gas to accompany it lol, but it never did. I wish I was confident enough to say "THAT was the baby" but not quite yet. I cannot wait for the undeniable kicks and punches lol.

Next appt is still 2 weeks away, seems so far! Then Hopefully I can get in 2 weeks after that for the BIG u/s. So here's hoping that in 4 weeks we will know what gender the baby is!!! woo hoo! I cannot wait to start painting and deciding on pattern's and themes :)

Thankyou God for you wonderful gift! Praise you Lord, for the amazing things you do! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
