20 Weeks Tomorrow (Half Way There)

Well today I am 20 weeks pregnant with you. It is crazy how in just the last two weeks my stomach has grown. I actually spent quite a bit of time online the last couple of days looking for photos of other mommies 20 weeks pregnant so I could compare my belly to theirs. Hahahaha.... It looks as though I'm pretty average. Yes there are some who you can't even tell they are pregnant and then others who look like they're going into labor any day but for the most part everyone looks like something is cooking in the oven at this point. I am really nervous about how fast I am growing. I don't want to get too big!

I have had a lot of problems with Migraine headaches and just hope they go away. My back has been killing me lately as if my bones are just resting ontop of eachother. I wonder what it will feel like at 9 months pregnant.

I am beginning to put on weight. I had initially lost about 9lbs. but this past 2 weeks I have gained back 5lbs. It is crazy!!! But like I said my belly has expanded.

I have been peeing an awful lot too the last couple of weeks and wake up throughout the night on a regular basis.

I was reading online that a lot of the moms at 20 weeks have felt their baby kick a lot. I haven't felt anything. So that sort of scares me. But the ultrasound tech said it was still really early to feel anything when we found out our baby was a boy so I'm unsure what's normal. Maybe he's just a really chill baby, I don't know.

This photo makes my belly look a lot bigger then the second one. Must be the angle. BUT WOW!!! Check my belly out!!!

Baby Names...

Boy names are so HARD!!! Daddy and I have been trying to come up with some good ideas but haven't had much luck on what to call you. Something tells me it might take us a while to decide on a name. (For all of you reading this if you have any good suggestions that you'd be willing to let us consider PLEASE POST them.) We need all the help we can get.

Thanks

So your Grandpa & Grandma had us over for dinner last night to celebrate us finding out YOUR A BOY! They had this cute cake and everything. Here's a photo. They also got you a few little gifts including a little rattle that goes on your wrist, a hat, and the cutest argyle socks I have ever seen. I can't wait to see you wear them. You're going to be such a stud! Thanks again for having us over for dinner Dad & Vickie.

We're having a boy!!!!


Today was the big day and I spent the entire time at my appointment in tears. I was just so happy!!! I mean it was exciting enough just seeing you again. (I love ultrasounds) And then when we found out you were a little boy I was just so happy!!! I couldn't even control myself. I'm only 18 weeks 6 days so you don't have much fat on you yet. But the ultrasound tech had no problem finding your area! hahaha...

I got home from work tonight and Daddy had left for a meeting but left me a gift on our bed!!!
Inside were three little onsies for you when you're born. Daddy went to the Baby Gap and picked out your first little outfits all by himself.

He also gave me a really cute card saying how excited he is to have you!!! HE'S SUCH A SWEETIE!!! We are a little nervous to be parents I think but I think we'll be great! I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU in 5 months. lol...

Ultrasound Tomorrow!!!!

So I'm not sure why I am as nervous as I am to go to our Ultrasound tomorrow. I really don't care whether you're a little girl or boy at this point, I just want to know already!!!! I hate not knowing it drives me nuts!!! So many people have asked what we are hoping for. Aaron doesn't care and I just feel bad answering the questions b/c what if it's not what I want? I'm not going to be upset or anything. I'm super duper excited and would be happy no matter what we have. I just want to know already!!!! Anyway, I'll update everyone as soon as we find out tomorrow. I'm hoping to talk the ultrasound lady into giving me lots of little photos of the baby. I don't care if I have to pay more I just want a bunch of pictures. We'll see what they do.

Migraines AGAIN

So I had two Migraines this last week and spent all weekend in bed. Aaron was gone and so I had a lot of help from my Family. My Dad and Step-mom picked me up from work and brought me home b/c I couldn't drive. I was numb and in tears just sitting in my car thinking how in the world could this be happening to me again. (I just had a migraine last week) and now again. After my dad and step-mom got me home my mom and sister really helped me for the two days before Aaron got home. They sat by the toilet with me while I threw up over and over again and just sat with me while I cried and wished my headache would go away. My whole body was numb and my head was killing me. After feeling a little better Friday morning I got another Migraine on Friday. I just HATE MIGRAINES!!! I wish I didn't get them and I really hope that I don't pass them on to my baby. Nobody really understands what Migraines are unless you have them yourself. There's no trying to explain them to anyone. They're awful and I wish I never had them. I just pray that I will be o.k. for awhile. My body can't handle these anymore. I lost so much weight this weekend and just need to recover.

(18weeks 1 day) Meet your soon-to-be NEW FRIEND

Our best friends Travis and Elissa had their baby Xander on Feb. 12, 2009. I'm sure you will grow up being great friends with Xander whether you're a little girl or boy. I can't believe that we're at the stage in our life to be having our own families. It is so exciting and I can't wait for all the fun things we have ahead of us. Congratulations Travis and Elissa. We are so excited Xander is here!!!

18 WEEKS

So I'm couting down the days until my next ultrasound. Only 5 more days to wait. I'm beyond excited to go and find out if you're a little boy or girl. I feel like just in this last week my belly has really grown. Tonight I plan to go home and take a picture to post of how I am expanding. I'm starting to panic about how fast I feel like you are growing. It's exciting don't get me wrong I just don't want to be a fatty pregnant lady. I want to be a cute pregnant lady. I told Aaron I'm going to need to go shopping ASAP as I feel like my pants are getting tight this week around my belly. I'll post a photo later on tonight. When I look in the mirror my belly looks a lot bigger then this photo. But you can see it's starting to grow.

Stomach Pains

On my way into work this morning I started to realize this pain in my belly. By the time I got to work it was a constant pain. It's 9:30pm. and I still feel this pain in my stomach. It's not down low it's actually between my boobs and belly button I would say. So odd. I assume it's just you growing inside of me at a rapid pace. I think I might call the Doctors office in the morning if I still feel this way when I wake up. I just feel like my insides are just stretching to make room for you to grow which is probably very true. Anyway is this normal?

Rough Day

Feb. 6th, 2009 So I woke up earlier than normal this morning to go get my blood drawn before heading to work. Mommy dislikes getting up early but I guess I'll have to get used to that. Just the normal prenatal blood test. I guess at my next doctors visit I'll find out if I'm healthy or not. LOL.... Cross your fingers everyone. While at work I started to get a Migraine. That's right my third since being pregnant. It was awful and so I left and spent all day Friday and Saturday in bed. I wish Daddy were here but he is in Idaho this week for work.

(17 Weeks) Meet your Cousin Tegan...

"Feb. 4, 2009" The day you turned 17 weeks your cousin Tegan was born. Mommy was able to go to the hospital to watch Aunt Rachel Deliver your cousin which made me having you a little scary because I know I'm no where near as tough of of lady as your Aunt. She was so amazing and I know you will be best buddies with your cousin Tegan one day. Anyway, 17 weeks and I sure feel as if my belly is starting to grow. I have had a few people at work ask me if I'm pregnant this week which tells me I've got to look pregnant now. I've got a little pot belly going on right now and I'm afraid to say it's only going to get bigger from here on out. I'm still able to suck in and look skinny but that is getting harder and harder to do each day. I am excited to show but scared to get too big.

16 weeks

Well today I am actually 16 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I have marked the day each week in my phone so I can keep track. I have been feeling more and more uncomfortable and tired lately. My stomach is starting to feel harder so i assume that is you growing inside of me. I'm sure it wont be too much longer before it's obvious I am pregnant. I keep up on my baby book and it says that at this point you are 4.5 inches from your head to your bum so I assume with your little legs you're getting quite big and that's exciting to me. Only 16 more days until we see you again at the doctors office. Oh, I forgot to say that. My appointment that was set for the 24th was bumped up a week so we find out on the 17!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!
