29 Weeks Today!!!

Another week has passed. I can't believe there are only 11 more weeks until my due date. I can't wait to meet you. I really wish we knew what we were going to name you. But we're still trying to decide. There is so much we still need and so much we still need to plan to be ready for you. As these weeks keep passing I keep telling myself I need to get ready already!!! Anyway, right now I'm sick, some sort of cold with a sore throat thing. It's awful. Makes me more tired then I already am. Sleeping at night is getting more and more uncomfortable and I'm waking up more often throughout the night to go to the bathroom. So frustrating, but worth the hastle for you.

28 week Update of Mommy and photos too!!!

Here are some photos that Daddy took of me today....






The last couple of days have been really rough on Mommy. At night I just can't get comfortable and I have been waking up multiple times throughout the night (although maybe you're just trying to prepare me for when you come). My lower back has been aching and for some reason at night I feel as though I have growing pains behind my knee. It's odd. Anyway, I definately am getting bigger. But I'm not gaining as much weight as I thought by looking at myself. At my last doctors appointment I asked the nurse what I weighed when I first came in and then what I weighed that day and Mommy has only gained 7lbs. Anyway, I know this last semester I'll stack on some real weight but I guess that's just part of the process.

My family at the Ultrasound....

Here's a photo from this past weekend of Aaron, myself, my step-mom, my dad, my Aunt Karen, and my Grandma at our Ultrasound appointment to see our son in 3D. It was really great having them there. They even brought party hats and treats!!!

Introducing.........

the newest member of our Family....
Well here you are. Yesterday we went and had a 3D ultrasound of you. We were so excited to see what you looked like but all you wanted to do was sleep!!!! We couldn't get you to move at all. This is about the best shot we got. Notice your hand above your head and yes, that's right, your resting your head on your foot. Doesn't look comfortable at all to me but you seemed to be enjoying it just fine.
Here was Daddy's favorite shot. A photo of your manhood. He was so proud. The lady doing the ultrasound was like, "Well it's for sure a boy!"
You just kept sleeping and sleeping!!! We tried to shake my belly to wake you up but you didn't seem to mind much at all. You yawned a bunch of times but would quickly get back into a comfy position and fall back to sleep. (Let's hope you're like that when you're born.) Most of the shots looked like this!!! You didn't work very well with us at all. You're flexible in my belly that's for sure. Most of the photos you had both of your feet stretched over your head. Too bad the ultrasound place isn't open at 10pm. when you're the most active. It was amazing to get a glimpse of what you're going to look like though. Although I was sad we didn't get a straight on shot the whole process was amazing.

27 weeks...

Today I am 27 weeks pregnant with you. Feeling good, but depressed about getting bigger and bigger. I just hope my body goes back to normal one day! This week has some really exciting events in it: Today I'm going with Daddy to check out one of the Hospitals we're considering having you at, Friday we're going to a doctors appointment to get you all checked out, & Saturday we're going to go do a 3D Ultrasound. I'm so excited to see you!!! I'll post photos this weekend.

26 weeks today!!!

6 & 1/2 MONTHS!!! You are another week older today... You continue to kick inside of my belly which I love to feel. We still have no idea what we are going to name you!!! We haven't even narrowed it down to certain names. We're just not sure. Naming you only happens once and we want to take our time deciding. Daddy wants something original and he has come up with a lot of unique names. Hopefully you'll like what we decide on. I'm feeling great, just tired and a little depressed that I'm getting larger and larger everyday now. But I guess it's o.k. I mean it's all for you right?

Your 1st Trip to Cali

Here you are at 25.5 weeks old at The Happiest Place on Earth (AKA Disneyland) I was perfectly fine from 9am. until about 2pm. but when 2pm. hit my back started to hurt from walking around so much. It's amazing how when being pregnant your back can hurt so much. It's as if bones in my lower back are just hitting eachother over and over again with every step I take. (And I'm not even that big yet) Oh well. We had a blast and I'm sure you did too!!!
Here is your 1st trip to Huntington Beach. It was freezing!!! Mommy is getting so big, this photo sure shows that off.

25 weeks...

Today I am 25 weeks pregnant with you. We are still completely undecided on your name at this point. But we enjoy watching my belly before bed time to see you move around in there. While I'm at work I feel you kick my belly too. It's neat. My bellybutton is beginning to come to the surface which is really odd looking to Mommy. I still feel as though my stomach is stretching and I get feelings of tightness in there sometimes. I just set a time for our 3-D ultrasound which will be on the 18th of April. I can't wait to see what/who you look like if we're able to tell. Today my pregnancy book says that you are a pound and a half. You're getting big but still have a lot of growing to do. Just don't stretch me out too big o.k.? hahaha... Anyway, I'm so excited for the ultrasound. I feel like I haven't seen you in a long time and I know this will be a very emotional time for Mommy and Daddy to see you in 3-D. Our friends say that after their children were actually born and they looked back at the 3-D photos they got you can definately tell they are the same baby so this will be like seeing you before you're born!!! I know I will cry.
