| Blurry pic – we really need a new camera before baby gets here! |
25 weeks?! Holy cow how did we get this far along? Although it still feels like forever until September…
How far along? 25 weeks!
Maternity clothes? Yep! I can still wear a few of my regular dresses and shirts. I’m loving maternity jeans.
Stretch marks? No new ones.
Sleep: Pretty good. I’m having to wake up to flip to my other side and get re-situated with my body pillow, which kind of sucks. But otherwise I’m sleeping well!
Best moment this week: Last week I went to a belly mapping class with a friend from church who’s pregnant. (She’s have a boy too – due in July!) The class included an ultrasound, so I got to see my little buddy! He’s so cute!
Miss Anything? Red wine and sleeping on my stomach.
Movement: LOTS!! Josh thought he was feeling the baby while we were in the Bahamas and last week our little guy gave his daddy’s hand a BIG kick! The day after the big kick, Josh texted me at work and told me he couldn’t wait to get home so he could feel the little guy again. 🙂
Food cravings: Fruit and cheeseburgers…mmmm
Anything making you queasy or sick: A few times the past week I’ve woken up on my back and felt a little nauseous. Not sure what that’s from… I feel fine once I turn on my side.
Gender: Sweet little boy!
Labor Signs: Nope.
Symptoms: Just this huge baby bump!
Belly Button in or out? In, but it def looks different than it used to!
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Mood: Mostly really happy! Every now and then I can tell my hormones are working because I’ll feel sad for no reason. But then I just think of my little boy and I’m happy again!
Looking forward to: My 3D/4D ultrasound!!! I’m just trying to coordinate a date with my parents and Josh’s patents and then we’ll get it scheduled. 🙂

Babymoon in Pictures
By sunshineandholly on June 6, 2012Our babymoon was wonderful!
 |
| I kissed a dolphin! |
 |
| It’s always been on my bucket list to play with dolphins – I finally got to do it! And as you can tell from my face in this picture – It. Was. Awesome!!!! |
 |
| Baby D. and I spent lots of time soaking up the sun. |
 |
| We said hi to all of the fish in the aquariums. |
 |
| The hotel was beautiful! We did lots of walking and exploring around the resort. |
 |
| Baby D. kissed a dolphin too! |
 |
| This pirate wanted to feel Baby D. kicking. 🙂 |
 |
| We ate dinner at some |
 |
| Josh tried all the water rides. |
 |
| Shark! |
 |
| My goofy hubby. 🙂 |
 |
| Watch out for Jaws! |
 |
| So pretty! |
We really had an AWESOME time. (However, I will say that the food prices at Atlantis are ridiculous…) The resort was beautiful and we spent lots of time relaxing and soaking up the sun. I didn’t think I’d be able to do the dolphin experience pregnant (I googled before I left and people online said that it wasn’t safe – the dolphins can sense the second heartbeat and it freaks them out..) but I decided to ask anyway when we got there. We got a BOGO deal on the dolphin experience with our hotel room, so I figured, why not just ask? I understand if the resort doesn’t let you because of liability reasons, but it can’t hurt to ask. Turns out – you can totally do it pregnant!! I was crazy excited and it was the highlight of the trip!
I’m so glad we were able to do a babymoon before the baby arrives. Every day I’m amazed at how blessed I am. I have a wonderful husband, a loving family, great friends, a sweet baby boy on the way, a house over my head, money in the bank…God is so great!!
I haven’t had too much time to blog lately, which is sad since I wanted to document my pregnancy way better than I have been.
And I won’t be blogging for the next 5 days because…….
We’re off to the Bahama’s on our Babymoon!!!!! Lots of sun, sleep, and s…time with my husband. 😉 Our last vacation as a family of 2. 🙂
Can’t wait!

Baby D.’s Gender Reveal Party!
By sunshineandholly on May 4, 2012 |
| Homemade gender reveal cupcakes. They’re actually much easier to make than you’d think! |
Last Sunday, we had one of those popular “gender reveal” parties. And if you know me, I’m all about announcing things in a fun and creative way! If you couldn’t tell from this post and this post. 🙂
 |
| Lots of blue and pink decorations! |
 |
| More decorations! |
 |
| The cupcakes. Everyone was dying to know what color filling was on the inside! |
 |
| Voting! |
 |
| The old wives tales make it seem like it’d be a girl. |
 |
| Team Boy! And I’m still not sure how everyone knew! |
 |
| Team Girl! |
And here are the reactions. First up, Josh’s mom and dad:
 |
| “Are we ready?” |
 |
| “Bite!” |
 |
| “What color is it?” |
 |
| “Blue!! I knew it!” |
And my parent’s reactions:
 |
| My dad is totally trying to sneak a peek here. 🙂 |
 |
| “Ready?” |
 |
| My mom sees blue and is looking at me totally surprised. I think my dad is either in shock, or still trying to figure out what color is inside. 🙂 |
 |
| Then my dad starts smiling! “It’s a boy!” |
And a few more candids from the party:
 |
| Josh with my good friend Kara’s sweet baby girl. |
 |
| My cute niece! |
 |
| Lauren and my niece. 🙂 |
 |
| Josh and my older niece dancing! |
 |
| Happy parents-to-be! |
