So Blessed

By on April 24, 2012

Yesterday, I was standing at the sink in the kitchen, rinsing out a dish, and staring out the window into the backyard. The magnolia trees were swaying in the wind, the sun was shinning, and the grass looked soft and green. I started imagining a little boy or girl running around out there, playing with the pups, smiling and laughing. It reminded me of how blessed I truly am. I’ve always wanted to be a mom, and I’m so excited and amazed that in a few short months, my baby – MY baby – will be here. A baby I can hold and snuggle and care for and love as much as I want. I’m just so blessed.

God is so amazing and I’m so thankful for this little one growing inside of me!

The Bump!

By on April 11, 2012
*Please excuse the wet hair. We’ve been taking these pics before work and I let my hair air dry on my way to work in the morning. πŸ™‚
I was so thin. πŸ™‚

 

This was actually atΒ 6 weeks pregnant. But since I didn’t know I was
preggers until then, this will count as the 1 month pic.

 

Baby or big meal?

 

2 months and sick as a dog.

 

Starting to show a tiny bit!

 

3 months!

 

4 months and finally starting to feel better!

I have a feeling I’m going to be HUGE by September. πŸ™‚

16 Weeks!

By on April 4, 2012

How far along? 16 loooong weeks. I’m so impatient and this pregnancy is taking forever!

Maternity clothes? Bought a belly band for my jeans. I really need some pants but I haven’t had time to do much shopping. I did order some maternity clothes from Old Navy. Just waiting on them to arrive.

Stretch marks? No more than I already had. πŸ™‚

Sleep: Still up once a night to pee. I’ve been needing so much sleep this whole pregnancy. I don’t feel like I get anything done after work. I eat and then sleep. But on the weekends I have lots of energy! πŸ™‚

Best moment this week: I’ve got an appointment tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll get to hear the heartbeat but I’m really not sure what will happen. My OBGYN’s office isn’t the best on communicating what’s going on. I’ve been wrestling on switching doctors…

Miss Anything? We had some friends in town this weekend for Josh’s birthday and everyone was drinking. I was chugging some pink lemonade. But I’m not gonna lie-it just wasn’t as fun. πŸ™‚

Movement: Too early.

Food cravings: Jelly beans! Josh went out yesterday evening to get me some. Mmmmmm!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Charred/BBQed meats.

Gender: Who knows. Gotta wait until my 20 week appointment. Sigh. It’s driving me crazy not knowing!!
Labor Signs: Too early.

Symptoms: Sooooo sleepy allll the time!

Belly Button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Mood: Impatient!

Looking forward to: 4 weeks from now when I finally find out if this little one is a he or she!!

Especially now since all I wanna blog about is the baby. πŸ™‚

One of these days I’m just going to knuckle down and finish….hopefully before the baby gets here because then I’ll never get it done!!

By on March 25, 2012

Baby in my belly,
You sure do love sweet tea!! You take after your daddy’s side of the family in that regard!!

And coffee is still making me sick. I swore I wouldn’t give up my morning cup of joe..but you had other ideas. πŸ™‚

Your daddy and I can’t wait to see you again at our next ultrasound, which seems like years away. We’re trying to be patient, but it’s so hard!

We love you little one!

Love,
Mommy
