Pictures

Sorry it took so long. I am not doing so well at keeping up on this blog obviously. Maybe I will do better once the baby is born sonce I will have more to write about...but maybe I won't because I still won't have the time. :-)

I'm not thrilled about these pics because I can't take any good ones in my opinion but I am putting them up anyway just for you! :)

20 Weeks:

25 weeks: (I think)

29 Weeks:

Now it's halfway thru the 30th week and I'm excited that we are getting to the single digit #'s!!!

Time Away

We officially only have 12 more weeks until this boy comes into our world and there are some many things we haven't done! We have yet to come up with a name...and we have not done anything with a nursery at all. Ok...wait...so I have things all in a closet for him...but have not cleared out a room nor have any furniture for this little bug. Guess you could say I am a little overwhelmed!

Of course part of the reason we haven't done anything with a room yet was because we were praying that this house would sell. That way we wouldn't have to do all this moving around with the room then have to move it all out if it did sell and do things all over. But, with only 3 months to go, that will fly by, I guess we better start something.

We did have a showing last week that our realtor said went really well...we just need the couple to be approved and then she thinks they will make an offer! This is the CLOSEST we have ever been to hearing about an offer so we are really praying they will get approved and make a decent offer. Of course I don't want to move now but I am ready to be with my husband every night instead of one night a week and then the weekends. We miss the time together.

Speaking of spending time together, Steve has planned a weekend getaway for us this coming weekend. He wanted to completely surprise me but of course since I would need to take a day off work, I had to know a little bit. I am still excited as ever and can't wait. We will be able to enjoy the time together before our lives completely change in May. One last fling by ourselves!!
We will also be able to do some shopping for the baby and hopefully getting registered and all that fun stuff! I would like at least one piece of furniture to make me feel like we are getting somewhere. :-) We have a doc appointment also on Friday morning so it's gonna be a great weekend!

I do have pics of my belly that I need to post so I will do that next week! Be watching!! ;)

Movements

I am feeling this little boy move all over the place and it is the most wonderful feeling! There is no way to really explain it!! I have been waiting for Steve to be able to feel these little kicks and movements. Well, he finally felt them on Friday night. It seems every other time I would have him put his hand on my belly, he would stop moving. So he was moving a lot and when I had Steve put his hand there, it took a matter of maybe 30 seconds and our little boy moved just right or did a little kick for his daddy!!! I was just so excited for him to finally feel him. There are so many things I can't explain to him so for him to feel the baby, even from the outside, meant so much to me.

Week 26 is here and all of the sudden I feel like time is flying! My belly is definitely getting bigger and I feel better because you can actually tell I am pregnant now and it's not questionable. :-) I am feeling so good right now as I am in the 'happy middle months'! I have a little bit of heartburn but to me, that a much easier to deal with than getting sick!

Still no names picked out... It is really hard to decide on the name! If I am having a hard time deciding on this, I don't know what I will do when there are other major decisions. YIKES! :-) I'm starting to think we won't have a name picked out until he arrives because we really cannot agree on a name. But, maybe that is the best so we can see him first and then know what he should be named.

January has flown by for us and we are excited to experience what happens next.

2009 is the year!

We finally rang in 2009! It wasn't too much different for us as far as what we did this year...didn't make it to midnight again! Now we are wondering if we will ever be able to stay up. Sure we could put the baby to bed for 2010 but we both are exhausted by the end of the day now. I hope we both get some energy this year that we once had.

We of course are looking forward to what this year will bring us! Hopefully a healthy baby boy in May (which doesn't seem too far away now! - YIKES). We both hope to be the best first time mom and dad that we can be. It will be all so new and exciting with I am sure it's share of exhausting and frustrating moments, but we are ready to have our own little family. We also hope that this family of ours can be together in Mt. Vernon. I know it will be hard to be away from my family, especially at a time I may need them the most, but it's been a getting harder with Steve driving back and forth and I know he wants to be with us once this little boy arrives. So although it will be sad to leave, we want to have our family all together. With all that is going to come our way, we are ready and thrilled to see what happens. God has a plan for us and we trust him with every step of the way.
