Anniversary Trip

Jason and I went to lake Texoma this weekend for our anniversary. We have a very good time. We stayed in a cabin and fished. It was a perfect weekend on the lake. We have had a wonderful anniversary, I can't believe it has already been 1 year. It seams like yesterday that we were getting married. I got us a small cake seeing how we did not have the cake from the wedding. The cake was cute but it looked nothing like the actually wedding cake.



I have added my 20 week pictures and pictures from the lake.

Ok I am really frustrated right now with adding pictures. For some reason I can not get the site to add the pictures. When I can get it to work I will post them. Sorry.

19 Week Photos

Wow I really feel like I have gotten so much bigger over the past few days. Jason does not think I have gotten that much bigger. I am not sure if you can tell from the pictures. We just got back from Albuquerque, we had a good trip. I went clothes shopping, I do have some clothes but I was hurting on work pants. It is definitely nice to be looking more pregnant rather than fat.

Trip

I am 19 weeks. 1 more week until I am half way! Wow this is going by really quickly. I did not gain any weight this week. My clothes are a lot tighter, I am not sure what I am going to do about my work clothes next week, I may have an issue. I have had a few people comment on my belly this week at work, they can definitely tell that I am showing. I will try and get this weeks picture up soon.

We finished our guest room, it looks really good. I do not have pictures taken yet, but I will try and get some taken next week.

We are in Albuquerque for the weekend. It is really nice to see my mom and family. She has been begging us to come out here for a long time, we were able to get a good flight so we are here for the long weekend. My aunt made us a baby outfit and it is so cute, I can't wait to try it on the baby. She hand crocheted it and it is amazing. She must have spend a lot of time on it. I love it!

We are looking forward to finding out the sex and starting to work on the nursery.

Dr. Appointment

I had my monthly dr. appointment today. Everything went very well. We got the results back from the blood work. The did some genetic screening and everything came back normal. The baby's heartbeat was in the 150's. The dr. tried to get the baby to wake up and get the heartbeat up, but I guess we were tired. I have my next dr. appointment on June 16th. We have a sonogram that day so we will find out the sex.

My dr. is also pregnant and she is due the day before me, so we have had to choose a new dr. I choose a new dr. today, I will not start seeing her every appointment until near the end.

I am still feeling the baby, but not everyday.

Week 18

Today I started my 18th week. I have been exercising most days which has been working well for me. I have still been feeling well. I go back to the Dr. on Tuesday. They will be looking at my lab results to see if there is anything else they will need to look for in my next sonogram. I am hoping everything is fine with the labs, they did some genetic screening tests. My clothes are getting tighter, I will have to go shopping soon. Jason is not happy about the shopping thing, but I will try and keep the spending to a minimum.

We are starting to think about paint colors for the nursery. We are done painting the living areas, next we are moving into the guest bedroom, then ours and then the nursery. We will be getting new carpet after that. Our house is really starting to come together. The major issue I still have with the house is the storage space.

I will take my 18 week pictures on Saturday and I will get them posted as soon as possible. Hopefully I will get this picture taking thing down and get some good pictures on this blog.

WOW

Well I think it is official! I felt the baby kick today. I have been feeling things off and on for about a week or so, but nothing I could be for sure about. Today I felt a few kicks here and there, but I have not felt anything again for a few hours. I am so very excited about this, I have been waiting for so long to feel the baby move. To actually feel the baby is more amazing than I ever thought it would be. I can't wait for more to come.

Week 17

Everything has been going really well. I have still been feeling well, I really can not be more blessed. Jason and I have lots going on right now getting ready for the baby. Currently we are in the middle of painting the house. We are almost done with the living and dining areas. We are really bad painters, so everything we are doing seams like it is taking us 10 times longer than it would take the normal person. Next we are going to move into the bedrooms. We will be waiting a little while to paint the nursery until we find out the sex. Once we get done with painting we are going to be getting new carpet. So many changes are going on right now, and we are excited about each and every one of them.

These pictures were taken yesterday. They are a lot better than the ones last week. I am actually smiling in the sideways shot, even though it does not look like it.

Week 16

I can't believe I am going to put these on here. I really did not get dressed up for these pictures. If I don't take them early in the morning then I forget to take them. I am trying to take pictures weekly but sometimes I forget. I have gained 9 pounds, I think it is all in my butt and thighs.

I am just waiting to look more pregnant and not just fat. I guess this is just part of the process.

Post #1

Well this is my first post, as I am very new to this....

As you all know I am pregnant and I am due on Oct. 15. This is Jason and my first baby and we are extremely excited about this new adventure. I am going to try and figure all of this out and keep everyone posted along our journey.
