6 Months!

It is so crazy to think I am 6 months pregnant! I just can't believe how much fun it has been! (*knocks on wood!*) I am feeling good. I do get tired after being on my feet all day. I can feel Caleb kicking what seems like all the time now! Matt felt it last nite for the first time. It was a small kick but he finally got to feel it!

I spent Saturday with a few of my favorite pregnant girls (minus one!) We had a good time. Here is a picture of all our bellys!



this is Carla, Shauna, me and Tia. Lots of babies to be born this year!

So my next doctor's appointment is May 7th. This is the appointment where I have to drink the sugar stuff and get my blood drawn for gestational diabetes. I'm not sure why, but this test freaks me out! The Dr says not to be worried and its a simple test and even if I do have the gestational diabetes everything will be ok. You know me! I'm a worrier and a googler! I have been reading all these terrible things about it so now I have myself convinced I do have it. I just need to get my mind off it! Maybe a trip to Vegas will work!

Alright my faithful followers! I love you all and will blog at you soon!

23 weeks

Hi everyone!

I am finally ready to post a new picture. I feel like my belly is growing more and more everyday. Today I noticed it seems heavy! When I am walking or just standing it feels like my belly is sagging. I don't know if that is the right word but it feels like gravity is pulling it down when I walk.

Next week I am going to Vegas with Matt. He will be there for work and I will fly in Thursday. I'm pretty excited. He has a suite at the Vanishan! I am looking forward to a little shopping.



Talk to everyone soon!

What a weekend!

Not only was this weekend beautiful we got a lot done! Matt and I cleaned out the garage, we took a truck full of junk to the dump. Then Matt posted his un-used gym equipment on Craigslist and 20 minutes later we had a buyer! The guy came to pick up the weight bench and free weights and his wife insisted she wanted the home gym, SOLD! My garage is the cleanest it has ever been! We have at least one more dump run and I will feel 50 pounds lighter!

Caleb's room is still a SLOW work in progress. Matt and I went to Babies R Us and I thought Matt was going to pass out! He was so over whelmed! My plan was to start our registry, but Matt didn't want any part of that! So we agreed to pick out the big stuff and I would come back and do the rest. We did finally pick out our bedding!! Its called Jungle babies and I LOVE IT! We found the rocker/glider we want and we figured out the color of the crib we want. We found some styles we liked but I want to bring in a seasoned veteran to help me out (hint hint Shauna!) We found a nice car seat stroller combo we liked. Matt even took the car seat out and folded the stroller down and took it for a test drive through the isles! Now I have to do the research on it. I want to read the reviews and see what others thought of it. I know we have a lot to do but I actually feel good after this weekend! We agreed on a lot of the big things. Now we need to get rid of that HUGE wall unit thing in the spare room so I can start painting!

I feel like we got a lot done in one day so I'm not so worried anymore! It will all come together! I just am so excited to start! I have a new belly picture to post, but I'm at work getting paid to blog and i don't have it here. I will post it soon I promise! I know you have all heard that one before! But I really will!

OH I almost forgot my most exciting news!! I felt Caleb kick from the outside yesterday! It was amazing! Ok I better get to work!

Love you all!

Not my favorite day...

I went to the doctors today for my monthly check-up. I got to hear Caleb's heartbeat, nice and strong! They took my blood pressure and told me its the highest it has ever been. I have never had high blood pressure. She didn't seem too worried, its not high enough to take medication for but she said it was high for me. So that freaked me out! She asked me if I have been stressed out about anything and I told her about my what I call mini anxiety attacks. She assured me Caleb is fine. She must have seen the scared look on my face! She rushed right over to me and hugged me. She told me to take it easy and just relax.

To top off this not-so-fun-day, my favorite nurse Kara is no longer there :( how sad! The new girl is nice but she is not Kara! Well that's about all I have for today. I will post some 21 week pictures soon.

Love you all!

1/2 way there!

We have hit our 20 week mark! 20 more to go! There is a tiny bit of light at the end of the tunnel! Things are going great. I feel Caleb moving all the time now. It still takes me by surprise, but I love it! The belly is growing at what I think is an alarming rate, yet i have only gained 2 pounds (since the last Dr appointment on 3/12/09. I'm almost positive I have packed on a few pounds since then!)

I am so excited we are having a boy! I would have been happy with either, but I know Matt wants a little boy to take fishing and to baseball and football games. I cant wait to see him hold his son for the first time!

I feel like I have so much to do but i don't know when to start doing it?! How soon is TOO soon? I went shopping last weekend and bought a couple cute outfits. I just love looking at baby stuff! I want to go pick out the crib and the bedding. I want to buy a rocking chair. OH and the research that needs to be done just to find a safe car seat! HOLY COW! When do I sign up for the birthing class? When do I tour the hospital? Maybe I have plenty of time to do all this and I'm freaking out for no reason! That could be! Apparently I'm not very patient!

No new cravings. I am still eating grapes by the bunch! I need to find something new to drink. All I have is water and I want something else, some kind of juice that doesn't give me heartburn! Is there such a thing?! I bought my first pair of maternity pants. they are comfortable but it does take some getting use to. The belly support thing goes just under my bra! That's a little high!

Well I better get going, I'm still at work! :) Getting paid to update my fans! I will post the 20 week picture either tonight or VERY soon!
Love you all!
