26 Weeks +1 Day

Chris was off work yesterday, so I skipped my post and hung out with him. :-D 

We ended up going swimming at the community pool, and because my stomach was WHITE as a ghost, I got a little pink, not really BURNT, but pink enough that warm water made it a little bit sore. Oh Well! Least it's not worse!

Anyhow, As of yesterday, I'm 26 weeks. I'm almost done with my 6th month of being pregnant. :-) Which ALSO means I'm almost in the final stretch, the last trimester! 

Super excited about this. It means I'm that much closer to meeting my son face to face. :-)

The last 2 weeks, I'm been craving kool aid. The last week, it's been smiley potatoes, and the strawberry kiwi arctic rushes from dairy queen!

I have 2 weeks until my glucose screening, then my appointments are every other week!! 

Then we have 3 weeks until my first baby shower, the one Chris's sister is throwing us, more of a barbecue than anything.

We get the crib, mattress, and rocking chair in 4 weeks.

And just over 6 weeks until my second shower, thrown by my cousin.

All this means is that next Tuesday, Chris and I are going to be going through the stuff we have piled in the second bedroom, so we can turn it into the nursery. I will definitely plan to post before and after photos next week, as we do this.

25 Weeks.

25 weeks today. :-) Had my doctor's appointment. Baby was kicking through most of the appointment, but his heartbeat was 149.

I did gain 8 pounds since last time, but I'm still down at least 7 pounds from pre pregnancy.

I've been fighting heartburn bad lately. it doesn't seem to matter what I eat, I still have horrible heart burn.

My main craving here lately has been bread. (Don't worry, I've only given into it once when I made homemade bread).

I go back to the doctor in 3 weeks. This is when they are going to do my glucose test.

After that, I go every 2 weeks until I'm 36 weeks. :-)

24 Weeks - 6 Months

I can't believe I'm officially 6 months pregnant! It's Crazy!!!

This last week, I've been craving milk, smiley potatoes, and ice cream. But not alllll together. LOL

Jace has been moving around a LOT. The other night he even didn't want me feeling him kick and squirm, and I felt the stinker move away from my hand. Other than that, he kicks all the time, most times it's hard enough we can see it.

Chris's mom ordered us a heavy duty (it can hold up to 4,000 pounds) shelving unit to put in our storage closet that has no shelves. That means that once we get it, we can start going through the baby's room and emptying things out! I will post a 'before' and after blog post about all of that when we get there. 

I said 'before' because the room was a LOT worse 2 days ago than it is now. Yesterday I got Chris to help me move some stuff around. We had a library table in the bedroom that we moved into the front room. It now has a small 3 shelf bookcase on it, my plastic 3 drawer organizer next to it, and my file cabinet next to it as well. This makes me a little office corner. I can't sit in a hard chair for long now, but once Baby is born it will be great because of homework and such with school. :)

We also moved one of the 2 bookcases into our room, and cut a hole in the back of it so the TV could sit on the shelf and the cords now go out the back of it.

All in All yesterday was very productive. :)

We are slowly going to be able to get things out of the baby's room, and put up, so we can put baby furniture in it!

23 Weeks 1 Day

Sorry I didn't update yesterday!
It was my 23rd Birthday, So I spent half the day relaxing with Chris, and the dog, and the rest of the day was spent at my mother's house. My mom fixed us steaks for dinner and bought me a Birthday Cake. 

While Chris and I were relaxing Monday night and Tuesday morning, little Jace started kicking. He's getting VERY strong, and I can feel him more and more, and it always makes me smile. :) He's been kicking hard enough now that he's making my stomach move almost every time he kicks. It's such an amazing feeling.

Here is a picture of my belly this week. :)

Last Week compared to this week. :)

22 Weeks 1 Day

It's been a crazy week. Chris switching shifts, which means our weekend is no longer Saturday and Sunday, as well as getting outside with Chris since it's been so nice here.

But yesterday I turned 22 Weeks pregnant. :) My craving this week has been MILK! I can't get enough of the stuff.

Here is a comparison shot. 7 weeks Pregnant compared to today, 22 weeks 1 day.

21 weeks 5 day

After all the excitement and then finals stuff with school, I didn't post this week!

Well as you know, our doctor's appointment and Ultrasound was Tuesday! We were going to have it be a surprise and find out during photos, however that did NOT happen. We knew what it was as soon as the tech moved the thing a few inches!

It's a......

BOY!
