10 Weeks To Go!!!

A Good bit has happened in the last few weeks that I have put in the survey as well as attached pictures of Gracie taken earlier this week, along with my belly pictures so those of you who can't see me can see how big I am getting!!

Here is this weeks survey!!

Pregnancy: 30 weeks, only 10 weeks left, hopefully!!!

Weight Gain: I had a dr.s appoinment this morning and I have gained a total of 20 lbs. so far!

Sleep: Sleep has been pretty good lately, with the help of a pillow between my legs still.

Gender: Still a girl, and a beautiful one at that. Below are some pictures that we had done at a 3-d ultrasound on Monday!! Hope you enjoy!

Name: Gracie is a definite, but still no middle name!

Feeling: Really good still! Getting more and more excited!!

Health: Still on track where I am supposed to be, so the doctor tells me!

Movement: I have started feeling more than just the little kicks and hits. I can now feel her moving around and can feel body parts!

Belly: Out there!!

What I am looking forward to: Still excited about the unknown and all what is still to come! My baby showers have started so we have started to get lots of good stuff that I am trying to keep organized so I won't become so overwhelmed!

What I miss: My "innie" belly button!!

Gracie

This is how Gracie was pretty much the whole time! Very un-cooperative!! As you can see she has her arms in front of her face along with her left foot up there! After a while of moving and poking she finally moved her feet down and eventuaully one of her arms.

As you can see she still lept her right arm up near her head the whole time!! But we were finally able to see her beautiful face!!! She is definitely stubborn like her Daddy!!!

Here she is either yawning or very upset that we won't leave her alone!!

Here it almost looks like she is smiling!!! Pretty girl!!

In then next couple of weeks I plan on getting her room completely done and putting up those pictures!!

I'm Back!!!

So sorry it has taken me so long to post! Things have been crazy busy at work and trying to get everything ready for Gracie!! Things are coming along! We (actually I should say Fred aka "Pappy)" came down and painted Gracie's accent wall in the nursery. It looks great! And to everyone surprise, we painted it a light pale pink!! I know, it's hard to believe that there is so much pink going on with this child, we know how much I love it!! HAHAHA!! We also changed her bedding from what I originally decided. Instead of nuetral polka dots, it is pink, brown, and green!! I will definitely post pictures when her room is finished! Now that we have painted hopefully Allen will be putting her crib and changing table together!!!!

I promise I will try to post another blog a lot sooner than this last time!

I'm also posting more belly pictures! Unfortunately with things as crazy as they have been, I missed a couple of weeks but I hope you enjoy what I have been taking! I'm definitely getting bigger and bigger!!! :)

And here is this weeks survey!!

Pregnancy: 24 weeks 6 month mark, can you believe it?

Weight Gain: Well I haven't been weighing lately, but I'm guessing that I have gained about 13-14 lbs. I will find out exactly how much I have gained next Friday at my doctor's appt.

Sleep: I have been sleeping very well until this last week. My hips have started hurting so I have had to sleep with a pillow between my knees and that has seemed to help. I'm still tossing and turning but with no pain at least.

Gender: We actually had to go back and have another ultrasound because she was moving to much the first time and they didn't get all the measurements that they needed, so Allen was finally able to go with me and got to see her. And yes.....it's still a girl!!!

Name: Gracie is a definite, but still no middle name!

Feeling: Really good still!

Health: Still on track where I am supposed to be, so the doctor tells me!

Movement: As we already knew from my ultrasounds, she moves a lot! I feel her move all the time! Allen got to feel her move too!! I was so happy that he was the first to feel her move!! He was very excited too! His eyes lit up when he felt her!

Belly: Definitely obvious now!!

What I am looking forward to: Still excited about the unknown and all that is still to come!

What I miss: My normal clothes and figure! HAHAHA!! But I keep telling myself that it will all be worth it!!

A few weeks past!!

Sorry, I know I haven't posted anything in a while. We have been pretty busy and went on vacation up to Washington State where we were able to visit with some of Allen's side of the family. We had an amazing time!!!

Unfortunately we weren't able to take a belly picture at 14 weeks beacause Allen was working in Savannah. But below you will find belly pictures at weeks 15, 16, and 17!!




15 weeks








16 weeks






17 weeks






We also were able to find out the gender of the baby early, at 15 weeks!!!! Here is how we told everyone!!

And here is this weeks survey!!

Pregnancy: 17weeks

Weight Gain: Well so far I have now gained 7lbs. We found out yesterday that she weighs 7 ounces!!!

Sleep: Sleeping pretty good these days!!

Gender: So as you can see from the picture, we are having a little GIRL!! Needless to say I was very shocked but we are VERY EXCITED!!!!!

Name: We are not absolutely positive about the whole name yet, but Gracie "something" is what we are thinking. I have always loved Gracie Ann, but we are keeping an open mind to see if there happens to be something we like better!

Feeling: Really good still!

Health: Still on track where I am supposed to be, so the doctor tells me!

Movement: I haven't felt her move yet, but every time we have gone to the doctor she moves a lot. So I am not rushing to feel her because once I feel her move I'm afraid she won't stop moving till she comes out!!! :) When we went to my ultrasound appt. yesterday she was moving up a storm!! But it is so neat getting to see her and listen to her heartbeat!!

Belly: Definitely getting out there!!!I have now had people come up to me and ask if I am pregnant! So I think it is pretty obvious!

What I am looking forward to: Still excited about the unknown and all that is still to come!

What I miss: My normal clothes and figure! HAHAHA!! But I keep telling myself that it will all be worth it!!

Sleep: This week I have been sleeping much better but still tired a lot.

Name: We aren't thinking of names until we find out what it is! There is no point in stressing about it until we know what we are having!

Feeling: Tired and very Excited!!

Health: Still doing well as far as I know. Friday I had my 12 week appointment where the doctor was able to answer a lot of my questions. I had a lot more than I thought I was going to have!! We were able to hear the heart beat for the first time and it was AMAZING!! Just reassurance that there really is a baby in there and that everything is going like it should!!

This week coming up:

This weekend is Fourth of July and we have many options of what we want to do, but not quite sure what we are going to do yet. I'm sure it will be busy! I just really want to reloax and get some sun!!

Week 11

So here is a look at week 11:

Pregnancy: 11 weeks

Weight Gain: 2 lb. So far so good!!

Sleep: This week I have been sleeping much better but still tired a lot. Allen has been able to sleep in the bed but it is too funny because we have switched sides of the bed and I have been sleeping great!

Gender: Still not sure, and we won't find out until July!

Name: We aren't thinking of names until we find out what it is! There is no point in stressing about it until we know what we are having!

Feeling: Tired and very Excited!! This week the hormones have hit me emotionally. I'll be feeling just fine and then the next minute I'm in a bad mood! So I have been trying to adjust to the mood swings this week!! I have still been dealing with cramps and they are no fun!

Health: Still doing well as far as I know. My next appointment (12 weeks) is next Friday, June 25th.

Movement: No movement yet, I wish I could feel it but I still have a few weeks till I will be able to.

Belly: This past week I feel like I am showing even more. I know it is part of it and I'm supposed to but I just didn't think it would be this soon! Oh well, not much I can do about it, but deal with it!! I guess it was bound to happen sooner than later!

What I am looking forward to: At this point....just about everything! I really am excited to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time on June 25 and I the further along I get the more excited I get about finding out the gender!!

What I miss: Feeling normal! And now... fitting into my clothes comfortably!

This week coming up:
-Father's Day is Sunday so we will be spending time with Fred for lunch and Darryl for supper!
-Friday is my 12 week appointment which I am really excited about! Moma is going with me and we are going to get to hear the heartbeat for the first time!!
-We have a wedding tonight and another next Saturday so it has been interesting trying to find dresses to wear that I like.

Week 10

Sorry I wasn't able to post anything last week so I will give you a little update on what happened in week 10.
So the pants are definitely getting tighter! I'm to the point of not being able to button them.
I still haven't been sick, which I'm very thankful for, but I have started having cramps in my lower back in the afternoons and evenings, and I definitely wasn't expecting them!!
