Mommy & Daddy

[6-26-2010]

We love you Justin!! Mom & Dad can't wait to see you!

Holy Charlie Horse!

Never had I felt such pain!!  I wake up a few times a night, to get comfy.  This particular night I stretch my legs and oh my goodness, pain pain pain on my right calf.  Wow another pregnancy perk!

Baby Book

Just bought this baby book! It has every question he will need to know possible - lol.

Pain In My ... Ribs

He's definitely growing.  Everyone asks me if he's kicked me in my ribs yet, but he hasn't.  I do however feel him moving up towards them.  It's an uncomfortable feeling that I usually feel when I'm sitting. I feel him on my right rib, it's always the right one.  It doesn't hurt - because he hasn't kicked it, it's more as if he's leaning against it.  When this happens, I have to stand up or sit up straight, so I can give him more room in there.  I really wish I could see inside so I can see what he's up to.

Hello 3rd Trimester !

As previously posted...I am 28 weeks today or 7 months :) That means that I am officially into my 3rd and last trimester.  12 more weeks to go!! Justin, I will see you in a few weeks!! Can't wait to hold you in my arms and see what you look like finally!

Party In My Belly

I am excited to show you what I get to see every day. I have noticed that his kicks and movements are starting to get stronger and stronger these past few days. I'm surprised I got this on video, usually he stops as soon as I press 'record'. Sorry for the bad quality ...

but if you watch you can see Justin squirming and moving around in my belly. The video doesn't do what I saw justice, but take a look, you will be able to see some of his movements. This was last night at 3 a.m. - He already doesn't let me sleep!

7 MONTHS !!

I remember being 10 weeks, and scared to death that something would go wrong, like it did the first time I got pregnant.  I had a big scare early on when I went to the hospital. I woke up after Chris left for work at 7 a.m. I got up from bed and a gush of blood came down.  I drove myself to the hospital - crying -and was sure that something had gone wrong.  I had Chris' mom with me and I was so scared.  Thankfully, nothing was wrong and all they told me to do was rest up.  At my follow up check up the doctor had told me that my baby had a 50-50 chance of making it.  I never really felt I was out in the clear.

I thank God that I have made it this far and hopefully my little guy cooks up real well and doesn't come out until he's due in September.  I am truly happy that I have had a good pregnancy so far.  And I am thankful every day for this.

Nesting Stage

Maybe this is what they call the nesting stage, but I am officially on clean up mode.  I have rearranged my bed, thrown out unnecessary junk. My closet is organized, and so are my drawers. I have bought teeny tiny baby hangers and have hung little Justin's clothes.  His others things are organized neatly in the closet shelf.

My registry is made up.  I picked out my crib and bedding, and everything else imaginable that I would need when September comes.  Now all I have to wait is for my shower to see how many things I am able to get, so I can go ahead and buy the things not bought by my family and friends.  My shower is on August 7th and for some reason, that day seems like forever! I just have an itch to have certain things already.

I'm just feeling a bit unprepared.

Heat Flashes!

Oh man! I feel for every woman going through menopause. I am normally always cold. I don't need the air conditioner unless it's really hot outside. I always sleep with a blanket, no matter how warm it is in my room. Chris and I never agree on a room temperature - while he is turning down the temperature to 62 degrees, I am waiting for him to turn his back to change it to a higher temperature. I am usually the one sleeping in sweats all year long. Not anymore! Our roles have changed. A few times now HE is the one saying he's cold, while I'm sweating up a storm. I can be home watching television and all of a sudden I feel this heat rise upon me. I no longer sleep in sweats, it's down to just a bra and underwear for me now.

Dancing Baby

There's a lot going on now a days. I'm 27 weeks along and I walk as slow as a turtle. I get very uncomfortable - quick. I'm still emotional ( but I admit - it has gotten way better ). Clothes are getting too tight.

But I have to say that the best part of pregnancy is feeling and watching him move. Staring at my belly and seeing him actually moving, and pop up on one side then the other is truly the most amazing part of pregnancy for me. I'm so bummed I'm by myself right now because this is mind blowing.

I love you little guy. Keep moving, but don't poke me too hard =)

Happy Fathers Day :)

Yes, I know he's technically not a dad yet, but...he kind of is.  Only because he already loves Justin and is sacrificing for him.

Happy Fathers Day to a soon to be dad. Justin is already a lucky baby to be having a daddy like you. I know your going to be the BEST! Can't wait until we get to hold our little guy.

Belly Pics

26 weeks  2 days :) This makes me 6 1/2 months 

Future Justin?

Isn't he the cutest little thing?! I love that smile. If this is any indication of what our little Justin is going to look like - I'm a happy camper :)

A Day at the Beach 6/4/2010

Tanning isn't as easy as it once was.

*It was super hot this day. The sand was burning my feet*

Momma's still got it Justin ;)

25 Week Appointment

Did the usual at my doctors' appointment. I pee'd in a cup, they took my blood pressure, they weighed me (I'm up to 128 lbs.) and of course I heard my baby's heart beat. Which is my favorite part.
