20 weeks!

Halfway to having a baby!!! Tomorrow is the big ultrasound and I couldn't be more excited and more nervous. I'm so ready to get a look at this little one and hopefully find out if its a little boy or little girl in there. :) Below is a picture I took really quickly in our hotel room on a school field trip, the baby has really popped out lately and has been moving around like crazy- I am so excited for the day that Dustin can feel this little one moving, so far every time I say Give me your hand, he or she stops with the big movements that he can feel. Total bummer but I know the day is coming that we will be able to pick out which body part is poking out. :) So without further adew (is that how you spell it?) Here's the belly at 20 weeks:

What a difference a few days makes...

It's amazing to me how quickly I have start to have a bump. Just last night Dustin looked at me and commented about how I've "grown." In fact at work yesterday at least 2 of my co-workers said I'm really starting to show now. How does that happen so fast? I mean how do you go from looking pregnant in certain clothes to looking pregnant all the time in a matter of 4 days??? The picture in my last post was take Friday, May 29, the picture below was taking 4 days later, 4 days later people!! Some of you will probably tease me that I'm not THAT big but to someone who has never had a belly like this before it feels HUGE already! And I have 21 more weeks of growing to do! Please don't laugh if the bump really hasn't changed too much... it's my first pregnancy and everything is new and a little growth feels like A LOT. :)

Here I am at almost 19 weeks. 18 weeks, 5 days to be exact :)

Little bump

Well all it's happened... I have a baby bump! It looks bigger in certain clothes (the kind that don't keep it tucked in at all) and small in others... this pink dress seemed to bring out the roundness of my tummy. ha ha! So anyway... for your viewing pleasure (if that's what you want to call it) I give you me and the bump.

No, that's not my bathroom. I took this picture at work in the bathroom- glad no one saw me walk in their with a camera ha ha!

The little gremlin (as Dustin called him or her the other day) seems to be growing since I can now feel little popcorn pops and flutters at least once or twice a day. It seemed so wierd at first but now I'm really enjoying the randomness of movement that isn't caused by gas! :) Now we're just counting down the days until our ultrasound-- exactly 2 weeks from today!! Yahoo!

Below is a picture from Easter time of Kyleigh putting "lipstick" on her Daddy. I just LOVE this picture and had to share it with you. :) Her arm around his neck holding him in place totally cracks me up.

17 weeks

Had another Dr. appointment on Friday- everything checked out great. I actually lost 3 pounds but the baby is growing and right on schedule so no cause for alarm. :) The baby's heartrate is between 140 and 150 beats per minutes... the little stinker kept moving away from the doppler so my Dr gave a range instead of an exact number. Hopefully he or she cooperates on June 16th so we can find out what we are having... keep your fingers crossed! :)

Speaking of which... starting to collect everyone's guess...what do you think we're having? Are we gonna get some blue in our lives or more pink? :)

Anne Marie and Me!

One of my very best friends from Whitworth, Anne Marie and I got together for the first time since graduation! We had so much fun getting pedicures and going out to lunch-- I think we could have talked for HOURS!!! Below is a picture of us! I just LOVE her eyes!

6 weeks

Here was me at 6 weeks, I pretty much look the same at almost 15 weeks so not gonna post another picture until there is more to see. :) Just needed to get the skinny belly on record... hopefully we'll see it again after this baby comes. ( Do you like my Octopus bathmat??)

Below is the first test I took purely on a whim... did not think I was pregnant at all... just didn't want to pack the test to move....

The next three tests I took to make sure the first test was right... I think it was... ha ha! I didn't take pictures of the next 3 I took just to be sure... pretty sure I took 7 tests total!

Looking back now, why did I waste the money on the extra tests? Each of them even say (and so does the baby books) that getting a false positive is very rare. Oh well :) Dustin called our bathroom the pregnancy test graveyard because they were all lined up on the washing machine for several days! ha ha!

Did you see the ticker?

If you haven't noticed there is a new ticker on the right hand side of the blog... yup... that's right... we're having a baby! We're both very excited although, I was quite shocked when we first found out! SO here's what I know so far....

Due October 30, 2009
Heartbeat was 160 beats per minute at last apt.
Yes, we will find out what we are having-should find out what we're having in June-- if anyone say's A BABY I might scream ha ha. I think it's a boy, Dustin's parents are pretty sure it's a girl, Rhea wants a girl, Leah thinks its a boy.... so anyone else care to guess??

I promise to keep you all updated on the happenings of this pregnancy. No baby bump yet but my jeans are so uncomfortable by the end of the day that I am miserable so I'm already in maternity pants... don't laugh! I got some really cute jeans and capris from Old Navy that don't look like maternity pants unless you notice the elastic band.

Dustin has been so awesome and supportive, we both heard the heartbeat at the last appointment and he got a big grin on his face when he heard it. He's taken great care of me when I don't feel good--- which has been the last 8 weeks. Thankfully I'm finally starting to feel better, just exhausted!

Well that's all the update I have for now. :)
