bump update..warning! parental advisory suggested

So here I am almost 22 weeks and feeling like I'm going to pop! AND I have heartburn. How on earth am I going to make it to 40 weeks!! My mom insisted on seeing a picture of my belly without the shirt covering, I must be nuts, I look like a cow. Im getting pretty "bootylicious" too. If I get any comments about how big I am I will come to your house and I will cut you! Sorry, little Family Guy humor there. But seriously, no jokes ok? I'm in a fragile state. :0)



(the light is reflecting off my stomach in this one its not a weird patch of discolored skin. Note the the look of unenthusiasm as well?)

20 week appointment

had our 20 week appointment today and it went well for the most part. She didn't want to cooperate. She was in the breach position(bum down) and had the cord between her legs! what a stink! So we went for the "not so pleasant" ultrasound this time to get a better look. She did move around a bit so we could get a peek at her privates and it is 100% a girl!She moves so much these days. At night I will lay down and watch my stomach move around, its a trip. Oh, and I haven't gain a single pound since my 16 week appointment,whew!! I have gained a total of 9 pounds so far and didn't realize it so this time Jordan and I were betting I had gained about 5 since our last appointment.Man was I excited about that! I am right on track where weight gain is concerned. We have our targeted ultrasound on November 3rd. They will look at the baby in more detail to see if everything is working properly, ect. This one will be in 3D so she will look more realistic. Can't wait! This has been so much fun!


(almost 21 weeks)





here are some fun facts to know at 20 weeks: Your baby has grown as big as a banana. (Length: about 6 1/2 inches from head to bottom, and 10 inches from head to heel.)She's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for her digestive system. She's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in her bowels, and you'll see it in her first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

baby's crib

I do know how to put a crib together!!!! I thought for sure I couldn't do this and just wanted to pawn this off on Jordan but he has been doing so much remodeling I decided I better try this one on my own. It took me about two hours but its complete and hopefully safe!
