26 weeks

Today I had another Dr. appointment and all is going well.  She was pleased that my blood pressure continues to be good, and I am measuring right at 26 weeks.  Sometime within the next week I have to go back and do the gluclose screening, so that will be interesting :).  The little boy was very active during my appointment and even to the point where his heartrate went up, so she continued checking and it went back down shortly after, which she said all that was normal.  So, I am a happy girl. 

Here are some pictures just for fun :). 

Weeks 23 & 24

have been pretty uneventful except the little boy is in full movement now . . . including EARLY morning . . . I'm not complaining though - I love to feel him move. 

 

23 weeks with my sister (at my niece's 5th birthday)

24 weeks

Moving

Had to post cause today is the first day that i've been feeling the little boy move most of the day!  It's so exciting!

6th Month

According to What to Expect When You're Expecting - I'm officially in my 6th month!  (very early in it, but still in it) :).  Time is flying by.  I'm feeling this little guy move a little more every week, so maybe by the end of this week Carl will be able to feel him too!  Speaking of Carl, he got home on Friday and we had a very busy weekend because we thought he was going to have to go back out on det soon, but learned today that as of right now (things can change in a

 moments notice) that has been cancelled :)!!  So, because we thought he was leaving again, we went and registered at Buy Buy Baby.  Holy Smokes - there was so much to see, and after 2 hours in the store contemplating different items, we got most of it done!  And then because i've been told that not many places have Buy Buy Baby, I registered online at Babies R Us (for a lot of the same/similar stuff) while Carl was on watch that night. 

   I'm thankful for friends and family who have small ones that are gracious enough to either let us borrow or have certain items/& clothes so we don't have to worry about much.  And as I told Carl, we will have all the essentials (or most of) by the time this little one comes, without all the "extras" that we registered for.  God has definately blessed us with the people who love us to encourage us, help provide for us, and pray for us.  Truly blessed!

22 weeks

Well, I'm 1/2 way through my 22nd week.  The best part about this week is that Carl comes home!  I had my Dr. appt today and the little boy is doing well.  Good heartbeat and they didn't seem to concerned that I'm not feeling him very much.  Hopefully soon, cause it would make me feel better :)  I'm feeling well . . . was able to mow the lawns this week, so that was good.  Ready for Friday to be here!!!

Nursery

I've been slowly getting the nursery ready for this little one.  The painting is done, except for the baseboards and Carl & I bought the crib.  I'm still not 100% on what decor we will use, but i am leaning toward sailboats . . . we'll see.  Here are some picts of what we've done so far.

20 weeks

1/2 way there!  Only another 20ish to go until we meet our little man.  Carl is away for a little while on a work-up, and so i'm hoping that i can get some more things accomplished while he's away.  I'm looking forward to the warmer weather this week so i can open up the house again and maybe work in the yards a little bit.  I'm feeling good, although a little hormonal.  Don't know if that's partially because Carl isn't here, or what.
