nursery progress and 24 weeks

so here we are at 24 weeks (almost!) i feel like we are growing EVERYDAY!

i have a dr. appt. this morning. i don't think it's any big appt.-just the routine...pee in a cup, blood pressure check and my LEAST favorite part-weight.

next month is the FUN glucose test. NOT looking forward to that! oh well!

we go back to the specialist in a few weeks-and i can't wait to see baby j again!

so, i've been asked a BILLION times, "what color are you doing the nursery? yellow? green?" nope! BLUE!

i LOVE blue and i don't think it's gonna change baby j if he/she is a GIRL and sleeps in a blue room! so yes, it's blue! i thought i'd post progress pics for ya'll to see!

my amazing and talented mother in law is making the bedding for us! i know it will be perfect and can't wait to see it and post for ya'll!

i LOVE the crib!! :)

feeling big at 23 weeks

so i'm really starting to feel big! :( here we are at a little over 23 weeks. granted the shirt i'm wearing isn't maternity :) so that makes me feel a little better! i know all the weight gain will be worth it in the end!

besides starting to feel huge-we are doing good! still walking as much as possible in this nc heat will allow. still LOVING watermelon...just thinking about it makes me want some. my heartburn has been getting worse but that's to be expected! 3rd trimester is just around the corner!! where has the time gone???

we are working this weekend on getting the nursery ready! yay! so, HOPEFULLY in the next post there won't be all that crap in the background. HOPEFULLY!

pics of our sweet baby

we had our third ultrasound thursday at a specialist. when we went for our 20 week ultrasound they saw a white calcium spot on the baby's heart and wanted to check it out. so, we got to see sweet baby j AGAIN! it was an amazing experience! i love seeing this little one! we have another us appt. in a few weeks b/c baby j us stubborn(imagine that) and wouldn't roll over so they could get some good pics....not sure where he/she gets it from :)

enjoy these sweet baby pics...i'm obsessed with them and CAN NOT stop looking at them!

22 weeks and growing!

i can not believe that i am over half way through my pregnancy! where has the time gone? i'm still feeling pretty good-most days :) we are growing bigger and bigger everyday. i've been having really bad heartburn the past couple of nights and have been having alittle trouble sleeping (mainly b/c i have to get up and go to the bathroom a lot!).

i've been craving watermelon all.the.time! i love it and can't get enough of it! i don't know if it's the heat or what (it's sooo hot here and only june). i'm seriously eating a whole one every few days. i'm out of control!

2 weeks ago we had our 20 week ultrasound. it was amazing to see sweet baby j! i'll post more about that on the next post and show the pics. he/she is so sweet and i'm already in love.

this child moves and kicks ALL THE TIME! especially after i eat. i think feeling your baby move is the most amazing God thing i've ever experienced in my life. it's so amazing to know that there's another life growing inside of me. i can't wait to meet this sweet little one.

i'm trying to keep that in mind as i look in the mirror or try and fit into clothes! it's so hard for me to see the weight creep back on. i worked my butt off (literally) to lose 30 lbs. before we got preggers and it's really hard to see it coming back-faster than i have wanted it to. i'm doing everything i can to eat healthy and exercise but it doesn't' seem like enough!! am i perfect???...no way! but i really try my best. oh well. i guess that's all that i can do. i know i can get it off once baby j is here and it's def. all worth it!

here we are at 22 weeks! we finally cleared out the room so we can start working on the nursery! i'll def. post pics of it along the way! ahhh!!

we have a nephew!

jes and i are so excited that our nephew is here!

james avery newsom was born on may 31,2011. he weighted 7 lbs 11 oz and was 21 inches long. mom and baby (and dad) are all doing great! we can not wait to see him and snuggle with him! i know him and baby j will be best friends!

couldn't you just eat him up? oh my goodness! i'm ready for baby j!

sorry for the lack in posting and not updating my bump pics :(
