Pregnancy Lately

{Pregnancy Reality Check}
I have been loving the library lately. I have checked out a few pregnancy reads and can I just tell you I am starting to get anxiety. For starters baby will be here in 3 months! Plus these books are so graphic and intense I don't know how this baby is going to get out. Honestly I wish I could just wish the baby out and poof. . . he will be here. Labor is something I am going to have to settle with. It would not be so bad if they didn't put lovely pictures to show what I will be going through. I know it is all worth it, of course the end result {meaning a handsome baby boy} is worth every bit of sweat, pain and tears. But seriously it is a good thing you get pregnant in the heat of the moment and have 9 months to prepare.

{ Baby T's Nursery}

We are so excited to get the nursery put together. I have the vision in my head, we just need to get everything now and put it all together. Here is a sneak peak of what is to come. . .

{26 Weeks}

How Far Along? 26 Weeks

Maternity Clothes? Still mostly wearing regular comfy clothes, with a few maternity pieces.

Sleep: I am starting to get uncomfortable and seriously I get up at least 4 times each night to pee. Sleep is not so great lately. I take at least one nap during the day.

Best  moment this week: Feeling the baby more and more. Also we have been having great weather lately. Also going to the doctors last week and finding out Baby T is healthy and growing right on schedule.

Symptoms: My damn nose is still super stuffy. I try everything but I still can't breath. 
Miss Anything? I miss working out. Next pregnancy I am going to be in good shape in the beginning so I can work out the whole pregnancy

Movement: Baby has turned into an acrobatic ninja! He moves all of the time, especially in the middle of the night and seriously on the dot every morning at 6 am for a good 20 min. I love that Aaron can feel him now too. It makes me laugh when I see my belly moving out of the corner of my eye. I love it!

Food cravings: I am trying to not eat as many sweets but I have not really been craving anything except cold water lately. I can't get enough of it.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I can't eat chicken and I hate the smell of eggs. 

Gender: BOY

Labor Signs: none

Belly Button in or out? In, but does not look the same at all.

Wedding ring on or off? Always on

Happy or Moody most of the time:  I have been super moody all of the time lately. I blame all of the testosterone running through my body. I am happy though I love being pregnant. 

Looking forward to: Maternity pictures in a few weeks. Also can't wait to get the nursery going, I have a lot of sewing to do. 

{Happy Tuesday Everyone}

Belly Pics and an Update

 My word February flew on by. I seriously can't believe it is almost the middle of March. Baby will be here in 3 1/2 months!!! Craziness!
I am about a month late but Aaron and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary on February 10th. Geeze that one year went by so fast. There is no way I thought I would be 20 weeks pregnant on our 1 year anniversary. Funny how plans change. We have experienced and learned so much together and about each other. We also have adapted to each other this last year. No matter how well you know someone there is always plenty more when you live together.
I am so happy we have been able to experience a year of  adventures. We have enjoyed every holiday, season, birthday and everything in between just the two of us and it has been so wonderful but I am excited to have it start to be the 3 of us.

We had a fabulous anniversary! Roses, sushi, shopping and cake, it was great.

It does not get better than one year old cake

Chocolate cake with raspberrie mouse filling. It was divine!

24 Weeks

How Far Along? 24 Weeks

Maternity Clothes? Some, mostly wearing comfortable clothes.  My works out clothes have taken on a new role as lounging clothes. I do love maternity pants though and have bought a way cute maternity dress.

Sleep: Depends on the night, some nights I sleep horribly because I either can’t breathe because my nose is so stuffy or I can’t get comfortable or I have to pee every hour. I am very grateful for those good nights when I only have to get up once to pee.

Best  moment this week: Starting to notice baby moving more and more. I am realizing what is baby and what is me.

Symptoms: Crazy stuffy nose! I hate it, Aaron hates it and I am pretty sure Burrows hates it. I can’t breathe! I still get headaches every day. Also I pee all of the time! No Joke!
Miss Anything? I miss tanning, can’t wait for summer to get some natural rays. Also I miss being able to sit and watch a movie all the way through without having to go to the bathroom at least once.

Movement: Yes! I am noticing what his movements are.  I swear it almost tickles sometimes.

Food cravings: I am loving CANDY! Especially Cherry Laffy Taffys, also vanilla shakes are pretty amazing.

Anything making  you queasy or sick: Still hate, hate, HATE the smell of chicken. Thank heavens Aaron doesn’t cook it anymore.

Gender: Handsome Baby Boy

Labor Signs: none

Belly Button in or out? In, but it is starting to take a different shape.

Wedding ring on or off? Always on

Happy or Moody most of the time:  I am happy! But I also can be super moody and super emotional. Any sad story I hear about anything, especially animals it seems I am in tears. Even songs sung on American Idol will do it.

Looking forward to: This weekend, weather should be around 65. Also we have a doctor’s apt. on Tuesday and I am very excited to check up on baby and hear his strong heartbeat. 

This is how baby bump is looking from above. It is getting big. I love it!

Also I can't forget about our furry child. . .

In 3 days we will of had this little lion a year. He is the sweetest little kitty, don't know what we would do with out him. For a cat he makes our lives entertaining.  I am anxious to see how he responds to little Baby Turner's arrival. He really doesn't have a choice! :)
