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! :)

20 Weeks

I have made it!! I am half way there. I can now start counting down. So excited, even though June 25th still sounds like forever away I can at least start counting down!

How Far Along? 20 Weeks

Maternity Clothes? Yes, I love maternity pants! Still wearing normal shirts and a lot of comfy clothes

Sleep: Has been really good this week. I still wake up to pee at least twice but I fall right back into a deep sleep. I can also take a nap at least once a day.

Best moment this week: Sleeping a lot better and just having a good weekend with Aaron.

Miss Anything? Nope not really I have gotten used to life "with child" :)

Symptoms: I get a major headache every night it seems like and other than peeing all of the time I am pretty much the same. Oh and I still do get nauseous every once in a while. 

Movement: Not sure? I swear I have felt  little bubbles hear and there but still am kind of not sure. So ready to start feeling baby a lot more. I want to feel some little kicks already!

Weekend

I feel like we had our fair share of life this weekend. We had the very extremes, we were so lucky to spend time with Aaron's grandpa on his birthday and so blessed to witness Baby Beckham's first couple days of his life.
Aaron's grandpa celebrated his 77th birthday on Saturday. It was truly so good to see him, I know Aaron was so happy to see him. Unfortunately he is in a rest home because he has the terrible disease of  Alzheimer's. We have not seen him for a while and this was our first time visiting him at the rest home. We were a little nervous at first but  just because we did not know what to expect. We had no reason to be, he did not say much but you could tell that he was so happy to have all of his family around him, which was so good to see. He was smiling and just enjoying everyone being there with him. It was good to see him and it was good for Aaron to see him and to spend some time with him.
Baby Beckham
It is crazy to think that Aaron's grandpa has experienced most of his life and has learned so much and has created a family all they way down to great grandchildren and then there is sweet Baby Beckham who has his whole life ahead of him and so much to learn and so much to experience. 
He is so sweet, it is so precious snuggling him. we only live like 5 min away from the hospital so you can bet we were there everyday snuggling and loving him.
His arrival defiantly got us so, so, so excited for our little one to get here. It also got us a little tiny bit nervous as well. :) You don't remember how tiny newborns are until you hold one.

He really is so sweet and precious. He opened his big baby eyes for us. MMMM newborns are so delicious. Seriously I can't believe we have to wait until June for ours to arrive.

Congrats Ryan and Carlee, he is a little stud.

Change

Well hello and I am back. I swear being pregnant makes me blogger incapable or something. I defiantly need to get back on track. So much has happened along with this new year. I just have to say 2012 is going to be a  fabulous year! It will be very life changing. I thought getting married was big but having this baby is huge and there is no going back! But I would never ever want to! All this big change is wonderful. We are so so very excited to become parents!!
We had the excitement of moving the first week in January. Moving is not the most fun thing to do, but we did it. I couldn't lift much but it was fun setting up the new apartment and finally having a 2nd room to start envisioning the nursery. Oh I can't wait.
Another change was with Burrows. He finally got groomed and we decided to give him a "lion cut". I don't know what took us so long to cut his fur. I love that there is no more cat hair every where! Oh and it makes me feel so much better with the baby coming that we wont have to worry about cat hair getting on bottles and binkies. That totally grosses me out but thank goodness we don't have to worry about it.
One of the best parts of the hair cut is it is so adorably humerus:

My favorite part is his little tail.

He is our little lion

Baby Turner
We also found out the BEST news this week. We finally found out the gender of Baby Turner! We are so thrilled to announce that Baby Tuner is going to be a handsome baby BOY!! We are so in love with him already.

It was kind of hard to miss :)

We are so excited! He is so spoiled already we went out and bought him so much clothes. He is going to be a little stud I am so in love with his clothes. I can't wait to dress him. Buying baby stuff is so addicting it is more addicting than buying clothes for me.

Here is a preview of the start of Baby T's wardrobe

All the clothes are from H &M. Pretty sure we bought one of everything there and the cute sailor shoes are from Nordstrom. I love Sperry Top-Siders, they are to die for.

17 Weeks

I almost half way there and finally starting to look pregnant.

{Don't mind the messy bathroom}

How Far Along? 17 weeks                

Maternity Clothes? Still just wearing maternity pants, wearing normal clothes everywhere else. I love being comfortable. Sports bras are also my new best friend.

Sleep: Sleep is alright. I wake up at least twice to pee, but usually go right back to bed.

Best moment this week: When we found out Baby’s gender! Seeing baby on the ultrasound and finding out baby is nice and healthy.
Miss Anything? Not really, except tanning.

Movement: Not yet but should be any day now.

Food cravings: I love spicy foods, like peppers MMMM. I also love hard and chewy candy.  Also I can’t seem to get enough of ice cold water.

Anything making  you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular, if it doesn't sound good at the moment than yuck keep it away from me or I will start gagging. 

Have you started to show yet: I would say yes, especially after I eat a big meal.

Gender: Boy

Labor Signs:  No                  

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding ring on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Both I am not so moody as much but still do get moody. It is not that I am not happy because trust me I am. I am just mostly sensitive.

Looking forward to:  Feeling the baby move and I can’t wait to get all of the baby stuff I have started to order. Also starting on the nursery is going to be so much fun

And this is what kept me company tonight. . .  defiantly eating like a prego.

It was so good! 

Holiday Season

Well hello and yes, we are still alive!! Talk about slacking in the blogging world! Well I am back and there should be no more of that. Can I just say I can not believe Christmas is in 4 days! Where has the time gone 2011 is almost over. We have enjoyed our first holiday season married. So much fun!

Thanksgiving

Burrows is also getting into the holiday spirit. He loves his sweater.

 Nothing like the first Christmas married. It has such a different vibe than other Christmas'

It seems we will be needing to hang 3 stockings up for Christmas from now on. . . . 

 Surprise!! Baby Turner is on the way!
I am currently 13 weeks. Baby's due date is June 25th 2012
We are so excited!

 Pregnancy has been an adventure. At first I thought I was going to luck out and not get nauseous at all, but I spoke to soon. It has not been that bad, considering. Now being in my second trimester I am hoping it will die down.
Aaron has been so great. I haven't had to touch a dirty dish or the garbage since we found out. He is a trooper. He puts up with my wonderful mood swings. And yes there has been some. Lately I am super emotional and cry over about anything. He is sweet and handles it. He is a wonderful hubby. I don't know what I would do with out him.

How Far Along? 13 Weeks

Maternity Clothes? Finally bought some maternity pants and they are amazing. Way super cute. Love Forever 21 Maternity clothes. Also wearing leggings and yoga pants.

Sleep: Wake up at least 3 times a night still, even tried taking Benadryl and still wake up.

Best moment this week: Love getting ready for Christmas. So excited for our first Christmas married, it will be our first and last Christmas married without children. I also started showing a bit this week.

Miss Anything? I am missing Sushi, I crave it all of the time. Also I am having tanning withdrawals. I have not been this white for so long.

Movement: Not yet

Food cravings: I love ranch sunflower seeds, sour patch kids, bagels with cream cheese and tomatoes and mozzarella

Anything making you queasy or sick: I can’t eat any form of potatoes,{except salt and vinegar potato chips} I can’t  handle chicken or eggs. Yuck the smell about kills me.

Have you started to show yet: Finally yes, just a little bit. If you didn’t know I was pregnant you would just think I have had one to many donuts.

Gender prediction: 60% girl 40% boy. The suspense is killing us!

Labor Signs: No                   

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding ring on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody a lot more than happy, but getting happier more and more. Aaron is sweet and puts up with me.

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender and being able to finally buy baby stuff.

{Happy Halloween}

Halloween is the best! I love it. It is the like the kick off holiday to the holiday season. Halloween is so much fun, what is not love about a holiday based off candy!
We had a fun little Halloween/Birthday party with the Turner clan Saturday night. MMM soup and bread bowls, little smokies, Costco chocolate cake. It is always fun when the family gets together. The Smith Family were even able to come via Skype.
It doesn't get better than homemade root beer

I couldn't get a good picture of Burrows but he was the cutest little Halloween Skeleton

It seems there were a few Vampires roaming

 The cutest little giraffe
