116 days to go...

Wow, so May 8th seems so far away, except when I think of it as only a little over 100 days. :0 The last few days I've been so exhausted. I'm worried maybe I'm getting a little bit of a cold, but I'm trying to take it easy. Hopefully it won't get worse. This horrible weather we've had is not helping I'm sure. On top of everything, work has also been super stressful. I said for 2010 my new year's resolution was to not sweat the small stuff. Or basically not stress over all these little things, that I have no control over. I feel like I spend so much time worrying about what could happen, and I just don't want to be that way. I want to enjoy every moment I can.
Last night I slept horrible. I woke up at about 4am and just could not go back to sleep. For some reason I started thinking about something Superdad did almost a year ago, that really upset me. Then I started feeling really angry with him. Weird I know. Once again I really want to let these things go. I want to live in the moment and be happy. Ugh, I think my emotions are just all over the place right now. Hopefully I can get a better nights sleep tonight. I also think I'm desperately in need of some girls time. I've not gone out, or done anything, with my friends since early November. It's definitely time for some girl talk!

22 weeks, 4 days!

Getting quite the little bump!

Little Man!

Here's the ultrasound photo from today. Everything looks great! I'm so happy. Monkey also did really well during the ultrasound. He pointed at the screen and said "baby," but that was about the extent of his participation. That's pretty much what I figured. It's just amazing how much we can see now. Just for a fun comparison- here was one of Monkey's ultrasounds from about 18 weeks.
I think they look a lot alike! :)

Ultrasound Monday

I have my official 20 week ultrasound on Monday. I'm pretty excited to see little man again. This time Superdad and Monkey will be coming too. Although Monkey may be unaware of what's happening, I'm really wanting to take him and see how he acts. Hopefully little man is still a little man, and they were not wrong at the last u/s. And more importantly he is healthy and everything looks good.

Half-way there! 20 weeks!

I really can't believe I've finally made it to the 1/2 way point. Although, May still seems SO far away. I don't know why, but it just does. However, I am sure that the next few months will fly by. We've got Christmas and New Year's approaching so quickly. Then, it'll be my birthday, the big 26! After that Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day, two holidays I really enjoy. Then we'll have MONKEY'S 2ND BIRTHDAY! I cannot believe he'll be 2 already. The party planning will definitely occupy my time. Plus I really have not done anything to prepare for this little guy. I figure around March I need to start pulling out clothes, bottles, etc. to get them ready for this little man. Then we also will celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary at the end of April. Gosh, looking at all I have to do, it really doesn't seem all that far off...

Here's my 19 week, 6 day belly bump. Also, I've been feeling lots more movement from my little man!

18 weeks!

I cannot believe I'm already 18 weeks along. This pregnancy seems to be flying by now. Although I'm still getting a little sick on some mornings, it's not too bad. I'm still exhausted all the time though. Monkey is starting to kiss my belly and say baby when pointing at my belly. It's so darn cute! I have my next appointment set for the 21st. We will be doing the big 20 week ultrasound then. I can't wait to see this little boy again. Superdad is also coming, and I want to bring Monkey. I don't know if he'll really have any clue what's going on, but I still feel like he should be there. I'm feeling more and more movement from this little guy. I can't wait until Superdad and Monkey can feel it too. As far as a name for this little guy... we are still completely undecided. I really like Weston, but Superdad is completely against it. He loves Luke, but I'm completely against that. He is getting me to sway more towards Austin, but I don't know. I feel this little guy isn't going to have a name for awhile...

It's a BOY!

We just found out little bean is a little boy! I had my 16 week appointment today and was not expecting an ultrasound. However, this little bean was not cooperating. Both the nurse and doctor were unable to get the heartbeat on the doppler, again. I was a little worried, but had been feeling movement, so I tried not to worry too much. I waited and they got me in for an ultrasound. The tech got the heartbeat (I love hearing it!) and said everything looked great. Then she asked me if I wanted to know the sex??? Unfortunately Superdad wasn't with me! I decided to just ask her if she would put it in an envelope so we could open it together. So, that's what she did. I closed my eyes while she printed out the "gender" shot. She then sealed it in an envelope. I waited until Superdad got home from work tonight and we opened it together. I'm so happy! I really wanted a little brother for Monkey!!!

16 weeks! Woo-hoo!

I cannot believe I'm already 16 weeks. It's been such a long road, but I feel like I'm finally getting into the "fun" part of pregnancy. I still am nauseous in the mornings, but that's a big improvement. I'm also starting to show, and just a couple days ago I felt the baby moving. I thought I felt something a week ago, but this was definitely a few good hard kicks. I'm getting so excited now. I really cannot wait to find out the gender of this little bean! Monday I have my 16 week appointment, and hopefully will schedule the date of my BIG ultrasound!

Bump- 14 weeks, 4 days

I finally got around to taking a belly pic! I'm surprised at how much I'm really showing. I really just feel FAT! But, I guess I'm starting to get a little bump. :) Today is a good day, I'm actually not feeling nauseous. I hope it keeps up. I was feeling pretty nauseous last night.

14 weeks!!! Woo-hoo!

I've finally reached 14 weeks, so I'm officially into my 2nd trimester. It's been a long road, but I've started to feel better. I still got sick the last two mornings, but at least I'm not nauseous for the majority of my days. I've spread the news at work, and can't wait until I really start showing. I think my belly is kind of starting to stick out, but I really just look fat. I weighed myself this morning, and I'm actually down 7lbs. from when I first got my BFP! Which is good, because I'm really trying to not gain too much. Every pound is just more I have to get rid of after this baby is here! I need to update with a belly pic today, since I have not taken once in weeks! I'll try to get that up today. I finally feel like I'm getting a little energy, during the day at at least. I'm still exhausted at night, and have a very hard time staying up past 9. But, I'm really starting to get excited. Hopefully it won't be long until we find out the sex!
