26 WEEKS

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along:  26 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  4 pounds so far, but I will find out for sure Tuesday at my doctor’s appt.

Maternity Clothes:  LOVE them!

Best Moment this week:  being only double digits away from meeting Maddox!

Gender:  It’s a boy!  Maddox Wade!

Movement: yes, and it is amazing! I think he is doing flips  in there!  He is very active after I’ve been on my feet a while and then decide to sit down…he thinks it’s time to play then!   Wade loves to play music for him because my whole belly will start shaking from him “dancing”.  He loves George Strait and Rascal Flatts!    He now moves in response to me rubbing or tickling my belly, and it is so cute!

Food Craving:  pasta, fruit

What I miss: cold turkey sandwiches and sleeping on my stomach!

Sleep: Wish I could get more of it!   I am constantly waking up and catching myself sleeping on my back or going to potty!

What I am looking forward to:   my doctor’s appt on the 27th except the glucose test. :(

Belly Button:  it’s about to pop!

Symptoms: left hip pain which wakes me up about 3-4 times a night.  I must sleep with a pillow between my knees.

I will try to have Wade take a picture of me when he gets home from the library if it’s not too late.  I have to get better with these pictures so I can have something to put in his baby book!

25 WEEKS

I have been such a slacker.  I have no excuse for not blogging lately except just a bad case of the lazies!  I cannot seem to get motivated to do anything when I get home from work.  I am rarely cooking supper these days.  Wade doesn’t come home from the library until around midnight so I usually do not cook just for myself.  I have become really tight with the Subway staff and the Chinese take-out staff! Ha!  I have been really tired lately, and I think all this constant going is finally catching up with me.  I don’t even like going shopping anymore on the weekends if you can believe that!  I debated on whether or not posting a pic, but everyone has been asking, so here goes…

This is the crib we (well, my mom and dad) bought for Maddox, and I LOVE it!  I would not have picked it out for a girl, but it is perfect for a little boy!

My aunt got us this travel system.  Wade and I have been so blessed and have received so many wonderful gifts for Maddox.

Look What I Got In The Mail…

 

My diaper bag!  It is the Vera Bradley Java Blue Baby Bag, and I am in L.O.V.E!!!

 

Melts My Heart

Words cannot express how much I love Maddox.  When I think about how God has chosen me to be his mom, I just want to bawl my eyes out because I know I have been truly blessed!  I have enjoyed my last three doctor’s appointments because I have gotten to see him each time!  I love seeing how much he’s grown since the last visit.   Just thought I would post his cute profile pic!  =)

Doctor's Appointment

Today was my monthly doctor's appointment, and we got to see Maddox again!  We had another ultrasound today to make sure everything was okay with his heart because the radiologist did not get good enough pictures the first time.  My doctor confirmed everything looks good with Maddox, and he is right on track!  Weight wise, he is measuring 4 days ahead, and he already weighs a whopping 1 1/2 pounds!  He is such an active baby...he kicked, punched, somersaulted and danced for about 30 minutes last night!  We danced to I Pray for You last night, and it was so funny watching my stomach move!  I love getting to feel him every night, and I am so glad Wade has been feeling him kick for the past three weeks!  

It still took the radiologist about ten minutes to get the right views of his heart because he would not stop moving!  She kept saying, "baby, will you please be still for me?".   She finally got the pictures she needed, and I was so glad because the harder she pressed on my stomach, the harder he would kick me!  He is lying very low and right on my bladder...thus the reason for my 3-5 bathroom visits a night.  I am having round ligament pain and bought a snoogle a while ago, but stopped using it, but I think I am going to start using it again tonight.  I've been waking up just about every night with either cramps in my legs or sharp pains in my hips.  Oh well, I don't mind because I LOVE being pregnant! 

I have gained a whopping 4 pounds so far during my pregnancy!  I really thought I have gained about 10 pounds since my last visit, as my belly is the size of a basketball!  I will have to post some belly shots soon!   I have to do the glucose test on April 27 so please pray for me!   Hope everyone has a good week!

22 Weeks and Baby Liam

I know I say this each time, but I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy has gone by!  I cannot believe I am 22 weeks already!  I am feeling pretty good, except for some round ligament pain, and I am starting to get tired again.  It is probably because I have a basketball strapped to my belly! Ha!  I am looking forward to my monthly doctor’s visit on Tuesday.  We have another ultrasound to view his heart only, because the radiologist did not get good enough pictures in my doctor’s opinion.  She doesn’t think anything is wrong and his heart rate is always excellent, but she wants to get better views just to make sure.  Hopefully, Maddox will pose for the camera! :) 

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along:  22 weeks 2 days

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  will find out Tuesday at my doctor’s appointment

Maternity Clothes:  I love my pants, but I am also loving dresses and skirts right now!

Best Moment this week:  Feeling Maddox move A LOT!  I think he is doing flips or something in there!  He is very active after I’ve been on my feet a while and then decide to sit down…he thinks it’s time to play then!   Wade gets to feel him kick pretty much every night.

Gender:  It’s a boy!  Maddox Wade!

Movement: yes, and it is amazing!

Last Sunday, my cousin Kelleye, had her baby boy Liam.  We went to New Orleans to visit with them yesterday, but I was only able to get one picture because I held him pretty much the whole time. He was so precious and so tiny, and I can’t wait to hold Maddox in my arms! 

Baby Liam.  I just love him so much!  He has the prettiest blue eyes.

Jason, the proud daddy, and Liam

Diaper Bag

I have been searching for three weeks, ever since we found out we are having a boy, for a diaper bag.  It is really hard to find a boys' diaper bag!  There are so many cute bags for a little girl, but the only thing I could find for boys was mostly camouflage, trucks, tractors or boats, none of which I wanted.  I have been searching etsy, ebay and googling diaper bags what seems like every day.  Then, I came across the java blue collection at Vera Bradley and fell in love!  I ordered the java blue baby bag and can't wait to get it in the mail.  This is the description on their website:  Our latest Baby Bag has a total of 11 pockets inside and out, including a full zippered back, and holds everything from bottles to extra clothes. We've added a special clip for disappearing pacifiers and lined the interior for easy cleaning. Also includes a 26" x 14" terry-covered changing pad with coordinating trim.  And for $97.00 which includes a changing pad, you can't beat that!

This is not the color I got, but I do love the fabric.  This is the Sittin' in a Tree bag.  So cute!  For some reason the java blue picture did not save right, so I will just have to show you this one. 

21 Weeks, Registry and Birthday

Hope everyone had a great weekend!   We sure did, but it was a very busy one!  This past Friday was  my half day to work, so Wade picked me up to celebrate my birthday (the big 25!), and he said we could do whatever I wanted.  Boy, is he regretting he said that!  A lot of friends have been asking if I had registered yet, so I told Wade I wanted to go to Babies R Us and register, and he reluctantly agreed.   First of all, registering is not me…at all.   I hated to do our wedding registry, so I was not looking forward to registering again.  We walked in, and suddenly I became so excited!   Looking at all the little boy clothes that I would love to see Maddox in was just awesome!  We have been blessed immensely with the gifts we have received so far for our baby.  It seems even more real now that we have his stroller, crib and play yard already bought off our registry, and we can’t be more excited about his arrival!  

Friday night we went to the LSU/AR baseball game, and we got our butts kicked, but we still had a good time!  Saturday, we watched The Bounty Hunter with Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, and we were kinda disappointed.  I guess we had high expectations because of the previews, and I am a HUGE Gerard Butler fan, but this movie didn’t do it for me.  After the movie, we went to Longhorn Steakhouse for an early dinner.  We ordered the shrimp and lobster dip which was FABULOUS!  The appetizer was actually the best part of our meal!  Wade ordered the ribeye which was not seasoned well at all, and I ordered grilled chicken with a stuffed mushroom and loaded baked potato.  The chicken reminded me of a turkey breast with turkey gravy at Thanksgiving…way too much Sage in the gravy!  Not to mention, my potato was cold!  All in all, I had a great birthday, and I cannot wait to celebrate it next year because I will be a Mommy! :)

20 Weeks and Shopping!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!  Last weekend, I did not get to do my 19th week post because I went back home and stayed the weekend with my parents so my mom, sisters and myself could do a little shopping!   I cannot believe that I am 20 weeks…wow…the time has flown by, and I only hope the second half goes by just as fast if not faster!  I can’t wait to meet my little monkey!  I am starting to gain weight.  I think I’ve gained a few pounds since my appointment last week.   I guess this is because food actually tastes good now, and the sight of it doesn’t make me sick anymore!  Here are a few pics of what Maddox has in his closet so far!

Maddox’s Easter outfit for next year!  I couldn’t resist…each piece was 60% off!

   Beach outfit for $2.99!  Score!

 

  I love plaid shorts/pants!  I think they look so cute on little boys!  I think Wade has a pair just like these!

Wade bought this for Maddox right after we found out it was a boy!  Daddy has a golfing buddy now!

My sister, Casey and her husband, Jared, bought Maddox these cute baseball onesies!  Jared is the assistant coach for ULM baseball so I have a feeling Maddox will be getting a lot of baseball and ULM clothes!

OH BOY!

We had our ultrasound today, and can you believe I waited almost 45 minutes?  The anticipation was killing me!  We went to the exam room, and the tech started on the anatomy scan.  She asked if we had any names picked out, and we told her Addison for a girl and Maddox for a boy.  She started trying to get a glimpse of what was in between the legs, but couldn't for a while because the baby was playing with the cord.  It was so funny because the baby looked like he was swinging off a vine like George of the Jungle!  Ha!  Then, we saw the baby's hand swat the cord out of the way, and then we saw it...clear as day it is a BOY! 

Wade is so proud to be having a son, and he hasn't stopped smiling all day!  After our doctor's appointment, we went to Babies R Us, and Wade picked out the cutest little golf outfit- a pair of plaid shorts and a white polo shirt with a golf club on it!  As soon as we saw the profile of his face, we knew he didn't look like a "Maddox".  So back to the notepad to find a name for our lil Monkey (my new nickname for him).  Hopefully, we will have a name by Friday when we head back to our hometown because I am going shopping with my mom and sisters, and I will HAVE to buy something monogrammed! :)

Pink or Blue?

Tomorrow at 1:45 p.m. we will find out what our little angel is!  We are so excited, but I actually had to convince Wade we should find out the sex!  He wanted it to be a surprise, but I am a planner by nature, so this was totally out of the question!  Doesn't he know I have to get things monogrammed?!   I have to plan how I will decorate the nursery.  And did I mention I have to get things monogrammed?!!!  

After the ultrasound/anatomy scan, we have a doctor's appointment so we can discuss the scan to make sure everything is okay.  I can't wait to see my little peanut tomorrow!  I will post tomorrow night after we get home...dear hubby is taking me shopping after our appointment!  I can't wait to buy PINK or BLUE!!!

18 Weeks and a Sweet Tooth

It seems like these past few weeks I have been craving sweets!   I came across the new Hershey's Bliss in white chocolate last week in Wal-Mart, and they are just that...pure Bliss!  As soon as you put it in your mouth, the chocolate starts to melt all at once, and it is soooo good!  I can't describe how I feel when I eat this chocolate except I. Am. In. Heaven!  It really is the best white chocolate I have ever eaten!  At first I started to shy away from it, since it is about $4.00 for 8 1/2 ounces, but I am so glad I bought it!  I am also glad that Easter is around the corner because the candy aisle in Wal-Mart has become my best friend!  Snickers eggs, Reese eggs, Starburst jelly beans, you name it...I have eaten them all in the past few weeks!  

So, Wednesday is the big day when we find out what Baby H is, and we are curious to see what everyone thinks the baby is.  Most of my side with a few exceptions think it's a girl, and so do Wade and I.  I have always thought I would have all girls, and I just couldn't see myself with a boy.  However, I would love to have a boy first and then a girl so he can look after his little sister!

17 WEEKS 5 DAYS

I don’t know how the time has been getting away from me, but it seems just yesterday I was posting my 16th week, and I am now almost 18 weeks!  Originally, we were supposed to find out on March 9 what we were having, but due to some scheduling conflicts with a trial I have going on at work, I had to change my appointment and luckily, they could fit me in a week earlier!  We will find out next Wednesday, March 3 what we are having, and I am so excited I can barely sleep just thinking that next week I can start buying pink or blue!  My good friends, Drew and Mandy, just found out they are having twin girls, and I am so excited for them!  Maybe we’ll have a boy so that way one of the girls will have a prom date for sure! ;)  Wade tells me for our bank account’s sake, we need to have a boy! Ha! Here are a few pics that my dear husband took tonight.  I really don’t think I look this big, but I guess certain clothes make me look like I am 8 months pregnant!  I am anxious to see how much weight I’ve gained since 3 weeks ago, I still have yet to gain a pound!  Sorry for the tired and no make up look, but it was a rough day at work, and I am very very sleepy!

I will be back for my 18th week post in a few days! :)  

Crib Bedding

On March 9 we will find out what Baby House is, and I can’t wait!  I have been looking online at crib bedding and cribs, and these are a few of my favorites for a boy and girl. 

   Source

So far, this is the crib I plan on having my mom purchase for us.  Either in the black or the espresso (for the last boy bedding option) depending on the sex of the baby.

Source

This is my first choice for the girl bedding except I will add a 3” pink border to the bottom of the skirt.  Her name will be monogrammed in the white portion of the bumper.  It is very cute and playful.  I love it!

    Source

This is my second choice for the girl bedding.  I will have the name monogrammed in the pink portion of the bumper.  It is so chic, and I am just in love with it! 

  Source

Looks like I have too many choices for girl bedding!  I love how luxurious this fabric is and will go beautifully with the black crib I plan on getting.  I must say I have been looking at mostly girl items!  I have always dreamt of having a mini me to dress up and spoil rotten!  :)

This is my first choice for the boy bedding.  I couldn’t find a bigger picture.  It is black and white toile, stripes and gingham.  I just adore the pom fringe on the skirt!

   Source

I love how fun this bedding is!  The colors are perfect, and I just love it!  I would add a 3” chocolate brown border to the bottom of the skirt.  If I end up getting this bedding, I will order the espresso crib.

Happy Mardi Gras to all of my Louisiana friends!  Laissez les bon temps roulez!  I have enjoyed my day off work even though I had to go grocery shopping and do laundry! :)  I have to take my banana nut bread out of the oven before it burns!

Week 16

I think this past week has been my best week so far!  All of a sudden I had a burst of energy and began cooking and cleaning again!  Poor Wade had gotten used to eating sandwiches and fast food for supper! :)  My doctor's appointment went great.  I still have not gained a pound, but she said I may gain only 15 pounds the entire time!  She said every woman gains weight differently, and I am one of the lucky ones, and this should not affect the baby.  She did tell me to try and eat more which I don't have a problem with since I have my appetite back.  I have been cramping lately, so to be on the safe side, I had a cervical ultrasound which came back fine.  My doctor wanted to make sure I wasn't contracting or anything.  I tried to convince the ultrasound tech to take a peek and let us know the gender, but there were like 6 ladies ahead of me, and they were backed up.  I was a little upset but we will find out on March 9, and I cannot wait!  It will be so exciting to finally start calling the baby by his/her name and to start shopping!!!

Week 15 and feeling great!

Wow, I cannot believe I am fifteen weeks already!  It has been two weeks since I last posted due mainly to extreme exhaustion and nausea.  Last weekend I had a migraine that lasted for three days, and I don't think I have ever felt any worse!  I am always on the go, so to be lying on the couch for three days straight was a killer for me.  I had planned to go to New Orleans for my cousin's baby shower and go shopping so my weekend was ruined!  I was fine on Monday so I did go to work, and I have been feeling great ever since!   I am so glad to have my energy and appetite back, and I even think I may have gained a pound from all the ice cream and chips I've been eating!  This whole eating and holding down food thing is new to me, so I have not gained a pound since I have been pregnant.  I actually weight seven pounds less than before I was pregnant!  I can't wait to go to the doctor on Tuesday to see if I've gained any weight (is it bad that I want to gain weight?!)...I know if I haven't, I am going to be in trouble this time!

12 weeks

I went to the doctor this past Tuesday, and we finally got to hear the heartbeat!  It was the best sound I have ever heard.  It took the doctor a little while to find the heartbeat so I was kinda freaking out, but she finally found it and peanut was so hyper!  My doctor said he/she was dancing!  So cute!  The heartbeat was around 170...will it start to slow down and then reach it's steady rate or is this a sign it's going to be a girl?!  I really hope this will be my last week of "all day" sickness, but I am going to enjoy it because everything is going by so quickly!  I can't believe next Friday I will start my second trimester!

11 Weeks

Yep...you read it right! Wade and I are expecting!  We found out two days before Thanksgiving, and we had so much to be thankful for this past holiday season!  We are so excited and over the moon and cannot wait to become parents!  Besides our wedding day, that was the happiest day of our life!  I was a day late, which I have not been a day late in the past six months, and had been feeling a little dizzy the previous mornings.  Wade was busy with finals, so I did not want to bother him with any of this, so I took a test when I got home from work, and there it was...two pink lines!  The only thing I could do was stare at it, start crying, stare at it again, cry again.  It was the most amazing moment!  I was in shock and actually texted Wade a picture of the test with a message at the bottom saying "Hey, daddy!"  My phone does not take good pictures at all, so he called asking what the picture was, and I told him, and he was so excited!  He had been at the library studying all day, and I couldn't wait for him to get home and celebrate!   I wanted to wait until Christmas to tell everyone, but Wade could not wait.  We wrote a letter  to my parents and Wade's parents as if it were written from the baby.  We had everything planned out, and couldn't wait to go to Oak Grove the next day for Thanksgiving.   It was a great holiday and weekend that we spent with our family, and we cannot wait to welcome Baby House into this world!  I am due August 1 which is 2 days after the last day Wade takes the bar, so this will be a very busy summer for us!  Here is where I am in the pregnancy so far...
