21 weeks and counting...

I have an appt on Wed. the 3rd for the official ultrasound at my dr's office! :) I am sooo excited to see my baby again moving around! Speaking of moving around...I feel my babe moving around a lot!!! It is the coolest thing to feel him kicking! I know I have talked about this before but it is an amazing feeling! Nick has felt him kick now! (for the first time the other day.) It was early in the morning before we went to the school for meetings this week... after I got up to pee for the hundredth time ya know...I layed back down on my back and he started kicking! I grabbed Nick's hand and put it on my belly! HE FELT IT! :) He said "ya, its cool." haha . He is such a guy but he is excited... =)

On a different note, student teaching starts on TUES! First day of school!! I am a little overwhelmed and nervous but excited I guess haha ...I am gonna be so tired! In addition to just student teaching, being pregnant adds to it! haha ALSO, having to pee all the time will be interesting lol...

That is going on right now in my life....I have a few prayer requests.., #1 my great aunt is dying of cancer...so pray for her for peace and love...etc....#2 my student teaching...and #3 as always...the baby! :)

Thank you for your continued prayers!

Baby growing and moving

I am at 19 weeks pregnant now! :) Cant believe I am like 1/2 way through my pregnancy already!!! I have felt the baby move toooO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was sooo exciting! However, at first I did not know what it was...it is very hard to explain and a lot of people explain it differently...sometimes it felt like ripples in my stomach but I have also felt like a pressure or something pushing against my skin from the other side...HAHAHA that is the best I can do in describing what it felt like...now I want to feel him all the time!....i think "is he still moving???" lol and I cant wait to get the official ultrasound so I can see him again ....and hear his heartbeat!! I wish I could watch him all the time!

The sucky thing is right now I have a bad cold...well REALLY bad sinus pressure/pain/congestion!!!!!!!!!!! it is TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! my throat kills and everything....PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.... i might sound like a baby lol but I am miserable! :(

And continue praying for my baby :) Thank you!

DR appt

I had a dr appt...got to hear the hearbeat again today....that is always nice :) and the dr said the baby was moving around alot and that he sounded good :) That is nice to hear as well! So I have my next appt Aug 26 and she said then I can have an ultrasound...the funny thing is she was like "you are 16 1/2 weeks. You dont get an ultrasound til 20 weeks!" haha so have to wait for that...(even tho i got one already) hehehehehe :) It is so good to know my baby is doing fine...I pray everyday for him...

There is my update for you! Thanks for the prayers!

No morning sickness!!!!!!

I havent thrown up in over a week now!!!!!! :) PRAISE THE LORD :) I think now I will be feeling better... with morning sickness anyways...

It still seems surreal that we are having a boy but I am soo excited! There is still a tiny part of me that is like "what if it isnt a boy and we think it is and told everyone?" but i dont know what else that part would be in the ultrasound :) It is just so amazing that there is a little person growing inside me...It is crazy that he moved around so much in the ultrasound but I cant feel him moving yet.

It is hard to explain what I feel about all this...it is just so awesome that God blessed us with this baby. I pray everyday for the baby that he is growing and developing normally and healthy and continues to have a strong heartbeat :) God is in control!

Thanks for all the prayers!

Having a...BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO we saw the ultrasound and it was the most amazing thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We finally saw his legs and butt spread with the little thing in between haha 98% sure that he is a boy cuz of that! hehehehe i was like WHAT..couldnt believe it cuz i was just expecting it to be a girl cuz there are just all girls in my family!!! and nick's aunt said that I might be a little farther along than 15 weeks cuz of the size of the babe..we will see in a couple weeks when I get another altrasound with my doctor :) I am just sooo excited!!! The baby was really movin around and flipping over in it...it was soooooo cool!!!! And we saw his mouth open and close and move his little hands all around! I just cant describe the feeling I got when I saw my baby...! I have a video of the ultrasound on facebook...Nick used his flip video to do that....thanks for all the prayers for a healthy baby! Keep them coming! :) thanks!

BABY'S HEARTBEAT~

We FINALLY got to hear our baby's heartbeat!!!!!!!! :) IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!! It is sooo real now! The doctor said it was a good heartbeat, sounded good...It was 164 beats a min... It is just soo exciting....I almost cried!! But, mostly, I just kept smiling in awe!!! We have a baby!!!! I am praising God for a healthy heartbeat and the blessing of a baby!

Now, I cant wait until we find out if it is a boy or girl!!! I have heard that if it is a faster heartbeat, it is a girl so...we will see!!

It is just soo awesome!!!!

Keep praying for the baby :)

One year anniversary

So today, Nick and I have been married a whole year. That is so crazy! In a way, it seems that its been that long; but in a way, it seems like it was just yesterday that we got married. It has been an awesome year, growing in our relationship as a married couple. I just want to say, we were together 5 years before we got married so we KNEW a lot about each other, we thought everything. However, it is true that no matter how long you are with someone, once you get married and live together, there are still things you learn about. :) It is a crazy, fun ride!!! I love him.

Now, we are going to have a baby! :) People say "well you almost made it a year..." hahaha
