It's getting to be uncomfy round here lol

Oh my, I think I have run out of room in my belly, haha! I am down to only a finger's width left between me and the steering wheel...guess that means I will either have to buy some serious platform shoes or become a hermit! ACK! With short legs and a huge belly that's what happens heehee. And now the dietician I have to see keeps telling me to eat more!?! UGH! I am TRYING, lol...I am seriously tired of eating for now. And can I tell you how hard yoga is with short legs and a big belly? Last class I was doing a pose and holding on to the chair to save my life or else I would fall over! The instructor came over and said yeah that's clearly not good with short legs, try it this way. ROFL I was close to going down like the titanic! Ahhhh, it will all be worth it though in just a few short months, less than 2  already. :)

We have another 3D ultrasound booked for next Thursday, yay I can't wait! (Although I am not exactly looking forward to another 6 hour trip.) Not only do I get to have more new pics of this little soccer player/wrestler in here (she is seriously beating me up daily!) but I can do some shopping at Babies R Us too and Thyme Maternity, yay! I can't wait! I really hope we can see her more clearly than last time, I want to see her sweet little face again!

I got another layout done, I am not super duper happy with it but I think it's sweet and certainly didn't want to trash it...of course it's of the little sweetie that's turning me black and blue on the inside heehee so how could I not love it?! Credits can be seen here.

And just for my dad who keep bugging me lol, here is me on Easter...I have grown already since then too!  As you can tell I am not really a fan of pictures of myself. (Plus I think I need to educate DH on the most "flattering" ahem of angles lol.) ;)

Well I guess that's it for now. Wish me luck shopping for platform shoes! ;)

So busy

Well what can I say but life is busy for us right now. Prenatal classes are almost over (yay) and I just started prenatal yoga since our stupid hospital doesn't give epidurals GRRRRRRRRR!!! I am hoping it will help with the pain but I am now thinking I should have started earlier in my pregnancy.

Yoga really is hard work wow, but what I like is it's hard work combined with some nice relaxation so it seems worthwhile to get to the end where you relax, lol.

The furniture is all set up, woo hoo and I can't wait to start decorating. I am still trying to decide on a bedding set (which seem to be hard to come by for some stupid reason).

 

In other news, we got a puppy. Yes I know....why? Well because HAHAHAHA!!! She really is a freaky ugly little thing, she always has a surprised look on her face and her tongue is always sticking out but hey she needed us and we couldn't help but take her. ;) Here is our new 5 month old Pug to add to our family named Roxy (PS - she actually photographs well, so imagine her a little uglier and funnier looking than the picture...think more of a gremlin ROFL!!!)

She really is a LOT of work, I have forgotten what it's like to not have a pug couch potato like our 4 year old pug Nelly. She is slowly getting into the swing of things and the girls are FINALLY warming up to eachother (although I am sure Nelly would still rather be an only dog at this stage of Roxy's puppyhood heehee.) She is definitely growing on us and now I actually find myself telling her she's cute. ;)

 

So all is well but definitely busy around here with getting ready for baby and trying to train a new puppy and of course Kelsey and all of her stuff too. Hope everyone is doing well!

Yay the furniture has arrived!

 

I am so excited we got our nursery furniture last night! YIPPEE!!! We ordered the Lennox Storkcraft line and go it in cherry, wanna see?

Don't mind the slightly different colors these pictures are all I could find on the internet.

I am SOOOOO excited! The next purchase will be the swing and the bedding set. For the bedding I am having a heck of a time finding anything girly. But I really like this one from Sears called Lady Bug so I think that will be the one. (Once I saw this I really wanted a black crib but couldn't find one anywhere, I hope this will look nice with cherry colored wood.)

Also the swing I am thinking about is the Starlight Papasan or the Butterfly Papasan but I can't find the Butterfly one again, they must be sold out for now. But here's a picture of the starlight one

That's pretty much all for the big stuff. Of course I have been buying clothing and blankets and stuff every weekend...I can't seem to go home without at least one outfit. Heehee. But she's starting out with nothing so she has to have clothes...right? ;)

Well I just had to share my new stuff, it makes me so happy to know we have it and I can't wait to get it all set up and have her room all done! (I am sure that will still be a while though.)

Hope everyone is doing well!

So much to share!

SO the latest and greatest news is that our 3D/4D ultrasound went really well! It was SOOOOOOO worth the trip and money!!! It was absolutely amazing to be able to watch baby moving around in there, yawning and stretching and kicking, absolutely amazing!

The trip was very fast, we literally ate breakfast and lunch in the car heehee. On the bright side I did manage to get some maternity clothes, YAY! And one of the best purchases was the stroller/car seat travel system that was on sale at Toys R Us for $100 off! Can you beat a sale like that?! So here is the travel system we bought, I love the colors but it's hard to see them in the picture but they are very soft and pretty. And the one hand gravity fold is an awesome feature I am sure I will be loving!

 

DH bought me the coolest photo tower at Costco, it is brown leather and so cool. It came with 12 albums on 4 shelves (behind a door) and 3 drawers. On the front of the door and the drawers are places to put your pictures! I wanted this so bad and so he surprised me with it as an early Valentines day present. So I have been making layouts to go into the front slots (5 x 7 size) and here is my latest...My Heart Belongs To You...

credits can be seen here.

 

Now on to the BIGGEST AND BEST news! Hee hee I had to drag it out didn't I, LOL! May I present to you Our Little Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She looks so precious in this picture, with her little hand up by her face, those little fingers...well all of it just makes my heart melt! I am in awe of the miracle of life!!! Utterly breathtaking!!!!! We can't wait to meet her!!!!!

A Layout and an Update!

Wow I cannot believe I actually did a layout! I am not 100% happy with it but it's pretty much complete and pretty much what I envisioned. I cannot believe how it came about, I logged into DST one night and saw a layout I loved on the front page and actually went and bought the kit they used right then and there, it was my first time ever doing that LOL! And I LOVE it, for my pregnancy pics and baby pics it will be perfect! So here is my layout...Waiting in the Wings...

I used both pink and blue as we still do not know if it's a boy or girl in my ever expanding belly. ;) For credits see here.

We are also going to get our 3D/4D ultrasound THIS FRIDAY!!!! I CANNOT wait!!! It means a 6 hour drive round-trip but that's ok...we can do some shopping too ;) heehee. Maybe since I am pregnant and will be "oh so exhausted" from the trip etc I can lay down in the back of the van and watch a movie with dd, that would be fun! Heehee.

Well that's it, just wanted to share my layout cuz it's rare when I get one done and most of all I wanted to share the exciting news of the next ultrasound. This time we better find out what this bean actually is, LOL! ;)

Have a great night y'all!

First Pictures!

So the ultrasound went really well, baby seems healthy and all appears to be great so that's awesome!!!! We are so happy for that and just can't wait to meet this little one! There was no 100% determination on whether it's a boy or girl but the technician says she would guess it's a girl! Yippee!!!

 

We'll have another u/s done ( hopefully 4D) in the next few months and maybe just maybe we can find out 100% then heehee. Baby was jumping around so much inside that the tech had a hard time getting any great pictures but here are the 4 that we got to take home. :) These remind me of those pictures you had to stare at for hours to figure out what they were hahahaha!!! All I need to know is that it's baby and my heart melts.

 

Here is baby's spine

 

Baby's Hand and Arm

 

Baby's Face/Lips

 

And baby's Heart

  

Have a great day!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I can't wait

So tomorrow is the day, my first ultrasound and I will be 19 weeks! Yippee!! Man they sure do like a gal to wait here, this will most likely be my one and only unltrasound unless I have problems. Although hubby and I are thinking about having a 4D one done in another city that offers it. I wish I got more chances to sneak a peek at this little babe! ;)

First of all I can't wait to make sure baby is HEALTHY and next...I cannot wait to see if it's a boy or girl! Yeah we're gonna peek and we can't wait to find out! ;)

Wish us luck, I can't wait to finally "know" that all is going well in this belly of mine! :)
