The Bump: 24 Weeks

I popped at 23 weeks. I went to put on my usual Sunday morning t-shirt and it was suddenly a little smaller. I just knew Cody had given me the medium I used to wear but it was the large.
Little Miss Emily is taking over the belly! Cody got to feel her move at 23 weeks which was very exciting. It was also neat for me because I finally got to see her move. I catch myself staring at my belly waiting for her to move around.

I had an appointment this week with the doctor. I was shocked by my weight, but she didn't seem to be so I guess that's a good thing. I have to remember that I'm carrying a baby.

And here's a cliche' picture just for kicks and giggles...

The Bump: 22 Weeks

We've managed to make it to 22 weeks! I can't believe how much I've grown in the last 3 weeks. Okay well maybe I can believe it a little because I sure can't fit into a good portion of my clothes. I wish I could wear yoga shorts to work, but I can't. It's too hot for jeans but I don't have too many options. Longing for fall!!

Emily is kicking around like crazy, but not enough yet for Cody to feel or see. She was really active in church this morning so I guess she likes Matt's preaching just as much as we do. That or he was too loud and she was begging for silence! :)

Saturday I will finish cleaning out the nursery with my mom and then we can start putting it together. Excited to see what's to come of that room!!

The Bump: 19 Weeks

Starting to really feel like I look pregnant which is a nice change. I'm definitely starting to run out of clothes to wear and not sure how much I want to invest in. I've got a bunch of fall/winter clothes but nothing for this ridiculous heat!

Crazy enough my slurpee addiction has curbed for the time being. I had one yesterday and it was pretty good, but no need to have one every day any more. Still loving the root beer, but also not nearly as severe. I have had a pretty good sweet tooth this week though.

Potentially felt the baby move a couple times now, but still can't be 100%. The first time was last week but I wasn't real sure. Felt that same type of feeling twice since then, but not regularly.

We find out the sex of this sweet baby next week!! I can't wait! Vote to the right...

The Bump: 15 Weeks

The 15 Week Bump! Starting to feel a little more pregnant and a little less chubby.

This is the dress I've worn to the last two weddings I've attended. Pretty sure it might be the only nice dress that fits me this summer. It's possible I'll wear it to the next 3 weddings purely to see the belly grow.

I am totally craving frozen goodness!! Slurpees and snowcones are the best thing in the world. My water has to be extra cold in order for me to drink it too.

Hives are the devil. I've never had them in my life but in the past week I've had them a lot. Can't pinpoint why they are happening, but a preggo friend told me she has unexplainable hives around this same time in her pregnancy. We shall see...

The Bump

Well, here it is...the 12 week bump! I finally came up with an outfit that will be able to grow with me so that I could start my weekly photo op! I really can't believe that the baby bump is this big already. Although I am pretty sure to others I just look a little chubby.

And of course Mikey had to be part of the photo shoot!

The heartbeat was 156 today which according to an old wives tale means we will be having a girl, but we won't know that for another 8 weeks. Vote for the sex over on the right...
