22 Weeks

Yes! I am a week late in posting! Thanks for noticing. : ) It's been a very busy week, and as of today we are actually at 23 weeks. Ah well. We will survive.

 

Sawyer is really starting to get the hang of kicking. At first, I would only feel him at night between 9:30 and 11:00. Now, I feel him a lot during the day, too! And the kicks are getting harder. Mark actually saw my belly moving on Saturday, which was a treat for both of us. :0)

 

People are trying very hard these days to get a belly rub in... I am still too ninja to let them. We will see how long that lasts. : ) We have also registered in one place and need to in another. It's exciting! I have some great family and friends who are already hard at work thinking of shower ideas. It's hard to believe that we are over half way there, but we are!

 

Friday we are having new carpet put in our bedroom and then we are moving full force onto nursery design! My theme is anything but a theme, and people seem confused when I tell them that I am just winging it. I will post pictures when it seems to come together a little more. Until then, folks will just have to wonder and speculate. : )

 

Feeling pretty good these days, though work is wearing me out! My main pregnancy symptom continues to be the need for sleep. I have had some pretty crazy heartburn, even with the heartburn medicine...which makes me wonder if Sawyer is going to inherit both his mother and fathers thick locks. We shall see! Other than that, just peeing all the time. : )

 

Hopefully next week I will have it together better and actually post at the 24 week mark. Keep your fingers crossed!

 

20 Weeks

Yes, I am a week late in posting. (Today actually marks 21 weeks!) We have been reveling in the joy of seeing our little dove on the big screen again! We went to the doctor last Monday to find out how the little dove was doing and to see if we could get a sneak peek at the goods... Boy, did we ever. Pun intended!

Baby Boy Ellis is doing great! His heart, lungs, brain, spine and all the rest look great. He was dancing a little jig in there because I drank part of a coke about half an hour before going in. : )

We were totally delighted! We told our parents and my sister first and then filled in the rest of the gang. I am happy to say that I do have a little mothers intuition after all, because I felt like our little dove was a boy all along. I am also just so, so happy that he is healthy!!

Here is how we posted the news on facebook... we are truly blessed and excited for all of the support our family and friends have given to us! This picture was actually taken in the exam room right after we found out!

Here is a glance at me.. warning.. I have filled out! Also, for your pleasure, I am including his name. : )

Love to all!
