23 Weeks!!!!

Addison is full speed!  I woke up this morning to her turning flips! It's the best feeling in the world! 

Not too much has changed this week.  My belly looks pretty much the same, the only diffence is seeing it move and jump :)

I am still craving fruit! LOVE IT!

I have been a little more uncomfortable this week, but nothing major.  Just mainly the feeling of my body trying to change and make room for this growing baby. :)

We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and we can't wait to hear her precious heartbeat!

Ryan and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary yesterday. It is so hard to believe that it has been almost 9 years since we first started dating.   I am so blessed to have such a fantastic husband.  He is my best friend and I have loved every minute of our journey so far and I cannot wait to start this new chapter of our lives together.  I know without a doubt that he is going to be a GREAT Daddy! I love him so much :)

 



22 Weeks!!!

I cannot believe it has been 22 weeks already!  Time is flying by and yet September can't get here soon enough!  I can't wait to meet my little princess!

BIG NEWS this week!!! We can feel Addison wiggling and kicking from the outside :)

Ryan felt her first on Friday night.  The look on his face and his reaction was priceless.  Something I will never forget.  It is amazing. 



Things going on this week:

• The AC went out in our office Monday and was not fixed until late today.  So, for the past 3 days we have been working in 88 degrees.  Not fun.  But we made it.  It did however give me a taste of the heat.  It's going to be a hot summer for me this year, but it will all be worth it! I'll just find a cool body of water or stay inside :)
• Sleep has been great!! Other than the frequent bathroom trips, I sleep so well!
• Food cravings are all about fruit!  Loving some fruit right now! I'm wanting some watermelon as we speak.
• My skin has finaly decided to start clearing up! It's not perfect, but it is so much better than it was!  I was starting to feel like I was 15 again.  Since I can't use any medications or medicated facewashes, I just used Cetaphil gentle cleanser at least twice a day and over time it has cleared up.
• Hair and nails are a definite plus during pregnancy!  My hair is growing and my nails are longer and stronger than ever! Love it!
• My favorite thing to do is talk to Addison.  And now that I know she can really hear my voice, I've been singing to her.  As silly as it may seem, it really is the most awesome way to bond and feel close to her.  It is so cool to know that she can hear me, and I know she may not understand the words I am saying but she knows it's my voice.

Another very exciting thing has been scheduling baby showers!  I am so thankful to have such great family and friends!

I see on Facebook where everyone is reading all of these new books, but my reading mostly consists of baby books!  In addition to the books, I have through the help of friends discovered some great websites.  So to all you first time mommy-to-be's out there, here a couple links:

Plus, if you are an iPhone user, Sprout is a great app!  It takes you week to week through the pregnancy. 

I have been working on the tissue paper pom poms.  They are not complicated at all, but know that your first couple WILL be practice!  So don't get too frustrated because they really are simple.  I am also in the process of making a small tulle wreath for her door.  I can't wait to share pictures:)

Also, I wanted to share this picture that our friend Ben airbrushed for us! I can't wait to frame it. He did such a great job! Thank you Ben!!!

Well, that is all I have for the week! See ya'll next week!

21 WEEKS!!!!

• Major moment: I felt her move!!!!! Yay!!! Finally! Feeling her move and wiggle around is the most amazing thing!  I never imagined just how it would feel and I know it's only going to get better!  I can't wait until Ryan can feel her too :)

• Sleep has been great.  I have actually been able to sleep through the night!!!

• Food.  Mmmm food.  I am really wanting fresh fruit.  Watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, bananas...

•  Ryan and I have been walking some, which has made me feel better. 

• Saturday, I caught the first glimpse of how hot this summer is going to be!  I was so hot all day!!  Fun, fun!

• Heartburn... indigestion.... need I say more?  lol

 

This has been a great week!  Especially now that I can feel my little princess wiggle around.  I can't wait to see what the next weeks hold :)
