Well we have made it to 30 weeks!!! I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. He is going to be here before we know it!!I'm more nervous about going into labor on my own because Truxton will be working for the Old lyric Theater which he did last summer. He loved it, but it also gives him some credit for his schooling and he gets paid for it like a regular job which it good both ways.
So with him doing that again this year if he was as busy as he was last year I will be home most of the time by myself. From as early as 10am till 5am. I hardly saw him. But he has told me that this summer should not be as busy cause they have alot of workers and hardly anything to do. So I am hoping that it stays that way and wont get very busy. But I know that the lord will watch out for us.
So we have officially moved into our new apartment!! And we love it!! It is so much closer to campus and to Truxton's work it just makes life easier. Bridgette loves it too!! So loves that her bedroom isn't so far away from the living room and our bedroom. I think she feels closer to us and safer. :) Our first night we stayed here she woke up the next morning walked out of her room went into the bathroom then came into our room and woke me up very nicely and said, "Mom, I can't find my big girl pants!" (that's what she calls her underwear.) lol I love it!! We all feel better about living here we are much happier and less stressed. Also we had our 28 week appointment on Monday which is the fun glucose test. :( So we went in the drew my blood then we waited for the doctor to come in. Once he came in asked if I have had any problems. I told him I have had some cramping and tightening in my stomach so he told me to watch and if they come 4 times in and hour to go to Labor & Delivery. So then he checked the baby's heartbeat 146!! :) Then he measured my stomach I saw the look on his face then he said well you are measuring at 36 cm so he told me that he wanted to schedule me for an ultrasound to make sure that he is not getting to big. So we went for our ultrasound on Wed. he is measuring big he measured at 30 weeks so they told me they are going to watch him closely and make sure he isn't getting too big. Also they will be checking to make sure all of his body parts are growing right and not growing abnormally like head growing and the body isn't or visa versa. I will try to keep this updated. :)
So I have a really good friend that works at Smiles Photography and she was doing training photos for work and she called me up the other day and asked if we would be her guinea pigs. She told me if we did we would get 3 FREE SHEETS of pictures!!! I could not turn down the offer. :) We need new pictures anyway to put around the house. So we did recent family photos and some maternity photos. I have been wanting to get some but just haven't been able to fit it in the budget. lol So thank you so much Kaycee!! I love the pictures!!!

So I am 20 weeks and 2 days today!!! And we went for our ultrasound and everything was great!! The baby is growing exactly like it should!! So the ultrasound tech was going though checking everything over and he was getting to the point where he was trying to find out what the sex was, but the baby had it legs crossed!! So he wiggled the baby until we could get a good view!! The baby decided to cooperate and spread the legs just a little bit.

| ITS A BOY!!!!! |
So we found out that we are having a BOY!!! And we couldn't be more excited!!!! We can't wait for this little guy to get here!! He is already so loved that he will probably never be put down!! Someone will always be holding him!!! I love him to death!!! Also the ultrasound tech said that he is measuring a week further along than I am. Which is good!! So he said that he measured to be here July 17th, 2011. But to stick with July 23, 2011 so we will see what this little guy decides!!!! :)
We made it to 18 weeks!!!! I'm so excited!! We had our 18 week appointment yesterday and the doctor said everything was good!! We heard the heartbeat again 146 bpm!! It was so exciting!! He told us that he would see us in 2 weeks and we would have our ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby!!! On March 7th!!! I never thought this day would get here!! I remember going to the doctor at 8 weeks prego and watching our friends come out of there doctor appointment already knowing what they are having!! And now its my turn!!! YAY!!! I can't wait!! I hope these next 2 weeks go by fast!!! Also I have felt the baby move!! Its and awesome feeling!! I just wish that I could feel it on the outside to that Truxton and Bridgette could join in on the experience with me. Hopefully that comes soon.
Also little brother Jordan will be 8 years old on the March 1st!! I can't believe he is already that old!! So he will be getting baptized on March 26th!! We are so excited!!! Congrats little brother!!!
So as of Saturday I am 14 weeks!!! Everything is going great so far, we had our appointment on Friday the 21st and we were able to hear the heartbeat!! I was so amazing!! We have had quite a few scares with this pregnancy. But we keep telling each other it will be worth it in the end!! Our next appointment is on Feb 17!! I will be 18 weeks. Its still early but i hope that the doctor will be able to see the gender then!! I will go crazy!! But ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Also my hubby has been so helpful around the house,with Bridgette, with my mood swings and cravings!! It has made everything alot easier!!
