Weekly Belly Shot

I forgot to post my weekly belly shots. So - here they are. Ignore the mess on the counter.... I was getting ready for work.

 

The belly doesn't look too big to most but to me it is much bigger than before baby nugget took residence in there.

 

I am rather excited it is started to peek out and say hello. Only 4 days and we announce!!!!!

 



Zoo

Yesterday we went to the zoo with my nephew. While there we took our pictures we will use to announce your arrival. I was so excited I almost posted them today.

It is so awesome to know my body is capable of creating another human. I can't wait to meet baby nugget.

My 5 yr old nephew Parker Khole took this photo - he has some talent!

Hello Second Trimester!!!!!

Brutally Honest

I haven't updated about how momma is feeling. So here is the low down. I have gained almost 3" around my stomach and it sometimes makes me sad. I had worked so hard to be under 30" and well that is gone now.

I am no longer have nausea just have heartburn daily; normally around 4:30p.m. I am still tired. Nothing like the first few weeks, but staying up past 9 is killing me.

My energy is slowly returning and I am trying to get back into the walking. Problem is I seem to get super dizzy after about 15 minutes. I pray that goes away soon.

My cravings aren't too bad. I guess the biggest thing is what I will not eat. Veggies. My child apparently is not like he/her momma. When I get a green bean, lettuce, or any veggie to my mouth it makes me gag. I can eat fruits, I can't eat chicken... I had a bad experience at Braum's with a slightly pink chicken strip and I find it hard to eat it now.

I adore sweets. Anything sour, fruity, or with a hint of chocolate is immediately devoured. Also, it seems milk is my new go to drink. If you know me that is not something normally drank, let alone not as chocolate milk. There have been a few occasions where it is drank plain. OMG!

As for work and family. Things are well. It seems I do have a great support system that understands me. I can't wait to bring this bundle of joy into our home and lives. I may complain about being pregnant but in all honesty it is the greatest thing to happen to me and Tim.

Night night world

Guess who got a bed to sleep in?

 

Baby nugget we can't wait to meet you!

 

Your new crib!
The cats are also taking part - if you look closely in the background they are there.

Daddy working hard to get our crib put up.

I am in love with this! I can't wait to complete the room and for our baby to arrive.

Names for Little Nugget

I think we have names picked out for our little nugget.

I am still debating if I want to know if it is a boy or girl... Part of me wants to do the gender reveal then other parts say wait to find out!

Anyways, the names are.... (I pray this doesn't jinx us in anyway, and no one steals our names)

Woah

Mostly this is a self induced hate spree.

I know I haven't posted much about how momma is feeling so here goes. I feel like a middle school kid who just hit puberty. I feel fat, pale, and sick.

Needless to say momma doesn't feel to hot about herself. I honestly don't see that pregnancy glow everyone talks about. I see the icky blob that needs a make over.
I want to feel that beauty and confidence I had. I don't even think Tim wants me anymore. I know he does but my brain tells me he doesn't. How unfair.

Baby bring back my beauty!

Baby Nugget's Room

I am thinking I will start the decorating on the babies room this weekend. I am selling the futon, and hopefully by the time I get it sold I will be able to find a crib!

Anyways, while we were at my parents they had a 5 gallon paint bucket of the perfect green. I think I am going to start with just one wall painted that green and then decide what to do from there.

I can't wait. We are announcing in 2 weeks and I couldn't be more excited. :)

Photos will be up soon if we get the painting done this weekend. EEP!

Bump d Bump

I was asked for a belly photo today...to me it has grown. In photos not so much, it just looks like I'm sticking my pooch out....

You decide.

Belly's and Bedding

The belly and board shot... I rushed this board and I still think it ended up cute!

Yesterday we got a bedding set and omg it is so cute. I about cried when I opened it. Tim got it for $26! And it is exactly what I wanted. I'll post a photo of that too!

 

Isn't it cute? Jade was impressed, he kept coming up to it to sniff, and then lay on it! Our baby better like cats.

Pop That

So within the last 2-3 days my belly has popped. When I wear a tank top you can see the bump. It is neat but at the same time I think omg, I haven't announced yet.

Tim says he can tell, Jayme says I won't be able to hide it soon, and Katie says awwwww....

I still am so excited we were able to see little nugget move. We do know he/she has all legs and all arms. So that is good. I am so excited to be a momma!

I will post a belly photo tonight or tomorrow. Tomorrow is 11 weeks! ;-)

Midwife Meeting

Yesterday was jam packed with lots of adventures. We finally met the midwife at OU Physicians. I was so skeptical going in to the appointment. Then it was like a weight lifted.

As she talked and told me about herself I was slowly feeling this is God in this. I asked about my Nana being in the room to help with delivery... Leanna's response was that would be wonderful! She said anything to make the mom more comfortable, and if my grandma wants to catch the baby she is more than welcome to. I wanted to cry because I was so excited.

We also got to hear baby nuggets heartbeat - 166! Healthy as a baby can be. She also did an ultrasound and we were able to see the actual arms and legs. I had tears. It was by far the neatest thing to see the baby hanging out then - wiggle :) Tim said it looked like it was swimming or something. It is so real now. I can't wait to meet our little bundle.

I will have to post a picture of the ultrasound when I get home. I can't wait to have this baby come into our lives. EEP!

10 weeks

We made it... Now we wait yet another month to announce to everyone. I'm getting a little anxious. I have this blog, I have my family, and work all in the know.... But omg I so badly want to post on FB about it. I'm not going to paint or anything until we announce so I can post photos.

Anywho, here is the wonderful board shot.
