A Name.

Baby is the length of a Banana!

 

Baby is 20 weeks and 1 day!! We went in for our 20 week appointment yesterday and got to see her again, and got some amazing pictures!! It's my favorite when I get to see her little face, feet, and hands. She's just so lovely. 

She's moving like crazy in my tummy these days. I love to feel her wiggling around in there! And I love that Jacob can feel it now too! I love how his eyes light up when I tell him baby is kicking, and he just drops whatever he is doing so he can put his hand on my tummy. It's the cutest. 

So, we have her name. And I'm ready to share it with you all! I told my 3 year old nephew, Kharter, her name and he calls her Baby Bear. It's kind of the cutest thing ever. He brings me his old baby toys and says, "Baby Bear can have this.", "Baby Bear needs this, it was mine when I was a baby.", "Is that for Baby Bear?" Haha. I love it! So have you guessed her name yet?

Our Baby girl's name is....

My Husband.

 

Everyday I am more and more thankful to have such an amazing man in my life. I'm so blessed to be married to my best friend and the love of my life.

"I'm pretty sure God made me and you just so we could be best friends." You are my best friend, you are my love, you are my everything.

Boy or Girl?

 

Our little baby is a girl! We couldn't be more excited!!! 

We went and had an ultrasound done, and the technician confirmed that Baby is indeed a girl! It's such a wonderful feeling to know for sure what our little munchkin is! 

We are at 18 Weeks and she is the size of a sweet potato! 

At first Baby was rolled up in a little ball sleeping but soon she was moving around like crazy (like she always is when she's awake!) I love to watch her move on the screen just as much as I love feeling her move in my tummy. We got to do a 4D and see her face, and let me tell you....that girl has some cheekbones! Just like her mom, hehe! They are very noticeable now since she has practically no fat on her little face! We also got to see each arm, hand, leg, and foot. And see her heart up close and personal. It was amazing. And her heart beat continues to be a strong 150! I love it!

I'm so blessed to have this little family of mine, and I'm so impatient for December to get here so I can hold her in my arms! I love you so much my little baby girl!

Idependence Day!

We love the USA! So blessed to live here! 

This 4th of July is probably one of my favorites because it's the day I finally felt our little wiggle worm kick. Now I'm addicted to that feeling!!! It's like air bubbles popping in my stomach. I love it so much. Our little baby has stolen my heart and I'm just filled with love and excitement about everything!

We spent the 4th just running around town, and then when night fell Jacob took me out into the field behind our apartment and we watched fireworks on a quilt and did sparklers. It was great until the bugs attacked! Then we headed to the grass in front of our apartment and laid there and star gazed for awhile, well I did, Jacob was trying to figure out how to write with sparklers and catch it on camera. (As you probably know he wasn't able to figure it out this time!)

We had to cancel our appointment to see Baby this Saturday because Jacob has drill. But it's okay because now we have an appointment here in Bentonville tonight!!! We will officially know if Baby is a he or she tonight!! Meep! (the reason I scheduled it in Tulsa is so I could visit my bestie while there, but Jacob said he'd take me another weekend so it's all good!)

17 Weeks.

 

17 Weeks! Baby is the size of my open hand!

We had our 16 week appointment last week, and we found out what the gender "might" be! Eeep! I hope the Nurse Practitioner was right and that it doesn't change because I've already got it embedded in my mind! Our little baby was squirming and wiggling around like nobody's business. It brings tears of happiness to my eyes every time I see Baby moving around, it's pretty much the cutest thing ever. 

Now when it comes to symptoms, in my last post I was bragging about being "normal" again. Not so much anymore. When I have heart-burn it's the worst thing ever. Not even Tums will help me out, oh it's miserable. But it only comes around every once in awhile which is a good thing. 2nd, My hair is falling out like crazy. Jacob saw my huge hair wad (sorry TMI!) after I got out of the shower the other night and he almost fell out. He's pretty sure I will have no hair soon. And 3rd, yesterday morning I woke up with one of the worst Charlie Horses I've ever had. OHH I hate those things, some of the worst pain I've ever experienced! I hope there are no more! And don't even get me started on my tore up gums and sensitive teeth.....wah!

After a week and a half of trying I finally have an appointment up in Northwest Arkansas. But I'm not liking them too much right now. They refused to schedule me an ultrasound for my 20 week appointment (Hello, have you ever heard of being kind and letting a couple find out the gender of their baby at the time that everyone else does?) They said that I couldn't do that because it's my "first" appointment. (No it's my 4th thank you very little). UGH!  I'm so glad that I'm not going to have to switch doctors anymore! 

On a positive note, I got an appointment at an ultrasound place in Tulsa, and should know Baby's gender (for sure) next Saturday!!! Meep!
