Half way! 20 weeks!

Today marks the half way point! I still have a long way to go but cannot believe I am already 20 weeks. I have been feeling good and have really been in a nesting mode! I started cleaning/organizing when I got home from Texas and can't wait until the cleaning is over! It feels good to have a cleanER house than before and I can't wait to finish cleaning so I can start on baby boy's room. I don't know what I am doing as far as the nursery goes. It's SO hard to find cute boy bedding/decor without paying a fortune so I am thinking about turning on my creative switch and sewing him up some bedding. I think it will be fun and special! Unless something REALLY cute pops up I will be hanging out with my sewing machine for a while! Nothing is better than having something original! I am thinking about getting creative with the paint as well, we will see what happens! I can't wait to do his room!!!!

Here is my belly! It has grown quite a bit in the past 5 weeks. Baby is about the length of a banana this week (head to toe)! That is so cool. I can't wait to see him!

More Bailey

Ultrasound 17 weeks

Went to get another 4d ultrasound thanks to Billy and Hay! Clayton, my family, and a lot of friends got to sit in for this one, it was fun! They confirmed the boy parts so we definitely having a little guy like we thought! Yay! So excited...now we just have to decide on a name!

Baby Bailey is here!

Wow....what a blessing this week has already been! I got a call from my sister and Billy Monday morning that the baby was on it's way. I changed my flight immediately, left that afternoon and literally got to the hospital within an hour and a half of Haley pushing the baby out. I was SO thankful I made it in time. Childbirth is unreal. I am so blessed to have such an amazingly strong sister and to be an Aunt to precious Bailey. She truly is a beauty and a joy to have in our family.

15 weeks

Well, 15 weeks is here and I cannot wait to get home and try on all those maternity clothes mom bought me! (thanks mom) My clothes just aren't fitting right and it's starting to get annoying. All I want to wear lately is baggy comfortable clothes...don't care what it is!

I was really full from dinner in this belly shot!


One week from today and I will be in ATX. woo! So excited. The weather has been really hot the past two days and forecast says it will storm Friday but other than that will be in the 80's and 70's for the next week. This will change by tomorrow...ha ha Weather is so unpredictable in Virginia. Let's hope they are right this time. We have really needed this sun! Everything has been blooming and has been so beautiful.


Clayton found a lake close by and it is Major's new favorite spot. He LOVES the water...no surprise there! We took them on Easter to play frisbee and ball (and for Major to get his swim in) I wish I had my camera that day! He is the funniest swimming dog we have ever seen. We were laughing hysterically every time he went to get his ball out of the water. I thought he was going to drown a couple of times. Let's just say he's not the best swimmer out there. One time he was fetching the ball and swam right by it without seeing it, and he just kept goin! Just swam straight out almost to the middle of the lake before he turned around to come back. It was hilarious. He is a funny dog.

Hope everyone has a great week!

It's a BOY!

Went to the ultrasound tonight and it was great! At first they said we might not be able to determine the gender because I am only 14.5 weeks. The tech tried looking and said it looked like a girl and then when the baby started moving around more she said "oh! I am so sorry, there is definitely a penis there! It's a boy!" Guess he was being a little shy at first. After that he started showing off everything! We saw it all! They said we could go ahead and start painting the walls blue because there was definitely a wee wee! ha ha! We are so happy!

Here is a video of the baby! look and you can see that it is definitely a boy! :-)


A few pics from the ultrasound! click on the pics and they get bigger so you can view them better.

Ultrasound tonight!

Just booked us a 3d/4d ultrasound for tonight! Probably won't be able to determine the sex but we will get to see the little guy/gal. I will post pics tonight when we get home.

Major made me miss my prenatal yoga class this morning. He decided to run around the neighborhood like the crazy & wild animal he is. I decided not to chase him, he thinks it's a game when I do...so I waited, made a cup of coffee, and sure enough, 15 minutes later, there he was, parked on the front porch out of breath. I can't totally blame him, Owen got out first which encouraged Major's escape... oh these dogs! I just hope our child isn't this rambunctious!

For now I'm going to spend the rest of the day finishing Bailey's surprise gift, trying being productive, and then out in the sun! It's going to be clear and in the 70's today. We have to take advantage of these days out here in VA....doesn't happen very often. Love to all.
