Belly Bands, Baby Pictures and Lack of Caffine

One of the greatest inventions EVER! The belly band.
(Image from Google)
March 7 (13 wks) Today is the first day I am actually wearing my belly band. Yes, I’ve made it 13 weeks wearing my normal pants, but no longer. Happily, the belly band continues to allow me to wear my very own pants which is comforting. Now I just have to make sure my tops are all long enough to cover the belly band so people don’t suspect. We’ve had 2 appointments since I last blogged. The first was another ultrasound where we got to see our precious peach sized baby. The heartbeat is great and baby is a very wiggly little thing. We were able to see that baby P has very long (and skinny) arms and legs which is a little odd since Scott and I are relatively shorter people. I also had blood drawn for the sequential blood screening. I didn’t pass out.

Look at the lips on our baby @ 12wks! A little Angelina Jolie??

At our second appointment, they were just going to listen to the heartbeat and make sure I was doing ok, so I told Scott he could sit this appointment out. My momma however wasn’t about to let her baby go to an appointment without someone to lean on. So off momma and I went to my appointment and for the first time ever, she got to hear her grandbabies heartbeat. She also got to meet my Dr.

I’m feeling pretty good 90% of the time. There are still some foods that sound awful to me (anything green except for salad) and I crave burgers and chocolate. I have purchased a few tops in bigger sizes that can hopefully cover my growing belly. I’ve been sleeping pretty good at night which is awesome. Scott continues to play the part of wonderful husband/father to be. He loves rubbing my stomach and talking to our little baby. I get to see a side of him that is completely new to me and I love it.

Baby P chilling with legs propped up on my uterus.  He/She looks pretty
comfy in there....
I have given up my white chocolate mocha’s at Starbucks for caffeine free beverages. I’ve also given up the idea of skydiving this summer. The things a pregnant girl must give up… :)  Things Scott and I won't be giving up...traveling, camping, and various other activities that we enjoy throughout the summer months.  Yes, this summer I will be the pregnant girl in a bikini at the river.  I can't wait. :)

All about the Little Boy

Sometimes I forget this tiny boy isn't even 2 years old.  He shows more love and empathy towards people than those 10x his age.  He'll give a smile and wave to anyone who'll make eye contact with him.  He has a tender spot for the elderly and people in wheelchairs.  At the same time, this is the boy that asked to be put in his baby sisters crib, then peed on her sheets.  He's a tiny little pistol, full of mischief and curiosity, and 100% boy. As we near his 2nd birthday, I can't believe he's been around as long as he has.  I still stare at him in amazement and can't believe he is my baby.  Every day he is spouting new words and bringing up something we did days ago.  His memory is sharp as a tack and if he's heard you say something one time, you better believe that word or phrase is now a part of his vocabulary. He has handled moving to the farm like a pro.  He's always liked coming out here and seeing the barn, tractor, and riding the ...

Marry Me Today and Every Day

Music has the amazing ability to stir up an old memory, put goose bumps on your arms, or maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Recently while driving home from work, I had that very thing happen. I had never heard the song before, but it basically summed up the story of a guy and girl that met in a café. Sounds like the story of a guy named Scott and a girl named Kara to me. Here’s the song; Forever can never be long enough for me Feel like I've had long enough with you Forget the world now we won't let them see But there's one thing left to do Now that the weight has lifted Love has surely shifted my way Marry Me Today and every day Marry Me If I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe Say you will Say you will Together can never be close enough for me Feel like I am close enough to you You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love And you're beautiful Now that the wait is over And love and has finally shown her my ...

My Blue Eyed (little/big) Boy

Hello there little guy So there's this 32 lb. boy that wakes me up each morning.  Typically he goes to his daddy's side of the bed, but if he doesn't feel good or he's had an accident, he'll come to my side.  He typically says something like "The sun is up!" or "Is it time to get up?"  He likes everyone to be out of bed and the blinds to be opened.  This happens between 6:30-7 each morning. He appears with groggy blue eyes that despite showing sleepiness still hold a hint of mischievous.  His hair is a disheveled mess of light brown with a sprinkle of golden hairs that look like spun silk.  His dinosaur jammies are getting shorter on his long legs each day, showing just how quickly this little guy is growing. Snuggles This sweet little boy has eyes that are bigger then his stomach.  He likes to fill his bowl with cereal or oatmeal, but has a hard time eating everything he "thinks" he needs.  He has his picky days where no...
