The Reese's

Tuesday's are always my favorite days because it marks one more week closer to meeting the Reese's Cup. The updates on my phone brighten my morning slightly more. So, this is the 14 week mark. I cannot believe how fast the time is going by. I have my next appointment next week and I cannot wait. I am seriously just biting at the bit waiting for it. 8 more days until I get to hear the heartbeat, maybe get a sneak peak at the more developed "cup" and even an idea of gender?! Who knows. All I know is that I am so anxious it is going to drive me insane! Anyway's, other than having back some insane amount of energy (although it is still less than pre-pregnancy) nothing new. I had a few night's where I was sick but I genuinely think that is due to a stomach virus, considering my nights have been fine since. Who really knows... In other news, today was the last time in the next 5.5 months that my husband will likely see the "smaller" me. The next time h...

Today marks 13 weeks! YAY! I feel like I can finally enjoy this pregnancy and not worry AS much. Although most of you know that I am a complete and total worry-wart. Anyways, at 12 weeks 3 days I noticed my bump (very tiny) popped out some. I waited about 2 days to make sure this was indeed my bump and not just bloating. And at 12 weeks 5 days it was a small round bump VERY low in my tummy. We are both convinced this is a boy because of how low this bump is sitting, but we will see **hopefully** in the next month or two! But the awesome part of today is that I finally finished the baby's first blanket and the matching pillow!! After a trip to the hospital one week ago because of a sewing machine accident, I successfully finished the pillow and the blanket in a week which seems like a record for me. Okay, enough of me blabbering on... here are the pictures of my completed sewing projects!

Today is 12 weeks! They consider this the safe zone so let's pray everything goes according to plan from here on out! My 12 week present was scheduling the next OB appointment which is both very exciting and anxiety provoking. My appointment is scheduled for the 8 February. Some of you have pointed out that we have started the nursery very early- to clear this up some we are trying to get as much done now because of the next 6 months Kyle will only be here for about 2.5 of them thanks to the Coast Guard. So we wanted to get some of the decorating finished and plan out the registry, the crib and furniture now so that there is time later to just relax with each other before the baby is born. Anyways, I am just thankful that there have been no complications thus far with the pregnancy and we are praying for a smooth 6 months to come! I am also waiting on that bigger bump ;). (The top photo is 8 weeks, 5 days. The bottom photo is today: 12 weeks- excuse the messy bed, Rango LOVES teari...

So of course I am jumping right in with what Kyle and I did this weekend. Saturday afternoon we were being extraordinarily lazy and chilling on the couch watching "Design on a Dime". In the past couple of weeks we have have been contemplating whether to have a gender neutral room even though we plan on finding out the sex of the baby. We had decided, a week or so ago, that it would be monkey's for a boy and frogs for a girl. The color pallat for both was dark brown and a lime green. On Saturday we finally decided that we could just do a zoo theme for boy or girl and keep the color pallat the same. So, being the handy dandy- creative couple we are, we sat brainstorming ideas and adding to the baby registry. I forgot completely that I did not add a book shelf- AND THEN IT HIT ME! Let's do a project and turn one of our old bookshelfs that was collecting dust in the garage into a bookshelf for the baby's room. We went over ideas and settled with painting it dark choco...
