The Reese's

Sorry guys, no catchy title for this blog. I was thinking "Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future..." considering I don't quite know where time has gone. Today marks the 22 week mark which means only 18 weeks left to go! As promised I will add an update from 21 weeks and catch you up with this week. For my 21 week mark, I was happily vacationing in Maryland with my family. It was wonderful to see so many people and actually get to spend time with them considering the last few trips home were so short. The week long trip was filled with shopping for Connor, watching some good television and the Baby shower!! It was a rather relaxing trip and I really enjoyed it! The flight back to Maryland went well, other than Connor kicking my lovely bladder non-stop. The flight back home was rather exhausting considering the first flight had a 40 minute weather delay where we were stuck on the plane and weren't allowed to take off. Then made it safely to the l...

When I think about 20 weeks, I think about the song by Bon Jovi. Needless to say all day I have been singing this tune in my head! Connor might come out singing this song! Well since last week: 1. Connor's crib set has arrived and 2/3 of it has been assembled. Also added in the nursery is the valance that I created and some store bought curtains. We ended up purchasing them due to the "blackout" effect so the baby can sleep better during they day time and also because of noise reduction. 2. My belly hasn't changed too much other than when I lay down. It sticks out a lot more. 3. Anatomy scan was today! It went really well. Connor cooperated with the technician in getting all the pictures she needed. He was being a little stubborn though with a picture of the nose and lips. Definitely Daddy's nose and Mommy's lips! I wish the pictures were 3D though so we could get a better prediction of his looks. But I guess that is all part of the surprise in July! Of ...

The title says it all for both Connor and I! This past week has been so BUSY! Over the weekend my father in-law and brother in-law visited Kyle and I. It was a blast! Full of such wonderful food that when I got my weight checked this week I had gained quite a few pounds. We ate at McGuire's on Saturday night, and of course if you have been to Pensacola you know you can't leave there without a Root Beer Float! We ate at Oyster Bar for lunch on Saturday and the Shrimp was Phenomenal! Friday night Kyle and I fixed steaks with some yummy sides. On Thursday night we ate at Hopjacks- a WONDERFUL pizzaria/bar with a friend from OCS who is attending flight school down here. As you can tell- food seems to be my big focus these days- luckily at my "20 week check-up" which is really my "19 week check-up" my weight was right on track! So speaking of the check-up, everything went lovely! Connor's heart rate was steady at 156 bpm. For once he was holding still so we...
