We're Halfway Thereeee.... WHOAAAA!

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 course during the ultrasound he was kicking up a storm and my belly was popping all over the place. The technician was laughing so hard at him. I bet in April when Kyle comes home he will be able to feel the karate chops and kicks that Connor has been practicing! Otherwise the technician said it was an awesome scan and our baby is very photogenic. (NO CLUE WHERE HE GETS THAT FROM! Kyle and I both hate the cameras!) That is probably the last glimpse we get at the little guy until July. But only 20 weeks to go and I bet he will be growing up a storm!

4. I am preparing for the flight back to Maryland. On Saturday I am taking a lovely 6 am flight from Pensacola to Maryland to spend and awesome week with family and friends! I seriously cannot wait for the doctor to confirm that I can go (which will happen on Thrusday or Friday!) We can't think of any reasons why I shouldn't be able to but lord only knows! So that being said, Week 21 blog will be combined with week 22 and will be ABSOLUTELY LONG! so be prepared when I return! Because it will also include the BABY SHOWER! I cannot wait to see family and friends at the shower it's been about 6 months and 5 of them I have been pregnant!

I am so happy to have everything falling into place (other than my flat tire and need for new tires on the car... but that is a whole different story for the "Days from Hell" blog! Today was awesome. I got to watch our little man moving and kicking and punching for about 45 minutes.  Below is the ultrasound picture, my 20 week picture!

By the way: Family and friends in Maryland: PLEASE RSVP to Jennifer Ward ASAP about the baby shower. She said she has only received a handful of RSVP's mainly through my mom. SO get that to her so she can get a count of who is coming! If you have any questions let me know or facebook her!

"This should be interesting..."

After getting both kids to bed (before 8pm mind you!) I have finally had time to sit down and decompress. My morning started out with Emilee stirring in her crib around 4am. I quickly grabbed her and put her in our bed to fall back asleep as she normally does. She started stirring around again at 6am which was my cue to get out of bed and get dressed and ready to leave for her eye appointment. I woke up with that "this should be an interesting day" feeling and low and behold, it was. It was 6:55 when I realized that our wonderful sitter hadn't arrived yet. She is never late, even the one time she thought she was going to be late she was still five minutes early. So when she wasn't here at 7, my mind went crazy. Was she in an accident, had something happened with her family... the list went on with the craziness of Philly news. I sent a text at 7:05 and nothing. I finally switched from worried mom mode to get-in-the-damn-car mode to make the appointment on time. (I...

I am One Month!

Wow how time really flies! Things were so hectic at the end of the pregnancy that I realized I never kept you updated. Birth Story: Well, long story short on 22 July at 10am my water broke. I called L & D and they said to come on in to get monitored and to check the fluid levels etc. Kyle and I thought maybe we weren't really going to be admitted (you know maybe I had had an accident haha). We decided to do the trip to the hospital as a trial run. We got what was left of our bags packed, loaded up the car and stopped at Wendy's for some Chicken Nuggets. (I wanted to make sure I ate something in case I was really in labor and wouldn't get food for a while (Smart thinking on our part!).) So we arrive, they do some awesome monitoring and evaluation and sure enough there was a water leak! They said I would have 24 hours to deliver otherwise they would have to do a c-section. Well for those of you who are reading this and know me, I was scared of getting a c-section (as...

Weeks 23 and 24

Once again things got pretty busy and I did not update for week 23. This is mainly because my sister, brother in-law and nephew came for a visit! It was a great week full of food, Blue Angel Practice Show, Exploreum, putt putt golfing, some shopping and so much more! It was a great opportunity for Kyle and me to be tourists in the town we live in. All in all it was awesome to spend time with the family and show them around. 23 weeks was rather uneventful in terms of Connor. We did have a doctors appointment last Monday and the doctor wrote me a prescription for Nexium for the AWFUL acid reflux that I was having. Now I can enjoy food again without the terrible burning sensations. He also told us that the 20 week ultrasound showed a nice healthy baby with "no gross abnormalities". I could finally sigh in relief knowing that the ultrasound came back great. Now to actually see Connor and check for all 10 fingers and toes! Otherwise he is kicking and hitting up a storm. Kyle was...
