First of all, I'm 20 weeks into my pregnancy which means I'm half way there! The belly has definitely started to show itself and the baby has most definitely made it's territory known. I have started to feel the baby kick...a lot. It is the weirdest/coolest/craziest feeling ever. Some days, I look in the mirror at my big boobs (sorry, tmi, but seriously, first time I've ever had cleavage!), and my growing belly that isn't the most flattering thing and it honestly freaks me out to think I'm growing a human. A little tiny 12 oz human is inside my belly. It's just scary and cool and amazing all at once.
And, secondly, we have confirmed today with an AMAZING ultrasound that baby Rogers is a BOY!! We are so excited and cannot wait for the day when he gets here! Colt and I immediately went to Gap and bought the cutest little outfit. Red little jeans, and a white tee, and then the most softest cuddliest little sweatpants ever. Can't wait for a cute tiny body to fill them right up.
This has been a whirlwind of a month and days like today put life into perspective for you. The stress that I've been under has been insane and has quite honestly made me probably not the most fun to be around (sorry babe). But all of the moving and unpacking and buying and selling and money worries were all shoved aside and totally forgotten about when we were in the ultrasound room today looking at our baby boy squirm and toss and punch and chill. Ha it is truly truly an amazing feeling. I'm grateful to be reminded of the real-ness of life. This is what it's all about right?
On a totally different note, I have made a new nightly tradition--chocolate shakes. Oh em gee. Guys, if you aren't already doing this..you need to. It doesn't have to be a big chocolate shake, just a little bite and it tops your day off just mmmm. I highly recommend this for self-soothing.
I have kind of been thinking about sharing my awesome recipes with all of my 2 followers. Ha ha but really. I can't take credit for nearly half of them, but when I find a good one, I think it's worth sharing! Cause what is worse then making your grocery list and asking yourself, "what am I making for dinner this week?" right? I hate it. So I've decided that when I do make a good meal that is husband approved (and even if it's not) then I will most definitely share!
In the meantime, here are some recent pics of the baby bump and my niece's blessing and the babe Lars-head.
A boy!! I have to comment...because waking up every few hours makes me have crazy dreams..I was just dreaming that me, you, your baby bump and my baby were all trying to get into a concert, but it wad actually like a parry? Reunion? Ha ha anywayssss. Congrats on your little man. Wanna think of something else that blows my mind? You are not only growing a human...you're growing a human with male "parts" if ya know what i mean. Lol!! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha Court how fun is that dream? Thanks for the congrats! Ha and the whole baby growing thing will never stop blowing my mind I don't think! It's pretty darn neat.
ReplyDeleteHa! I had a chocolate shake every single day the last four months I was pregnant with Brick. Every time I have one I think of that! It must be a boy thing!!
