Little man

Here is a picture of my little man and I just before bible study. I went in his room this morning to wake him up, only to find that I had fallen asleep on his bed with him. He is such a sweet little boy. Even though at times he can be quite a stinker I find myself being more and more patient with him everyday. He is going to be such a wonderful big brother. Hopefully, if Seth and I decide to have more kids he will have a little brother some day. I love you Levi.

Not so pink....

I know, 23 weeks and I am pretty much finished with " 's" room. To say the least I did it as simple as I possibly could on a budget. The only thing we really spent money on was the bed set. Everything els we already had from Levi. Thanks to Jordan we now have another crib set for when I wash this one or get tired of it. I was just going to find a cheap bed set off of craigs list but ran across this bed set from Target for only 69$ and fell in love with it. The bedroom had already been painted from our guest bedroom and thought the light blue would still work for a girl. Im not really into the pink for a girl.. I added a tree, glued on some fake flowers and love the outcome. So simple yet really girly. The room is pretty small as you can tell from the pictures, so I did the best I could with the placement of the furniture.

By the way seth picked out the green baby outfit. And yes it really is that green. I didn't like it at first but considering Seth loved it the moment he picked it up It kinda grew on me. She will be born in December so to make Seth one happy daddy she will most likely be coming home in that outfit.

Surviving 23 weeks

So as of today I am currently 23 weeks pregnant. I feel as if I am further along, considering my size is pretty massive compared to when I was pregnant with Levi. I am at the stage of hardly being able to crawl out of bed without Seth's help. I cant imagine how much I will be needing him at 9 months when he is deployed. 17 weeks left. It's crazy how time flies when you have another little one to watch over. I am scared, but at the same time excited for our little baby to come into the world. Sorry I'm just babbling along. Here is a belly shot that Seth took a few days ago. Also maybe while Levi is sleeping today I'll take a few pictures of our little girls room..

Family Pictures

On Sat Seth, Levi and I met up with a friend from church. She offered to take pregnancy photos for us for free. She a photographer in the making and is trying to add more photos to her online albums. For the longest time I couldn't decide what to wear so we all wore white t-shirts and blue jeans. We plan to do another photo shoot with just my belly when I'm further along. Here are just a few. The rest should be done hopefully in the next few weeks.

Healthy baby

I called this morning asking fro results on the ultrasound last week. Dr said everything looked great. Her heart rate was 146 and she now weighs 12.8 oz

Take two!

So after a long times wait FINALLY ultrasound number two.. ITS A GIRL! I cant tell you how excited I am. I can finally figure out what I want to to with her room. Later today I will be going to the mall and buying her first outfit. =D YAY

My baby lump!

ITS A...

So... I am about one day away from finding out what we are really having. Even though I have an idea of what we are having, to say I am excited would be an understatement.
This feels like such a big deal, because.. well, because it is. If this baby just so happens to be a boy, we may try and have another child in the future..and keep hoping for a girl. If this baby is a girl "which i am most certain it is" then we may be done.
I say all of this as if it is easy to say, mainly because we have not come to a solid concrete decision on all of this, and GOD always has the go ahead to change our hearts and minds on things. This is just what we feel right now.

Anyway, I am just soooo excited. Finding the gender with Levi was a big help in connecting the bond with the life growing inside of me, and I know it will be the same with this baby. There is just something about whispering a name to your growing belly that feels so intimate. Soooo...
On the same note, Seth and I finally after hundreds and I'm sure hundreds of names finally came up with the perfect name. But.. We wont be telling anyone until our little one arrives. So if you don't mind waiting another 4 months. We'll your gonna have to =)

How Im feeling: GREAT! I just feel all around great. Besides Seth being gone for a whole week and being some what depressed about that I am doing great. "I know it's only a week" I have energy STILL to run around the house with Levi, I have got a cute little baby bump and can still fit into some of my jeans ( Uh.. sort of. I kind of broke the zipper on one pair last week ) And to top it off this baby is still moving and rolling inside of me. Its not like Levi though, I'll explain. Levi was like "JUDO 360 CHOP!! sorry mom was that your liver?" and this baby is like " Pardon me mother, may i bump you a little bit?" So thats the difference in case you were wondering.

Well this is what's up with me.. Until next week. Well the 4th.. I'll post pictures.
