24 weeks!!



I have so much I want to blog about right now but I will keep this post as a pregnancy update. I haven't been doing very good about keeping up with the pregnancy updates. I wanted to do an update every 2 weeks and had planned on taking belly pics every 2 weeks. Oh well things don't always go according to our plan. I do capture pictures weekly with my iphone to put in my app so I can see how much I have grown. This experience just continues to amaze me every day. I am feeling MK move alot now. I pretty much feel her every morning and when I am eating dinner in the evening. It is the strangest feeling but I love it. It just brings the biggest smile to my face. I have also seen her from the outside of my belly move, now that is really strange to see this lump pop out on your belly. Overall I am still feeling great and have no complaints. I have had a great pregnancy so far. I went to the doctor last week and everything look good and was measuring just right. I will have an ultrasound at my next appointment when I am 27 weeks. I am looking forward to seeing my sweet baby again. I have a fibroid in my uterus so the doctor wants to take another look to see if its growing any bigger. It has grown each time I have been to the doctor so he is keeping a close eye on it. The place that it is in my uterus has no effect on the baby or the growth of the baby so that is a blessing!! I have gained 13 pounds so far and he says I am right on track for pregnancy weight gain. I am definitely showing these days and people are starting to say "wow you have popped out all of sudden." Even strangers are starting to ask oh when are you due?, what are you having? etc, etc. I also have had the urge to clean. This weekend I actually cleaned the house including deep cleaning like dusting all the shutters and scrubbing the stove and mopping the floors. Todd had asked what had gotten into me. haha. I like my house to be picked up but I am not much of a deep cleaner but lately I am wanting the house to be nice and clean, plus it just makes you feel better when your house is all clean. We should be receiving our chair table and lamp for the nursery in the next week or so. I cannot wait to see it come together. We have the crib and the dresser in the room and Todd finally finished painting it. The bedding is ordered and it should arrive around mid-end of June. I am so excited about Mary Kathryn's bedding. Whenever I show it to anybody, they are like oh that looks just like you. Its so true, it definitely looks just like me and Todd. We have a very traditional and classic taste. We wanted the nursery to be girlie but classic and have furniture that she could keep forever. I think we have accomplished that. Don't worry I will post pictures as soon as it is all finished. We still have a few projects we want to do in there as well. I am so ready for it to all come together. I have a feeling these next 3 months are going to fly by. Its so hard to believe I am already 6 months along and baby girl is moving all the time.

My Precious Baby Girl

To my precious baby girl,Baby Bump 003

I am 21 weeks along now and that means I get to see your precious little in face in 19 weeks or less. I can’t believe I am over halfway through this pregnancy. I am so excited to meet you and see who you look like. Everyone thinks you will have dark hair but I am starting to wonder if you are going to look just like your daddy. I love you so much already and know that love is only going to grow more and more. I am so anxious to meet you and hold you but of course I want you to stay in and cook for a little longer. Your daddy and I are busy getting your nursery ready, its turning out so cute. I cannot wait for the finished look. Its going to be the perfect blend of girly and classic. I think you will love it too. :) You already have such a hold on my heart and your daddy’s too. I just know you are going to be a daddy’s girl. He is so excited about you and we just sit and talk about you all the time. Its so funny to think that I thought this time in our lives would never come and here we are. God has blessed us so much and we are ever thankful to his blessing of you, Mary Kathryn. You have already touched our lives. You are the daughter we have always dreamed about and wondered about. I hope one day you will realized how much Mommy and Daddy love you and how much we have always loved you, from the day we saw your little heartbeat on the screen. Always remember no matter what Mommy and Daddy are here for you. :) My sweet precious baby girl I cant wait to see your sweet face come September!!

(I had Todd do a mini photo session for 20 weeks, these were taken last week after church.)
