Baby's 3D scan...

Isn't she beautiful!?

In this photo, she has one of her foot near her right eye and her right hand near her mouth. We got a DVD of the scan which she was being very cute.....She yawned, tasted the amniotic fluid and smiled.

I am 30 weeks and 3 days today!!!

We've been working on her little side of the room and this is one side we're almost completely finished with.

Her changing station/dresser:

Her crib is near my side of the bed, still working on the design and getting things together. I can't believe she'll be here in less than 10 weeks!

25weeks 5days

Well baby girl is getting bigger! She's been moving alot and I love it. Lately she's been in this weird position where she would lay so far out that when I lay down I can feel her head. It's pretty cute...and freaky.... but mostly CUTE. haha.  Pains... hmm where should I start.... my legs hurt at night and my back hurts me when I sit down sometimes.  Boobs (TMI) are feeling heavier and stretch marks on the side of my hips.  So itchy!

 I took my glucose tolerance test last week. The first time I went, the lab tech didn't know that she had to draw my blood every hour... so I had to come back the next day and do it again.  I drank the orange flavor and it wasn't that bad.  I came back the next morning with my hubby and this time she did it right.  I hope everything is fine though. I'd hate to go and do the 3 hour. 

Baby will be sharing rooms with us since my brother will be moving in once he's out of the Army.  We already have her crib up and changing station which also has a dresser.  We bought her stroller and car seat back in January so that's checked off. Next is.... I'm not sure. I just want to decorate but I am just not sure what theme.  Well once I get that figured out, I'll be posting pictures. 

March 23 --- 4D scan. We are so excited!! Plus I get to drink a coca cola!!! Ah I've missed it so much.

That's all with the updates. :)

6 months pregnant?!?

YES! 6 months pregnant! I am 24 weeks 1 day! Months away from meeting my baby girl!

Stockpiling on baby items

So I've started my stockpile for baby items.  Lately I got this really great deal on Huggie wipes.  I was able to get 51 packages of wipes and 1 box of Pampers size 2 diapers (clearance) from CVS, all for under $30! 1 piece of wipe turned out to be .007¢ each! That is a good deal to me! The box of Pampers had 100 diapers, all for the price of $7.49. That's .07¢ each! Can you say amazing deal?!!


UPDATE:

I am now 23 weeks 4 days.  So far I've gained about 10 pounds! Crazy! Baby is moving like crazy and I love every single movement she does.  This morning I felt her stretch her body or something, I mean on one side something, probably her head, was moving outwards and on the opposite side, something else was sticking out which I am guessing was her feet. Anyways, here's me at 22 weeks.

Update.

Well, I am 21 weeks and 2 days pregnant today.

I've been really busy lately.  We moved into a 2 bedroom townhouse which is really nice.  We're still close to my family which is also a plus.

Pregnancy update

I am 17 weeks and 3 days today!

Time is flying by.  I am almost to the halfway mark to the end of my pregnancy.  Not much is going on except my belly expanding and I think I feel little flutters here and there.  Every night my husband and I are listening to baby's heartbeat together before we go to bed. :) This baby is such a blessing for the both of us.  This Friday we go in for the anatomy scan and I am hoping that we find out the gender.  Everyone is saying I'm having a boy but I guess we shall wait and see.  We haven't bought any furnitures for the baby yet, but I'm thinking starting Friday the baby shopping will begin. I'm so excited! I have started getting the little baby care items while couponing. Baby will have its own stockpile :) That's all for now until Friday!
