Baby News Update

     I think around the first Sunday in March I started feeling the baby kick from the outside!! I was soooo excited!! I have been waiting what seems like FOREVER to feel this!! A week later my husband was able to feel her too!! Then the other night I was taking a nice relaxing bath and was reading a book. I just happened to look down and my tummy was a jumpin!! It made me laugh! Since then I can feel her ALL THE TIME!!! She must know I’m writing about her because she is making her presence known now as I type!! It is the most wonderful sensation in the world being able to feel a little life inside you!!
     I had my 24 week check up yesterday and everything is going well. My doc said since my last ultrasound went so well she isn’t worried about anything right now and they are going to treat me like normal from here on out instead of high risk. I have one more appointment a month from now and then I go to two week appointments! That seems crazy to me that I’m about to be at that point already!!
     I finally got around to taking a few pictures of the baby belly and man…do I look HUGE!!! I stopped checking the scales and try not to look when they weigh me at the doctors. What is important is that she comes out healthy so from here on out I’m not gonna worry about the weight.
     I have a lot of things going on this month and next including my birthday!! We had a party this past weekend and I had a lot of fun. I didn’t even miss not being able to drink! Other than that, I’ll try to write about all the other things going on as they happen!
I think this pic was around 22 weeks

Babies and puppies, puppies and babies!!

   Still working on a name, I think we have it narrowed down to two but I'm having a really hard time deciding. It HAS to be perfect. After all she's gonna have to live with it for the rest of her life!!
But while the name hunt is still on, I think I've found the nursery I want!! Or at least a combination of things I really like!
   With Taylor I didn’t get to have a nursery. Her crib was in my room with me…and it wasn’t a very big room to begin with. For me, I’m getting to do a lot of things for the very first time and I have enjoyed this process and getting to pick out a nursery!
Here is what I’m going for

Pink Walls and Gray Accents
Gray Walls and Purple Accents
Gray Walls and Pink Accents
 I really like the gray walls I think it makes the rooms look more elegant and not SO girly girly pink. I'm pretty sure that's what color I'm going to pain the room. At first I was leaning more toward the middle picture with the purple, but now i think i might accent the room with pink instead and just add a little purple with some pictures or something. Either way i think these rooms are a combination of exactly what i want!!
I haven’t bought anything yet and I think I am going to have to buy a few things and then repaint them to have them match what I want. I’ll post pics whenever I get it done but since I haven’t even begun it may be awhile. 

Here are some new pics of the pups!! The weather here has be BEAUTIFUL lately so on the weekends I have been enjoying sitting outside with Taylor and playing with them! 
 Can you spot the puppy? She's blending in this one!!!

 Tug-o-War!! Taylor vs. pups!!

   I STILL havent taken any more baby belly pictures so I really need to get on it! I want to be able to look back at all the changes I have been going through! I'll try to work on that this weekend even if its a humpty frumpty picture taken in my pj's!! Till then I hope everyone has a wonderful and beautiful March!!
