Tim, my mom and I just got back from a weekend at the in-law's house. We had a very nice weekend just relaxing, talking, and playing cards. This will probably be the last trip since I'm 6 months along now. With it being my first pregnancy and it not being that great, I worry about traveling away from my doctors after 7 months.
At my last appointment, the doctor measured my stomach (uterus) and said it was right on time. Sometimes I feel like I'm not big enough but other days I feel huge. It's funny.
The other day I saw my stomach actually move for the first time and yesterday Tim finally caught little Cooper moving with his hand. Before it seemed every time Tim touched my stomach, he would stop moving. Silly boy.
The baby shower is set for Feb. 16! I can't believe it. I'll be 32 1/2 weeks along then. And it's right before Tim & I's 3rd wedding anniversary :)
It's a few days late, but here's a 24 week update:
Cravings: It varies, but I still love Pepsi.
Baby size: About 12 inches long and a little over a pound!
Happy Things: seeing my belly move & Tim feeling him
Sad things/Worries: not too much right now
Weight Gain: 14 lbs.
Aches and Pains: Headaches, tired
Mood: moody
Movement: he's all over the place, it's getting stronger
Maternity clothes? yep
Sleep: Having trouble falling asleep, hips hurting some

22 weeks, on the other side
I don't remember if I wrote about feeling down or not but it seems to be getting a little better. I had a good cry the other night and honestly, I think that helped. I've been having trouble getting to sleep though. I'm uncomfortable, my mind races....So instead of laying there tossing and turning tonight I'm just staying up. Luckily, I'm working evenings now so I don't have to get up early.
Baby boy is moving more and more every day. And I feel like I've grown a lot in the past couple of weeks.
We're getting our Christmas tree this weekend! I'm so excited. It will be here before we know it and it will be 2013. WOW. So far this pregnancy has flown. I have a feeling that after the holidays, it will all slow down. Dun, Dun, Dun....haha.
Here's my 22 week update:
Cravings: Still hooked on orange juice and pickles and Pepsi although I don't drink that often.
Baby size: About 11 inches long, and 15 oz. (average) Almost a pound!
Happy Things: more & more movement
Sad things/Worries: just being down
Weight Gain: 12 lbs.
Aches and Pains: Headaches, starting to swell, had to take off my wedding rings
Mood: grouchy, down
Movement: more during the day now
Maternity clothes? yep
Sleep: This week has been rough for falling asleep

That really grinds my gears...part 1
Since becoming pregnant, my hormones have made me more open and less the one who bites her tongue. So here are some things that really BUG me! Don't be hurt.
1. Hashtags on facebook. If they linked to subjects like on twitter, I would be totally okay with it. THEY DON'T! It's just a bunch of words running together with a pound sign in front of it. Yeah. Go tweet.
2. Unsolicited advice. Becoming pregnant brings this on even worse than normal. If I want your advice, I'll ask. Just because this is my first child, doesn't mean I'm ignorant. Some things I know nothing about and I do ask people.
3. Bad grammar. This has always been a pet peeve of mine. I realize everyone isn't great at English, but basic spelling and grammar isn't that difficult. I don't expect you to be a scholar or a writer. Take five minutes and learn the difference between your and you're.
Oddly, that is all I can think of right now. Expect more later.

Cheese & pickles
Since I'm not always the best about posting frequently, I thought this would be a good time. I was laying in bed almost asleep when my stomach knocked. So here I am. I got out the crackers, a block of cheddar cheese and a pickle. Great midnight snack huh? I figure it could be worse.
I find it funny that as soon as I get comfortable in bed, I start to feel the little kicks. I'm ready for bed and little Cooper is up & moving.
So next time you're up at midnight, can't sleep and hungry, grab some cheese, crackers and pickles. And Claussen are the only pickles you should eat. Yum.

Our precious baby BOY!
Today I am 20 weeks 6 days. Tomorrow 21 weeks. Wowza, time is flying. And my belly is growing.
Everyone who is reading this probably knows, but Baby Baldwin is a boy and his name will be Cooper Grant. The name I have loved since before I was pregnant. My mom, Tim & I were all a little shocked at the ultrasound because I think we all expected girl. But honestly, we're thrilled. Everything was perfect. His measurements were good, his little heart was beating away, and he was wiggling a lot. It took the technician a good 15-20 minutes to get a shot between the legs because he was crouched down with his legs crossed. Thank God she was determined to find the sex :)
Within the last few days, Cooper has been moving quite a bit. I even felt him kick on the outside with my hand a couple of days ago. Tim hasn't been able to catch him yet though. But we both talk to him calling him by name. Feeling his movements are the most wonderful thing I can ever imagine. He seems to be most active at night when I lay in bed.
We finally were able to visit Tim's parents this past weekend. Mom B loved hearing Cooper's heartbeat with the doppler. She is just thrilled like the rest of us. Alan is hanging in there. Prayers always needed for him and the family. He was able to hear the heartbeat as well.
Well, here is a 21 week question update...Until next time...
Cravings: Still hooked on orange juice and pickles, different things on different days as well
Baby size: The length of a banana, about 10.5 ounces
Happy Things: feeling movement, buying his first outfit
Sad things/Worries: when Sadie jumped on my stomach, my father in law
Weight Gain: 10 lbs.
Aches and Pains: Headaches, starting to swell a little
Mood: Pretty happy most of the time, some mood swings
Movement: getting more and more active
Maternity clothes? more and more each day
Sleep: Getting more comfortable on my side

Blah, exhaustion
Well, here I am, 18 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Wow. Things are getting more exciting. I had felt a few flutters and then the other night I decided to use my doppler. I love hearing that beautiful heartbeat. I put the doppler on my belly and just a few seconds later. KICK! I definitely felt that. Baby doesn't like to be bothered apparently :) So if I want to feel the baby, use the doppler. He/she moves a bunch. I now feel some movement when I lay down at night too. It's amazing.
I'm feeling pretty weak lately. Yesterday at work I got so weak and lightheaded that I called the doctor. They asked me to come in and did some blood work. She said my symptoms could be normal but with my history of anemia, it could be back. I'm not awaiting my doctor's call for results. I almost hope it's my iron so it's something I can fix. Blah, so exhausted.
Here's an 18 week update:
Cravings: Still orange juice & pickles (only claussen)
Baby size: Bell pepper
Happy Things: feeling movement
Sad things/Worries: my exhaustion, iron levels
Weight Gain: 8 lbs. eek!
Aches and Pains: Headaches
Mood: Pretty happy most of the time, some mood swings
Movement: a definitely kick and flutters
Maternity clothes? yep, but still loving my sweatpants too :)
Sleep: Getting a little uncomfortable, but sleeping as much as I can.
11 days until boy/girl!!

Blue, pink, yellow, green....
I went to visit my OB today. Tim had to work, but my mom went along. I'm still holding at only a 3 lb. weight gain. The baby's heartbeat was strong at 158. It's beautiful every time I hear it. I could listen to it all the time. I got a flu shot, which hurt! Ouch! Pregnant women are at a high risk. I usually get a flu shot though and I definitely don't want to get sick while pregnant.
One of the first questions I asked the Dr. was..So when do we get to find out the sex? In 5 weeks, November 20! Time is flying by so I know that it will be here before we know it. I had feelings that it was a girl, and then feelings that it's a boy. Who knows, right?
I know it's early but I started a Target registry. I, of course, just signed up, didn't put anything on it. I know everything flies by, but I'm just so excited. I found some gender-neutral Winnie the Pooh bedding that I really like. I've also found some different things that I may have a friend paint on the nursery wall. I plan to decide on that once we find out the sex.
Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm a horrible blogger
I've been terrible at keeping up with us lately. I'm now 13 weeks 4 days pregnant and in my 2nd trimester. Our first ultrasound went great. The little one was growing perfectly, had a strong heartbeat of 178 and even wiggled a little. My next appt. is Oct. 15. I will be half way at the end of November so sometime then we should find out the sex! Time really is flying by.
I'm mostly writing tonight because I'm missing my daddy badly. My heart breaks every time I think of having the baby and him not being there. I know that I'm emotional due to hormones, but when I lost daddy one of my first thoughts was that he wouldn't be here for my children. I know he is watching over all of us and I believe he has already met our child. But, it still hurts. It always will.
I will try to be better at this whole blogging thing. Here is a 13 week update.
Cravings: Orange Juice, can't get enough.
Baby size: medium shrimp hehe
Happy Things: hearing the heartbeat with my doppler :) Tim starting his job!
Sad things/Worries: Just missing my daddy, other than that, things are good.
Weight Gain: Still hanging at 3 pounds!
Aches and Pains: Nausea has worn down a lot, but still have it some
Mood: Pretty happy most of the time
Movement: I have felt a few flutters that I'm sure are baby!
Maternity clothes? I've started wearing jeans some, but sweat pants/yoga pants and t-shirts are also my best friend
Sleep: Still sleeping a lot.

Nervous/Excited..oh my gosh
Well, tomorrow is the big day. It's ultrasound day. I will be 9 weeks 5 days so the little one might actually look like a baby :)
I've been so sick the past week. While it sucks, having symptoms and lots of them, makes me feel better about the baby being okay. I've even read that women with morning sickness (haha, more like all day) are way less likely to ya know, that ugly M word. In addition to my nausea and vomiting, I've had a lot of stretching in my stomach this week. My body is really preparing for this baby. It's amazing. Even when I'm laying on the couch holding my stomach and feeling like I'm going to lose my lunch, I feel blessed.
I just can't wait to see our little gummy bear in less than 12 hours. Will update tomorrow :)

Loving it
8 weeks
Cravings: Pepsi (caffeine free), pickles, and just plain hungry!
Happy Things: Enjoying my tiny little bump.
Sad things/Worries: Just normal pregnancy worry and struggling with my anxiety. And I've got a cold this week :(
Weight Gain: 3 pounds
Aches and Pains: Just headaches, really and if you know me and my chronic headaches, they have actually lessened since I got pregnant. Sometimes hormones work on your side!
Mood: Pretty happy most of the time even when I'm crying haha
Movement: It won't be there for a while.
Sleep: It's a big part of life these days, but I figure I better get sleep while I can.
It seems like yesterday we were at the beach on vacation and I found out we were going to have a baby and now here I am, 2 months along. I'm so happy. I have these feeling that it's going to be a girl. Maybe it's mother's intuition or just hope, who knows? My mom on the other hand, thinks it might be twins! Which is totally possible since it's my generation and my daddy was a twin. My cousin Jennifer had twins and is the only one in our generation so far. Honestly the thought scares the crap out of me.
Only a week and a half until our first ultrasound. I'm nervous and so excited to see the heartbeat. It will be a relief even though I'll still be in the 1st trimester.

7 weeks :)
Three weeks ago, my life changed as the second line on the pregnancy test popped up. I called Tim in, and asked if he saw what I saw. He did. I think we both were shocked that it was there. We were happy, but it takes a bit to sink in.
I can't explain what I felt then and the following days. But those of you who are mothers will completely understand. Probably since I was 18, maybe younger, I've known I wanted to be a mother. It's just something I knew. I love children, especially babies. And when Tim & I began dating and talking seriously, we talked about how we'd one day have children. Now 2 1/2 years of marriage later, here we are with a baby on the way.
After the at home pregnancy test confirmed, I went to the dr. to confirm. Then a week later, I visited the new OB I would be seeing. They took some blood, gave me some paperwork and talked about the pregnancy a little. I knew it was too early for an ultrasound, but when the Dr. said it would be another 4 weeks, I was anxious. She changed my anti-anxiety medication to something that is safe during pregnancy. This is something I am currently dealing with managing. I want what is best for our child, but I have to take care of myself to take care of the baby. I am only bringing this up because prayers are definitely appreciated during this time.
Our first ultrasound is now 2 1/2 weeks away. I already have a small bump and my pants are tight, which honestly I enjoy :) I'm exhausted and don't always feel well, but I'm very happy. I'm ready to enjoy every step of this journey and share it along the way. I'll be posting pictures soon.

Our first ultrasound is now 2 1/2 weeks away. I already have a small bump and my pants are tight, which honestly I enjoy :) I'm exhausted and don't always feel well, but I'm very happy. I'm ready to enjoy every step of this journey and share it along the way. I'll be posting pictures soon.
