OH MY GOSH FRIENDS!!!
Didn't I just find out I was pregnant?! I seriously feel like it was last week that I started feeling her kick! Now I only have 13 weeks until my due date! At times I thought "this process is so slow" but it seriously went by so fast!
This week has been pretty good. Saturday afternoon I got to hang out with Tara, Donna, Kamdyn, and McKenna (Wife, mother, and daughters of Scott, Falls County's bass player). It was really fun! Then that night Falls County performed at Comanche Red River Casino and I got to see them! Daddy, Judy and Jennifer (my step-sister) were at the gig and I got to see them!
This week has been yet another week of trying to finish painting the nursery. We are so close to being done! I will post a picture when it is done!
Tuesday I went walking with Katie! Well first we spent about half an hour talking about baby names, then we walked a mile at the track! We had to dodge junior high kids that apparently hang out at the track but we walked and talked and had a great time; then went back to her house and talked more about baby names! After that walk I must say I need to walk more often because as I was walking my back was killing me and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning. Oddly I had no problem with my back the next morning but my hips were killing me!
Last night I had the chance to spend some time with my friend Paige. I haven't had "Paige Time" in over a year just because of our busy schedules. We went to Graham and had supper and watched The Woman In Black. *No spoilers* I liked the movie although I am not sure I liked the ending. It wasn't what I was expecting and it was quite bitter-sweet. Over all the night was great! We seriously talked the whole time we were together, even during the movie, and I thought the older couple sitting in front of us was going to turn around and yell at us for talking to Daniel Radcliffe!
Okay enough about my week here you go!
Week 27 Update:
Baby Size: 14-15" -I am only doing crown to feet measurements now.
Visual Changes in Mama: As Matt said yesterday: "It looks like I swallowed a medium pumpkin". So there you go, a visual from the husband!
Symptoms: I have been getting really out of breath lately. I got short of breath just separating laundry!
Craving: I have been wanting strawberries a lot lately. Also earlier in the week I couldn't get enough peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!
Fun Facts: **Baby's vascular system can handle oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange and the brain stem can regulate breathing as well as basil body temperature. At this point in a healthy pregnancy if a baby is born premature it can survive although the baby will spend quite a bit of time in the ICU.
** I got this info from Baby Gaga.

Blah at 26 Weeks
Well friends,
Not too much to report. This week has been a bit BLAH. I have been feeling a little down this week. I think it's because I feel like I am just in a rut. I have been in sweats and tee shirts for the most part of the week and have been super tired this week. We still can't decide on a name for her, although we have cut our list down to 2 names(a plus I guess).
In better news: We did start painting the baby's room and I love the colors! I will post a picture when we are done. Also family and friends have been sending/bringing over little gifts! I love all the bows I have gotten so far!
Baby has been moving a lot this week! I love feeling her! She has gotten so long that she pushed against my side a couple inches above my hip bone and kicks about an inch under my belly button. It is weird and amazing! Earlier in the week, Matt had his head in my lap reading to her and she kicked him in the jaw! The look on his face was hilarious! I can't wait to see what other neat things that she will do as she grows.
Week 26 Update:
Baby Size: 9+" head to rump, 14+" head to feet
Visual Changes in Mama: Getting bigger and bigger each week!
Symptoms: Mood swings... not too bad but I can feel them
Cravings: Still craving Parkway and Olive Garden
Fun Facts: Eyelids can now open! Baby now has control over head movements and Brain tissue and neurons are developing at a very quick pace.

25 Weeks
So friends,
I don't know if the baby is having a growth spurt but I have been so hungry this week!
I went to the doctor on Monday and everything looked good. The baby had a heart rate of 157 bpm. I also had my gestational diabetes screening. The test wasn't as bad as I was led to believe. The only person I talked to that made me feel like it wasn't too bad was my S.I.L. Amber. I actually had a choice between flavors (orange or fruit punch) and I chose fruit punch. It seriously tasted like too sweet Hawaiian Punch. I didn't have anyone to drive me around after I drank the drink so I had to stay at the lab for an hour and then they drew my blood. I am really glad I had that particular lab tech because he is my favorite! For those wondering about the no driving rule LabCorp sets, it is because some people have a reaction to the drink where they black out, pass out, or vomit. If you vomit you have to come in another day to retake the test.
I got my results back on Tuesday and they were good. I don't have to take the 3 hour screening based on the results! I get to have another sono at my appointment next month and I can't wait!
Week 25 Update:
Baby size: about 9" crown to rump or about 13.5" crown to feet.
Visual Changes in Mama: My belly button is getting less deep!
Symptoms: No difference from last week.
Cravings: I really want Parkway cheese sticks or Olive Garden
Fun Facts: Capillaries are forming and filling with blood. Baby's nostrils are beginning to open and vocal cords are forming and can cause hiccups!

Quick 24 Week Post!
So Friends,
This is going to be a very quick and probably short post! So here we go!
I have felt quite good this week. I have had energy and have been cleaning and trying to find places to put all of the things from the music/baby's room. I am currently in the process of packing as we have a weekend away planned! Matt has a gig in Abilene tonight (Friday), then Saturday morning we are heading to Slaton for a baby shower, and then spending Saturday evening and most of Sunday with Eric, Jamie, and Baby Wes in Lubbock! It's going to be great!
Oh we also got the crib in and put together. Matt is one to want to put things together to make sure nothing is broken and I am one to want to put things together to see how awesome they are! LOL! So here is a picture of the crib!
We got the crib at Sears and are incredibly happy with it! It is so beautiful!
Week 24 Update:
Baby Size: About 8-1/2" (head to rump) or 12 to 13" (head to feet)
Visual Changes in Mama: Not much change from last week really. At least not that I have noticed!
Symptoms: Same ol' milk problem (haven't had a chance to get lactose free)
Cravings: Fruits, Veggies, Fro-Yo, and garlic bread/sticks
Fun Facts: Baby pretty much looks how they will when they are born, just a bit more wrinkly and thinner. In the next months the baby will fill out and get longer! If the baby has any hair this week, the hair has no pigment!
This is going to be a very quick and probably short post! So here we go!
