27 Weeks! Christmas is coming!!!

Bubba you are getting so big!! My back has been hurting from the weight of the baby. It is getting harder to work on the ambulance with all the bending and lifting.  But overall I have been really blessed with just how easy this pregnancy has been.  I have still been able to continue my heavy work schedule to be able to get the money saved that I need to have time off with him later. I am extremely greatful for that.  (Now watch I probably jinxed myself!)

He is a sneaky little baby!  He moves and kicks so much all the time, then my mom tries to feel him move and he will stop. Or he will kick just above or below her hand.  I started having braxton-hicks contractions and it is funny becuase right after the first one he like stretched.  I could feel him at the top and the bottom of my stomach. "Stop squishing me!"  It was really funny. He got the hiccups once too.  I am just in awe every moment at what my body is doing.  I cannot believe how wonderful pregnancy is and how the whole things is just like magic.  I am getting nervous and very excited about the next part....actually having to push him out.  It probably wont seem so magical then... :)

I am fairly sure that I know what his name is going to be.  I have had several that I have liked. But this one feels different.  I am not going to share it with people until he is born.  That way it is just mine until I know for sure that is who he is supposed to be when I see him.  I am so excited!!!  If he was born today (HEAVEN FORBID!!!!) he would have a 85-90% chance of surviving, and the odds grow every day.  With that being said, Bubba please stay put until you are all cooked and supposed to be here! 

Christmas is in two days!! I am so ready and excited!!! Yay for family time!

Engaged!

NO NOT ME!! NO WAY NO HOW!!!

My little sister is engaged to her boyfriend Colton Savage.  We pretty much all expected it, though perhaps not this soon........

Well Bubba I guess you will get a new uncle.  They said you can be the ring bearer and get a tiny tiny tuxedo! So excited!!

25 Weeks!

Dear Bubba,

I had a doctors appt. today. He saws you are growing well and no problems.  After next appointment at the beginning of January we are going to start going every other week instead of once a month.  It is coming faster and faster and faster!!! I just cant believe how big you are getting.  I think I really look pregnant now!

I love you to the moon and back.

Love, Mommy

Thanksgiving!

I sure had a good time for Thanksgiving with my family.  I cannot wait until next year when I get to have my little boy here to share it with.  It was at my parents house this year, just our family, Colton, and grandma and grandpa J.  It was very relaxing. 

Dear Bubba,

I can't wait to meet you.  You get bigger and stronger every day.  Don't forget mommy loves you to the moon and back!

Love, Mommy

Finished finished finished!!!!

Dear Bubba,

            You Are getting so strong! I can feel you kick all the time.  Sometimes it is a funny feeling, like tickles.  Sometimes it is like bubbles popping.  I love feeling you move and wiggle around.  You are more active in the afternoon/early evening than you are in the morning. 

            Exciting things have been happening.  I am completely finished with school. I just have to wait for December 15^th and I am officially graduated! Yay! I finished student teaching on Tuesday and I promised the kids that I would send a picture of you to Mr. Huxford after you are born.  I bet they will think you are super cute!!

I have been thinking a lot about names lately. I have one that I really like, but I am not sure if that is who you are going to be until you are actually born and I see your face.  But Michael will be your middle name for sure. After your grandpa.  He is a great role model for you Bubba.

I love you to the moon and back!

Love Mommy

22 weeks!!!

I am getting bigger and bigger!

Over halfway!!!

Dear Peanut,

            I have been thinking about you constantly, but of course you ensure that by being so wiggly.  I love feeling you move. It is wonderful.  We are over halfway now.  As I listened to your heartbeat last night I think it was really the first time I have let myself dream about you.  I have been so scared to before because I never really know if you were going to stay.  I am still scared of loosing you but it is getting so much closer to reality.  You are getting so big and strong.  Only 4.5 more months and I will get to meet you.  Please continue to grow and be strong.  I love you so much. More than words.

            I love you to the moon and back.

Love, Mommy
