5 month baby bump

I know I need to start taking more pics so I can document this little process and today is the day I started. Courtesy of Stephanie here is the first of the baby bump photos. So at 20 weeks or 5 months-whatever you wanna call it, here is one to start with. Thanks Steph!

Happy baby dancin and lovin from my girls

I am now certain that those "possibly gas bubbles" are my little baby movin around. :) I like to think of him more so dancin around in there, but either way, I am just glad I can tell what it is! It is one of the most randomn, awesome feelings though. All day long it just feels like someone is taking there fingers and walking across my belly and like below my belly button. Definitely a feeling I have never felt before, but I am so happy to be feeling it now!

So this weekend was a busy weekend. I did some projects around the house to try and take up some space on our gigantic walls! Which I did get some good stuff up, some canvases and I am already working on another little project, so that took up my Friday night, and then yesterday I got to kick it with my girls for Kristi's birthday. We went to lunch with about 16 girls or so and then had a surprise shin dig at Dawn's house. It was so much fun.

I, again, was the lone sober duckling, but I still had a great time chilling and catchin up with everyone. I know I keep saying it, but people, if you had any idea how amuzing it is to watch all your best friends get tipsy on mimosas and wine while you watch with a sober mind, you get many a laughs. haha. But I do love all my girls that were at lunch and thanks for the much appreciated tummy rubs and talking to the baby. He loves you all already I am sure of it! :)

Its really cool to see my friends get excited about the baby too! I kinda feel like I am the only one out of everyone and that I might be missing out on some good times with all of them, but still, I know it is going to be more special then anything when its all over. So it is all worth it. And the pic above is of some of my favorite girles, Dawn, Kristi, and Domi, showing me and the baby belly some love!

I just want some sleep

Okay so I dont know if I am just stressed, or if it is all the peeing or what, but I can not get a good night's sleep to save my life. I mean grant it that I do go to bed at like 9pm every night, and plan on sleeping till 7am. I know that is a long time, but I am so tired every night, I cant help but fall asleep that early. And I am so tired because I wake up every single hour. I dont get it. I just toss and turn the whole night, get up and pee every hour, and then toss and turn and catch a couple minutes sleep here and there. And to top it off, I see Seth and Sage there, both all cuddled up every single night like they are having the best sleep they have ever gotten. Whats up with that?

And sometimes I even try to be really excessive in my movements so that maybe someone will wake up with me in the middle of the night, but no such luck. My boyfriend and dog are so happy to be sleeping all snuggled up that my movements are the least of their worries. haha. I know I know, it is kinda funn, but for real, I just want to get a good nights sleep. :( Thats all.

I think we have movement!?!?!?

Well for the past week or so I have been trying to figure out if I can feel him moving around and kicking or if I am just telling myself that is him. To mea it is so hard to tell. I mean I think I feel like kicking -I guess that is what it is, but I am really not positive. I am torn between it being movemnet and me thinking that I might have gas. haha. Grose I know, but thats kinda what it feels like. Like maybe I have bubbles in my stomach or something. Okay I just wanted to share. Maybe Ill feel something more for sure soon. I sure hope so! Thats so freaking cool!Okay Im out, gotta work!

And......its a BOY!!!

Yay! By far the best moment of this pregnancy thing so far! Yesterday Seth and I went in for our 5 month check up, and with super high hopes of finding out what we were having. And Ill say it again and again this was definitely the best day ever!

We sat down in the room with the big machine and the doc came in. She squeezed all that blue jelly stuff on my tummy and plopped the thing right on it and there the baby was again. Just like last time I saw it, only this time a lot bigger. And not only looking like a little peanut! But looking like a real little baby! The arms and legs were so much longer than before and you could actually see the little handds and fingers and feet and toes.

She showed us all the cool stuff to let us know the baby was developing right, like the umbillical (sp) cord, and the line down the center of the head which showed that both sides of the brain had developed correctly, there was fluid in his stomach, which means that the baby knows how to suck-which is super cool, and there was fluid in the bladder, which means all that down there is working properly too! :) The she pointed out the eyes, nose and mouth and ears. All looking good!

And then we just kinda watched him play for a little while. We got to see him yawn, and was punching like crazy!! Kept putting his hands up like he was ready to fight-which I am still not certain if I am excited about that. haha. And then he was crossing his feet and then uncrossing them, and then crossing them, and then uncrossing them, it was so cute!!!! Then he started eating his hand and sucking on his thumb. Again like the cutest thing I have ever seen. So while he was busy doing all that, and basically just jumping all over the place-never stopping for one second, she started to look between his legs to see what he was!! And of course, he started putting his hands between his legs. haha. So she kept trying and trying, and still hand between the legs-like no, I dont want to show you yet. But finally the doc was like..ah there is the belly button, and that is definitly not a belly button! Its a boy for sure. SO then we knew, there was a little something extra in there. It was so cool. We were having a boy just like we wanted!!

Not that I would have been any less thrilled with a girl, but I have just felt this whole time like it was a boy! Of course Seth is so happy, I know this is what he preferred for sure! And I am so glad that he finally got to see the baby move around and everything. It makes it so much more real when you finally see it! It was super cool to watch him see the baby for the first time on there and movin around and what not. And not to mention that he is already telling his friends that ..at first they though there was something wrong, they thought the baby had three legs...but then they realized it was not another leg and that it was a boy..you know things like that. But hell, I guess this is the only time he can do that, so go right ahead seth! haha.

Well I have attached the pictures this time and they are not the best, but at least you can see what you need to. The top one is of the face and you can see the skeleton like head, eyes, nose, and mouth, and then the bottom one is of course showing his package! Thats what the arrow is pointing too. I think thats his little bottom and then the arrow just to confirm its a boy!

So there you have it. Again one of the best days of my life. I am so happy and words honeslty can not express what i am feeling. Its such a relief and a blessing now to say, its a boy, instead of its just a baby. I dont know, just really really cool. Oh and we got a VHS of the whole visit and Seth is turning it into a DVD today so Ill see what I can do about attaching it here when I get it back from him. LOve you all ! Peac-

New Years was a blast and Today is the day!

Well, I am happy to say I made it through New Years, with I think only one breakdown! Which of course was over the fact that I couldnt find anything to wear to go to a movie. So I am giving myself an A+ for effort, seeing as how I THINK I am finally getting over that little phase. At least I hope so. But like I was saying I made it through the New Year, and, I actually stayed up to celebrate at midnight. I was so proud of myself, because I think that is seriously the lastest I have stayed up in like 4 months. So way to go me.

Luckliy Seth was willing to tone it down a little bit this New Years and so were some of my great friends, so me Seth, Karla, Troy, Tommy, and Mandy all headed out to the Butcher Shop to eat some good food and then on to this Martini bar-that turned out to be pretty cool. But would have been a whole lot cooler had I been able to have a martini. But that is besides the point. :) we still had a great time and then just headed back to karla and troy's to kick it till the ball dropped. So I lasted till the count down, got a new years kiss, and that was pretty much it, because at that point was I was done. I was so tired. So we headed home around 1am and were in bed by 2. Which I can safely say is the most low key New year's i have had in a while. But it was all worth it, cause today is the day we find out what we are having!!!

I cant actually believe that it has already been 5 months and I will know in a few hours if there is a little girl or little boy we got growin in there. Haha. Seriously, so freaking excited I can not even explain it. I mean how many times go you get to find out something as cool as that in your life. me? Nothing this exciting has ever happened-at least not yet anyways. So, I am sure I will be givin most of ya'll out there a call to fill you in on what the word is! Yay! Okay well until then, I guess I will try and contain my excitement and get some work done. Please keep us in your thoughts, and lets just pray for a healthy baby still. As long as we have that i know I will be happy with any sex. Cant wait to tell you all the good news! Love you!
