Geez...something is cramping mystyle..literally.

I should be prepping for a meeting, but everything is a little delayed this morning so I thought Id take the time to share my sorrows. I feel like I am having the worst cramps ever! Something is seriously killing me like in my lower right abdomen area!!! Please make it go away. It did it all night, and all morning. I am very much annoyed and I dont know what it is. They say that cramping is normal and what not, because it is like your uterous stretching etc. Which I do believe, its just that for goodness sakes, it feels like someone has plagued me with cramps during the one time in my life I shouldnt be having any!! haha. Hopefully, they will go away today.

On a happy note, the baby is up and moving about bright and early this morning and was up late last night. Its so funny to wake up in the middle of the night and feel someone poking around on your belly. And then to remember it is someone inside your belly! haha.

Oh and I almost forgot. Last night we were just chilling, watching tv or something, about to go to sleep, and seriously the baby kicked so hard , it made me raise up off the couch. hahahahaha. It was like it went through my entire body. Very strange feeling, but very cool at the same time. Well I have a meeting so I best be on my way.

Peas-

Pictures of me the day I turned 6 months. haha

I almost forgot. We went bowling for Abby's birthday on Friday night and I took a few pictures. Just for my documentation purposes, this was on January 26th, the day I turned 6 months. I am a dork I know. But hey I gotta do what I gotta do to keep it all straight so Ill remember. :):)Anyways, the pics are of me and some of my favorite people. I am not really sure why Seth is making that face! haha.

Trying to get started on the bedding...or just something!

Over the last week or so I have kinda started getting stressed about the whole nursery thing. I mean I know it does not need to be completed at this very moment, but it would be nice to at least have it as a work in progress, instead of the junk room at my house. Currently the nursery is housing- Seth's turntables, a bunch of junk we have no where else to put in the house including a few unpacked boxes of picture frames and what not, and an old couch of Seth's from college that has tunred into Sages favorite chilling spot by the window. She is obsessed with it, and I really dont know what I am going to do when I have to move it out. My little girl needs a place to relax and see outside!!!

That is besides the point! We still have bought nothing or even begun to get going on that room. So this weekend Dawn came over and we went to the fabric store to try and pick out something for the bedding. My mom is going to sew all of it, which I am so excited about!!! Cause I know it will be perfect and turn out just like I wanted! That said, I just have to find the fabric, or she will have nothing to start with. We found a couple of cute patterns at this store in Bryant though and I think we will end up getting them. They are supposed to be getting in a few more roles of fabric on wednesday so I am going to wait and check those out. But we are most likely going to get the ones we picked out on Saturday! Dawn is like a gift from God when it comes to that kind of stuff. Its like I saw all of these awesome fabrics, but then she walks into the store and its like she finds all these great ones that go together and she tells me no with some that i thought I wanted. haha. She is soo good! I dont know what i would do without her.

We took a couple of samples home and we showed them to Seth and he seemed to like them. I dont think he is real keen on being responsible for any of that! But I am making him be in on some of it whether he wants to or not. haha. I will take some pictures on Wednesday when I go back to the store and Ill post em so everyone can see. :)

Now on another note, I have a doctors appointment on wednesday and it will be my last time to go to Elizabeth before I move on to another doc. She is just too far out in Jacksonville compared to where we live, so I am changing to UAMS to a doc I dont know much about. Which kinda scares me, but I think it will be okay!

As far as the baby, he is doing great as far as I can tell. He is so active in there it is crazy!! All day, I can feel him rolling around , doing who knows what. But it must be fun, cause sometimes it feels like he is going to kick through my stomach! For real. At night, when I lay down, I can feel just kick kick kick all in one place like right below my belly button, and then all of the sudden, there will be some movements over on one side or the other. So I think he has enough room for right now, but who knows! The emails I get weekly said that he should be about 11 inches long now! How crazy is that, that means he is already over half his length! Its so cool. And he finally has some skin. haha. My friend Steph has been conserned about that for a few months now. haha. Well I guess I need to go. Love you all!

Here is a comparison!

Okay so the first is 20 weeks and the second is 23 weeks. I dont know. I think it is cool to compare em! :) The old one is a little better I think, cause the one from earlier in the week isnt as from the side. But Ill take more and we can compare those in a couple of weeks. :) :)

stress marks...seth seth seth....

right. in the middle of my trying to explain to Seth last night how I did not want to get any stretch marks during this pregnacy, which is one of the reasons I have been working out every freaking day...so I wont stretch!!!! He turns back to me and tells me that I need to stop STRESSING or else my STRESS marks are going to get worse!!! Okay now seth comon. Help a girl out.

You would think I am kidding. No I am not. My boyfriend thinks that I am going to get stress marks if I keep stressing out over all these little things, including the "stress marks" if I dont quit. So needless to say he has not read the little book I bought him, about what your significant other is going through this month during the pregnancy. I actually wonder if he has even opened the thing since I gave it to him. I think he might have glanced at it the first week, but hello that was like 3 months ago. Geez what have I gotten myself into?? That boy!

Anyways, on a lighter note, as you can see I have included another picture for all you peeps to see. It is from this week, so me at 23 weeks!! I am actually 6 months today if you can believe it. Anyways I was trying to keep the same shirt on for every month picture so you could really see me grow! But now I am wondering how long it will actually fit cause its not a maternity shirt! Well enjoy the pics and everybody keep praying for a healthy happy baby! So far so good and we hope to keep it that way! These days he appears to be pretty content, kicking and moving around all day, but not too insanley. so that is good! Love you all!

itchy itchy itchy....

man my freaking belly is itching so bad!!!! How random, it totally just started last night! ANd now all of the sudden, my belly is so so itchy I can hardly stand it! I am just sitting here at my desk, scratching myself like around my belly button. I am sure I look like a monkey or something. haha. I mean I rerad that your skin would be dry, but mine really hasnt at all yet, so I of course thought that I would not have to mess with that, and would have perfect skin the whole way through!Right! Well no! It is so annoying. I wonder if I can take Benadryl? Hmm I need to look that up, or call Ali.

Oh and to top all that off, for a moment I was looking at my belly and I thought that I detected a stretch mark. This seriously could be the begining of the end! haha. I mean it doesnt really look like a stretch mark, its more like a little line across my belly, but I certainly do not want any! that is one thing I have not prepared myself for in the least little bit. Okay that is all, I needed to share.

Have a great day!
