Pregnancy update + life happenings

Fall update: another season almost through 

Well it's been awhile since I've posted. A lot has happened. Here is my current bump situation and the last 6 weeks. I have certainly grown.(life sometimes gets in the way) 18-23 weeks

We have celebrated a wedding welcoming a new cousin and mourned the loss of our sweet grandmother Lucy.

My best friend welcomed her second bundle of joy another one of Sawyer's Bffs. She is perfect. The best part about holding her and having baby fever is that I will have my very own in a few short months.

There has been so much going on I feel like I haven't had a moment to take in the FACT I'm 24 weeks which means we are 3 1/2 months away from holding our baby boy. We are over half way and it's starting to sink in. 

20-21 week appointment: Sawyer was a little stubborn and didn't want any part of the picture process. He was not shy about spreading his long legs and confirming his manhood. (Haha) let's be honest it was relieving to know you were still a little guy and we didn't have to make any returns. They estimated you at about a pound which was a little over the average but I know it's just an estimate. We aren't expecting a little baby anyways since your daddy and I were well rounded babies. Nothing wrong with that. It just means there is more of you to love.

Sickness: I finally feel like the nausea/sickness is completely gone (around 22weeks). I am still taking my Diclegis at night because after a few horrible days of skipping I was at a downward spiral again. I was ordered more pills and got the OK from the nurse. I am planning on stopping very soon. I am getting up regularly in the middle of the night and I finally purchased a pregnancy pillow to hopefully help my ribs and back. The aches started at 19 weeks and still very apparent as soon as I lay down. Yoshi sure approves of the extra cushion. Thank goodness for our king size bed because this pillow is like adding a third person. 

Body changes: I have finally put on weight for all the people telling me how little or tiny I am you're welcome. To be honest I'm proud of my little bump and I'm sure by the end I'll be wishing I was still hearing how tiny I am. I finally have an appetite but no serious cravings. I am eating anything spicy while I can. I know I'll miss it later.

Movement: I felt you move at 16 weeks but I felt strong kicks at 19. You are a strong kicker and your daddy felt you the same week. He insisted that he reads to you regularly since you hear my voice all day. It melts my heart.

Nursery (Coming soon..): It is completely painted and all furniture has been assembled. (A huge thank you to my in-laws) I'm in love. It has became my little art project and by far my favorite room in our home. It feels like Christmas with all these packages arriving in the mail. I get so excited for each and every delivery. I constantly check the tracking throughout the day. It is about 80 percent complete. I can't wait to show off the final result. Here is my newest addition. 

The days and months are flying by. We read to you each night and talk about how much our life will change for the better. You are our missing piece. I can't wait to meet you. Just keep growing and kicking me like you do. We love you so much already all 1-2 lbs of you).

XOXO

Your soon to be mommy
