BOY oh BOY!

Well, we found out it's a BOY! I am so excited!! It took a little while for me to warm up to the whole idea since I always imagined having a girl, but I am now super excited and can't imagine any different! We are so blessed! Just think, another little Travis running around....kind of scary! The lady at the ultrasound moved my due date up 6 days, but the doctor said to go back to my original date. So, Grayson William is still due on August 5!

This week my family came to visit and we had a blast. My sister (who is due about a week before me) and I finally got to compare bellies! I can't put into words what a special week it was for us. I can't imagine not being pregnant at the same time as her. God's perfect timing was (and still is) at hand.

We did tons of shopping this week...I did some major damage! I never knew there were so many cute things for boys! Grayson will be one well-dressed little man! I also finally picked out my bedding set (for good this time!). I'm doing orange and blue with a beach theme. Here is what I have so far, but instead of the espresso furniture I decided to do white. And the chair will be either taupe, brown, or orange...not the green you see here!

19 weeks

Not too much to write this week....I think I'm just waiting for the weekend already! Too bad the week hasn't even begun! This Wednesday I'll be 20 weeks (halfway there!) and Friday we find out the sex. Saturday my parents come in and I will get to tell them in person! So, there's a lot going on this weekend!

I really can't wait for the ultrasound, especially since I haven't felt the baby move for days. There for awhile I was feeling him/her move almost all the time everyday and now...nothing. I'm hoping the baby has just turned so he/she's kicking me in the back so I can't feel it like I was. Please pray that everything goes well and that we have a happy, healthy baby! I will be sharing the news with everyone soon! Blue or pink???

18 weeks!

Feeling pretty good this week so far, despite some minor heartburn and back/hip pain. Unfortunately, I had to give up my 3 tubs of pineapple a week for peaches because it was making the heartburn even worse! I definitely have a little belly now and there's no mistaking I'm pregnant. Now all the moms at work are commenting, whereas before they were asking with a scared look on their face.

My sister finds out Tuesday what she is having and we find out two Fridays after! I'm so excited! I can't wait! Then two weeks after that I will be halfway through with this pregnancy, which is a crazy thought to me! It seems like it has really flown by but I know the last trimester in hot Florida might seem a little long!

I've been feeling the baby move for about a week now, which is pretty fun. I can just imagine him/her bouncing around in there and using my bladder as a trampoline! At least that's what it feels like! Well, no real new news, just wanted to update everyone! This week the baby is the size of a sweet potato, about 5 1/2 inches long! Still scared about two weeks from now...cantaloupe! yikes!

My current super-cute baby obsession - a baby's first year frame from PBK. Thinking about making it myself to save $, but not sure where to start:

17 weeks

Feeling pretty good this week....just very tired all the time! I'm getting very antsy about knowing the sex of the baby! We find out March 20! yea!!!! But we won't be telling anyone until the night of the 21st after I tell my family. They will be in town so I get to tell them in person! I found an oh-so-cute way to tell them, I just can't wait!

So far the names we've picked are Avery for a girl and Grayson William for a boy. Of course, we still may change our minds, so these are still tentative! We have yet to come up with a middle name for Avery, any ideas? Nothing really new to share, just getting bigger and bigger and less and less comfortable. I'm having quite a bit of back pain, but nothing I can't handle so far.

I've been a little stressed about Travis' training and when/where we will be living in a few months, but I'm trying not to jump to any conclusions. Travis said we should know a little more in about a month or so. I'm thinking I may be moving home for a few months and I'm excited about it but also a little apprehensive about where I'm giving birth to this baby of mine. A few prayers for peace-of-mind are always appreciated! I will let everyone know more as we know more, but right now everything is up in the air!
