31 weeks!

Geez sorry for not posting for so long. Things have been crazy busy, and it makes time go by so fast!

We have officially bought a house in Texas, yes our original plan was to live in Oklahoma. But we found a house, fell in love with it.. and it makes us happy! :D And all in all, that's what matters!
I have gotten a job, YES at 31 weeks I have gotten a job. I have a good friend who is a manager at a book store, and she told me she would hire me and even give me 6 weeks of maternity leave. Anthony isn't working, and we don't plan on him working either. 1) because he is drawing disability.. so he doesn't need to work. 2) with me working, I'd much rather Hailey stay with him than at a daycare. So that is the plan for now :D

Our 4d ultrasound went good. We had one at 28 weeks, and she was stubborn and wouldn't move her hands from in front of her face. So thankfully they let us come back again at 29 weeks. We got lots of adorable little pictures. I can't wait to see her ! :D

As for us moving to Texas, that also means ANOTHER doctor change.. but we've already accomplished that.. and I'll get to make my next appointment next week. I can't believe before we know it, she's going to be here. Time has gone by so fast.. and I know it'll even go by quicker once she is here.

I gotta say a HUGE congrats to The Scroggins & Northcutts on both of their little bundle of joys arriving! :D

27 weeks!

I can't believe here I set at 27 weeks. Only 13 or less to go! :D We have scheduled our 4d ultrasound, and I can't wait to see her beautiful face!! Just 11 more days til we see her! Anthony already claims she has my nose.. haha! It's adorable how excited he gets whenever he feels her moving. I can't even explain his excitement about her, and/or my excitement to see him so excited!

Things outside of the Army are still going great! It's wonderful knowing that we don't have to go back.. and it's wonderful knowing that I'll never have to tell my husband "see you later" ever again. Plus not to mention, we're back home with all of our family.. they get to see the belly grow & will be here whenever Hailey is born! It's wonderful!

Doctor appointment wise, things are crazy. I had to find a new PCM (primary care manager) so I went to her. And then she will be referring me to an OB. I still have very little weight gain (only 5lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight) but I assume that's from me being so sick in the beginning. Plus, I'm sure I'm not gonna mind not gaining tons of weight, cause it will be less to lose! lol! As long as Hailey is fine, I'm good to go!

I'm getting so excited for my friend Jennifer. She's exactly 10 weeks ahead of me, and getting sooooo close to having Mikayla! I can't believe in just a few short months I'm gonna be in the SAME exact shoes! Good luck girl, love ya!

I'll have more updates I'm sure after my next appointment & ultrasound.

We're home!

& the big move is finally over! We're so happy to finally be home and out of the Army forever! :D Next is onto buying a house and setting it up and waiting for little Miss Hailey to arrive. Lately we've just been busy visiting family that we haven't seen. I can't believe that I hadn't seen my family in over a year, but it's so great to know that we don't ever have to leave again!

We're currently a little over 24 weeks pregnant. It amazes me every time I think that I'm this far along. I can't believe she will be here in approx 16 weeks! My baby shower is going to be the 1st or 2nd weekend of May, I'm getting so anxious for it. I haven't done my registry yet, there is only a few big things on there.. but I still have time. We're scheduling our 4d ultrasound for mid-March, around 28 weeks. We can't wait to see how much she has grown!

Other than that, not much is going on. I'm so happy to be home, and things are so much less stressful. The Army treated my husband great with his disability and we both have health insurance for life, along with all of our children will til the age of 18. So that is A LOT less stress about money! I finally got to meet my wonderful nephew who was born in August, he's such a handsome little man! It makes us even more anxious for Hailey to get here!

I'll update more whenever I can. Hope you all are great :D

IT'S A GIRL!

Yep, very much so a girl! We're so excited. Anthony of course was wanting a boy, but now that we know it's a girl, he's ecstatic! I knew he'd be just as happy if it was a girl.

Our appointment was great! We got to see Hailey on the big screen tv for a nice 30 minutes. She's absolutely beautiful! Thankfully she wasn't modest at all, and we were able to get a good butt shot to see that she was a girl! Her heartbeat was a nice 150 bpm.. so she's doing wonderful! We were able to see her brain, all 4 chambers of her heart, her stomach, her kidneys.. and of course all of her limbs!

We have decided to do a 4d once we are back home. We weren't wanting to, because we thought it would ruin the suspense. But we're excited to do one.. and have some of our family there with us. I found a place that does specials for $100 so that's awesome!

19 weeks.

*ALMOST 1/2 WAY DONE!! I had my 19 week checkup today, things are going great. My uterus is right where it needs to be (still a bit below my belly button) I'm finally putting weight back on, even though I'm not even to my pre-pregnancy weight yet. But soon enough! :] And the heartbeat was nice at 140-150.. beautiful! I even recorded it, so I can have it and share with all of you.

My ultrasound to find out what were having is right around the corner, just 6 more days! I'm TOTALLY not excited about drinking all that water, but what can ya do? lol I just hope the little nugget decides to spread the legs!

I'm starting to feel harder and harder kicks which sometimes catches me off guard! We were grocery shopping today, and I was talking to Anthony.. and out of the blue BAM! I was like.. holy cow! haha.. so not looking forward to those kicks up in the ribs. Ah!

That's really all that is going on, more updates when I have more going on!

And for your entertainment, my babies beautiful heartbeat! :]

18 weeks!

Wow, where has time gone. I can't believe that I'm already 18 weeks! It amazes me how quick time flies by! I love feeling little flutters in my belly, they aren't consistent yet.. but I can tell that baby likes certain foods! :]]

One more week til my 19 week check up, and two more weeks til we find out what the little nugget is!! :] We're so excited. & I'm so excited to tell everyone the name too!

It's getting closer & closer to time for us to find out when we'll be back home! Which is crazy exciting as well. I'm not looking forward to moving while pregnant, but I'm looking forward to being back home with our family & friends.

The New Year is bringing such great things. We can't wait to move, buy a house, start school, have our baby & start our family! Everything has fallen into place, and it's the most wonderful feeling. To think that this time last year, I was wondering if I'd ever have a baby.. and here we are almost 1/2 way done! It's an amazing feeling. I can't wait to be a mommy! :]

pictures.

I can't believe how big my belly is growing! It's amazing to watch! Here are some pictures, just to compare. :] It may not look big to someone else, but to me and Anthony.. it's getting huge.. lol! I haven't gained back all my weight yet still. Pre pregnancy I was 122, and I'm currently at 113. I'll gain it all back eventually though, no rushing!
