What I am looking forward to: finding out the sex of our adorable baby

Milestone: This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.


and here are the pictures i promised to start posting, i took 6 ,9,12 then starting with 13 i will start doing every week.. not showing a ton, but starting too =) it will be fun to look back..

I cannot believe i am already 13 weeks.. Some say i'm officially in my second trimester others say this is my last week of my first . So we'll go with the last week one so i don't get ahead of myself =) I am so Anxious for everything to come.. We are creeping up on all the fun (expensive) things and i honestly cannot wait.. I want to buy white onsies and white burp rags and socks just so i can buy my baby something.. haha i can't believe we have less then 20 days till we find out what we are having..
oh and p.s i think i'm starting to show a little.. i will start posting pictures next week.. i started taking pictures at 6 wks then did 9wks then 12wks and now i will start doing everyweek.. yay

Maternity Clothes: my mom took me on shopping spree, and spoiled me rotten!! so i got tons and tons of pants, but shirts are pretty much hidieous right now, since i just have a baby belly

Sleep: uggh..this past weekend was HORRIBLE.. i get so HOT at night and uncomfortable, i pretty much can't sleep on my stomach anymore so that's been no good!!

What I miss: sleep.. i know i should get use to it, but i honestly think there is a difference between being able to sleep and can't and staying awake for a sweet sweet baby

Belly Button: looking normal

What I am looking forward to: our 14 week check up on the 27th.. and finding out the sex of precious baby

Milestone: Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now.

Babies heartbeat.. sweetest thing!!!

My sister shirley is 37 weeks pregnant and ready to pop.! today i was coloring her hair and she mentioned that i should come down and listen to baby fred's heartbeat.. She has a heart moniter for her little baby and she's a nurse so she knows what she's doing =) So i got all excited and me and bradon headed down there to find the little stinks heart beat.. Kd my neice wanted to be dr kimberlee so she put the jelly on my belly and tried to find it.. it was so cute.. we had a hard time finding it at first.. all we could hear was mine.. She pushed a little harder and bammm, there was the little stinks heartbeat.. it was so cool to hear.. i think it will always be on the back of my mind " am i really pregnant" even though we've already had over 5 positive pregnancys tests,seen the bean, and heard the heart beat twice now.. but its definatly cool to just be able to listen to it whenever.. we recorded it, but it won't let me post it on here.. booo.
thanks shirley for letting us hear the precious one!!

Stretch Marks: nothing new


Maternity Clothes: i've been living in sweats.. i need to go buy some cute pants though, cause i really think the belly is gonna pop soon..

Milestone: The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it.

Getting so big =)

Officially out of the 200's

Yup, its officially out of the 200's. We are down to 199 days left till the little munckin is born.. haha seems like forever, but to think that 81 days have already gone by and i'm 1/3 of the way done, and i don't even know the sex yet.. i have a great feeling that the rest of these 199 days are going to fly..


What we've been up to in baby planning world =)
We've gotten all the JuNk moved out of the babies room and wallpaper taken down and walls patched. Got the closet building up with clothes already, and hopefully today ( this week for sure ) we are going to prime the babies room so we can start taping off for the fun painting.. ( its a surprise so i can't say until its done )
As you can tell we are so excited and can't wait to find out the sex of the baby.. only 3 1/2 more weeks till we can go see what the little one is. =) hopefully baby coporates..

Can I just say how in love with this man I am.. I want the world to know how much he means to me.. Bradon is the BEST husband alive, and dad to our little fur babies.. He seriously will do ANYTHING for any of us and let me tell you that's the most amazing feeling to have ever.. Bradon is the calm one in our marraige, i get very worked up over little things people do/say and bradon will always let me vent to him and just get all my frustrations out. He is honestly the hardest worker ever.. Bradon's supervisors always tell him that he's the best employee they've ever had and that there so amazed with his work ethics.. I am so extremely lucky to have such a responsilbe,determined husband.. I can't wait till our little one comes , i know he will be the best daddy ever!!
I love you Bradon Phil! Thanks for truely being the best husband a girl could ask for!! I couldn't be more happy with our life!!

DoUbLe DiGiTs 10 Weeks!!

Yay we're in double digits now and only 3 more weeks till 2nd trimester!! We got to go see our little stink last Tuesday for the first time, and let me just say i was sooo nervous.. Just not ever knowing 100% sure you are pregnant and you do have a baby inside you always made me so nervous, so i was so excited for the ultra sound and to hear the little heart beat!! Our doctor is so amazing!! she gave such an amazing first impression which is huge.. We got the ultra sound and saw the little one ( literally so tiny) but baby is measuring right on track .. There is only one so that's definatly a plus and relieved us from daycare stress =) the heart beat was 168 which she said is awesome!! From what they say 140 and below is boy and 140 and above is girl .. so i keep teasing brady that he's going to have another little drama queen just like mommy =) This last week i have been feeling extra tired.. I feel like i am always on sleepy medicine, i can hardly keep my eyes open.. but no sickness, which let me tell ya has been amazing!!
But we are definatly excited to know 100% now that there is a little stink inside cooking and we're 1/4 the way done =)
