Don't Worry, Still Pregnant

She's 5 days late.

It's not THAT bad. Of course I'm ready to be done. Aren't all pregnant women done at week 38-39? But I'm not going crazy...yet. Ask me if we're still here at 10 days late or maybe even by tomorrow I will have cracked. For now we are still waiting and that's ok.

11 days til we're due

Getting closer...feeling good!

Haven't come to a final decision on name. We like the following 3. Thoughts? Additions? We'd love to hear 'em!

We're going PINK!

Doctor's Orders

At my last appointment, I told my doctor that I wasn't going to be able to have him deliver my 2nd child because of our changing adventures. We were both very sad about it. He is the best doctor and I'm sad to leave him. He told me that he didn't want to send me out the door without knowing if my baby was a boy or girl so he was scheduling me for an ultrasound at my next visit. He said technology is so good now that is really is pretty accurate this early. So, that means on Friday we will be finding out the sex of our baby!!!

I'm so excited...what do you think? Another cute boy or our first little girl?

We're Excited!

Our family definitely thinks 2 is better than 1

We're excited to welcome another cute baby into our family this September!

Baby Shower & 39 Weeks

We're still here at 39 weeks!




I had my baby shower last Saturday. My sister-in-law Kaylee hosted the party and it was very fun!

And I thought this was a baby bump....

This is the first time I took a picture of my tummy....at 5 weeks! Ha...there is nothing there! I mean seriously; i look amazing. Will I ever be that skinny again? Oh I think so...I'm going to loose this baby bump that I really have now. The question is when....


On a very happy note----One of my best friends had her baby yesterday. Kellie gave birth to a beautiful little girl. I haven't gotten a confirmation on name or anything but I'm so happy for her...and all the more excited to have my own too!

No news has to be good news...right?

Well there isn't much to update about the pregnancy. I am still at 1cm and nothing much is happening. But I was ok to hear that since my husband was out of town until today. Now...it's ok if he wants to come but I'm content to have him wait another week or so. We did have an ultrasound and he's looking to be about 7.5 pounds. Maybe I don't want him in there too much longer otherwise he'll be nearing the 9 pound mark (ahhhh). It's just a waiting game now but he's healthy and I'm happy!

38 Weeks

Wow...I look like a baloon. And I feel like a hippo. The memories I will have forever. I have a doctor's appointment today...hopefully I've progressed from 1 cm which was last week. But not too much...I would like him to wait another 2 weeks. That's when Grandma Facer will be here! Werid...my mom as "Grandma Facer". So exciting though. I'll update about the appointment later!

32 Weeks

I'm getting bigger, He's getting bigger, and we're getting closer to the due date. I am so excited. I really can't wait. I love that the appointments are now two weeks apart, I love that yesterday I finally figured out where his head, feet, and little bum is, I even love that he moves so much that it makes me sick to my stomache. It all means that I have a healthy baby boy.

Besides all of the happy stuff, I am more uncomfortable, I have a harder time sleeping, even maternity clothes are getting tighter. It's great though. Really great.

The Double Digits

We are in the 3rd trimester....and we are out of the 3 digit countdown and working towards the singles!

Everything about the pregnancy is going great. My little wiggler just doesn't stop wiggling. He loves to move...especially right before I want to go to sleep. Little sinker! Well, this is me at 26 weeks.

Picture Updates

The last picture I posted was me at 5 weeks. This is me at 20 weeks.



We bought a crib, I love it!





Here is Shelby just 2 weeks ago.

Our First Born

We couldn't be more excited!

20 Weeks

HALF WAY!!! Yay. I am now to the middle marker in my pregnancy. I'm not sure if I can wait any longer.

A few things to note...

The baby is kicking all the time. David can't feel it yet but hopefully in the next little while.

I have now gained back enough weight after losing 10 lbs in the first trimester and I am the same as when I ran the Boulder Bolder in May.

Friday is the day when we find out boy or girl. Majority both on my blog poll and the family survey suggest we are going pink.

I have to buy maternity clothes soon. It's like overnight, I just popped.

I bought a crib. So cute but I'm still painting the nursery so it's not set up yet.

Anyway, things are great. I go online or to various stores multiple times a week and look at baby stuff. I just can't get enough.

New..new...new

It's all new!


So I never really understood how many firsts there are being pregnant with number 1. I don't hate pregnancy, some of it is pretty crappy but it's more joyous so all that is outweighed. I finally feel stable in the nausea department. I sometimes feel a little fatigued but it's not the same as the "morning sickness" stuff. For me morning was the wrong word. All day would be a better way to say my round of nausea. I also get dizzy and am super tired...like rubbing my eyes like a little kid tired. Every afternoon I try to take a nap because if I don't I can't pick myself up after 7pm. Anyway, here are my new pregnancy things:

Hating food. even now, beginning my 5th month, I hate food.

Eating way less than I ever have before. Apparently we have a chunker as a baby, I have no room for my stomache to expand.

Completely zero desire to put makeup on or really wear anything but basketball shorts and a tee

A constant stuffy/runny nose. Seriously, all the time

No ability to hold off on bathroom trips

Going up the stairs is my Mount Everest. I'm huffing at the top.

Bloodhound super smell. I can smell everything and most of the time; it's disgusting

Dreams are real. I wake up and I can recount every detail almost perfectly. They are so vivid and ridiculously strange.

My tummy pokes out. I have never looked this stomache heavy in my life and I love the excuse. It's been nice for me though (I don't think I show that much for how far I am) I fit into every pair of shorts and jeans. But I still poke out a little.



I really like the new stuff. I can't wait for more to come; the first kicking, when we find out boy or girl, and of course the day of the arrival. So fun
