This is a picture of Tavis and I at a friends wedding. It turned out pretty well, I just wish Tav had his sunglasses off! Oh well....when do the professional pictures I'll be sure those are left behind :)


Swim Class


I just got back from my very first prenatal swim class. It is called Tsunami Mommies and I LOVED it! It was a bit of work, but nothing too intense, and I cannot wait to go back again. I am hoping to make it class every Wednesday and Friday - so hopefully my work schedule will allow for it :)


Today is the 31 Week 3 Days mark as well, and overall I am still feeling really good! I do get tired at night, but my days have been fine and I have been feeling Davin move around like crazy. I am loving his every movement and each day makes us more anxious to meet him!!!!

Baby Shower!

I had the first of two baby showers today and it was wonderful! Thanks to my family and friends - you know who you are - it was the perfect day :) The weather was warm and sunny and the company was so much fun. I really really enjoyed my day! Not to mention the gifts were so much fun to open as well.....we got sooo much stuff!! The crazy thing is there is still so much we need!
Tavis got to see it all when he came home and he loves it all. We are both getting so excited to meet him and every day it is becoming more and more real that we will soon be parents. We love you Davin!!!

Labor & Delivery Classes

We just finished our 3rd labor and delivery class and have another 2 or 3 left. There are about 10 other couples in the class and so the class is pretty full. The teacher's name is Kate and she is wonderful. We are enjoying the "lessons" so far and find each class fairly informational. So far we have discussed several aspects of labor, from contractions to breathing techniques. Last night we learned a few massage techniques and our partners had to perform them on us for practice....it was great!! I loved every minute of it :) Tavis was a good sport too and I think he had fun learning what to do as well. As a reward I returned the favor when we got home and gave him a massage on his neck and shoulders, so he was a happy guy!

25 Weeks!!





Holy cow! I cannot believe I am already half way thru my pregnancy! It is just amazing!! My belly feels like it is growing everyday - it is definately very obvious that I am pregnant now! I am starting to really feel him move around now and it is really neat. Tavis has been able to feel him a few times now too, so that is very cool for both of us.
Everyone keeps asking me how I am doing and honestly, this pregnancy has been wonderful to me so far. I did not know what to expect, but it has been great, and I sure hope it keeps going that way!

Well, I had a doctors appointment this morning.....
The doctor told me that the ultrasound results/pics all came back that the baby is doing really well and growing just like he should be. As for me though, I gained 7lbs over the last 4 weeks! Hahaha!! I asked if that was something I should be concerned about and he said "No, not at all." Thank goodness! He said at this stage - mid pregnancy - there is almost always a spike in weight gain due to the rapid growth of the baby. So I should begin to steadily gain weight from this point forward. I am actually not worried about it at all, as I have gained only 15lbs so far - which I think is pretty dang good considering all I have been eating! I just cannot seem to get full...it is rather frustrating!
On another note - Tav felt our son move for the first time last night! It was very exciting for both of us, and made me a bit teary-eyed. Now he gets to share in all the fun movements!! I cannot wait for him to grow even bigger and stronger so we can watch him move around :) So far this pregnancy has been so much fun!!

It's a BOY!!!!!

Oh wow! We had our ultrasound today and found out that yes, its true, we are having a boy!!!! The ultrasound picture is not the best, but I will post it anyways. The printer was all messed up and the tech did not give us any picture besides the one of his....you know.....penis. But I guess thats the important one! :) We did get to see all his other organs too, and he is perfect! Everything is where it should be, and he has all his fingers and toes. That is always reassuring to know!!
So many of you have told me from day one that we were having a boy.....and I had no intuition at all.....so you were right! We are SUPER excited!
I asked Tav if he was going to go out and buy his son a quad now, and he said "No" - phew! Haha :) We are both ready to start shopping a picking things out for his room, so that should be lots of fun.
For me, it has made this pregnancy more real....I know my belly has been growing and I feel him more and more everyday, but now its just more real. I don't know, its hard to explain. And now, we just cannot wait to meet him!!

Photobucket

This pic is pretty much of his "manhood". Haha :) He is laying on his back, with his head (not showing) on the left. That centipede looking thing is his spine, and his stomach is the large mass above that. You cannot see his legs or arms, but they really are there! His penis is that upside-down ice cream cone looking thing near the middle of the picture. Like I said - not the best picture, but its a picture none the less. Hope you all can figure it out!!

Ultrasound Scheduled!

We went to our routine doctors appointment today hoping that the doctor would do an ultrasound just because. But no, no ultrasound :( However, we are scheduled for one on June 19th, so hopefully the baby won't have its legs crossed so we can find out what we are having!!
We did get to hear the heartbeat though, and the baby sounded great with a rate of 151. The heartrate has always been above 150 - and according to the myths, heartrates over 150 ususally tend to be girls....so we will see!!
