Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! The only reason I like Halloween, is it means that it is almost November 1st and that means CHRISTMAS MUSIC! No, I do not wait for Thanksgiving, Grinch! To be honest, I've already started listing to Christmas music...I just love it and so does the baby so lay off :)

We are doing great! I'm super hungry (like super super super hungry), and trying to avoid Halloween Candy (just so I can save room for pumpkin pie and Christmas cookies...lets be honest here). Other than that, no big updates. There have been a few times that I thought maybe I was feeling the baby move, but not sure. I think in the next few weeks I will be. Our next appointment is on November 14th, so we'll have more pictures then!

It's A Girl!

YAY!! Last night, Chris was talking to my belly, explaining to the baby that she better cooperate so that we can find out the sex. He also told her that she better be a girl! Good thing he was right!! We couldn't be happier. She is looking healthy, heart rate at 158, and both the nurse and ultrasound tech said that she had a great and strong heartbeat. She's measuring at 16 weeks 6 days (so a couple days ahead!) I am also healthy, little weight gain yet and everything else also looked good. The little worm was wiggling all around and waiving! We are so in love! Now we have to start talking names...we were so set on Cullen Mullen...

Baby Registry!

Wow! I'm 4 months pregnant! How crazy! The time has gone by both slow and fast. I hope the rest of it continues to fly by! I'm just so excited to meet this little guy (or girl!). This weekend, we registered at Babies R Us. It was super overwhelming! They give you a long list, with everything you "need" and I already felt the lady thinking I was going to be bad mother when I laughed at getting a wipe warmer (really? we live in Savannah!). Anyway, we took our friend Ali (mother of 2!) with us to help us figure out what we really need and don't need. I think we came up with a pretty good list! Check it out! http://www.toysrus.com/registry/search/index.jsp?_flowExecutionKey=_c72D60C1E-4FE6-A24B-9751-0BABA7DCC8E6_k47DF29EC-614B-D270-3E65-6C666AF9A236&overrideStore=TRUS

Feeling Great!

I'm totally loving the second trimester right now! I feel so good, that I told Chris that I can't possibly be pregnant. He just took one look at my stomach, and said he is pretty sure I am! It has popped a bit! I'll be sure to take pictures soon. I just got back from NACADA (and academic advising conference) in Denver. I got to visit my best friend Grace, which was also awesome. It is so pretty there, but between the pregnancy and high altitude breathing was not exactly easy!

Anyways, I've been starting to look at bedding and nursery themes (let's be honest, I'm not so good at this). But here is what I've like so far, feel free to give opinions!

I Can Sleep!

So, sleeping has been a little bit restless lately (and yes, I know all of your previous pregnant ladies out there, it only gets worse). Even Chris commented that I was moving around a lot, and he sleeps pretty soundly! Last night I broke out the pregnancy pillow (THANK YOU ALLY!). This thing is AMAZING! I do feel a little bad that it has replaced Chris and I will no longer need to cuddle ever again, but I slept so well! Only got up one time to got the the bathroom. That has to be a new pregnancy record. YAY!

Oh..but from this picture, I i was using it upside down...opps.

Another post, Oh My!

Ok, this will just be a short update, not too much to say! I had my second appointment today(with my actual doctor). Everything is looking good. Baby's heartbeat is 170 and strong. Dr. Hull said the little girl or guy was moving around a lot! It's so freaking cool to hear! I'm doing well too, everything is where it should be. I still haven't gained any weight, which I guess is good because Dr. Hull told me today that I should expect to gain 15-20 pounds total. I feel like I can gain 15 pounds in a weekend! Haha, well this will help me to keep eating right and exercising. And I guess limiting ice cream to once a week (ok, ok twice a week...)

Maternity Clothes, Here I Come!

Ok, ok most of my clothes still fit. And maybe it is true that this is just an excuse to not feel guilty about buying some new clothes. In my defense, there were on sale AND free shipping! Over the last year I've lost a bit of weight, and went down a dress size or two. This means that I have a whole wardrobe that is a size bigger than what I wear. This has been great for my budding curves, since all of these clothes still fit, and most are even a little big. However, they are just not comfortable. I can't explain it, I just don't feel right in them. So I broke down and ordered some new clothes. Just two pairs of pants (pants seem to be the bigger issue) and a shirt. Yay for new clothes!

In other news, my cold is like 95% better, which I'm very, very happy about. I'm still feeling pretty good, other than being super sleepy. I'm hoping to get a little more energy soon, especially before I leave for Denver! Too bad that's only a week away....send me good vibes!
