22 Weeks

I feel like my pregnancy has been really fast! I hope it stays like that with the weather getting warmer. Last summer here in Texas was miserable. I would so rather be in dry Arizona than humid Texas! This past week i had enough energy to go to the gym 3 times, Go me! On Tuesday we went to Uncle Julio's for dinner with some friends from church.. OMGEE they have the BEST steak fajitas in the world! They came with sour cream, cheese, guacamole, rice, it was so good. I have been there before o LONG time ago when we came to TX for a family vacation. It was so nice to get out of the house and spend time with friends, They also are having a baby girl, she is due at the beginning of June!

Also this week i went to a few jobs with Jared, I get bored sitting at home. One job was like an hour and half away in a cute little town. People in Texas are just so nice! Friday night we had an etiquette dinner with the youth at church. We were like the chaperon's, they kids were paired up with "dates" we had two couples at our table, We just made sure the conversation kept going and everything was appropriate, and of course no elbows on the table, pulled out the girls chair, Jared talked about how they eat in England. It was cute to see the boys try to do it. ( They eat with a fork and knife, It's weird to me) They did an Italian theme so the gym was all decorated nice and fancy. We had alot of food. Fruit Salad, a Green Salad, Lasagna, Dinner Rolls and....CHOCOLATE CAKE with ICE CREAM! I think Emma was in a food coma after that dinner! hehehe 

So after dinner the kids had a dance, for us grown ups though it was a show! It was so funny. Someone brought there X-Box Connect and a project and hooked them up and they play the "Just dance" game. Very smart, they made it so everyone could dance to it. 

Emma is as long as a...

Spaghetti Squash 

about 10.5 to 11.8 inches and weighs about 12.7 to 20.8 ounces. 

 Now that she's got more developed eyes and lips, she's looking even more like a newborn.

Her's sleeping in cycles -- about 12 to 14 hours per day (hint: they're probably those times you're not feeling any kicks!).

 I get scared when i don't feel her moving so i drink something cold or move my belly so i can feel her. When she is awake though man can she kick or punch, It doesn't hurt but dang baby!

This Wednesday we get to go to Mesa for a wedding! Were so excited!! Not excited about our flight times though, but it's worth it! We get to see all of our good friends! I figured i would start some reading scene i'll have some time this month with 2 plane rides so i went to the library and got "My Sister's Keeper" It is a big book and i'm not much of a reader but i want to watch the movie so i thought i would read the book first.

My project for the week was a skirt! I found some cute fabric at Joanna's, On sale! So in the bump picture is the skirt i made.=] It was the first time i made a skirt with out my mom! It turned out pretty good, i think.

Picture was taken 22 weeks 3 days (after church)

It's growing!! I think my belly button is gonna come out, well pop out.

My skirt is gray and white.

I get to see my bestest friend in the whole wide world my sister and my amazing parents sooon!!! I'm very excited. I'll be at there house for a week!

I hope you all have a great week!!

21 Weeks 4 day.

Well this past week has not been very fun, My allergies are kickin my butt!! We went and got a humidifier it has help, along with some Claritin. FUN FACT: Did you know that if you use a humidifier for a baby it needs to be cool mist. So that is the one we got, that way if little girl needs it we have it. When Jared was in Colorado i was able to get out of the apartment and do some window shopping. I wanted a new skirt but they are all super short. not my style. On Wednesday Night i had to pick up Jared from the airport...I was totally fine tell i had a stinkin detour!! Think goodness there were detour signs cause my phone was dying and Jared had the tom tom. I made it there safely just at the wrong gate. I was so so happy that Jared was home and safe! He learned alot and is now a Hunter Douglas Certified Installer! If you need some blinds just call us!! hehe

Little Emma, has been moving so much. She makes it so uncomfortable to sit and sleep sometimes. Sleep is not an easy thing for me right now. I am always so hot at night and for some reason little girl likes to kick me and do acrobats in me as soon as i lay down! Not fun. Not to mention with my allergies i have to get up and blow my nose. And i'm now getting up two times to use the bathroom in the mid of the night.....

I was able to get my wooden blocks done this week they are super cute. I painted them red, coral and added scrapbook paper which is yellow with polka dots...super uper cute!

It's hard to see in the picture but the polka dots on the letters match the colors PERFECTLY! 

Little Emma is the size of a......

Holy cow!! I think she might be a bit bigger than this though.

At 10.5 inches and about 12.2 ounces

As her digestive system preps for the outside world, she's manufacturing meconium -- the tarry black substance we will find in her first dirty diaper...ew!

 she's already got a lifetime's supply of eggs in her womb -- about six million of them...WOW

When we were at Target a lady and me kinda bumped into each other, of course i said sorry she said no no it's okay, Lady with a baby!! It makes me feel good to know that i really do look pregnant!!

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL week.

Half Way

20 Weeks 4 days.

We went to our first Rangers game, it was so much fun, traffic though was HORRIBLE!!They were playing the Mariners so I really want to go.(being from Washington) Jared and I had never been to another stadium other than BOB in Phoenix, so it was nice and different. Our seats were pretty high up but we could see everything going on. And it was DOLLAR HOT DOG NIGHT! I had to get one. Don’t worry it was steaming HOT. It was better than I had ever remembered! The game was kind of slow but during the 7^th inning we got 2 home runs! They let off fire works every time we got a homerun. Awesome!!   

We also went and got registered at Target for Baby. It was SO much fun. There are so many cute cute things. We found this little skirt we wanted to put on it but no price tag, so we bought it! That was our first purchase of anything baby. My mom got a nail clippers and a nose sucker, a boppy, and a super cute giraffe onesie. I can’t wait tell we get into a 2 bedroom so we can put all her things up! I’m so excited to be having a little girl.

Jared has his class this week, in Colorado, so he drove to the airport this morning and I had to drive home...I did great! I HATE driving in Texas especially on the highway, I've only done it now two times. When we moved here and this morning. I didn't even have an anxiety attack!!

This is the skirt we got. It's so tiny

Little Emma is the size of a Cantaloupe.

 She is about 10.2 ounces and measures about 6.5 inches. 

She's still got a lot of growing to do.

She's got working taste buds.

she's gulping down several ounces of amniotic fluid each day -significantly more than before.

She has been moving ALOT this week. Jared finally felt her this weekend!!!I was so happy i cried. I cry over everything now though. 

I went to Hobby Lobby and got some wood blocks i'm going to paint and put letters on, I'm very excited about it. I love being crafty!!

The lady that did the sonogram was really nice and funny. She has been doing this for 20 years and has only been wrong 2 times...she said it was a 95% its a girl. It was so cool to see the baby, she yawned and was moving her little arms around. I made sure to eat some chocolate and OJ to wake her little butt up!!

WEDNESDAY is the BIG DAY

Well this week started out CRAZY! On Tuesday Jared and I were out at the grocery store, when we went in it was raining. We didn't think much of it.Well all of the sudden we hear hail hitting the roof, it sounded like grapefruit size hail! So we ran up to the front of the store to see what was going on outside, the hail was like golf ball size!! So we decided we need to hurry, were in the back of the store and i hear the tornado alarms go off!!! Well we get out of the store and are driving home, there is like no cars on the road, we parked under our covered parking and got inside. That was by far one of the scariest things! They don't have that in Arizona! I'm so glad Jared was home cause i think i would have just cried the whole time. There was i think( the last time i watched the news) there was 13 tornadoes total. We are so glad nothing happen here in Carrollton. Later when the rain stopped we went out to dinner and checked for dents, we got 3 dents =[ 

This was when we got home so it had melted a bit.

This week also....i saw a baby snake by our front door, EEK!! I hate snakes! Jared and I also went to Bahama Bucks again, i think we might be addicted. On Friday we went to an Easter Celebration that our church put on, it was BEAUTIFUL! The choir sang so many amazing songs. After there was some DELICIOUS cupcakes. I love me some sweet food.

Jared and I are so excited for this Wednesday!! He tells me stop thinking about it so the time goes by faster! That is SO hard to do. I see all these cute things on Pinterest that i want to do, and i cant...YET. My mom is having the same problem, she is making Baby Watson a quilt and can't finish it tell we know if its a boy or girl!

Baby Watson is the size of a Mango

about 6.0 inches long and weighing in at about 8.5 ounces

Developing a protective coating over the skin, called vernix caseosa. It's greasy and white.

Working on the five senses. Nerve cells for baby's sense of taste, hearing, sight and smell are developing in 
baby's brain.

How far along? 19 weeks 4 days
Total weight gain/loss: well i'm back to my pre-baby weight, But its all belly. I think this is the last time we see this question.
Maternity clothes? No, My regular clothes are working great, jeans are still a bit baggy
Sleep:  I have not been sleeping well at all, i was up 2-3 times every night this week with pain or going to the bathroom.
Best moment this week: Some one at church came up to me and said"I didn't know you were pregnant"....I'm starting to look pregnant!!!!!!
Miss Anything? this week, no.
Movement: This baby knows how to kick and punch! Jared still cant feel it though.
Food cravings: Banana Bread, which i ended up making for the first time, yum!

Anything making you queasy or sick: If i think to much about my food, i can't eat it.

Have you started to show yet: still just a little bump
Gender prediction: Girl.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On, still a bit loose.
