Since this is our first baby, I have tried to be an avid picture taker of the adventures we've had during this time. Sad to say, I haven't done great. But I fo have some pictures and decided to put these last 7 months into a nutshell. So here goes : )
well it all started on september 14 when our pregnancy test said positive! so then we had to announce or exciting news.
the weeks went by and slowly but surely my tummy started getting a little bit bigger.
14 weeks
15 weeks
16 weeks
We got to see our little baby when I was about 18 weeks pregnant. It was such an awesome experience and we found out we'd be having a baby girl!
It was also at 18 weeks when I felt her move for the first time! It was what I had been waiting for... and it was so cool. I definitely teared up on that one : )
20 weeks we got to spend celebrating christmas and new years with our family here in Houston.
James and I on new years
At 21 weeks I went on a cheerleading trip to Dallas, TX for a cheer competition. These are my fellow cheer coaches.
22 weeks
23 weeks I threw a baby shower for my bestest friend Erin (with the help of my mother in law of course!) Our other friend Jamie, who is a couple weeks behind me, was there also.
The three of us... bellies and all ; )
24 weeks
26 weeks I had my 24th birthday! I'm starting to feel old! I went to dinner with my mother in law and sister in law because James was working. But James brought me lunch and I was surprised with flowers and balloons from some of my students. It was a very good birthday.
I flew to California when I was 28 weeks and had my first baby shower! It was so great! I got ro see a lot of good family friends that I grew up with, and even a few special friends from high school! But I must admit, I was also extremely happy to hit up a few local favorites - In n' out and Tito's Tacos mmmmmmmm!
At 29 weeks we had another cheer trip to San Antonio for our last competition, we got first place! The girls did awesome!
Now at 30 weeks, I only have 10 more to go until we meet our daughter. We are getting very anxious and excited! My pregnancy has been fairly easy, even until now. My only complaint would be the swelling that my hands and feet decided to start doing just recently.
Later this week I will be flying to Utah for my second baby shower with most of my extended family. I am soooooo excited! So that will definitely be the next blog update.
