25 Weeks!

It's been an eventful two weeks! We had my baby shower which was wonderful and it was great to have so many friends and family travel to be there! I also had my fetal echocardiogram which came back normal- yea! I've developed a heart murmur so my echo will be next week... hopefully all goes well there, too.

I now have to see the OB every 2 weeks so I'm pretty inundated with doctor appointments but as long as everything is going well I don't mind.

Here are some pictures from the baby shower:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I'm 23 weeks this week and definitely feeling the additional weight. We picked up the crib and dresser last Wednesday so that is exciting but I haven't adjusted to the crowding from the new furniture. This weekend (3/15/14) Rob felt the baby move for the first time. I think I was more excited than he was! Otherwise, I'm just feeling very tired. I have been trying to do prenatal yoga but it's hard when I'm so exhausted!

Baby Carr's Sex Reveal!

 

Special thanks to Sarah G. for taking the pictures and Aimee N. for video taping it!

18 Weeks!

I figured I should post an update- I think superstition has kept me from putting very much out there. Here is my 18 week bump! I felt the first little nudges and flutters of movement on Sunday (2/16/14) and could not be more excited. I love feeling the little movements- it helps calm me down and know that there REALLY is a baby in there! This is my favorite maternity shirt- it says "I love you already." I have my anatomy scan in a week and am anxious to learn the sex of the baby. Rob doesn't want to find out so I am going to try to keep it a surprise for him. Otherwise, I am feeling much better (no more morning sickness!) but very tired. The kids at school are super excited and write notes to the baby on the whiteboard. I'll try to add pics later.
