16 week ultra sound

It's a BOY!!!

  

The arrow helps, I had no idea what I was looking at until she added that in there, but that definitely points to a boy! The ultra sound tech said she'd bet the farm on it.

Kinda scary... Can you see the eyes? and the forehead? and he already has a nice round belly!  He must get that from his daddy;)

 An arm and a leg! At least we know he has one of each!

And his cute little feet!  This was a hard one to get a shot of, he kept moving around.

18 weeks

Wow that flew by!..  I missed a couple weeks but no worries 16 and 17 were pretty much the same :)

Total Weight Gain: 7 pounds! Oh gosh...  that seems like so many and I'm not even half way...

Maternity Clothes?: Yes! Well Jeans, a must!

Stretch Marks?: Nope!  You'll know they showed up when this question disappears...
Sleep: I could sleep all day! but then when I go to sleep at night... I wake up and think about all the things I need to do or monsters and the grudge. Thats always good.

Best Moment This Week: We found out it's a boy!!! We are super excited:)  I work at a hospital so I got a sneak peek.  Our favorite name right now is David Teancum Taylor.

Movement: YES! finally! I love it:)  Devin can't feel it yet but I think that should be soon!  Sometimes it really catches me off guard and I don't know whether to be excited or nervous that there is something growing in there!

Food Cravings: Still with the apples. Apple anything, especially if they are a little sour like how a apple tastes when you pick it right off the tree. Mmm mm. and cereal, I could eat cereal allll day long, preferably apple jacks;)  

Anything make you sick?: Nothing too noticeable this week... sometimes I have no appetite and then sometimes I eat twice as much as Devin!

Happy or Moody? Happy!  except the ridiculous tender heart I have, anything could make me cry and sometimes it does... I know I'm pathetic but it could be worse right?  

Excited for?: Feeling more movement!  and having it be a regular thing:)

9 week Ultra Sound!

I totally forgot to include this in one of my last posts so here's this!  We'll have some updated ones shortly:)  These are a month and a half old..

Uncles and Aunts all around.

I sent my family a little treasure hunt package telling them they were gonna be Uncles! and my mom videoed it!  It's really cute, except my sister was at young women's camp.. But she already knew anyways:)  After they were done, my little brother Isaac said "So now everyone's an Uncle! Uncle Nate, Uncle Joe, Uncle Mom... " haha

Too fun!

Week 15

Baby Update

We are at Week 15!

Total Weight Gain: 1 pound! 

Maternity Clothes?: Mmm I did get some maternity jeans but they are still much too big, I'm just excited!  and I just wear a white tee shirt with a baggy tank top over, because for right now it just looks like I ate a thanksgiving feast for lunch...

Stretch Marks:None, yet... knock on wood. 

Sleep: I dread sleeping... everything hurts when I lie down. and I usually wake up around 2 or 3 feeling like I'm gonna puke.

Best Moment This Week: I actually am noticing a bump now! And it's always fun talking about names. Devin likes Tiberius.. I told him we could get a German Shepard and name him Tiberius :) We definitely like the name David and Teancum, so we've put them together for a David Teancum Taylor, manly right? I like it.  Girl wise.. we've got, Calli. Haha it's still a work in progress.

Movement: Mmm I swear I feel something sometimes but nothing very noticeable yet.

Food Cravings: Apples! in every shape and form, applesauce, apple juice, apple flavored things, or just cut up and dipped in yogurt. anything else is just very random like the other day we had waffles for breakfast and I seriously ate 9 waffles... I couldn't get enough! and we occasionally run to the store to get things. This week it was for sherbet and sprite, and reeces puffs cereal:) 

Anything make you sick?: Hamburger... I can only eat a little or nothing.. and avocado textured things..

Happy or Moody? Happy! I think:) maybe Dev would tell you other things.. but I do get emotional for silly things like we went and saw Brave.. aw that was a tear jerker for me:) and just those save this homeless puppy commercials... they get me crying too easily..

Excited for?: Finding out if it's a boy or girl! then we can start planning more things:)  and we really need to move...

Our Family Will Be Growing By 2 Feet!

On June 22, while I was in Utah for my Army AT, I decided to take a pregnancy test and I was really calm not worried at all I just didn't really think it was the answer...  My friend Ilse, she's in my unit, went with me to purchase the test and... the thing said I was half pregnant?  Why did I buy the cheap ones???  the ones that get either one or two lines, one means you're not prego and two means you are! I had one line really show up and other one not so much... in this moment I just NEEDED to know. So I took another, and another, and same deal, half ways in between. 

                                          

                                                       Like so...  

See! That second line is barely there... What was I supposed to think? So I sent a picture this picture to one of my good friends who has done this a few times and all she said was "Congratulations!!".  I was terrified! But then I went and told Devin and he made it all better, then I was excited cause he was excited:) He is going to be a wonderful Daddy. I told my mom first of course, so I got her a little treat and then I folded up a piece of paper and wrote Congratulations on it and I wrote Grandma on the inside:) She got it. And she cried but she has definitely had the most fun telling people and being excited to be the latest and greatest young mother of a daughter who is pregnant:) This is number 19 I believe for Devin's parents so he said he didn't need to do anything fun and he just told them.. he's a party pooper sometimes..  And I haven't been very good about spillin' the beans to anyone else so.. surprise!  Baby Taylor due February 22, 2013 and we should be finding out if its a boy or girl in 2 or 3 weeks at our halfway mark!
