27 Weeks!

We are in the last week of the 2nd trimester! We're getting close! EEeeek!!

My legs and feet are getting tired faster. I'm sure it's partly because I'm getting further into my pregnancy, but I've also gained a bunch of weight! I won't share, it's too embarrassing! I just hope after Addison is born, I'll have the motivation to get back into shape. Not being able to afford a gym membership is definitely going to put a damper on that aspect....especially having a baby in the dead of winter!

Anyway...we have our next doctors appointment on Friday. We have our glucose testing (for real) this time. Hopefully I can eat somewhat well this week and pass that test!

She's still kicking around like crazy! Brian and I woke up at 4am one day this week and he got to feel her kicking around. He said that it felt like she was running a race in my tummy! Sometimes she gets really crazy in there! I wonder if that's any indication of what she's going to be like outside of my tummy....

Onto the photos this week!

 I'm starting to loose sight of my feet....

Next week starts the count down of the home stretch! 

26 Weeks!

It was a busy weekend & week so far!

We put the crib together on Sunday and barely had enough time to do grocery shopping. Monday we had our breastfeeding class...so we finally had time yesterday to take a quick picture!

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving! We get to see our family, get to have our 3D/4D ultrasound, and it's baby shower time!!!

Anyway...Addison seems to be doing well...she's kicking away!

Here's this weeks' picture....don't judge...the batteries were going dead so we only got one shot!

25 Weeks

I just saw my whole stomach do the wave as baby girl was moving around....it's so cool!

We have a name!

Addison Marie Wilson :)

We had be talking about the name Addison and I really liked it. Brian did too, but he sat on it for a while. This past week we talked about middle names to see if that would solidify it. We finally agreed on Addison Marie!

I've been super tired this week...my body is trying to fight off getting a cold...I think with that and the Addison growing...it makes for one tired mama!

Onto the the belly pics!

Not much change...

Go Eagles!

24 weeks!

24 weeks! I like the number 24...it's my 2nd favorite number!

We had a doctors appointment on Friday. I thought I was having the glucose test, but I guess I'm having it next time! It was just a regular old appointment. Baby is still doing great! 

I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable at times. My belly is stretching and growing. I'm also having some pains in my ribs when I sit down too long. I know I have 16 more weeks to go...so I better not start complaining now! 

I've pretty much decided on a name, but Brian isn't ready to commit to it yet. I really wish he was! I love the name that we have been talking about! 

Onto the photo shoot ;)

I have 3 this week..I couldn't choose...

                                                            Brian was being silly...

                                             I think this one makes my belly look a little bigger...

                                                         And then there was this one....

Maybe at 25 weeks we'll have a name....?!

23 Weeks!

I almost posted yesterday.

Then I realized that I put 22 weeks on the board...and my hair was a hot mess...so we decided to do a redo today!

Some of my family has pitched in to get our crib! It's been ordered and it's on it's way! Yey!!

We have another doctors appointment this Friday. I think this might be the glucose testing?...but I'm not positive.

I'm super tired and really looking forward to relaxing...so I'm keeping this one short and sweet!

Here's this week....                                                                And last week....

                     And another one from this week...cause I couldn't decided which on I liked better

Not a huge change...but I feel like she's moving up and moving in!

Overwhelmed

Is it normal to start feeling completely overwhelmed at this point in pregnancy?

I'm about 4 months away from meeting my little girl and I'm starting to freak out a bit!

I have the normal stress from work, well maybe a little more than usual this year....but now I'm stressing about the baby after she's born.

I'm/We are trying to figure out:
Babysitter
Maternity Leave-HR isn't very helpful
When we are ever going to start the baby room
How we are going to fit all this baby stuff in our small townhouse
Baby's name
Baby Budget

Maternity leave is the biggie right now. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth using up all my sick time and take some unpaid time off or if we can even afford it. Or do I really just need to go back to work after 6 weeks so I can have some sick time for the rest of the school year just in case (even though I'll be heartbroken to go back after 6 weeks).

I'm finding myself sighing a lot lately.

And on top of it all, Brian has been working nights and I've barely been able to spend any time with him. I cried the other morning when he said he wouldn't be home in enough time for me to see him before I left for work.

I've been pretty level headed so far, but I'm really starting think I'm losing it all!

Sigh.

22 Weeks

Nothing too exciting going on!

Brian has been working night shift the last few days. I think I'm having some really weird dreams since he's not in the bed with me. My dream last night was about me killing aliens and they wouldn't die...

One of my college roomies came down from D.C. for the weekend. We had a lot of fun! We did our annual pumpkin picking and mini golfing. I think I forgot to get a picture of me picking my pumpkin...it was soooo hot!

Anyway...onto the pictures!

Here this week....                                                                    And last week....

I think my belly might be poking out just a bit more this week...she's growing! 

My hair looks weird in this weeks picture....

I'm tired. I think I need to stop now!
