21 Weeks

- Best moment of this week: Well it was last week but finding out that we're having a little boy!

Half Baked
Some updates:
Brooke finally moved back home and while we learned a lot about our selves and each other during her time with us Aaron and I are both very glad to see her go. We have our house back and it's so nice!
We are getting close to closing on the house. Please keep your fingers crossed that everything goes through in the next week or so. We really need to be in before Christmas and I'm dying to start the baby's nursery and put up my Christmas tree.
We're making progress on a name. We're not ready to run out and get things embroidered but we have been playing with the idea of Brock Christian for a couple of weeks now and we both still like it. I think it's a strong name and a great compromise to having a Jr.
Nursery decor is a battle right now. Aaron wants a typical sports themed room and I'm not having' it! I will only have the next 2 to 3 years max to have a say in how his room will be decorated and till I will be up to my eyeballs in balls, bats, gloves, ect. I want a cute nursery maybe jungle animals or sail boats. It's not like I'm trying to put pink stuff in there but I'm not ready for full blown sports stuff yet.
Well 20 weeks down to 20 go!

- Total weight gain: Up one pound from last week so I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight
- Maternity clothes: Just the Bella Band. I need to go shopping this weekend...
- Sleep: Still sleeping pretty well
- Best moment of this week: This is not baby related, but we finally got our wedding video last night. I was amazing to sit and watch it and remember how awesome that day was. When it was over we just looked at each other and realized how awesome it will be to be able to watch it with our little one in a few years.
- Movement: I'm not sure if it's the baby moving or not, but something is going on in there. It's like my stomach gets really tight in one area and I feel pressure. It doesn't hurt but it's not comfortable. I don't know...
- Food cravings: I've been really good this week. I haven't eaten anything crazy.
- Belly Button in or out: In
- What I miss most: I am really enjoying being pregnant right now. I wouldn't change a thing. Although and tuna sandwich sounds awesome!

- Milestones: Feeling baby Campbell move, well potentially feeling movement.
Baby Campbell has become amazingly mobile passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. Baby C is finally big enough to feel those movements.

17 Weeks
- How far along?: 17 weeks
- Total weight gain: I have gained 4 pounds since my last doctors appointment which has me down 1 pound from my pre-pregnancy weight. I don't know how I haven't gained more because I can't button my pants anymore. Which brings me to....
- Maternity clothes: I'm still not in maternity clothes just yet but I am rocking a Bella Band thanks to my awesome hubby & our good friend Abby. I had a minor melt down earlier this week when I got dressed for work and realized I couldn't button my pants. Aaron took me to lunch that day and had gone to Babies R Us before he picked me up & got me a Bella Band. That's love! The next day he came home from work with more goodies! Our friend gave me one of her Bella Bands and some Cocoa Butter. God love her!!!
- Sleep: I've been sleeping like a baby

- What I'm looking forward to: Finding out if it's a boy or girl
- Weekly wisdom: Learn to to people's advise with a grain of salt NOW. Everyone has an opinion about everything and you may not care how big they were when they were pregnant with their 1st, 2nd , 10th kid but they are still going to tell you and they are still going to tell you that you must not be eating enough and then they are going to tell you what you should do because after all everyone is an expert. So go ahead & learn to smile and nod. Then take what you want and pretend the rest never happened.
- Milestones: The baby can hear me now!

Thank you for being so supportive and understanding. I love you buddy!
- Milestones: Started looking into childcare this week
What baby Campbell is up to:
Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidney, and spleen continue to develop. Languo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body.

Forced to tell
On another note, I'm 12 weeks today! I cant believe I'm one week away from 2nd tri! The time has just flown by. I'm starting to have more energy, feeling less nauseous, and can definitely see a change in my body. Next Wednesday I have another ultrasound. Were supposed to hear the heart beat and hopefully the baby looks less like a blob and more like a baby! I'll have Aaron take a belly pic. tonight and will update this weekend.
Happy Friday!

My little embryo is a fetus now!
In other news: The house hunt continues. I found a house in Summerport that I love, I just need to get Aaron on board! We, or I guess I, got into another wreck this past weekend. It was the most scary experience of my life. We hydroplaned and spun out on the highway. I hit the cement median head on and spun a few more times until we finally came to a stop. We were both okay, just worried about the baby. To make things worse, I forgot to turn in the proof of payment from my last ticket, and apparently my license was suspended. So I got 2 tickets for calling the wreck that no one else was involved in! I'm looking forward to the weekend and the start of football season! Go Cowboys!!!
Drumroll please....
Out little baby is now the size of a green olive!

I found this on Thebump.com & it updates you weekly on what your baby is doing & how it's growing.Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.

Baby's First Photo Shoot

1st Prenatal Appointment
I met Dr. Peppy and really liked him. I was somewhat nervous because I have never been to a male OBGYN but he didn’t creep me out. In fact, he was really nice and laid back, I guess we will see how it goes when he “goes down on me”! He made me laugh when he referred to being pregnant as a condition and then proceeded to go over all of the things I can & can’t do anymore, it seemed like the list was never ending.
I’m not really sure when I had my last period so he used my last known period which was in June and when my July period should have been and came up with a couple of estimated due dates (EDD). If I conceived after my June period my EDD is 3/20/10 which will be our 1st wedding anniversary, and if I conceived after my July period my EDD is 4/20/10 which is Aaron’s birthday. Obviously, these dates are not 100% accurate but it gives us an idea.
I go back on 8/26 for our 1st ultrasound to confirm a delivery date and to hear the baby’s heartbeat. Aaron and I are beyond excited and we are praying for a healthy baby and a smooth pregnancy.

Girl's Night Out!
My sister is moving in with us a week from today. I'm pretty excited about it but a little nervous at the same time. I haven't lived with anyone other than my awesome hubby in 4 years! I guess we will see how it goes!
