24 Weeks

I can't believe that we only have 16 weeks left! I feel like we have so much to do, and so little time to do it in. We finally decided on a crib and ordered it last week. Now we just need to find a dresser to go with it.

This little boy is so active! He moves around anywhere form 8am-10pm. I'm so happy that we are on the same sleeping habit though. He has finally started kicking me in the ribs, which is not a pleasant feeling at all. He is getting stronger everyday. At our last Doctors appointment, I'm measuring a week bigger, so if everything works out, his due date will match the ultrasound date and he will be here the end of May!

As for me, I feel great! I have been having some problems with my hips and inner thighs though. They don't really bother me in the day, but I dread going to bed. So hopefully the pain will get better. I feel as though my skin couldn't stretch any further, but I'm guessing it can and it will.

Nothing to exciting has happened in the last two weeks, but if anything happens I will post it.

What's in a Name?

I'm having a really hard time not having a name for this child. Shawn says that we have plenty of time to decide, but I'm such a control freak, I'm going nuts. I don't want this child coming out thinking his name is Cletus (his nickname right now). We have a few names picked out, but nothing set in stone yet.

Here are my names:

Keaton
Landon or Landen (not sure on the spl)

Here are Shawn's names:

Callan or Callen (not sure on the spl)
Kayden or Kaiden (not sure on the spl)

we know that the middle name will be Shawn, so we have that part taken care of. Never in a million years would I have thought it was this hard to name a child. If it was a girl, the name would be cake. We had both agreed on one, and loved it!

We have had some friends tell us to put the names in a hat and choose the name that way. We are still deciding on that.

I guess only time will tell what his name will be :)

22 Weeks

Today marks the 22nd week of pregnant. I can't believe how fast the weeks go by now. It took FOREVER to find what we were having, and now, the weeks just fly by.

Things I have noticed in the past two weeks:

~I'm now officially in "mom jeans" now. My jeans don't fit anymore :( But that's okay. I can't believe how comfortable these jean are!

~It's getting harder to bend over to pick things up.

~My skin feels like it can't stretch any tighter, and I now this is only the beginning.

~Harder to put on my shoe & sock. I wish it was a little warmer, I could just wear sandals.

~Heartburn has finally set in, and I'm not a fan of it. It ALWAYS seems to hit me right before bedtime. And always seems to wake me up in the middle of the night.

~Finding the right position to sleep isn't as easy as it sounds. And pillows can only do so much.

Other than that, everything seems to be going as normal. This little guy loves to go crazy ALL DAY LONG, but sleeps through the night. I'm just happy that it's not the other way around. :)

20 Weeks....Halfway There!

Today marks 20 weeks! I can't believe how fast the last few weeks have gone by. And I have a feeling that the next 20 weeks are going to fly by in a blink of an eye.

We are getting so excited to meet this little guy. I told Shawn that we need to decide a name, or else this boy is going to think that his name is baby or "cletus" (I'll explain later).

we went baby shopping over the weekend and it was alot of fun! I told Shawn that he is going to regret us finding out what we are having cause I can't stop buying clothes! I'm buying all the winter stuff that is on clearence so he can fit into it next winter. I have saved so much doing it this way.

Here is a list of things that I don't want to forget about my first 20 weeks!

~I was pregnant when we were Sealed in the Temple, we just didn't know it yet.

~I knew I was having a boy the day I found out that we were having a baby.

~I NEVER had morning sickness, and didn't puke once!

~Hearing the heartbeat for the first time was AMAZING, and something that I will NEVER FORGET!

~I have delvoped a case of whatever is on my mind, you are going to hear about it, and it's actually kind of nice.

~We nicknamed the baby "Cletus the Fetus" early on, so we'd have something to called it.

I will add more to this list as I remember them.

19 Weeks

I'm such a slacker! I wish that I would have been keeping better updates about this pregnancy. So, I have to decided that from this point forward, I will be doing a weekly update, so I can look back and remember everything.

This week marks 19 weeks along. We had our ultrasound this week and found out that we are having a BOY!!!! and he WAS NOT SHY in anyway to let us know what he was. Seeing him on the screen was so amazing! I have slept so much better these last few nights know that everything is going great, and he is one healthy baby boy. Don't get me wrong, we'd be happy either way as long as the baby is healthy and strong. We just wanted a boy first because we both have older brothers, and we needed someone to carry on the Hunter name. I knew from day one that it was a boy. I just had a feeling, and nothing was going to change my mind about it.

This child is a VERY active little boy! he pretty much moves non-stop ALL DAY! But I guess that's a good thing that he is hyper all day, not all night. I love to watch his little kicks, and Shawn felt him for the first time this week! We are both very excited to meet this little guy.

As for me, I'm doing great! I feel great, and have lots of energy. My breakouts have finally decided to stop, and I have the "glow" now. It's getting harder to bend down and tie my shoes, which I know is only going to get wrose. But for right now, I can't complain about anything.

Now all we need to do is settle on a name and start getting the nursery ready!

Until next week!

The Big 3-0!!!

Today is Shawn's 30th birthday! We can't believe it. We are getting so old! It's weird to sit back and think of everything that we have gone through/done the past 6 years we have been together.

I just want to let Shawn know how proud I am of him, and everything that he has accomplished. He is a VERY goal driven person, and I amire that so much. we are counting down the months til he is done with school. It's so nice to finally have an end in sight.

I also can't wait to see him as a daddy. I know he'll be great. We have alot of changes that are going to be taking place in the next 6-12 months, and I'm so excited to share them with him.

So Happy Birthday to my best friend, the love of my love, but most of all my hubby!

Pitter Patter, Pitter Patter.....

I guess that I can finally let the cat out of the bag! We are so excited to say that we have a BABY ON BOARD!!!!! We are due 6/6/2011, so that puts us around 11 weeks. (A little bummed that I will have to miss the first half of the softball season, but I think it will be worth it). We heard the heartbeat this week, and let me tell you, what an amazing sound that was to hear. I have been worried that there was something wrong, but our Midwife said that EVERYTHING LOOKS AND SOUNDS GREAT!! So now we get to play the waiting game to find out what it is. I think we figured the first or second week in January is when we should now.

I have been VERY LUCKY and haven't had morning sickness or any weird cravings so far. And I hope I keep it that way. The only thing that has gotten to me, is lack of sleep, but I guess it's just getting me ready for the months to come.

I just thought that I would share the good news, since it has been awhile since I posted last. :) I will keep everyone updated how things go!
