High Chair, Car Seat, Stroller, Diaper Bag & Pack N Play

We finally found it .... exclusively at Babies R Us. Kinda expensive, but this is what we have chosen. Now the process of buying.....or hoping to get it as a gift!! Wish I could register for Babies R Us but the closest one is in Birmingham. I'll keep my fingers crossed that something works out!

Baby Trimm's First Outfits

Well this weekend I finally bought my baby boy some clothes! I bought a real cute outfit that has lions on it and it came with pants, a onesie and a little jacket. Its so cute. I bought 0-3 b/c thats for 8-12 pound babies and I figure he will be at least an 8 pound baby. Then my mom bought a cute outfit from The Babys Room in Florence but she's keeping it at home for now. My dad also contributed in on the spending buying him his first Alabama outfit, bib, and pacifier (its so cute). I also went to JC Pennys and they were having a huge sale and lots of things were on sale really cheap, so I bought several different size outfits for really good prices. It felt so nice for me to finally buy something baby. I havent up until this point b/c I wanted to wait and see if it was a boy or girl. Also this weekend, we ordered the crib bedding. Its Kidsline and called "Big Rigs" its cars and trucks mainly. Its really cute and it will take about 4-6 weeks to come in and then we will be able to start painting when we can match some colors with the bedding! So exciting!!

Unexpected Gift

Last night when Clay's mom and dad came over to visit and watch the ultrasound video and see the pictures, they brought us a little gift. She brought Clay's baby blanket from when he was a little baby that his Mama Trimm had made him. Its precious. Also she brought a cute little pair of bear pajamas and 2 little books! Its baby Trimms first official its a boy gift!!

It's a BOY

Well today we went for our 16 weeks appointment and we got to have an ultrasound done to determine the sex of the baby (we had to pay $109 out of pocket). He was very still at first, not moving or wiggling or anything so the ultrasound tech had to push and rub and poke at my belly to try to get him to move around. Finally it worked, and we got to see his cute little hand with all 5 fingers kinda waving at us!! It was so cute. Then we found out it was a boy and it just brought tears to my eyes. I was so excited to see this baby inside me move around and now we know the sex of the baby and everything. He sure has grown from last time. I too have grown a lot from last time. I was up 7 pounds this visit (better then 10 the visit before) but the doctor said for me to keep watching it. That means I have already gained 17 pounds and I'm only 4 months!! That scares me!! A LOT!! We invited my mom to go to the doctor with us and she was really glad she got to come. She also shed a couple of tears watching the video of our little baby boy wiggle around inside me. It was surreal! I already love him so much!! To make today even more special was our 3 year anniversary!! We will always remember this anniversary!

My Co-Worker Andrea

My co-worker/good friend Andrea is really into fitness and healthy eating. She bought me a yoga video for pregnant women. It was so sweet of her to do that!! She is a very thoughtful person!! She's also the first person I told in my office that I was pregnant!

Second Trimester

Well I'm officially in the 2nd trimester and boy do I feel so much better!!! Not that I had a bad 1st trimester (b/c I didn't), but I just feel like a new person! My energy is back up. Im even exercising some (walking and prenatal exercise videos) in the mornings and evenings. My boobs aren't near as sore (unless I lay/sleep on them wrong) and my moods are stable!! I just feel great!! I have a little baby bump going on now, so its kinda cute to me and Clay! Oh and Clay has been wonderful during this whole process. He does and copes with just about anything from rubbing my back to my feet to fixing dinner to just putting up with my moods and griping! He's the best, he's my world and I love him so much!! He's super excited to be a dad.

Maternity Clothes

Well I did it, I finally had to buy maternity clothes! It was getting to the point where my boobs just couldn't breath in my shirts and my pants and even stretchy pants are not comfy anymore. So, I asked my mom to go with me shopping. We went to Motherhood Maternity and spent like 2 hours in there. I tried on tons and tons of clothes!! Finally I decided on a pair of shorts, denim capris, khaki capris, black dress pants, brown dress pants, gray dress pants and several tops! My mom bought me 3 outfits total!! That was very nice of her!! Now when I go to work on Monday, I will comfortably be able to sit at my desk and breathe!!

12 Week Update

Good Morning, This starts my 12th week of pregnancy. So far so good. I really can't complain. I still have not been sick any. No vomiting or anything. I do get headaches quite frequently but usually if I take a tylenol it magically goes away. All my clothes are getting way to snug now. Ive dragged out my old "fat" clothes to see about wearing some of those, but even some of those are tight!! My face has gotten rounder (not good with my puffy cheeks). I worked so hard and lost all that weight and its coming back so fast, I 'm really having a hard time adjusting to it.

We picked out our nursery furniture!! the brand is Cocoon. Its so pretty, I absolutely LOVE it! We decided we want to get the 3 in 1 crib that converts to a full size bed, a nightstand, the armorie with a hutch and a 5 door chest. I just wish it didn't cost as much as it did! My parents offered to buy it for us, but I feel kinda bad b/c of how much it costs, but I don't know how me and Clay would ever be able to afford it though without their help! Thank God for wonderful parents. I hope one day me and Clay are the same kind of parents to our kids!!

First Ultrasound

It was AMAZING to see our first picture of our little baby. When I first saw the picture I think my heart really skipped a beat. It made everything so real, so exciting! For the first time I was actually excited about being pregnant. All my anxiety and fear just left when I saw the heart beat and saw the little picture.

Telling Work

I have so much anxiety about telling my work that I'm pregnant. I LOVE my job and the thought of not having it scares me to death! My bosses arent big on taking time off, heck one of them never even takes a vacation (except for this year)! I don't want to be replaced either. My biggest fear is that even if they get someone to just fill in for me while I am out, they will really like that person and then think that they don't need me anymore. I'm not sure why I'm afraid of this, b/c I know how much my bosses like me and my work. I need to just suck it up and thats what I did. I told them. I only really cried in front of one of them. The other two I got teary but didnt' cry. They seem to be really understanding and all told me congratulations!! I feel so much better now! They all said that they would work with me and I would have a job after maternity leave. Now its just a matter of how long I'll be out and who will sub in for me! But at least I have one anxiety out the door now.
