Week 19

A picture at week 19 since hopefully next week's post will be a sono!! Yes, I know I need a new camera, but my Iphone camera is going to have to work for now! It's on my list! I had to break down and buy maternity jeans and capris this weekend. They are actually super cute & extremely comfortable! I was dreading buying maternity stuff for some reason, but I may be wearing these after pregnancy they're so great!

This is TAKS testing week, and I will be taking our Life Skills class (severely disabled children) on a field trip the next 3 days. I'm a little nervous to be driving them all the way to Fort Worth, but I'm excited to have the opportunity. Everyone at school is telling me I'm brave and/or crazy and to brace myself for the most exhausting days I've ever experienced. I'm not scared though! It'll be a new experience for us all. I'll post pictures afterwards. Only 4 more weeks of school! Happy Monday everyone!

Easter... A little late

We spent Easter weekend with Cody's family & my mom out in the country. It was nice to spend a weekend relaxing. We went to church with Cody's grandmother and she was excited to have the whole family there with her. I realized Easter egg hunts and the Easter bunny will soon be a part of our lives and we're super excited. Cody's cousin Kendall is also expecting a baby, so next year will be especially fun! We didn't take many pictures, but had to have one of the two of us on our last Easter as just the two of us! I guess the next few months will be the last of those days... It's kinda bitter sweet I guess. We're loving our time together more than ever, but also counting the days until baby Duncan is here!

Finally, some pictures...

Well I finally decided to have Cody take a profile picture to prove that my tummy is, in fact, growing. I have dreaded having a picture taken in this view, so I hope all of you appreciate this:) I'm actually excited that it's growing because that makes it even more real that a baby is in there. I'm also attaching some recent pictures of Cody taking his first helicopter flight at the school he is applying to soon. He actually flew the helicopter the first day! We still haven't figured out if he will be applying for the Fall semester or if he will wait until the Spring. Hopefully we will know more soon because he is very excited to get started!

More than a peanut!

I went in to see the doctor today because I was having some cramping the past few days & was a little overly concerned about it. Of course the nurse said cramping is normal, but I know my body & this felt a little different. She was more-than-willing to evaluate me & run some tests just for my peace of mind. Thankfully it was an unusually quiet day at the doctor's office because they ended up doing a full evaluation so that I don't have to come back next week for my scheduled checkup. As I waited, the sonographer teased me a little, saying I am far enough along for him to tell me the baby's sex. Since Cody wasn't there I decided not to, but it sure was tempting! He did agree to give me a "quick peek" at our baby that I haven't seen in 8 weeks. I was overwhelmed to see a real baby's profile this time, and not a blob or peanut shaped form! It is absolutely the most precious picture I've seen & can't imagine how I'll feel when we see him/her face-to-face. The sonographer also did a quick peek between the legs to confirm the sex (to himself!) but I didn't see it long enough to know what we were looking at. Cody couldn't believe I didn't go ahead & find out. He wants to know as bad as I do. Everything else is going well. We are enjoying life & spending lots of time together while it's just the two of us. I'll post pics soon of my baby bump, just haven't taken any current ones yet!

Sweet Profile :)
