22 Weeks & Housework!

I am 22 weeks today!  As I am sitting here typing our little Leighton is kicking away!! This is her norm - she decides to start moving, twisting, punching & kicking when it is time for me to settle down for the night..I don't mind though - I LOVE feeling her kick!!  I have been experiencing some CRAZY painful round ligament pain, might have to do with the fact that I have gain 5 pounds in 2 weeks.  That makes my total weight gain 7 lbs so that tells you how little I actually ate my first trimester!!  Mikey has been so busy around the house, I feel bad, normally I would be helping him but I gotta keep our baby girl safe & sound!! We are not only working on her room, we are working on our bonus room, guest bed room & her bathroom!! He is also going to be building her changing table and dresser!  Little overwhelming - money & time wise, we only have 4 full months left and our little booger will be here! :) Mike had his friend Evan come help today - THANKS EVAN!!! He helped paint, remove carpet and move furniture!  We are getting new carpet next weekend, I CANNOT WAIT!  My loving mama bought the carpet (and paint) for Leighton's room - that is her gift to her first grandbaby!!  So THANK YOU GAMMY!!  Leighton's Aunt Cherish is buying her bedding and planning her shower!  We are so lucky to have family that wants to help out and get ready for our little girl!! ALSO, Mikey and I went to a consignment sale in Franklin and bought so much GOOD stuff for her for sooo cheap!!  We bought the following:  Pack-n-play, changing table pad, laundry hamper, tummy time mat, clothes, decorations for her room, travel diaper changing pad, vibrating bouncy seat, boppy pillow, bath mat, hair bows and head bands, and a cozy rider - all for $175!!!! Here are some pictures of the progess on the rooms and some stuff we got at the consignment! 

 

IT'S A GIRL!!!

We are so excited to say that we are having a little girl!  We had our ultrasound yesterday, my mom and mother-in-law came with us to the appointment!  The ultrasound tech said she looks good, weighs 10.5 ounces!  She was so adorable in there, turning, flipping, kicking & climbing (yes climbing!) she also kept putting her arm in front of her face! Maybe she is shy?!  We have picked out a name (as long as I don't change my mind about 10 more times).  Her name is Leighton - middle name still in limbo but we have 2 in mind.  Here are some pictures from this weekend.  I was 19 weeks 1 day in my preggo pic!  Her nursery progress is going to begin soon, we have picked out bedding & paint and I am so lucky to have such a great family that is wanting to buy buy buy!! 

Isn't her little profile too cute?!?

17 Weeks!

I finally took a belly picture last Sunday so I was 16 weeks 1 day, hopefully tonight before the hubs and I go on our date he can take a picture for me!  We are getting soooo excited about the ultrasound, I wake up every morning and announce how many days we have left, today is 16!!  I am excited about finding out the gender but I am also just really excited about seeing our little sweet baby, I've only had 1 ultrasound and I was only 7 weeks so to me (and this may sound bad) but the baby looks like a fish!  I am going to start working on the nursery today, as of right now, as I type, this room is our computer room and it also looks like a tornado came through.  I haven't been doing much with it because I knew it would be the baby's room soon but we are running out of time because we are getting new carpet in February so I better get to cleaning it out!! I would take a before picture but honestly, I am ashamed!  You will see the nursery progress though, I think I am more excited about that!!
