Being proud of the little belly

So not a perfect shot of the size I currently am, however, this picture is not far from the truth.
I can't hide my belly, unless I am wearing a baggy shirt, but the fact that I am almost 7 months pregnant seems to shock everyone I meet. It is very funny to meet people that aren't as far along as I am and they are bigger by far.
At first this bummed me out a bit but I decided that I am okay having a small belly if that means my baby will be small (at least that is what I am hoping for.)
Anyways, Six and a half months later...here I am looking 2 or 3 months pregnant :)

So Its been a long time...

Well It's been pretty crazy since the last post we did. Many fun, excited, and unexpected things have happened between my being 20 weeks pregnant to me being 24 weeks pregnant. Well I guess the best way to go about this is to explain it all Chronologically.

Jeremy Agrees. (Isn't he cute!!!!)







Well this pic is me is me at about 21 or 22 weeks prego. It is becoming apart of my pregnancy picture collection that Jeremy has so wonderfully started. I am much bigger now (as in I couldn't hide I'm pregnant if I wanted to) but with all the craziness we haven't taken any pictures.
















We also bathed Cali (the cat) at roughly the same time. I took a picture cause...well she looks so dang pathetic is kinda cute!!!

















This is where the craziness starts. So August...I want to say 15th...Was my family's first ever Girls Getaway. It was a blast. We went to Washington D.C. and was there for a total of 3 days and 2 nights. For the first ever I can't think of anything that could of been improved upon.
















It was my two older sisters, my mother, my Aunt, and my cousin's girlfriend (who if under any circumstance was to get rid of we are keeping her). We toured most, if not all, of D.C. I was so exhausted by the end but it was way cool.

After the trip was over we went to our apartment. Somehow we decided in like a 20 min conversation that we should move back to school. To explain the circumstances briefly, Jeremy caught walking pneumonia and would be unable to work the rest of the semester so we decided to go ahead and make the journey back 2 or 3 weeks earlier than planned. What was the bonus is that my amazing sister and mother helped us pack, clean, and leave sooner than the two of us would have been able to do (with one of us pregnant and the other getting over walking pneumonia.)


This video is from our road trip back. Cali is an amazing cat that is really awesome on road trips. However, this one night she decided to wake us up many times in the night (and I'm not talking 2 or 3, I'm talking close to 12.) So the next day I kept waking her up so that I could get some sleep that night (It totally worked by the way)



On a side not Jer is this scruffy cause he decided not to shave the entire time he was sick which was about a month.


So now we are in Pleasant Grove, Ut. Jer started school Tuesday and I am starting Monday/Tuesday and we are just living life.

The news we've been waiting for....

We have finally had our 20 weeks appointment today! It is very healthy and as all limbs and parts (it was a little tiff we disturbed its nap time to check though)

Now it’s important to let you all know whether BOY, a little playful destroying testoterite manchild, or GIRL, a little pink wearing sweet destructite; we will be very happy.

We have both been hoping for a GIRL however be have both thought all along it was a BOY!!

Truth of the matter we were hoping for a GIRL to help with any other babies that may have been headed our way, they tend to be more helpful no? However BOY's would be sweet also, seriously, a manchild sounds like a good time.

Dad did his b.e.s.t. at the beach and he told me how to do it also. He did his test and his best guess was that it was going to be a BOY, I did my best to do the test and at first I thought it was going to be a BOY, but then did it with less concentration and It seemed like it was going to be a GIRL!! This was very confusing.

So, in the last week we have been thinking it will be a BOY for sure but possibly a GIRL? Which didn’t help us much. We talked for the last 2 weeks on GIRLS and BOYS names. We settled on Zebediah for a BOY and Cleopatra for a GIRL. Well those will be the names until the little tyke’s born.

WELL NOW we have been to the doctors, we have had the ultrasound. Now we confirmed that it has a good heart, She said it beat like a little BOY! And we were very excited!!!. However when we saw the hands they were so tiny and delicate looking I kept thinking It looks more like a GIRL. But then Dad and I both got a BOY answer on the b.e.s.t. So we were still confused.

Now when it comes right down to it I’m a BOY and Maria is a GIRL Now Cali is a GIRL cat but that my not actually be the most important to the family dynamic. However, SO right now we have 2 GIRLS and a BOY in the family. If we have BOY we will even it out to 2 BOYS and 2 GIRLS counting Cali that is. Now if we are having a GIRL, which we are, THAT means we will have 3 GIRLS counting Maria and Cali. And me the only BOY that means I will be outnumbered 3 GIRLS to ME the only BOY!!

SO TO SUM UP!!! We had hoped for a GIRL and we had both from the beginning thought it was going to be a BOY. Also Dad’s b.e.s.t, Was a BOY outcome and my b.e.s.t outcome was a BOY. However we were both holding out for a little GIRL. And now we know what we are having. And, so do you. Thanks for all the support and happiness on the sex of our baby. WE ARE STOKED TO BE HAVING ONE!!!!! Love you guys.
