26 Weeks

Well as promised to my darling little sister, we've got more baby bump pictures :) This week marks the 26th week, otherwise known as 6 1/2 months! Wow, we can't believe it...little Baby Chucta will be here before we know it! I feel like my belly is really starting to stick out there now. There's no denying there's a baby kicking around inside. We often feel the baby kick and can actually see my belly move when the baby moves, it's all so amazing. I love laying there and feeling baby go crazy in there :) Especially in the morning and at night (even more when Nate gets Tara a frosty :))!

Not only do Nate and I like feeling the kicks, but my kids at school love feeling my belly and are always hoping for a chance to feel it move. Unfortunately I don't feel little he/she moving much during the day...it's starting to happen more but I think with all the walking around I do at work I put him/her right to sleep. They sure are funny with the baby though, so many little people questions....Does your baby like pizza? Where does he go to the bathroom? Is he ready to come out yet?....They are adorable, they are already so in love with Baby Chucta, I'm a little sad he/she won't be here untill the summer so they won't be able to see him/her for quite awhile. Everyone I see, including all 21 of my kids, guesses we are having a boy, Nate is still positive it's a girl, and I'm just down right confused :) We have our next appointment April 1st, and then I head home for Michigan on the 3rd for my spring break....we have a busy upcoming week, hope you all have a great weekend! Enjoy the pictures :)

6 Months

Wow, it's unbelievable that I am already in my 6th month of pregnancy! Nate and I are very fortunate to have had it so easy thus far and continue to pray for the same good luck throughout the rest of the pregnancy. My sister got a little camera happy with the 24 week pictures, but we had a really good time and lots of laughs. It was so great to have her down here this past week. We were sad to see her go, but I will be back in Michigan in just a few short weeks for my spring break, so that made it a little bit easier saying goodbye. It will be nice to get to spend some time with family and friends and just enjoy a little down time away from school....I am hoping for nice weather! Other than that, we are staying busy and starting to think about plans for the next few months to get ready for the baby. Our next appointment is April 1st, so I will for sure get an update after that, other than that, no gurantees :) Enjoy the pictures, love to all!

Time's a Flying!

Hey All! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, we've been busy down here between work and my sister visiting, we just haven't gotten around to it :) My sister is down visiting from Michigan and we couldn't be more happier, her and Nate are actually in the kitchen getting ready to cook dinner as I type...I'm so lucky! We have been having great weather this week, in the high 60's, low 70's...I just hope it stays this way! Nate still hasn't heard much word from Central, still playing the waiting game. Other than that, just baby updates...haha I feel like all I ever talk/think about anymore is that little creature growing inside of me!

First off, here is an update of my 22 week pictures, my belly is finally popping out, there's no hiding it anymore! I love it!

Since these pictures have been taken, my belly has only gotten bigger, others are finally starting to notice that I'm pregnant, which is a great feeling to be able to share the news with strangers, haha I'll talk to you anybody about little baby Chucta :) We had an ultrasound on Monday, we couldn't have asked for it to go better. The baby is healthy and growing well. A little too well by the sounds of it.....little he/she is actually measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule! I think it's just because I'm having Nate's baby it's going to be a big one :) The nurse said it was definitely a long skinny thing in there with some big feet and hands...a little basketball player :) The weight was 1 pound and 10 ounces, w hich she said was great! We didn't find out the sex yet again, but it's always so tempting when we see him/her moving around in there. She/He is very active and I get to feel the movements all the time, Nate is finally able to feel it which is such an amazing feeling. I get giddy everytime his hand moves from the baby. My sister since she has been down here also got to see the little one in action at our ultrasound and feel it in my belly, so exciting! We took a video of some of the ultrasound for all of our family and friends to see since they couldn't be there, along with lots of pictures. I will add the youtube link on here if you want to check it out along with all of our little bean's glamour shots from the last ultrsound. Hope you all enjoy and I will update this weekend with pictures of the 6 month/24 Week pictures :) Take care!

Isn't he/she the cutest little thing, that position doesn't look too cozy though!!

The cutest little mouth and nose I've ever seen!     Big ole feet, like Mister Nater!
