24 Week Belly Shots

Here are my 24 week belly shots. We fogot to use our "24 week" stickers but as a bonus I let Adam take a picture of all me and not just my belly.

Check up

I just came back from my monthly check up and everything is looking really good.  Reagan is measuring ahead of schedule still so we might not get our 11/11/11 due date.  That's okay because then we will get to meet her sooner than expected.  I didn't get in trouble for my weight gain like I was anticipating so that is good....LOL  Reagan decided to show off for the doctor when it was doppler time.  She kicked good and hard just as the doctor was putting the doppler on my belly.  The doctor stepped back and said "I felt that one".  I told her she likes to show off....LOL  I have been getting really bad headaches and the doctor seems to think I have a sinus infection.  So she prescribed me some antibiotics to try.  I will be so happy when the headaches are finally gone!  That has been my biggest complaint about being pregnant but I can't complain because it is all worth it in the end.  It kills Adam and I when we hear so many women complain about being pregnant or once they have had the baby about the baby not sleeping or spitting up all the time.  We just feel so blessed to be having a healthy baby and welcome all the lack of sleep and spit up that will soon come.  I have so many friends who are still try to conceive and my heart breaks each and every day for them.  They are all wonderful ,good hearted people who want nothing more to bring their own child into this world.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers everyday and you all remind me of how lucky Adam and I are. 

22 Weeks

I think I officially popped!  Here are my 22 week belly shots.

A few other random things to report.  This little girl is very active.  She kicks me good and hard and frequently.  It is the best feeling EVER!  For the first time last night, Adam was able to feel her kick me.  I have been trying to get him to feel her for the last 2 weeks but every time I would put his hand on my belly, she would stop.  Last night she put on one heck of a show for the both of us.

 Over the weekend we put up Reagan's name sticker on the wall. I have to say it looks amazing. We are so glad how it turned out. Adam also installed a camera in the room to monitor the baby. It is so cool. Now all I have to do is turn on any tv to check on her. I am so lucky that I have such a talented husband!  We also tackled the task of registering at Target and Babies R Us.  It was tons of fun for about the 1st hour.  We were both exhausted  by the time we were done and my ankles were the size of grapefruits from standing for over 4 hours.  PS- Adam had the registry gun so if you see something strange on the registry, you can blame him...LOL

20 Week Belly Shots and Nursery.......

Here are my 20 week belly shots. We messed up and took them from the wrong side. I will try to redo them tonight.

Adam and I had the same Teddy Bears growing up and by luck it was one of the few stuffed animals we both kept.  Adam's bear is on the Right and as he likes to say "it was loved more than yours"....LOL 

This was a quilt from when Adam was a baby.   

It's a .......

GIRL! She measured perfectly and has long legs like her daddy. Everything looked great. Whew!
Our c-section is scheduled for 11/11/11 at 2pm.

Introducing Reagan Nicole Lawrence.........

If you look closely in the video above you can see her long legs...

18 Week Belly Shots and Finished Nursery

As I promised, here are my 18 week belly shots and pictures of the finished nursery.  We still need the crib, etc but the painting is all done! 

We are recovering the glider - no worries it won't stay blue.  It will be recovered in a chocolate brown to match the crib.

Nursery...A work in progress

I have a few pictures of the nursery.  It is a work in progress but we are getting close.  We started it really early because first of all Adam is not allowed to paint and I wanted to get it painted while I am still comfortable and able to move around.  Second, because I like to get things done and out of the way. 

                                     

We will be finding out the sex of the baby next Thursday, June 16th at 1:30pm.  We'll keep you all posted on the results.  Also the nursery should be done except for furniture by this weekend.  I'll post new pics and new 18 week belly pictures.
