Vance's Room

Here are some pictures of his room. It is still a work in progress.

28 weeks- I am in the 3rd Trimester!

I can't believe that I am seven months pregnant. Wow! Time really has gone by faster than I thought it would. I have a feeling these next two months are going to feel like forever. Last week I had my glucose test and hopefully will find out that everything is good when I go back to the doctor on Thursday. They also gave me a flu shot and said that I am on the list to get the swine flu shot whenever they get it. Hopefully, that will be soon. I am a little paranoid about it since I saw that a pregnant lady died in Houston from it.

We painted Vance's room this weekend. It looks really good. We painted it tan on the top and navy blue on the bottom and my dad put up a white chair rail. Susan bought my bedding for me and the furniture came in today. I am super excited that it is all coming together. I will post a picture of the room soon. I want to get all of the furniture and bedding in there first.

Today I went to visit a lady that has an in home daycare. A girl I know that also works at a State Farm office is going to use her for her baby and referred me. I really liked her. She had a great setup and it was really clean and organized. I felt like I would feel really comfortable leaving him there. I also like that my child will learn Spanish. I feel good that I can check that off my list of things to do. Now I just need to find a pediatrician. I have a few lined up to visit.

I am getting bigger. I think I have grown alot in the last week. I can feel him moving all of the time. Especially at night when I am trying to go to sleep :)

Here are some pictures that were taken at 28 weeks.

24 weeks- 6 months!

I am now officially 6 months pregnant. I have started to feel Vance move around alot more and Aaron even felt him yesterday. I have not felt any real kicks yet, but he is definitely moving around alot. It is really the coolest and weirdest thing ever to feel a living thing inside of you. I had my doctor's appointment last week and everything is going good. I have gained 14 pounds so far, which I feel pretty good about.

We finally got moved in to our new house in Katy and our parents helped us unpack and get settled. It is so nice to be 5 minutes away from work and Aaron says the traffic has not been bad for him. Now we are getting ready to paint the baby's room and order the furniture. The bedding is a sports theme, but it is really classic and cute. I really like it. I also registered at Target and Babies R Us last week which was really fun.

Below is a belly picture and a picture of the bedding.

20 weeks- Half way there!!

We had our ultrasound last week and we found out we are having a boy! We are very excited. Aaron especially. I did not realize how important it is for men to have a boy. We are going to name him Vance Aaron Dieudonne. Everything looks healthy and he weighs about 11 ounces. It now feels a lot more real. There is a baby in me and it as to come out one way or another and it is mine forever when it does. Wow!! Very surreal but exciting! We are packing up our house and getting ready to move to our new house in Katy. I wish I could wiggle my nose or wave a wand and everything would be moved and put away in my new house. Any volunteers?? :)

Here is an ultrasound picture of Vance and a belly picture at 19 weeks.

15 weeks

I am now in my second trimester and feeling much better! I am really enjoying my new job but the drive is really far. We keep hoping that our house will sale soon. I want to be able to get everything organized and decorate the baby's room before I am really big. We are super excited to find out if we are having a girl or boy. We get to find out at 20 weeks~ at the end of July. I am starting to get a small baby bump. I am beginning to feel pregnant and not just fat. It is the weirdest thing seeing my body change and knowing that a life is being created inside of me. I bought my first maternity clothes yesterday. I got a few pair of pants for work and a pair of jeans. They are so much more comfortable! I go to the doctor on Tuesday and they are doing the blood test that checks for down syndrome and spina bifida. Please pray that everything is alright. I am attaching a couple of belly pictures that were taken at 14 weeks.
