8 months!!

I am so ready to hold him! Being parents and doing the"first" ( first walk, first zoo, first easter etc..) as husband, wife and baby is so exciting to us!! We can't wait to indulge in our little family. Teaching him about Jesus is so important to us. Ryan and I looked for some devotional books with baby but have not found any yet. We also want to purchase a great Bible to read him stories from. We are on the hunt!!! 

My dad purchased our crib

So thankful to my parents and Bart and Renee for all they do for us.

The changing table is the smaller shelf. A changing pad sits on top.

OH! got some maternity pictures taken! we love the two we have seen so far. Can't wait to see the rest.

25-30 Weeks

Getting BIG!!!

 I have definitely gotten bigger. Anderson has tons of range now and is constantly kicking.  Had my first experience with rib kicking not too long ago. 

24 Weeks

4D ultra sound appointment is set!!! 11 am on March 22nd, 2011 at First Impressions in Memphis!!!

I was told to drink lots of water because the more water built up the better picture it creates AND to drink caffeine so Ryan said I could get a STARBUCKS on the way to the appt... I AM STOKED!!

I feel these pictures don't do me justice. I AM BIG! I FEEL BIG!! ugh... 

Ryan and I are going on a walk today. I really really want grilled cheese and tomato soup. Yummy Yummy!!

23 Weeks

23 weeks on 2/19/11

My back is KILLING ME still.

Anderson had some sort of tantrum in my belly the other night. Ryan and I just sat there laughing. It was awesome. I know we wont be laughing when the kicking and screaming comes, but at the moment, it was funny.

Ryan and I walked to Kroger's yesterday to get me some Cheeto's. They were extra yummy. He is so good to me.

The Lord is wonderful and we can't wait to teach Anderson about Christ.

22 Weeks 1/12/11

I was 22 Weeks on 1/12/11

Symptoms

Lots and Lots of kicking 

Hungry all the time

I have lots of veins showing up to ensure blood flow I am sure

Ryan and I have been putting co-co butter on my belly and hips. I want to try t avoid stretch marks

20 and 21 Week Belly

My belly is changing!!

My back continually arches more and I am in some pain at times. I know it is because the baby is growing though.

I EAT ALL THE TIME!!!

Anderson seems to kick all the time. He is a night owl like his father, We will definitely have to break him of that.

 

Boy or Girl??.

We are having a BOY!!!! Anderson Ryan Easley!!! We couldn't be happier. Everyone is super stoked!!

We found out on 1/31/11

I cried. I thought Ryan was too but he said he didn't :)

19 Weeks

I am pooching! We are so excited!

Ryan and I watched several of his home movies today and it made us think about our upcoming family. His videos were adorable. Gotta love it.

We also purchased a new car for the baby. A 2010 Toyota Prius. We are selling my mustang since it has no back seat and cant properly hold a car seat. I will miss that car.

Symptoms:

Sore tummy. I think its trying to grow!

Way bigger appetite.

Cried a little for no reason

I am 18 weeks now!

                  Before                                                                              Now

I am able to tell where the baby is most of the time if I am laying down and feel a hard bump. Don't worry, I don't press hard but it is really neat. I am less toned and thicker than I was at the beginning so I just look like I am getting fat. Can't wait to actually look pregnant.

2 week and 2 days till we find out what sex that baby is!!

Long Awaited Post!

I know that it has been a bit since I have blogged and I apologize. We have great news! We get t know the sex of the baby on January 31st!! I almost cried on the way out of the office because of excitement!
Since the last post we have got to hear the heartbeat TWICE and we have a 9 week ultrasound on 11/16.

Here is our idea. Actually, an idea that a friend did at work. We bought a build-a-bear recorded and on our next ultrasound appt we WILL RECORD THE HEART BEAT and get a stuffed animal for the baby to keep forever ( it will be ours too). We are so excited!

All four of the grandparents got us items for the baby at Christmas. My mom and dad go us a blanket and outfits :) and Renee and Bart got the baby cute stuffed animal :). My bestie, Cassie Page, got the baby a Bible and a stuffed animal! She also is allowing us to borrow tons of stuff which is soooo great! Love that woman.

I will definantly post next ultrasound!
