AmericaFest and other stuff

This weekend is a big festival called AmericaFest. It's all on base and they had rides, games, vendors, planes to check out and a free 3 Doors Down concert all out on the flight line!

Log and me just went out to the concert (too hot and humid during the day) and enjoyed it while we ate our snow cones. 

Funny enough, other than the Trans Siberian concert we went to two years ago, this is kinda the first rock concert either of us has ever been too. Probably caz it was free haha. We didn't get too close though because it's not good for baby and I could really feel my belly vibrating. Still it was pretty fun. 

It goes on again tomorrow but they are also inviting all the local nationals (the Japanese) to come too! Sounds a little too crazy for us. I think we will just stay home Sunday and watch the fireworks from our house. 

In other news, we bought the nursery set I wanted today! Now we just have to wait 3-6 months for it to get shipped here. I wish I was exaggerating. At least I know it is on it's way now and Connor won't be using it until about that time anyway caz I got a CoSleeper for him to stay in our room while he is still nursing all night. Hopefully it will still get here sooner than later because his room is ready to be decorated!

The only remnant left of the office is just a few book boxes Logan wanted to go though. Other than that, I've completely cleaned it out and he now has his own closet!

Its a Boy!!

Here are the ultrasound pics of Connor at 21 weeks, 4 days. Look at that sweet little face! You can even see his teeth in his gums. 

When the technician was getting the shot of his feet he actually had his hand down playing with his toes at first. Adorable! 

Bottom of his little feet! 

Little hand I will get to hold soon :)

Aaannnndd it was definitely a boy!! Haha. She said girls have hamburgers and boys have turtles. Lol. You can see his little 'turtle' facing right. 

Later on she got a real good shot of his boy parts. No doubt about it! He's a boy. (I hope none of you are offended at me showing you my baby's junk. Haha)

We learned that baby is already head down and has his bum all the way up by my ribs. No wonder I already can't breathe! He weights approximately 1.1 pounds and the technician said that everything looked good!

Now I can really get started on the nursery and making plans for this little boy! So fun! 

Half Way There

My Mom took these of me at exactly 20 weeks. I thought it was super cute that on the morning of, I felt the baby have the hiccups for the first time. 

As you can see my t-shirts are starting to look a bit short in front. 

Also as of this week, when I sit down my normal pants are feeling too tight so don't be surprised if you see me with them unbuttoned from time to time. 

At this point baby is about 6.5 inches long and 10.2 oz. I have gained back most of the weight I lost in my first trimester and now weigh about 2 pounds more then I usually do. It seems so strange because my belly and love handles are the biggest they have ever been!

Baby Updates

This afternoon mom helped me with a little photo shoot! Look at my little baby bump! I am at 19 weeks and 3 days.

I have been feeling baby everyday now since I was at 16 weeks! At 19 weeks, baby's kicks really started to get strong. I can usually tell right were he is and sometimes he even punches one side and kicks the other at the same time. It was pretty funny the other day when I could feel it on either side of my belly button. One side would get kicked and then a second later he would punch the other side.

The most exciting thing is that I can now feel him with my hand on the outside! Last Wednesday we ate hamburgers and baby must have really liked them because he kicked me the whole night after that. I actually don't really like hamburgers but Logan loves them and now so does my baby and I am already feeling outnumbered.

Anyway, Mom, Shelby and me went to see a movie that night while baby was kicking so much. I usually don't put my hand down my pants in public but I didn't think it would be too bad in a dark theater. Just before the end, I actually felt him kick my hand. I was surprised that I could feel it over three fingers. My child is so strong (yet another trait he gets from Logan and not me)!

I have felt him with my hand several times now :)

Loving my baby bump!
