Atlanta Baby Shower

Our Atlanta baby shower was awesome! We got a lot of wonderful gifts. It was so nice to spend time with family and friends. The drive there was hard on both of us but we made it. Baby Justin has been kicking so much the past couple of days. Today I could see my stomach move when he kicked. It looks like he was rolling underneath my skin. Cazy but awesome. Justin painted the nursery. Love the color!!! He also but the highchair together. It is ready for use. Yes it will be a while for that. I ran around the house like a crazy women trying to prepare for baby Justin. Since we have all the new baby gifts, I am in freak mode. It is very real now which stresses me out. I am very excited but so much to do. It is frustrating that I can not do a lot on my own. Like move boxes, furniture, paint... Justin is being very helpful. I started crying today because I got so frustrated. Justin moved furniture from room to room.. It looks like a bomb exploded but we will get it together. We ordered the crib and changing table. I am so excited to set up the nursery. I have tons of clothes especially 3 mth. I packed them in a box until needed.Today was overwhelming. I have to tell myself do a little at a time.Everyone knows me, I want to get it down ASAP.. Gotta slow down. My appetite is increasing. I have the munches. I have my 25 weeks apt on tuesday. Excited to hear his heartbeat. I think my hips are spreading.. :( Yes I know they need to. Just having a hard time accepting the fact I am gaining weight. Slowly....lol

I can see your kicks now. Wow it is awesome. I love to stare at my stomach to watch you kick. You are getting more active and bigger in my belly. Dad is starting to touch my stomach to feel you kick more often. He likes to watch you move. I go tomorrow to hear your heart beat.

23 weeks

Little guy is growing. I think he is close to my bladder. I feel like I have to pee all the time.. lol.. I think he might be changing positions. He was breach at 20weeks. I have more pressure on my right side. I think that is where his head is. I wish I knew exactly where his body parts are positioned. It would be neat to know what is kicking or punching me. The bond I am developing with baby Justin is increadible. I grow closer to him every day. I am starting to relax so I am able to build that bond with him. It is crazy to know you have a son in your belly. I continue to picture what he will look like. I am sure he will look totally different than I picture when he is born. I am starting to get more tired. Some days it is hard to make it through the day. I just drag. I am only 23 weeks. I heard it gets harder from here. lol.. I need to make myself rest more. I have always had a hard time doing that. I am still trying to workout. Getting a little hard to get up in the mornings and go to the gym. If I don't make it I try to do a DVD and walk. I feel 100% better if I do. We are going to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. I am so excited to see my family and friends! Family and friends are throwing us a shower. I am Very excited!! Jen is coming from Las Vegas! All my berst girls friends are going to be there. It is going to be awesome for my friends and family to see me pregnant. I wonder what Ava will say. It is going to be a long drive but we have done it plenty of times. Justin has not see my friends and family in a long time. It is going to be great!!!!!!!!!!

Justin's Bedding

Justin's bedding came in today. I love it!! It is from Pottery Barn Kids. I love that store. I need to be rich. The bedding in brown and white. lol. I am getting a lot of good ideas from the catalog. I will make them myself. I am going to make a hat rack out of his name. I am going to make colored tin buckets and write cars, trucks ,etc on them and hang them on the wall. Very cute in catalog. I think we have picked out the furniture. We are doing the nursery in vintage sports. I got some great items from Canton for his nursery. He has been kicking more today. I love it! Now if dad could have time to paint the nursey... I am ready to decorate.

Wow.. Baby Justin has been kicking!!! His kicks are getting stronger. It is the most wonderful feeling I have felt. I can't explain it. Only moms know the feeling. If he does not kick for a while I start to talk to him. Hoping he will kick. I love to hold my hand over my stomach as he kicks. Justin has felt it. He thought it was so cool. It is amazing to know a human is growing inside of me. The past two days he has been very active. He is going to take after his hyper parents. I went to canton yesterda.y I found some cute vintage baseball decor for his nursery. I have an idea in my head. Of course I like the expensive things.. Need to learn how to make them myself. I ordered his bedding from pottery barn kids. Now we need to find a crib. We bought the paint. It is all becoming so real. I love it!!!I picture in my head what he will look like. Will he have blonde hair like dad or brown like mom.. He might be a red head... Who knows. Will he have my green eyes or dad's deep brown eyes. I hope he has dad's dimples. They are so cute. Justin was a very cute baby. Blonde hair with deep brown eyes and dimples. I am very exciting to see my family and friends at Thanksgiving. I am sure I will be bigger by then. I know baby Justin is growing. Like I said his kicks are getting stronger. Means he is getting bigger. Justin has not seen my family in a couples years so it is going to be so much fun. I will post pictures of my baby bump and decor soon.
