Aren't they adorable?
Poor Critter the flash hurts her eyes :(

Talk about paranoid mommy. This one wears a helmet in her house :)

Baby Chris and I are going to war!!

Everything is going fine with the pregnancy except for my BACK!! OMG it hurts. I'm calling the doc tomorrow. I did have a bad back going into the pregnancy which I still have never gotten diagnosed but now it's a gazillion times worse and I have only gained about 9lbs. throughout my whole pregnancy so it shouldn't hurt that bad yet. It hurts when I walk, stand, sit, or sleep. I haven't slept in like a week because I wake up every 3 to 4 hours in pain! Ughhhh! Hopefully the doc can do something for me but for now I'm taking tylenol with codine, don't worry its perfectly safe for the baby who might I mention is already an athlete by the frequent movements he's doing. Chris says there pushups and situps!

21 Weeks

Baby Chris loves riding with mommy in her Lincoln. We're high class!

(little does he know we'll barely be making the car payments once he's born lol!)

Did I mention I only gained 4lbs in 19 weeks? So naturally I was a little concerned and asked the doctor if that was harming anything. He replied no and suggested if I gain a pound a week for the rest of my pregnancy I would be ideal. I knew in my head I probably wouldn't gain any weight until the end and then I'm going to blow up like some kind of balloon. So what happens? I hit my 20 week mark and gained 4lbs. in one week!!! Ahhhhh! When I stepped on the scale that morning I thought maybe I just ate too much but then I noticed that the scale wasn't moving back down for the next 4 days. So yes I have officially gained 8lbs. Can ya tell? I sure as hell can. No stretch marks yet but I'm definitely getting itchy. I received the bedding set my father had purchased for his grandson on the way this weekend! It is sooooo cute! Don't worry I'll post picks of it soon. We'll be going to Lowe's today to pick out some colors and borders so I will show the nursery in progress. Thanks dad!! I've wanted this cribset since before I was even pregnant if I found out I was having a boy. Well Chris and I better hop to it and get to the hardware store. Luv ya'll!!!

It's a BOY!!!

Here are my 20wk pics and just incase you were wondering.....it's a boy. Yeahhhhhh! Chris and I prepared ourselves before we went into the doctor's office. We either said the baby was a girl or we wouldn't be able to tell. Just because we both wanted a boy and that would be our luck. But what luck we had!!! We are so excited!!! I'm finally starting to really show. Can ya tell? Chris got to feel the baby move a couple days ago and it was an awesome experience. Now I just have to stop spending money on baby stuff!
