Happy Birthday Daddy!

Hayden just wanted to stop by and say Happy Birthday to his Dad, who does so much to take care of him already!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!!!

24 weeks

Today I had my 24 week appointment! WOW! Where did the time go? I can't believe there is just over 3 more months till my little man is here! Anyway, things looked good at the check up. I took the gestational diabetes test and passed. I had to drink an orange drink that tasted similar to a watered down popcycle. It actually turned out to be a fun event because the women in the waiting room were cheering me on as I had to get the whole bottle down in 3 minutes!! Felt like I was back in College Station! (just kidding!) But I am so glad that is over. So I go back again in 4 week, then start going every 2 after that (I will be 30 weeks at that point). For those who don't count in weeks, Hayden's due date is the 40th week. So time sure is starting to fly by!

On June 3rd, Adam and I are going in for a 3D/4D sonogram. I am very excited! I have heard that you really can tell exactly what your baby looks like in these. So I am thrilled I get to see his little face! We will be getting a few pictures in color, some in black and white, and then a video of it. I will post those once we go.

Little man finally took the initiative to kick for Daddy the other day. I got 3 swift kicks to the stomach before I grabbed Adam's hand and put it on the spot. Sure enough, about 15 seconds later, Hayden kicked. I was super excited that he finally was able to feel him kick. He moves around so much during the day and I think people wonder if I am just talking to myself when I say things to my stomach. At least Adam knows I am not making it up! hehe (c:

I am going to try and start updating this blog a little more often, so stay tuned for more news soon!! We love you all!!

22 weeks

This upcoming Wednesday will mark my 23rd week. Time is starting to fly by and that's exciting and scary all at the same time!! Our next doctors appointment is on the 20th and I have to go through the gestational diabetes testing. I've heard from a lot of other mommy's that it is not a fun day. Basically I have to drink a bottle of this syrup stuff and then wait an hour to test my sugar levels. YUCK! If that test doesn't come back good, I have to go in for a 3 hour test. I am praying all is well and I won't have to go back!!! Either way, it's good to know. I want a happy healthy Hayden!! Say a little prayer for me and little man!

Hayden is starting to get a wonderful assortment of things from friends and family. We are so thankful to everyone who has already given us gifts and items for him. (Onsies, and bibs, and booties, OH MY!) He is even begining to get a collection of Aggie things!! Let the brain washing start!!! WHOOP!! But that aside, every little thing we receive is a huge blessing and you are all such an important part of ours and Hayden's lives. Thank you!!!


This past weekend was such a great weekend! We got to spend some time with both sides of Hayden's grandparents, great-grandparents, his aunt, and his uncles to be!! He is going to be a very loved little boy! Then on Mother's Day, I was surprised when I woke up to a sweet gift and mom to be card from Adam. I got the most beautiful necklace!!! I don't think he realizes how much it means to me!




I will always cherish this. Adam is going to be such a great Dad!

Hope all the other mommy's out there had a wonderful Mother's Day!
