Sometimes you forget to blog that you are pregnant!


Seriously time flies when you aren't very good at keeping up with your blog. :) And yes, its true, we are expecting a baby girl in July. We are so excited and feel very blessed to be adding this little girl to our family. We totally had our minds set for another boy so we were really shocked when they said girl. I had to change my mindset some but after the girl clothes, socks, tights, and bows started coming in, I had a serious change of heart. I am in pink heave and loving every second of it. I haven't taken any pictures of my belly this time around and I felt really bad about it so yesterday I made Aaron come outside with me and snap a few pictures of the growing belly. Its mostly just big, I feel so much bigger this time around. Carson loves to grab my belly and say, "baby!" but sometimes he gets confused and grabs my chest instead. Its easy to see how he would get confused....

I am nesting like crazy this pregnancy. Not so much with Carson, I mean he was born and we were like hm... where are we going to put him. This time I'm like drawing sketches, moving furniture, and getting estimates from painters because I have to have the nursery done! Aaron is in a never-ending busy season and so he can't help very much, well not really at all poor guy. So you may be hearing me say the phrase, "I hired someone to do that," much more often this pregnancy.
I'm losing my mind this pregnancy. I forget everything. I have really started having to write things down more, I mean I show up places and forget what I needed to get. Aaron has never been known for his fabulous memory so between the two of us we are forgetting a lot. :) I am still sick...which is not fun but what can you do? Its not like the horrible, awful, no good, very bad sick I was for the first 18 weeks or so where no one ever saw me but I still feel nauseas after meals and at night. Sweets make me the most sick but does that keep me from eating them? Of course not, I wish I had more self control and I think I would feel better. I am happy to be better than I was though, to quote my pregnant friend Rebecca, " I certainly wasn't winning any Mom of the Year awards." I hated being that sick, I seriously can't even talk about it because it makes me feel so terrible. I know lots of moms go through it but I did not like the person that I was.

And that pretty much sums it up. I feel like its so far away, yet there is so much to do before she gets here. Oh and no, we don't have a name but we both feel like naming a girl is much easier than naming a boy!

Haley!! You're pregnant!! That is so great for you guys! And a girl! Oh man, you're going to love having a girl. So much fun. I kind of hate you a little bit for looking so small and tiny at 5 months (is that right?), because I am soooo huge, and soooo fat, and I just hate hate getting so massive during pregnancy. You look beautiful.
And ps, Merritt TOTALLY pats my boobs too, and says "baby!!"
Almost.

Yay! I can't believe you are so far along & are just now blogging about it. Well you're going to love having a little girl!

Congratulations to you too! How exciting. A little girl will be so fun with all the bows and everything. Jackson says "good morning baby" to my tummy, but sometimes he talks to my boobs instead. I think it's just all the same thing in their minds :)

Congrats!! That seriously makes me so happy for you. A little girl!! I just remember you pulling out that box under your bed at college with that beautiful baby dress in it. She is going to be so beautiful. Hooray!!

Yay! I'm super excited for you! I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well! We need to get together and eat pretzels and crackers and commiserate.

Can I just say YAY for baby girls!! And it's soooo, soooo fun that we're so close in due dates! Just too much fun that we're both having baby girls so close. We really need to move to Dallas soon so these girls can be BFFs. Oh and you are the cutest pregnant girl ever! Definitely not going to post pics of me pregnant after seeing you. :) I still just look fat.

And I hear you on the sweets! And eating them anyway - why don't I learn my lesson?
