Nursery Furniture

Here is a picture of the nursery furniture we bought. It should be here in a couple of weeks! We are hoping we will know if we are having a boy or a girl by the time we go and pick up the furniture so we can look at the bedding while we are there. No picture of me this time, but I can tell you that I'm still growing! I went to a baby shower last weekend and my belly was only about an inch smaller around than Sondra's, who was 7 months pregnant. Pretty sad! We measured my belly the other day and it was 38" around. I wish we had been measuring all along, but at least we can measure until the end.

15 Weeks or as Jason would say "Barefoot and Pregnant"

I had originally thought that it was me who wasn't taking very good pictures, but I decided it's my photographer, hehe. Jason insisted on using this picture. He keeps saying "barefoot and pregnant". I don't know what his obsession is, but I just keep thinking he wanted everyone to see the new carpet. I think Macy might like the carpet more than we do!! I went to the doctor today and I only gained 3 pounds in between visits this time, thank goodness! However, I have been asked by multiple people if there is any chance there is more than one in there. By the looks of this picture at only 15 weeks, you may be thinking the same thing. I don't mind the big belly, but I don't think it really looks that big in person (Jason says it does). The nurse said the baby was really active yesterday because the heartbeat was 170 beats per minute. Jason and I go back on October 9th for the big reveal so mark your calendars, but don't everyone call at once!!

P.S. - Jason wants everyone to know it's not all about me. He would like to publicize the fact that he killed 2 geese on opening day!!

First Day of School

I wasn't going to post anymore side shots, but I had too much arm fat in the front shot. And the fact that my neck starts at my chin now, there really is no good angle for these pictures!!! I survived my first day of school. I felt good all day until I got home and then the headache set in, but I have found that going to bed at 9:30 fixes everything!!! I'm 14 weeks right now. I go back to the doctor next Tuesday and then I have to wait about 4 more weeks to find out if Baby Whitlock is a he or a she!!! My mom has decided we're having a curly brown haired boy! We still think it's a girl!!! I almost referred to the baby as "she" the other day, oops!! Well that's all I have for today. Check back next Tuesday or Wednesday for more!

3 months

I don't know who had the idea of starting a blog and posting a picture of me every month, but I'm thinking I don't really like the idea anymore!! 3 months into pregnancy and I've gained enough weight to be 6 months. Oh well. The doctor did tell me that he did not see me being obese down the road. Thank goodness!! I heard the baby's heartbeat today!! It was 160 beats per minute. I was really hoping for a prediction from the nurse since Kelly's nurse guessed she was having a boy based on the heart rate. Anybody have any predictions?!? I go back to the doctor in 3 weeks. Hopefully the rate at which I gain weight will decrease. If not, you are going to start seeing pictures from the neck down. I can't stand for people to watch my face blow up anymore!! I'm fine with the belly bump, but I have to draw the line somewhere.

Bermuda

Jason and I are not good at remembering to take pictures on vacation. I was reluctant to post this picture, but Jason made me since it was all that we had to show for actually going to Bermuda. We waited until the last night to ask someone to take our picture and then we didn't have a chance to get a better one in a better outfit or one without me in it, haha. I'm pretty sure the baby is growing in my belly, but I feel like all the weight is being added to my face and arms, ugh!!! At least you can enjoy the Bermuda scenery in the next pictures.

We had to walk uphill or up steps to get most everywhere. It didn't help burn many calories though! This picture was taken from the top of the resort at sunset.

Jason took this picture on the first day. This was the only other day we took pictures. This is the view outside of our room. We enjoyed the calm waters of the bay, rather than the waves on the actual ocean.

2 months - getting fat, not round!!

Well here I am!! Do I look a little different? How do you like the brown hair? I decided I might as well change my overall appearance since everything else about me is changing. My belly is getting bigger, but not quite taking the shape of a pregnant belly yet. I've traded in my apples and bananas for donuts and cookies. I guess you can see why I'm getting fatter after weeks of eating junk food. Oh well, junk food is the only thing keeping me from feeling sick every waking moment. Hopefully I start to feel better after the first trimester or we might have to consider adopting siblings for baby Whitlock, he he!! Watch for more pics of the baby bump!
