Baby's movements

I was laying on the couch on thursday just relaxing and my lil' craiger started moving around, throwing a little party. Anyway, I felt my stomach move and I thought I would be able to feel it with my hand if it could move my stomach like that. So I put my hand where "he" was kicking and sure enough, "he" kicked my hand!! I started screaming (from excitement) and I cried. I was so so so happy! It was the coolest thing ever. However, I will admit it did freak me out quite a bit. It's just another one of those times that you have to sit back and go, WOW there really is a baby in there! That was a really awesome day for me, there was a whole lot of movement that day. I really wish Brandon could have been here to feel it. Oh well, he will get to in time and then he'll get sick of me always telling him to come feel haha. Two more weeks and we'll know if our lil baby is a boy or girl, Im starting to get really anxious. I have a few things going on to keep my mind off of it so that's good, or else I would probably drive myself nuts! Well, Im going to go get ready for the day! Thank the lord for our lives, and this beautiful being growing in my tummy!!!!!

16 weeks 3 days ;)

Here is my 16 week belly. Isn't it cute? Im getting big but I still fit in most of my pants and still haven't gained any weight. I know, I know, doesn't make sense right? It doesn't make sense to me but all I do is read the scale and know that it hasn't moved! So my big ultrasound is in a little over 2 weeks. I can't wait!! I'm so excited to find out what we're having!!! We aren't telling anybody that day either, we are going to tell everyone in a special way so don't bother calling me and asking!! haha It gets to be mine and Brandon's little secret for a while and I love that! So I'm feeling really good, my appetite is really starting to increase though. Other than that Im not having any issues. At almost 14 weeks I felt what I thought was the baby kicking. I didn't feel it again for a while but now I feel "him" all the time! Quite a wiggly little baby we have haha I felt him really early but that's ok! It makes me very happy.Well Im going to go now, probably tomorrow I will post the pictures of the bathroom. Its so pretty!

14 weeks

I had a doctor appointment yesterday and Brandon went with me. We listened to the heartbeat which was 161 (I'm still not convinced on the whole "it's fast so it must be a girl" thing. Afterall, both my nephews had heartbeats in the 160's, right susie?!) It was so nice to hear. I hardly feel pregnant at all so I was really relieved. However, we all stopped breathing for a moment there because it took forever to find! I wanted to cry, and Brandon got fidgety, but she finally found it just a pumpin away. Doc says everything looks great and in 5 weeks I go back for my BIG ultrasound. Im super excited! I can't wait to find out what we are having! In case some of you don't know- if it's a girl her name is going to be Audrey Laura Craig and if it's a boy it will be Brandon Earl Craig Jr.....(he just HAS to have a junior :) ) We are just so excited! Afterwards we hung out in Show Low and did some shopping at Home Depot and Walmart. We picked out a new floor for the baby's bathroom and I showed him all the new decorations I have picked out (which I bought today) It's really cute baby jungle characters, I absolutely love it. Im going to take before and after pictures of the redecoration that I will post. Right now the walls are blue and decorated with duckies. Ill post later. As far as the nursery goes we are waiting to find out what baby is then we will decide but I know that for a girl I am doing ladybugs (it's the only thing girlish that I like) I hate all the girly girl stuff so Im not doing it. We are going to make all the ladybug stuff (if it's a girl) and for a boy there is so much I like I can't even make up my mind! Either football stuff, trucks, or more jungle animals! Which would be cute cuz it would match the bathroom. Anyway, this is long and boring so Im going to go now! Bye!
