Doctor Appointment

Austin and I went to my 24 week Doctor appointment this morning at 8am, lots of traffic that early but we got there only a few minutes late. We get really excited to go see Dr. Smith and see how well our baby is growing. I always get butterflies on my way up to Sandy, knowing I get to hear my babies heart beating inside of me. Its amazing!!!! Dr. Smith, measured my stomach first, which is measuring 2 weeks bigger then my due date. He said he is growing really well and that he is going to be tall like his daddy! And then he did the heart beat, ahhhhh.....my best part!!!!! I could listen to that sound all day. Its a good thing I don't have one of those at my house, I would probably never put it down. Brody is healthy, which is all I care about! That is always good news to hear.
Its been really fun, the last few weeks I have been feeling him move around alot. Kicking, wiggling, and rolling around. He gets super excited when his daddy is touching my tummy, its funny how he knows its him, but he does and he starts kicking alot. We love Brody so much and can't wait for him to come so we can hold him and kiss him LOTS!!!!

Mothers

This year was such a special mothers day for me. My very first to celebrate! It was an overwhelming feeling when I woke up and Austin wished me a Happy Mothers Day. To know that I am going to mother to a beautiful baby boy in just 3 months is such a JOY to me and I can't wait to hold him and give him a million kisses!!! Being a Mom is a special gift from our heavenly father, I don't know if I can fully understand the greatness of this gift yet, but I feel the strong power of gods hands in my life and I love knowing that he has blessed me with the chance to be a mom.

Austin and I on Mothers Day 2009

I need to thank the two mom's in our lives that we love and adore. Austin and I talk about our mom's all the time, we love that we were both raised but such strong and radiant women. We would not be the people that we are if it weren't for these two. Thank you for Loving us no matter what and always teaching us the right path to follow. You both are soooo special to us and we can't wait for Brody to experience having the greatest Grandmas on earth!!!!!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!!

Love

I LOVE these two kitties,

because they are always waiting for me at the door when I walk in from work, and they never talk back, they just love me and want belly rubs.

Painting

The other day I got Brodys room painted. Yeah!!!

We also got his crib and changing table in his room, and his curtains hung up. We have a few more things to get before I can show you the finished product.

But, I will say....Its lookin mighty cute!!!!

I had the window wide open and wore a mask,

for all of you that are worried why I am painting when I am pregnant.
I was going to paint his room apple green, but we decided that might not be very boyish, so we just did the tan from the rest of our house. It is soooo cute with his bedding!

That Zebra in his bed, is my FAVORITE!!!

These boots are made for walkin'

These are the newest addition to Brody's closet. Are they cute or what? I know that he won't be wearing these for a whole year, until he starts walking, but I couldn't resist. They are so dang cute and reminded me of his daddy, so they were a must!!! And the best thing is....they were only $5.00, who can beat that?

20 weeks

We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday and got to see how big Brody is getting inside my tummy. He was very active and wiggled alot! I loved seeing his little profile and his hands and feet moving. He is healthy (our greatest blessing) and everything they tested was great! He is growing fast and getting so big, they measured him to probably have a due date of August 31. We will know for sure next appointment if Dr. Smith wants to move his due date to that. I was so happy when she said Its a Boy! Even though we had found out earlier(16 weeks), you never know. I have heard so many stories of people finding out early and then at their 20 week appointment they get told the other sex. Its a good thing its Brody coming, I have bought him all his bedding and painted his room! phew!

Here is the left side of his body. You can see his abdomen,

his arm on the side and his little face and ear.

I LOVE this profile shot with his hand right by his mouth!!!!

Here is the much asked for 20 week belly shot.
