Prego Update:1



       

How many weeks? 24 Weeks
Gender: GIRL
Maternity clothes? Yes, but don't like maternity clothes style.  I just shop for bigger size pants and shirts.  
Sleep: Decent with two pillows under me for heartburn control.  Still get up to pee throughout the night.
Symptoms: Cramping, stretching, back aches(waddle till my body adjusts when I first get up) hahaha.  Braxton hicks!
Best moment this week: Love feeling Cali's kicks, Macie constantly kisses my belly and giving loves to her baby sister.
Movement: kicks down low, flips, lots of movement around 10pm
Food cravings: Steak, fake cheese, milk, sweets
Belly Button in or out? Out
Wedding rings on or off? On
Names: Love the name Cali(always have)  It seems to fit so far ; )
Nesting/Preparations? What have you done? narrowing ideas down for her room.  Getting excited to actually create my ideas : )  
Looking forward to: maternity pics with my sista!!! 

Yes, Its a GIRL!!!  I was pretty shocked honestly when we found out.  I was sure it was a boy....hahaha!!!  Just proves that I really don't have a clue.  Macie was thrilled!!!!  Dalan was.....well, sad that he won't have a wrestling or video game buddy : ) But, in all honesty, we are THRILLED....she is healthy and we get to welcome another beautiful girl into our family!!!!  What a blessing she already is to our family ; )  

I am so excited to prepare her room for her arrival.  I am not feeling pink this time around for some reason.  Maybe her personality will reflect my feelings...who knows.  But I am having lots of fun brainstorming and getting inspired for our sweet baby love : )  

My sister Noelle has offered to take maternity pics for me.  So excited!  I have never appreciated being pregnant more than I do now.  It is such a miracle, such a gift, such a blessing, an unconditional love that runs so deep.  Motherhood is a definitely a gift from God!  





"Before you were conceived I wanted you. Before you were born I loved you. Before you were here an hour, I would die for you. This is the miracle of a Mother's Love."
