3rd Trimester....baby!

This whole pregnancy gig is going pretty well!

I just started into my 3rd trimester and I'm still feeling pretty good. Working on the nursery has been keeping me busy. I'll post some pics when it's finished.

If this little boy is at all as active outside the womb as he is on the inside, he's going to come out running! He is constantly moving around & kicking. Bryce felt him kick last Saturday for the first time which was exciting! Now he loves to put his hand on my belly to feel his little boy kick and he's usually not disappointed. Sometimes you can just see my whole stomach move which is a little strange.:)

24 Weeks

I am now 27 weeks so this picture was taken a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure I'm bigger now.:) All I have to say is....... "HELLO, maternity pants! I'm in love with you!!" That is a whole different post though.:) HA!

At my 20 week ultrasound the tech found urine in my little guy's kidneys which they say is pretty common with boys and that as long as it doesn't keep building up there is nothing to worry about. Well, Bryce and I have been worried of course so they decided to do another ultrasound yesterday to re-check his kidneys.

Well we're happy to say- all is well. The urine in his kidneys has decreased and they say they're not worried but will still scan him one more time just to be sure. We're relieved, to say the least! Pregnancy is a stressful thing isn't it??

On a lighter note......take a look at this cute baby boy! 3D pictures are awesome! Bryce says he looks like a Shields and I think he's right! I am sooooooo in love with this little guy and I haven't even met him yet. I can hardly wait!


At one point during the ultrasound our baby boy had his hands behind his head like he was just lounging.:) I'm glad he's comfortable in there! I'll try to remember that when I'm not feeling so comfortable.:) Being a mom has already begun. . . . it's ALL about my little boy.

*Early Easter in B-Town*

I took a short trip to Blanding last week to hang out with my family. Unfortunately, I had to leave Bryce home to work but it was nice to give my family my full attention because we all know. . . . .soon there will be a baby boy getting ALL of that attention.:)

* * *

The kids and I decided to have a mini Easter a week early.

We colored & decorated Easter eggs, which they loved!!

Check out that art work!!

We also decided to have an Easter egg hunt in the front yard. Aunt Bitny hid the eggs and the kids had a blast finding their eggs they colored.

Fun times with Jett & Tenli!!

* * *

It was a great little vacation from work & house duties! I always enjoy hanging out with my mom & dad and allowing them to spoil me.......and the baby.:) You're never too old for that right??

Thanks MOM & DAD for a great week!

Unless I'm in Labor......

If you are a Twilight fan you already know that the Eclipse movie has a release date of June 30th.

That is precisely one week before my due date. . . . but you better believe that this 39 week pregnant Twilight fan will be there with my XL Eclipse t-shirt on checking out Jacob Black (aka Taylor Lautner).:) Is there anything wrong with that??

Or maybe I'll make a t-shirt with an arrow pointing to my belly that says "Future Alice Fan".:) HA!

I love the new Eclipse trailer and am guilty of watching it just a couple times already.:)

If you haven't seen it yet, here it is!

(You'll have to push pause on My Music first.)

A Weekend with Mom & Dad- -

So my wonderful parents made the LONG 12 hour drive to Lovelock this last weekend and I enjoyed every minute of their stay. We did some shopping, baby preparation, relaxing, cooking and played a little Mexican Train. Parents are the best!! I'm not sure what I would do without their love & support.

* * *

My dad brought his truck so that we could pick-up some of the baby furniture in Reno. It was quite the task getting them up the apartment stairs and into the apartment. Very few injuries were sustained thank heavens! The armoire and dresser were in complete form, no assembly required, so you can only imagine how huge and heavy they were.

I love the furniture though, it's beautiful! My dad says it should last through at least 6 kids. My response: Very funny dad! Keep dreamin'!

I saw this closet divider project on my friend Jessie's blog and thought it was super cute so my mom and I worked on some this weekend. I think they turned out really cute! I haven't put them up in the closet yet but I'm excited to see how they'll look.

Obviously my parents have never seen me pregnant before so I caught them staring at my belly a lot throughout the weekend. I kept having to remind them to look at my face when I'm talking.:) They're convinced it grew during the 4 days that they were here and I think they're right! It has really gotten big in the last 2 weeks and what Bryce and I have both realized is that it's not half as big as it's going to get. Yikes!!!

You'll notice in this picture that my mom looks like she getting pushed around by my belly. It happens a lot lately. I keep forgetting that it's there. I pushed Bryce into the closet with it the other day.:) This whole pregnancy thing is so fun right now and I'm enjoying almost every minute of it. Sorry you all have to hear about it all the time but it consumes my life right now.:) Hope you don't mind.
