This was a crazy month for us, and it was incredibly exciting-this month we would find out the gender of our little baby! Now that I'm out of the 2nd trimester, things are supposed to be looking up for me. Honestly, the 1st trimester was pretty easy on me, so I can't imagine feeling better.
I'm ready to see my bump grow!
Last picture together on the island...
14 weeks:
We went in for our last appointment with our OBGYN in Galveston. We wanted to say goodbye to our RE doctor as well, but she had her twins that week! We were bummed not to say bye to her, but we got to say goodbye to the office staff, who, believe it or not, we had gotten to know pretty well from being up there so much the past year.
We got bored waiting for the doctor to come in:)
He said he was going to "scare" the doctor
when she came in...I talked him out of it.
Our little baby:
This was our first ultrasound to get a "good look" at our baby-looking
like a baby! What a miracle it is. The heart rate was good, still in the lower
range, 146..which means BOY if you are following the old wive's tale...
And on top of that, the Doctor made Jordan's day when she said she "thought
there might have been something that would indicate boy" but it was too small to tell.
I went to Dallas with Taylor that weekend before we moved to get some things I wanted
to take to the new house. Taylor and I stopped on the way back down in Austin
to drop off the furniture we had and make sure everything was ready for next week.
While I was in Dallas, I got to enjoy some family time, and go to a Rangers Game!
At Peyton's baseball game-he's a really good player!
Matt and Alethea have the cutest little kiddos:)
At the Rangers Game-missing my hubby!
Getting our little baby bumps-the 2 preggos!!
15 weeks:
This week was the BIG move!! Jordan was trying to study amidst all the boxes:
Zeus was scared about what was going on in the house...lol.
Moving Day 1, Thursday May 3rd:
Saying goodbye to the island! We moved with our friends Josh and Taylor, so, overall,
we had: the largest U-Hual there was,
a truck with a trailer, a mini van, Explorer AND a Prius!
We were quite the caravan.
We started on Thursday morning and got to Austin late that evening.
Moving Day 2: May 4th, we unloaded all day, then Josh and Jordan went back
to Galveston that evening because they had
studying and classes next week:(
Jordan's mom was so sweet to come and help me unpack! We almost
completely unpacked the entire house on Saturday and Sunday. I sent Jordan
pictures of the work we were doing:)
Bella, however, was not working-she enjoyed watching us work.
She loved her new bed.
Living room with new furniture that came Saturday:)
Dogs LOVING their new backyard and porch!
the kitchen took the longest of course...what a beast.
She left Monday morning, I was so thankful for her help!
Taylor and I going out for coffee ( I sent
this pic to Jordan..hence the I love you) :
That week I got a lot of unpacking and
decorating done before Jordan got there.
I wanted to have the house all ready
when he came as a surprise.
16 Weeks:
Taylor and I went to West Elm. Love all the new decor we got
there for the house. She helped me pick everything out!
Loving 6th street!!! Tablescape.
Love the bedding I got there! And the small
accent items from West Elm. The other stuff I got from our Ikea trip:
wall lamps, dresser, and headboard.
Check out the night stands I put together! (I'm super excited
about putting things together b/c I am horrible at that stuff and
always have Jordan do it, but since he's not here, I'm improvising...thanks
to Taylor for encouraging me!)
That weekend Jordan finally came to Austin!
It was so exciting to finally have him there.
He had only seen our house that one day when we
were moving in, so I was excited for him to see it all
together. For an early birthday present, I got him
a new desk AND put it together by myself!
I spend 7 hours on this puppy:
Now he has his own place to study for his first Board Exam (STEP 1)
Although he is sharing it with the guest room, Its still nice to have
his own place. Ahem, I mean, for him and Zeus to have their own place:
BTW, this is what Jordan has been doing for 6 months...
studying in his jammies all day, with Zeus by his side.
Its been a real blast, let me tell ya!
Sunday was my 1st ever Mother's Day. A day I have longed for,
dreamt of and thought would never come.
Although our precious baby isn't quite here yet,
it was so sweet of Jordan to think of me, and get me
flowers, a card and a precious Mothers Love charm from JA.
Next week we go to the Doctor for the gender!! eek!
