Braydens Crib and Baby Blanket!


We got this the other day. Johns mom bought it and sent it our way! As soon as FedEx dropped it off, John started putting it together! He was so excited. After putting it together, then taking it apart several times, because he missed a part, this is what we have :). Beautiful!

This is a quilt that my mom made for Brayden(before we knew it would be Brayden). Isn't it perfect? We just love it! Thank you mom!

20 Weeks

I hit 20 weeks on Friday! So I'm half way through! I'm feeling pretty good, I still have my good and bad mornings but I think it's getting to the point where those bad days are going to be fewer and fewer. ;)

Some exciting things have happened within just the last two days...before I "think" I have felt the baby, I wasn't sure. But Friday morning I woke up feeling pretty good and I felt something, I kind of pushed on my tummy and it was hard! It's never been hard before, and there was a "bump". I kind of poked my tummy a few times and sure enough there was a little thud back. I just couldn't believe it. There is no doubt in my mind that it is Brayden for sure this time! I had John come over and put his hand on my tummy to see if he could feel it, but he couldn't which blew my mind because Brayden was pushing so hard!

As the day went on I didn't really feel it anymore, which didn't really bother me because I was up moving around so it would've been hard to feel him. But last night as I was laying in bed Brayden started kicking/punching/moving around in there! It was a lot more then the morning so once again I had John put his hand on my tummy and he kind of poked to get Brayden to kick so he could feel it, but he couldn't :( BUT! Just a little bit before John took his hand away there was a BIG push! As soon as I felt it I looked over to John and his eyes were HUGE! He had felt Brayden too!!! It was so amazing!

I woke up a few times last night to Brayden moving around, so he's definitely getting bigger because I can really feel him in there. I can't wait to get a real baby bump! The pictures that I put up have been throughout this week, and I think the shirts make be look bigger then I really am...

Well, other then that exciting news there hasn't been much else. School is, well...school, it's getting a little tougher and stressful but I'm trying my hardest not to get so overwhelmed. John got a job at a call center, which we are so happy about. It's a great blessing and stress reliever!

That's all of the news that I have for now!
