Nineteen Weeks.

Today marks 19 weeks into my pregnancy! 

Here I am at 19 weeks. I honestly feel like the shape and size of my stomach changes all day. Some moments its sticking noticeably further out then usual, and then an hour later the bump disappears. Kevin and I took our weekly photo and this one seemed to capture baby boy sitting in just the right spot to make me pop more than I usually do. This is my first baby so I honestly don't know when that bump is supposed to permanently pop and make it more obvious to people I'm pregnant and not over weight. I compare myself to the adorable girls at work who are just weeks ahead of me and think, 'my baby must be tiny'. At my doctors appointment on Tuesday the nurse said I had actually lost weight since my first visit. That kind of worried me but she assured me everything looks good and sometimes that happens. The nurse also reminded me that my baby weighs just about half of a pound. So crazy he is still so tiny.

I work with some amazing women at work, a lot of whom are already mommies and they have assured me soon enough my belly will pop out! I am actually anxiously awaiting that time.

I cannot believe next week I will be half way done and a few short months after that I will finally get to meet my SON! 

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend. The husband is golfing this afternoon with some buddies. I have a few hours to make up at the office then I might sneak away for some baby shopping. 

I am looking for lots of fun things I can use for the nursery! I cannot wait to see the guest room transform to something maybe like this: 

Any readers have thoughts on Nursery "MUST HAVES" I should keep my eye out for? Let me know.

Happy Weekend Readers!

Valentine's Day twenty-twelve

Remember this picture from almost a year ago?

03.18.2011

Crazy how this silly little mistake of overbooking the church house the day of our reception predicted one of the most amazing moments in our lives.

Valentine's day this year topped the rest... by a long shot.

Yesterday, Kevin and I were able to go to Dr. J's office and the lovely ultrasound tech, Lindsey, gave us the most incredible news.

It's a BOY!

When we got in the ultrasound room, Kevin kept calling Baby KFo "him" and Lindsey asked if he knew something she didn't. About a minute later she announced; "Good Guess Dad". It was an overwhelming incredible moment. She pointed to the screen so we could see the discovery. I was so caught up in my little one on the screen that I glanced at Kevin just once to see him smiling, but apparently missed a little emotion he showed as he received the news!

We also discovered that our son is quiet stubborn. During the whole ultrasound he was head down in my bladder. Lindsey tried to get him to move around but all he did was kick his legs a little. No cute profile ultrasound photo but it was so amazing to see that he finally looks like a little person.

I go back in two weeks for my twenty week ultrasound, where he will be measured to make sure everything is growing properly and I cannot wait to see him again! I am already so completely in love with my little boy.

Kevin took me to an early dinner at La Jolla Groves in Provo. It was amazing to enjoy an evening out together and since we went right after the doctors appointment we missed the crazy Valentines Day crowds. I think we both sat there the majority of the time repeating out loud over and over, "we are having a son!"

Fruit Plate Appetizer

Italian Cream Soda

The Main Course

Dessert

Dinner was so yummy (except I was sick today possibly from the food) and I really enjoyed trying something new.

We went to Babies R Us on the way home and picked up two little wall hangings for the nursery. I have decided a Noah's ark theme is what I would like to do for the nursery, so the two wall hangings of an adorable giraffe and elephants were perfect!

Kevin and I kept gifts simple and sweet this year.

Kevin spoiled me with a mini shopping spree at JoAnn's to get paper, glue, and lots of other goodies I needed to use my Cricut that my parents got me for my birthday. Luckily for him I used my new tools and Cricut to make Kevin a little flip book of the ABC's of my love for him. It was fun to give him something homemade and personal. He thought it was pretty cool. I also had a lovely surprise waiting for me at work Tuesday morning.

Kevin's gift to me.

The final product

I cannot think of anything that could have made this Valentine's Day better. Got to spend it with my TWO favorite men and it was just perfect.

What did you do for the lovers holiday readers?

Oh, and how cute are our little neighbors? Josie and Landon decorated our door with lots of hearts about the baby's gender. A great surprise when we got home.

They even helped us take this picture to remember the day.

Hope everyone had a wonderful day and spoiled their loved ones <3
