30 Weeks... and coutning

We have reached the 30 week mark! Hopefully if everything goes well we will only have about 8 more weeks to go!!!
I had my first shower this past weekend, and it was so much fun! I got some of the cutest stuff! Our baby Karly is already spoiled and she is not even here yet! That is what is so fun about it!! I have a few pictures that I will post of some of the stuff that I got!
We are working on her nursery right now, I am hoping to have most of it finished by this weekend. We are going this weekend to try to get the rest of the big stuff! Right now it is a mess because I don't have anywhere to put everything. We are waiting on her dresser to come in, it should be here at the end of next week hopefully! I am going to start washing her clothes this weekend too! That is exciting. It means that the time is getting close!!! I am so ready to meet her!! She has no idea how much love she already has from all of my friends and family! I hope the next several weeks fly by! We have a lot going on so hopefully it will! We have a shower next weekend in Hartselle (where Bret is from), and then we have another one the end of July. And in between all of that we are going to a childbirth preperation class!! That should be fun!!! I am sure that will get me more anxious than I already am!
Bret makes fun of me because I will go in her room and just look at her stuff! I love it! It is all so cute! She is going to be a little princess! And I cannot wait!!
I will put some pics up of the nursery as I get some of it done! Hopefully like I said most of it will be done this weekend.
Oh and can I tell you it is so funny to watch Karly move. I can sit back in the chair and she just goes crazy and you can just watch her. I love it!
I go back to the Dr on Wed June 23. We are going every 2 weeks now! So I will keep you posted on that as well! As for now everything is going good! Other than being tired and swelling like crazy, I can not complain! We are just waiting patiently!! HAHA

Moving right along!!

Well I am 29 weeks today! Sometimes I feel like I have been pregnant forever, but really when I look back it has gone by fairly quick! I am so ready to meet our precious baby Karly! I love her so much already, I can not imagine how I am going to feel when I hear her cry and see her for the first time!!
I went to the Dr yesterday and everything is going good! Other than the 7 pounds that I gained! I think that alot of that is fluid because my feet and legs are sooo swollen. I feel like if I poked them with a needle they would explode! Other than that he told me that everything was going good! I start going every 2 weeks now, so maybe that will help pass the time by!
I started on Karly's nursery FINALLY!! I am so excited! I will put some pics up as soon as I get a chance too! I don't have much done in there yet, but I am getting there. We just got moved in and most of the boxes are unpacked so I decided that it was time to get started on her room. We will never know if she decides to come early or not so I want to get it all done!
I have my first shower this weekend and I am super excited about it!! I am sure that I will have plenty od pictures from that to and I will post them as soon as I can!
As for now everything seems to be going good!!!

27 weeks

I know it has been a while since I last updated this and I am sorry! We have been so busy lately!!! We are now 27 weeks, we only have anywhere from 10 to 13 weeks to go!! We are extremely excited and can not wait for the arrival of our baby Karly! She has been moving a lot lately and Bret is able to feel her! I wish I would have had a camera the first time that he felt her, it was priceless! She kicks him all the time now. It is so funny, she seems to hide every time that anybody else tries to feel her move, but every time that Bret puts his hands on me she moves! She is going to be a Daddy's girl I am afraid of!!!
I had my first glucose test and failed it. I went back for the 3 hour one and thankfully I passed that one, so that is one less thing that we have to worry about!! We start going to the Dr every 3 weeks, but I think after this next appointment we are going to be going every 2 weeks! maybe that will help make the time go by fast!
We have our first shower coming up on June 13, I am super excited about that! It is going to be so much fun!
We are moving next week, so I will finally be able to get her nursery together. It is going to be rough on Bret for us to move and him to have to do most of it by himself, but he assures me that he is ok with that! I will definately put pictures up as soon as I get her nursery together.
We also had our 4D ultrasound done this past week and that was the most amazing thing! We were so excited to see our baby girl! She is definatley going to have my nose and I think she is going to have Bret's lips. It is so wierd to see her and see what she is going to look like. She was precious!!! She kept her hands in her face for the most part, almost like she was hiding from us! It was so cute. She had the hiccups for a while, yawned, and then she had the worst frown on her face for a min, oh and don't let me forget it looked like she was picking her nose in one of them as well (she gets that from her daddy!!!! ) It was the sweetest thing! Bret said all he wants to do now is hold her!! I think that got us more anxious than anything!!!
But anyways, I think that is all I have for now. I will do my best to update more often!!!
I hope everyone has a bleesed day!!!

HALFWAY THERE!!!

We are 20 weeks today!! We have 20 more to go... or less depending on what Miss Karly decides she wants to do!! Haha. Everything has been going good so far. I have started swelling in my ankles but other than that everything else seems to be going good! I feel Karly more and more every week. I can not wait for Bret to feel it! IT is the most amazing thing ever. I am so ready for August to be here so we can meet our precious baby girl!! I love her so much already!! I didn't realize that you could love an unborn baby as much as I love her, I can't imagine what it is going to be like once she finally gets here!!
I dont go back to the Dr until April 21. I think that is just a regular check-up!! Maybe I will not have gained anymore weight... I kind of doubt that though!!
We are looking forward to getting everything ready for her to get here! I am so ready to get started on her nursery!! Hopefully in the next month we will be able to start everything!!
I guess that is it for now!!
I hope everyone has a blessed week!!
Heather and Karly

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!

We went to the Dr yesterday and we are having a GIRL!!! Her name is going to be Karly Michelle.
We finally found a name that we both love! We were both shocked that it was a girl because this whole time I have thought that it was a boy! I am SUPER excited about it though!! Girl stuff is sooooo cute and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color pink!! Although Bret and my sister would rather me get away from the pink a little bit, probably not going to happen!!! LOL
The Dr visit went very well! We had the ultrasound first, and of course were told we were having a girl. Everything measured the way it was suppose to! She weighs about 8 ounces (the weight of a block of cream cheese!!) I did NOT gain any weight!! So apparently the walking that I am doing is helping! I have been walking close to 2 miles on the days it is not freezing or raining... and those you know sometimes are few and far between!!
I have started feeling her! It is awesome! I feel her more and more everyday! I cannot wait for Bret to be able to feel it! It is the best feeling ever!
As fir now everything is good! I will keep the updates coming! We go back to the Dr. April 21!!
Have a great day!! God is GOOD!!!

Movement!!!

Well this morning I finally felt the baby move. It was the craziest thing! I new what it was as soon as it happened though because I have never felt anything like tht before! I was soo excited! I am ready to feel it all the time though! I am even more ready for Bret to be able to feel it! I know that will be so exciting to him!
Not much has been going on other than that! We are looking forward to next Wed when we go back to the Dr to find out for sure what we are having... I can hardly wait!! I will let everyone know ASAP!! Our appointment is at 10:30 so shortly after that we should know something!
That is all I have for now!!
God id Good!

Check Up

I just got back from the Dr and everything went good! The heart beat is strong and he said we were doing great! Although I did gain 3 pounds.... he did not say anything about it though!! I got all of my blood work done, I got the H1N1 vaccine and that was about it! He told me that he would see me in 3 weeks to find out what we are having!! Our appointment is March 23, at 9:30. So we should know then what we are having!!! I am sooo ready!! I am sure that this is going to be a LONG 3 weeks, but maybe I can find something to keep myself busy!! So that is it for now!! I hope everyone has a good week!!
