Time is flying!

23 weeks pregnant! I can feel my wee one move pretty much all the time now. She LOVES jalapenos (or maybe just I do and she is frantically trying to escape my belly) and she gets a kick out of my laying in bed reading...constantly kicking my kindle away. Jason has felt her move and is in awe at the whole process. Im shocked that in 4 months I will have an infant to depend on me all the time. Im going crazy thinking about all the different decisions we will have to make for our daughter to shape her into a functioning member of society. Im getting alot of different opinions on how I should handle the delivery and what kind of religion she should be. In my opinion, I will deliver her however she decides to arrive (preferable vaginally with tons of drugs haha) and with NO mention of "Gods gift" or "miracles". Jason and I have our own beliefs and are quite happy with them. We dont force our opinions on others and dont want to hear about how god gave us this child and we didnt do anything. Im pretty sure that WE planned on this baby, WE 'practiced' and Im going to be pushing her out of my vajayjay. Im VERY grateful that we have had an easy time getting pregnant, that nothing is wrong with the baby, so far, and I am speechless everyday thinking about how amazing this experience is. I take nothing for granted. We can raise our children spiritual and to be good, moral people who do good things, without bringing organized religion into it. Sorry if it all sounds so...harsh all of a sudden but Im just a little annoyed sometimes with the statements that I have been given regarding this subject. Ok, now the good stuff! Belly Picture :)

Slacking a bit :)

5 Weeks preggo, on our Honeymoon in Tahoe at the Embassy Suites! Im a fan of being able to see some definition in my tummy, not like I ever had a 6 pack, but still :)
9 weeks, just 4 weeks later and NO definition in my tummy. Pretty bummed about that haha!
11 weeks. A tiny bump, but its still 'fluffy' not hard or pregnant looking at all.

16 weeks, we find out there is a little girl in there :)

19 weeks, cant suck in my tummy at all, if you look close when Im wearing normal clothes I look like I have a small bump.

21 weeks. If I dont suck it in I actually look pregnant when out in public! It doesnt help that now I am always poking in my right ride, because thats where she is always pushing me!

Well, this last few months have been AMAZING! With the pregnancy and my new job and school...its just been a handful. I am proud to say that I am a TMCC graduate :) I got my AA in General Studies and now have to transfer up to UNR to make a 'Big Girl' decision and set a major. Im thinking Accounting or something in Computers...so who knows. Ive been a bit preoccupied with baking a baby!!
In baby news...Its a GIRL! Im so excited, its been such an easy pregnancy and its just now starting to feel real. I am 21 weeks and 4 days along. I have gained 8lbs so far and I think my tummy is growing like crazy, allthough the pictures Ive been taking are lieing to me. I just started feeling my little boxer kick and move around and its such a cool experience. Everyday the kicks and punches get a bit more powerful and more consistant. We are moving out of our cold cold house and in with Tristan and Michele to save money to buy a house. So the nursery is kinda on hold. We have so many hand-me-downs which have saved us so much! We got a travel system from Micheles sister and Bryces brother, a huge basinet from Aunt Joyce, 2 HUGE bags of clothes from Courtney from work and of course we have bought some stuff for our munchin ourselves. I dont want everything to look like pink threw up all over our daughter so Im trying to keep her wardrobe in white and pale pinks and of course some other fun things. I have some headbows and Ive bought some pink sparkly shoes too! Im going to attempt to upload some pictures now too...
