26 1/2 Weeks and Christmas

My Beautiful sister Jessica

Jimmy's brother Dallas gave me this Alabama Hat!!

I had a wonderful Christmas!! My Pop and Granny gave Jimmy and I our highchair that we picked out. Of course Santa came to see me and Trey. Trey received some of the cutest outfits and blankets. I received (lets see if I can remember) pajamas for the hospital, cute baby picture frames, a molding kit for my belly (so neat), money, Jimmy got me a Garmin, Jimmy's mother and brother gave us a Wii, Infinity scarves from the Limited, Jessica gave me this beautiful necklace by Waxing Poetic, she also gave me a Willow Tree "Cherish" "Awaiting a Miracle" which is a expectant mother, and I am certain that I have left out a lot of other things but the pregnancy brain is holding me back from remembering!!!!! This time next year we will have our sweet precious little 8 month old boy to celebrate Christmas with. I hope everyone had a Wonderful and Blessed Christmas!! Here are a few Pics from Christmas.

24 Weeks

On December 9, 2009 I had my 24 week check up. Jessica and Jimmy went with me. The doctor said that my blood pressure was good, Trey's heart rate was 136, I gained another 2 pounds (grand total weight gain so far is 12 pounds that equals out to be 2 pounds per month), and my belly is measuring 28 cm. I had my glucose test and I passed!! My iron was low so now I am taking iron pills. So far no constipation (yeah)!!! I am still having a lot of discomfort, pressure and low back pain. I started throwing up again but I can handle that. The pain is what I can not handle. My next appointment is Jan. 7 2010. Enjoy the pics!!

22 weeks

Sorry I have not posted in a while. Been a little busy with the holidays. On November 27, 2009 (the Alabama and Auburn game) Trey started moving a lot. He moved all day long. I told Jimmy that he was excited and was rolling for the TIDE!! He continues to move everyday. His favorite times to move is when I lay down, when I eat and when I get excited. He feels like he is about to come out. I am carrying him very low and I have a lot of pressure down low. I have been told that he is on my cervix and that's why it feels that he is about to stick his foot out of me. I can tell yall that it is the most amazing feeling when he moves. I can not believe that I have a little precious boy inside me and he is almost ready to meet the world. I am continuing to have low back pain and my sciatic nerve kills me. Anyways, here are some photos from my Grandfathers 85Th birthday and Thanksgiving.

20 weeks

On November 11,2009 we went for our 20 week check up. Jimmy and Jessica went with me. Trey is weighing about 13 oz., his heart rate was 139 and he is about the size of a barbie doll. I only gained 2 more pounds. My belly is measuring 22 cm. He was moving around like crazy when we were taping the ultrasound. I have still not felt him since the 1st time. The doctor said everything looks good and I will go back for my sugar test and iron test on December 9, 2009. I am feeling ok. I have been having trouble with my sciatic nerve and my body feels like it can not stretch anymore. I am only half way through. Anyways, enjoy the pics.

19 Weeks

Jimmy and I went to Montgomery this past week for Grand Lodge. Jimmy is in the Masonic Lodge and they meet once a year to vote on things. We got to visit aunt Sue, my uncle Larry, my cousin Hunter and his wife Jeri.
