19 Weeks!!!

19 weeks and the baby is growing and so am I!! :) The baby's kicks/movements seem to be getting stronger as the days go by. We find out the baby's sex on TUESDAY and we cannot wait! No more calling the little one just "the baby" It will finally have a name!! ( As long as it corporates) As each week passes I get more and more excited!! I went to work on Monday and several people told me that I seem to have grown over the weekend. I believe it!! This past weekend was Father's Day. My dad came up and we all went out to eat. My brother also made it in so I was very glad to see him. I got Nick a small gift for Father's Day. I got him the New Dad Willow Tree figurine.

Nick and I spent all day together and grilled out that night. It was a great weekend, even if it was 100 degrees outside. I cannot wait to see Nick with this baby. I know he will be the best daddy in the world. And Lord help me if this little one is a boy because Nick will make sure that he is his mini-me. :) No that will be just fine with me!

Everyone keeps asking what I would like the baby to be and honestly I really do not care just as long as this little one is healthy. It is a gift from God. We are so blessed.

Anyway, here are my 19 week photos:

A funny story....I was standing at the vending machines at work on Monday and a total stranger came up to me and said....."Are you having a boy?" I smiled and said "I do not know yet, we find out in about a week." She said, " I would bet it is a boy by the way you are carrying." She went on to tell me that she had 2 girls and a boy. She told me again that she definitely thinks it is a boy. Then again, I also had a total stranger in Target tell me I was having a girl, so we will see on Tuesday.

This week I have felt really good. I have had some back pain and round ligament pain, but it is all worth it. Also, this week this little one has been so active and also a little bossy. :) I guess the baby does not like the way I sit sometimes and it started kicking and flopping around. I was sitting on the couch and all of a sudden this little one started going crazy! So I lifted up my shirt to see if I could see the little kicks and sure enough there it was. I have been able to see it twice this week. It was the most amazing thing!

I guess that is all for this week. Make sure to check back on Tuesday for the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Love you all!!
