23 Weeks!!!

23 weeks already...where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday I was feeling his first little movement and I was thinking back and when I first felt a kick was at 16 weeks. That seems like yesterday and here we are almost to the end of July!

Baby Brayden is growing more every week and you can see the difference in me. I was talking to a random girl in Target the other day and she was telling me that she just had a little boy in February and she was telling me how much she hated being pregnant. I could not believe it. I LOVE being pregnant and knowing that there is this little miracle is growing inside me. I told Nick the other day that I cannot wait for Brayden to get here, but I will miss being pregnant. I am so blessed to have had a good pregnancy so far and I pray that God continues to watch over me and this little guy.

I went to visit my mom this past weekend and of course we went shopping. She bought him his first pair of Nike's! They are adorable!!

She has also been buying things here and there for him. Here are a couple of outfits that she got for him....

Mike, my step dad, also had to buy one for Brayden.


While I was shopping with my mom we got Brayden all kinds of UK gear! It is adorable and his daddy (who is not a UK fan) even thought it was adorable. Check out his new gear....

I went to eat with my dad while I was in and he got Brayden a UK onesie as well.....

He will be all decked out for basketball season this year. :)

I also found this cute little overnight bag for when we stays overnight, if I ever give him up for the night :) I just had to get it!

My mother in law bought Brayden a cute little camo gown that his daddy fell in love with. It is very cute as well.....



While I was home my mom took my 23 week photos, so here they are......


We are both definitely growing. I am still feeling really good. I am starting to have a lot of foot cramps and charley horses in my calf muscles. Getting woke up in the middle of the night by one of those are loads of fun! :)

Nick was off Monday and Tuesday of this week and I think that he was itching to start putting some things together. He started with the stroller and car seat. My dad got this for us as an early baby gift. Here is what it looks like.....



Of course Winston has to get in on the action. :)

The next night he put together the bassinet. I think that it looks really cute!


My mom bought us the pack n play that we wanted, but he has not put that together yet. He cracks me up because he is so excited to get everything put together. I would not have it any other way. Here is the picture of the pack n play that we got.


This weekend my mom and I also painted the letters that we will hang on his wall. I also got his baby bedding in and it is absolutely adorable!! It is even cuter than in the pictures on the website and even more cuter than what I expected. When we get the room in order I will be sure to post pictures!! :)

It is hard to believe that I am almost 6 months pregnant. I definitely think that I have grown in the past week. I was reading that everything is formed and now Brayden will begin to pack on the pounds. According to one thing that I read, he should at least weight a pound now. :) Still so very tiny!

While my belly gets bigger, Nick makes all these cute little comments about it all the time. He thinks that my belly is cute and he tells me that I am even more beautiful now that I am carrying our baby. I thought that was so sweet and I told him that he needs to just keep telling me that. :)
Well I guess that is all for now!! Hope you all have a great rest of the week!!

Love you all,
Nick, Amy and Baby Brayden!
