21 Weeks

Hmmm, I feel like this post will be boring compared to the last post!

Not too much going on right now. We enjoyed our 3 day weekend very much and spent some time working in the yard. It is not as easy to bend over and pull weeds as it used to be. It seems like some of these little everyday tasks are becoming harder. Even doing laundry is more of a chore now, as it is hard to fit my belly between our washer and the wall it faces (tight space anyway). I tire out a whole lot faster than normal as well. Other than that and the occasional mood swing (anger, not boo hoo) I feel pretty darn great!! I think we have decided on the first name of Hudson. We are still working on the middle name. This may change, but it has been pretty consistent for a while now. I think it is a very handsome name, different, but not too different. I just don't want my kid to be the 18th Joey (just for example) in his class and forever known as "Joey R." or "which Joey?". My luck, Hudson will move from number 60 on the top 100 names to number 5 by next year. Anyways.... I have to go to the Doctor every 2 weeks now so I will keep you posted on anything new. Belly pics to follow shortly.

Love,

Cari, Brandon and Hudson (maybe)

19 Weeks

Can you believe it?? me either, half way through already!! 6 more days till we know B or G. We have had a lot of guesses, pretty much 50/50 which doesn't help me out. I wish I had a "feeling", but I really don't know. Not much to report health wise, just a growing belly. It can be painful at times, all the stretching going on. Uncomfortable in my clothes and CAN NOT get comfy at night. Sleeping is no longer my favorite hobby. I guess I will be well prepared for the sleepless nights coming my way. We had a very eventful weekend with our good friends Brad and Eliza getting married and mother's day events. It was very nice to see people I had not seen in a while, including Dad (M-paw)!! It was made very apparent that I, quote: "look pregnant". Here are some pics of us this weekend. I will post belly pics soon.

Love, C&B and our lil' nugget xoxoxoxo

18 Weeks

Only 13 more days until we find out if it's a boy or a girl!!!!! I am just dying to know. The baby is moving around all the time now and I definitely look pregnant. I am feeling great besides some heartburn and sleepiness, but not much to complain about. We finished our patio project this weekend thanks to some helpers. I am really glad to have it marked off the list. Now we need to mulch and landscape a little better. We have a super busy weekend coming up, so if I miss any of you I do apologize!! Our good friends Brad and Eliza are getting married on Saturday and we are very excited to attend their reception. Brandon is glad he will have a designated driver, but I did tell him that when the DD is ready to leave he has to go : ). I have not found anything to wear for sure yet since I am in that in between maternity and regular clothes stage. I am sure I will figure it out!! Not really anything exciting to report. Love you all dearly!! xoxoxo Cari + Baby
