GENDER REVEAL!!!!!!

I am so happy that Tj and I decided to have this party! My friends will tell you, I was completely against it before getting pregnant. I thought they were over the top and totally unnecessary, "who cares what I'm having" was a direct quote. It was one of the most exciting, shocking, nerve racking days of mine and I'm sure Tj's life. It was worth every moment that we reached the brink of insanity waiting to find out with everyone!!!

My friend and co-worker Erica was the chosen one to keep this secret for a whole 8 days!!!!!! Do you understand how long that is, especially when we work together AND because I told EVERYONE at work that she knew!!! LOL! She was interrogated to no avail......Bwwahahaha (evil laugh)!!!! But she did not crack under the pressure and she really came through. She gave me NOTHING, I had no idea what the baby was!!

My nails for the party!

Nursery Fever

I'm going to share my current obsession....our future nursery!!!! I have thought about planning this room for 4 years since we moved into this home. Our "blue room" (1 of the spare bedrooms) has been dedicated to Baby Hazley the moment we looked around this place before I convinced Tj that this house was it. It has the most light of all the spare bedrooms and though it is small I've pictured where all the furniture would go for the longest! If you know me you know that "I saw it on Pinterest" is a very common phrase of mine and for the nursery ideas nothing was more true!! I feel in love with several nurseries on Pinterest but Tj and I narrowed down our favorite boy and girl nurseries. For Baby Boy Hazley we decided on this room.....

 We LOVED the wall color.

Not sure if we'll go with the nautical theme.

We really liked the crib as well.

We bought paint...I couldn't resist!

For Baby Girl Hazley....

I love how girly this room is without having pink walls.

 I would be adding some pale pinks.

Both rooms were found at www.thelittleumbrella.com

Excited to take inspiration from these rooms, which one will it be?!!! 3 more weeks!!!!! I am dying to shop!! Eeekkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!

16 Weeks

4 months down, 6 to go.....

15 Weeks

Looking like this...

Bump Watch

It is now time to dress my bump!!! My regular clothes still fit but at every opportunity I will make Baby H's presence known. This was the perfect time because we had the wedding of Nakhala and Vinh to attend and I was so excited to shop for a dress!

So I wanted something that was tight but not sufficating, I really don't want to start buying things that I can't wear after I have the baby so I will try and stick to the small sizes, for now. I'm sure many of you are chuckling at that last sentence, just let me be delusional ok!!!

14 Weeks- 2nd TRIMESTER!!!!

Week 14, wow! Ok lots of weird things happening, where do I start?!

13 Weeks

12 Weeks

Yay!! We finally made it to 12 weeks. What a relief! I was like all Mommy's to be stressing in the wait to get past the 12 week mark. And now the secret is out.....

Is This Normal?

Let me share with you a couple of text that I receive after sending my best friend pics of my belly in the morning vs. the evening!!

"OMG!! What are you eating?"

"Are you sure that the doctor didn't miss an extra heart beat?"

"Are you bloated? I'm so confused"

"Could you be further along?"

So you're thinking, "she obviously has never been pregnant before", or "it can't be that drastic"

Well allow me...

In the morning.

11 Weeks

10 Weeks

We're in double digits!!!!! My belly is officially the "Itchy & Scratchy" show! What the hell is going on here? How is my midsection already expanding at this pace? It doesn't seem quite right! But I can tell a huge difference is my 8 and 10 week photos. Yes, I'm sure its not twins and no, I have not gained any weight. I know women experience this at different stages, yay for me it has already begun!

9 Weeks

If I wasn't pregnant I'd swear I do just about anything to make my stomach stop hurting!! UGH!!! Why do my insides hate me?!!!! I've had stomach problems since a child and finally decided to spend an insane amount of money to find out what it was a few months back. After an Upper GI, a swallow study and more than a grand, delayed gastric emptying.....seriously?! That's it? Not this gnarly GI bug that grows and gets worse with every bite I take, eating your insides?! Ok fine, I took a 2 week coarse of Reglan, while in Europe might I add, which was a serious commitment! The stomach pain was gone aaaaaannnnnnddddd a month later I'm pregnant, wiping out all the progress I had just made. This was the ONLY thing I didn't want!!! Bring on the nausea, vomiting and excessive salvation (seriously joking) but not the stomach aches!!! -__- This week has been the worst! Hoping it gets better soon, Lord please!!!!!

8 WEEKS!!!

Yay!!!!! Starting my baby bump pics this week! My best friend Blair met me at Joanne Fabrics to choose the background and number display for the pictures. I wanted something fun and I had to make my pics a little more unique with a patterned background that wasn't neutral. I've always loved the chalkboard but it's been done.

Here's the fabric we picked!

Maternity Shopping

= not gonna happen. These people have got to be out of their ever loving minds. It was my first time in the store and I took along my friend Joanne. Every article of clothing I picked up was immediately put back down due to the price tag. Is this a joke? I know the clothes have more material because they are larger but umm yeah not $120 for a par of shorts with a band around the waist. A large size at good ol' Forever 21 will have to do! But it was really fun going in and trying some stuff on, including the 7 month fake belly. Plus the free juice, water and fiber bars!! I know it's pretty soon to be shopping at the maternity stores but I had a reason! My husband got me a gift card to Destination Maternity for our anniversary, a week after we found out we were pregnant :) How sweet!! There was a promotional sale so I couldn't resist. Wondering what BM stands for, you guessed it "baby momma"!! LOL!
