Weekly Updates!

This past weekend we had so much fun! The guys had a golf trip to RTJ Prattville for the weekend, so my sister and the kids came and spent the weekend with me and mom. Great weekend had by all (right Jenn????) I got to register for baby boy, which was fun but tiring at the same time. WAAAAAY too many choices out there for babies! I mean really....what baby needs sippy cups in 10 different colors??? (I guess my baby does, since I did register for like 3 different ones :))After 2 1/2 hours at Babies R Us, we decided that was enough for one day. I have started my Pottery Barn registry online, but still need to go in the store to finish it.

This week I enjoyed Veteran's Day off and shopped for baby furniture. Hopefully we can get everything ordered by this weekend and get started on his room!

Here is this week's Preggers Update!

This Week's Update!

I hope everyone had a wondeful Halloween weekend! We had major plans for the day....watching college football ALL day (I'm talking about from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.), having a few friends over, and giving candy to all of the kids who came by. Wow....things sure do change in a year! Last Halloween Austin and I dressed up as Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson and went to Halloween parties. This year we did not dress up at all, went to bed around 10 p.m., and Tony and Jessica are no longer together....sad day! At least Auburn beat Ole Miss!

So here is my weekly pregnancy update!
How far along? 20 weeks
Total weight gain: I have not stepped on the scales this week, so I'm sticking to last week's #....6 pounds
How big is baby? About 10 1/2 ounces, and the length of a banana!
Sex: Boy!
Maternity Clothes: Oh yes...
Stretch Marks: Nope, but am addicted to my preventive creme!
Sleep: Depends on the night. Pretty good this week.
Best moment this week: Getting my hair cut this afternoon, which I am SO looking forward to. My hair will not stop growing!
Movement: I did get a swift punch in my belly yesterday...be nice to Momma!
Food Cravings: Sneaky Pete's Hot Dogs (yummy!!!!)
Labor Signs: none
Belly Button: Still in, but it is getting a little more shallow. I will DIE when/if I get an outie!
What I miss: A lot of thing...
What I'm Looking Forward to: Feeling movement every day
Words of Wisdom (I should change this to weekly gripe):I can't stand people who say to me "Wow, you're really starting to show!". I know that...I look at myself every day in the mirror....I am aware that my clothes are getting tighter and tighter....Why do you people feel the need to call me out even more!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! My sister and the kids are coming in town for a fun weekend of shopping, and helping me set up my registry. I can't wait!

Baby Baker!!!!

Yesterday we went to the doctor for our first ultrasound. Baby Baker is breech, which made it a little hard for us to see the goods, but baby finally cooperated and we are SO excited to announce that we are having a BOY!!!!!! After some moving around from both myself and the ultrasound tech, she was finally able to get a good glimpse of him in all his glory!

So, any of you boy mammas need to be sending some advice my way! As I told my sister yesterday, I have NO CLUE what to do with a boy. We are so excited though, and he is measuring perfect, no problems so far!

We are almost officially halfway there, only 20 more weeks left until we meet our precious baby "Will". His name will be William Mathews Baker, and we will call him Will!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. We'll be cheering on the Tigers tomorrow as they take on Ole Miss! War Eagle!

Baby Baker Update!

I went to the doctor yesterday. Not very eventful, but did get to hear the heartbeat! The nurse said it sounded like a boy, but we'll see in a few weeks! We set our ultrasound up for Thursday, October 29. Then we'll know if Baby Baker is a boy or girl! We are so excited to find out!!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. War Eagle!!!!!!!

We're Still Here!

Obviously I have tons of updating to do! Here goes:
We are now 14 weeks pregnant. My next Dr. visit is Thursday, Oct 1. Dr. Edwards told us at that visit we can set up our ultrasound to find out what Baby Baker is! Hopefully the ultrasound will be around the 3rd or 4th week of October.

Last weekend we were EXTREMELY busy! Friday night, I went with the girls to the Taylor Swift Concert! We had SO much fun! Taylor is an awesome performer! Kelly Pickler opened for her, and I am now a HUGE KP fan! She was really good, much better than she is on the radio. I've never been a huge fan of hers, but am now hooked to her music!

Saturday morning we got up and made the trip to Auburn for the AU vs. Miss State game. We had an awesome day and it was great to see everyone. It really makes you miss those college days though!

For this week, we have had a million things going on. To top everything off, I now have a bad sinus infection, so am even more exhausted than I have been the past few weeks. Hopefully I will be feeling better soon!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I PROMISE to post pictures soon!

Our News!

So, I mentioned this in my "About Me" section, but Austin and I are expecting our first child! We are really excited. Our due date is around March 21, 2010. We got to hear Baby Baker's heartbeat yesterday, which was AMAZING!

We are about 12 weeks along. No belly posts yet, but I promise to get pictures up soon!
