Baby Girl's clothes

So I know shopping is my middle name and Bargain is my game...here's my purchases for baby girl from Labor day.

The start to Baby Girl's nursery!

20 weeks

Baby already weighs 1 pound!

Crib

We got a crib for the baby's room. It's from pottery barn and retails for 600$....but the bargain shopper that I am, I got it for 50$ from a garage sale and it's only 1 yr. old. It looks brand new.

Olympic Swimmer!

We had our 4 months check up today and everything went well. This baby is a stubborn one already. The past two apt. we've been to the first nurse has had trouble finding the heart beat. Makes me always nervous when that happens...(I think the baby knows this and is just doing it to me because it can). So we met our Dr. today for the first time and she seems really great. A very outgoing and personable lady. I think I'll really like her. So she came into the room and we talked for a few minutes and then she tried to find the heartbeat. She stopped and starting laughing. She said "This baby is an Olympic swimmer. It won't stop moving for me to get the beat." Brent and I have always said we'd like our children to be either pro athletes or have really good jobs so they can support us later in life, so maybe we're going to get what we've asked for. Well finally baby stopped and we heard a perfect beat. She said I"m going to have my hands full with this one. Like I didn't already know that with my background and my husbands! The Dr. said everything looks perfect and healthy so far. We go for our ultrasound in 4wks and will be able to find out the sex and get our first picture of the baby. I'm excited to finally find out if baby will be wearing an OSU cheerleading outfit or a Notre Dame Jersey!

You'll be in my heart...always!

Yesterday was our 13 wk checkup. WE HEARD A HEARTBEAT! It's so soothing to know that there's a little baby growing inside and it already has a heart. God's creation is amazing. We go back for our 17wk checkup at mid-July. That is when they test the baby for down's...etc. Continue to pray for us and for baby. We're also going house hunting today. Should be fun! God is good...All the Time...God is good!

This is the Day the Lord has made!

What an awesome and beautiful day today! The sun was shining...it was warm...a nice breeze...God is GOOD! We are now 12 wks into our pregnancy and we are going insane wondering how we're going to be able to wait 6 more months for this little baby to come. I bought my first 'big' items at a garage sale on Fri. I got a brand new pac n play for 20$ and an amazing excersaucer for 7$ which originally retailed for 119$. WHAT A DEAL! I'm definitely the bargain shopper...Momma taught me well! It's fun walking by babies room and anticipating he/she being in there.
Today was just another beautiful day created by God. We had an awesome sermon today from our pastor. He's been doing a series on what it is to Fear God. It amazes me that there are people who think our world and universe all happened with one big bang...or they believe in no god...LOOK AROUND YOU!!! HE IS EVERYWHERE! Sometimes I know I don't fear God enough. I have been so blessed to have a husband who challenges me spiritually and I love talking about God's word with him. So everyone...FEAR GOD! After church we came home and ate lunch, played some Wii, relaxed and then went for a bike ride down to the beach. WHAT A TRIP....so we got our bikes from the garage and low and behold my tires are a little low on air. Leave it to me to think I can just ride with them that way. Hahaha, no way. We aren't two miles down the road till my thighs are killing and my calves are burning. It is so hard to pedal a bike with no air in the tires...I wouldn't recommend anyone trying it. Anyway, my wonderful husband traded me bikes (only b/c I said baby was not liking mommy being in pain) and he road the rest of the way to a gas station...which by the way...aren't close to the beach. We had to go over a dirt road...tore up sidewalks..and HOLES! So we got the air and then headed back to the beach. What a change in effort it took to ride my bike that time. We love our beach and park. So many young couples around, people walking their dogs, kids playing in the sand...it's just very peaceful and relaxing. We stopped on the rocks and sat for a little snack. I love just sitting and talking with Brent. We also dream about what it'd be like to have our own Yacht....never going to happen...but we like to dream. Anyway, we made it home safely and yes...my butt is killing me...but pain is gain...right?
