22 weeks: Our Little Papaya

To our sweet baby girl! Your average size it about 12 inches long and 1 pound. I can't believe how fast time is going. I feel like you will never get here but then I feel like you will be here so soon. I think you are now on your own sleep cycle which I read this is about the time you start one. I usually feel you kick me between the hours of 12-2, 6-8, and 10-12. Then I am sleeping from about 12-10am so I dunno what you do during that time. I usually wake up about 3 and 7 am to use the restroom. I am tired a lot but that could also be because of the 105 degrees everyday here in Dallas. We only have one more week and 3 days until we fly to Newport with my family! I feel bad leaving your dad behind but he will get his trip in December when we go to Florida! This week wasn't that exciting it consisted of the usual pool, store, shopping, netflix. We did however go to Jeremy's Uncle and Aunts which I guess are mine too. We had a nice Sunday BBQ with them. We found out Courtney is having a GIRL so that means you two will automatically be BFFs so hope you like her ;) I am really nervous to start student teaching after I get back from California but after that you will be born and I will be done with school with a Bachelors in Elementary Education which I am unsure at this point if I will even use. You just kicked me I love feeling you kick however sometimes it hurts but I am willing for that to happen just keep on kicking girl. We are very lucky to have your dad in our lives he works very hard out here. Hes a keeper :) Keep growing healthy and strong.

Love, mommy and daddy

21 Weeks: Our Little Banana

You are getting huge! So am I! This week I actually thought my stomach was getting smaller but was I wrong. Looking at this week picture to my last week I am about double haha I love reading about everything thats going on each week with you. Your average size is 10.5 inches long and 12.7 ounces. Well this week in Dallas we did our usual things. Saturdays=AppleBees with everyone, Sunday we went with everyone to the Farmers Market, Monday-Saturday consists of the boys working, me scheduling smokes detectors, pool, and gym. This week was a more stressful week everyday seemed to bring another problem. One day when I just wanted to cry and your dad was doing his duty of making me laugh. You decided to kick me really hard so many time. It was really fun to feel you like that. Dad says you were mad at me because I woke you up from my crying so I am sorry :)  Now you are kicking so hard so its fun your Dad can feel you. Sleeping at night is getting very uncomfortable and if I could wish one thing of pregnancy would go away it would be getting up 20 times to pee in the night. We only have two more weeks here in Dallas and then we are off to Newport with my family! Then back to Utah to start my last semester which is Student Teaching for me. Dad is working really hard here in Dallas he is a going to be a good dad and he is a good husband.. we will keep him.

love, mommy and daddy

20 weeks: Our Little Cantaloupe

Hey baby girl: We did it, We did it, We did it, Hooray! We are half way there! This week your average size is 6.5 inches and 10.6 ounces. This next week you grow a lot about 4 inches.. crazy! This weeks photo I had a little trouble with. I was having a bad hair/face/clothes day so I went with this picture because my head it kinked to one side and you cant see my face which is good. Today I put on a skirt that I had no problem with wearing before and today it wouldn't even get close to zipping up. Then I put some pants on to make sure I was still fitting in something and my pants barley fit I dunno how much longer I will wear them I give it until next week. Today I asked your sweet dad if I was starting to look huge/fat his reply was"I would say you are pregnant" I said again, "But would you say I look fat?" he again replied "I would say you look pregnant." Your dad is a jokester so I am not sure if he was trying to be funny or really just didn't want to tell me. I am going to go with the fact he was trying to be funny. This week in Dallas we went swimming, went to the mall, went to a baby store and bought you the cutest swimming suit I think ever made. It will fit you for our Florida trip and thats about all but its darling. You move a lot and I like when I feel you kick on the outside of my tummy. This may be TMI but I pee every 30 minutes, at the last ultrasound they said you were just kicking my bladder and I don't think you have stopped. I am starting to give up running, every time I start I have to pee even if I just went its like automatic. Well thanks for being a little cutie that I just love keep on kicking.

Love, mommy and daddy

19 Weeks! Our Little Mango

To our baby girl: I don't know how they compare you to a mango when they say you are about 6 inches long and about 8.5 ounces I just don't understand. Well say hello to my baby bump. I look pregnant right. Yes I feel large and in charge people. "Its only the beginning" I know I have heard that about 50 times. This was an eventful week we had. Saturday we had our annual forth of July breakfast with the family up the canyon. Then we went to Nash's birthday party. Then I went and got my hair did by Alex. She colored and cut it, shorter hair yay much better. Then we went down to provo and watched the stadium of fire fireworks which were unlike any I have seen before. Sunday ya know went to church and all. Monday we went down to Mckenzie and Greg's and did the best fireworks ever (I am sure Ellie thought so)! We had watermelon, pizza and even cookies and milk :) Then we flew to Dallas on Thursday and saw daddy (best day in awhile) Now we are chilling in Dallas for the month. Well its been fun so far being back we will see how this next week goes!

Love, mommy and daddy

18 weeks: Our Little Sweet Potato

To our little baby girl! You are about 5.6 inches and 6.7 ounces. You are getting real big in there! I feel you a lot now. At night when I am going to bed I think you just love to wake up and start dancing. I have felt you kick and punch me many times. Today was the first day I woke up and my stomach still looked a little pregnant. (SEE BELOW: I was debating on if I should post these but its just to funny and crazy that you have to understand what I mean). This past weekend we stayed at my sisters house. We went swimming, had cake and ice cream for Kaden's birthday and made smores. yum. It was a great time. My uncle is here from Australia so we have been out to eat with him and the family a few times. Last night I had crab. (that is my favorite food) It was AMAZING. I just want more now. dang. We also went to breakfast with some girls from school. We go back to Dallas in 6 days!!! I am so excited you have no idea I have really missed your daddy. We have one more doctors appointment next Wednesday before we leave. We have a fun week ahead with the forth of July coming up. We have our annual breakfast, I am getting my hair cut tomorrow and the stadium of fire! So hopefully this week will go by fast so we can get back to daddy! Oh yes one more thing. I booked our flights to Florida for Christmas!! We are staying a full two weeks and a day. I am hoping you come a little early so you will be at least 3 weeks old when we go! I hope you will love the beach. We are going with Uncle Dane, Aunt Stephanie and cousin Pax. It will be a lot of fun!!

Love, mommy and daddy

Okay this is what I was talking about people. Every morning I wake up and I don't look/feel pregnant. Then by the end of the day I look/feel pregnant. I told everyone I got so much bigger at night and no one believed me so I took pictures to prove it. I took this last week at 17 weeks. I took one when I woke up and the same day the other right before bed.

I am not sucking in or pushing out in either of these photos! Same day photos
