25 weeks

I wish I had something interesting to write about being pregnant but (knock on wood) I have had a pretty easy one so far! We hit 25 weeks Wednesday and I have kept myself pretty busy painting his room. I am proud to say it is finished and i love it!

Here is the 25 week picture, please excuse the clothing it was after church and I keep forgetting to take pictures so this is what you get!

By this week Norris is measuring around 13-14 inches from head to toe. He weighs between 1 1/2 to 2 pounds and is slowly starting to put on some fat! As for me I feel him move all over, I haven't experienced him in the ribs yet and he really doesn't bother me much not even at night, guess he knows how much I like my sleep! Jeff still has not seen him move but it is because he doesn't watch long enough. Oh and by the time he gets to bed and I try to get him to see he's far too tired. The man is a busy busy guy right now with working full time and getting his masters, I really don't see much of him during the week and feel so bad when he is so stinking tired! What an amazing guy I married and can't wait for him to be a dad! We are counting down the days when the baby will be here and when he will be done with school and able to enjoy each other once again!

Diddy goes to Vegas

Last weekend Jeff was invited to play in the worlds softball tournament in Colorado so I decided that would be the perfect weekend to get the baby registry done. I have become rather picky on who I let watch our dog as he is quite spoiled and the babysitter I wanted wasn't available... until I was already on the road. So I packed his things and prayed it would go well and to my surprise it did!

You could say we have come a LONG way from back when I wanted him GONE! With Jeff working and doing his masters full time right now my little B gets a lot of attention and keeps great company these days!
A quick thanks to the parents for putting up with him and their little dogs that did not like him one bit! It was a good time!

22 Weeks

Ok this post is LONG over due but that's life. I'm terrible at posting on time and on the right week but I have lots of pictures for myself! I'm 23 weeks now and probably a little bigger but I have yet to take those pictures so all you get is last week!

Ok here is where I pretty much started showing a little... I think around 9 weeks

...and here we are a week ago. I feel HUGE!

Ok ok, I know everyone is going to say I'm going to get so much bigger but really I don't want to think about it. I never thought I would be so emotional at watching my body change and struggle so much with it, but I am! The hardest part has been getting use to not being able to move and do as much as I use to. Yes I can if I want but I pay for it later! Jeff is probably tired of hearing how bad my back hurts, poor guy! But enough about me!
Baby Norris is growing stronger every day! It is so fun to watch him move and to feel him so much throughout the day. I tried to get Jeff to see him move but he wasn't patient enough and claims he saw but I'm not sure if I believe him or not. But he can feel him and has noticed how much stronger the movements have become.
Some stats of Our little Norris:
He is about 11 inches long and weighs almost a pound.
His face is becoming much more baby like with formed lips, eyes and eyebrows.
His body is working on gaining fat and the inner organs are still developing and beginning to work together to prepare for the world outside!
I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I really feel as though I'm starting to run low on time as the holidays come closer. We can't wait to meet our little man but we'll be more than happy to wait until January so we have the best chance of a healthy baby!
