March Update

Yes, I know my blog post titles are verging on lame!  We have had some really hard laughs together the past month to the point where tears come out. One night we were driving home from a date and Ryan kept hicupping. It sounded exactly like he was drunk. We could not stop laughing! So, not only did Ryan sound like he was drunk, we looked like it also (since he was the one driving that couldn't see due to the tears). We had to pull over to gain composure so a cop didn't come to the same conclusion. 

Here is a pic of me at 19 weeks. Yes, here is me with gorilla arms. I was trying to position them so you could see the belly. When, if ever, in pregnancy, do pictures turn out exactly the way you want them to anyway?!


Here I am at 25 weeks (today). Sometimes I feel like she grows twice as big every night while I'm trying to sleep, haha. Actually, I sleep pretty well. It's the part when I wake up in the middle of the night that is the problem. I sleep with one pillow for my back or sides and two pillows under my head. It helps A LOT. I like to just sit and think about her and how our lives will change. I like to think about what color of hair she'll have (I think brown and Ryan thinks red) and when she'll make her debut. I like to think about holding her and I prefer skipping over the part where she comes and I'm in labor. She's scheduled to come in 3 1/2 months (I'm officially in the 3rd trimester!) and I am just so intensely excited to be a parent as is Ryan. She moves all the time and we just are so excited.

She is going to be a beautiful baby! She is lucky to have you both for parents. Once she is here, labor will be a mere memory and you will know it was worth every second as you hold your precious baby in your arms.

Well, I have just had my first crying session for the day.

By the way, if I were pregnant right now, I would be very mad at you cause you are NOT that big! You are one of those lucky people that hide it very well.
Sure love ya!!

Your life doesn't change as much as everyone says... just keep doing what y'all do and drag the little booger around with you! It is the BEST thing in the world! You look wonderful!

I am so excited for you guys. I cannot wait to see pictures of her. I think she will have red hair too. I love your hair and she'll probably have it too. She is going to have the best mom ever. You are going to do great.

You are so cute! I think one of hte funnest parts of having a baby is guessing what they will look like and who they will look like! I love finding ourselves in Katelee's features. I'm sure she is going to beautiful!

You look so stinking cute! Your belly is so tiny...i am guessing you aren't going to get very big. I am 16 weeks and I dont even have a slight bump...its kind of depressing sometimes! I am so glad you guys are doing well! Did you ever decide on a name for her? How are Mark and Ginger doing? I hope all is well!

Looking good, Cecily! :-)

It is so much fun once you start to feel them move alot! Just wait till the end, you'll swear she's about to stick a leg right through your belly. You look so cute and I know how exciting it is. Although 3 1/2months will be here quick, I bet it feels like forever.

Toni said...

Yay! Look at that little lady hump! Have you felt those hiccups yet? We do need to get together again soon! I'll email you soon.
