25 weeks
I can believe how quickly time passes! Just seems like yesterday that we found out we were expecting. I am adding some pics from the beginning so you can see baby Frederick and also see me grow…haha!
We had another ultrasound Tuesday because they were not able to get a look at the 4-chamber view of the heart last time due to the way baby's position…fine with us, we love seeing our little guy on the big screen! This was the first u/s that I really got emotional! We saw him with his little thumb in his mouth and then waving at us…too cute! The doctor also got a good laugh because baby Frederick was very active and kicked really hard and knocked the wand out of his hand. He said that with very small people (I loved hearing that!!) you are able to see and feel the movement more on the outside more but he hadn’t felt a kick like that in a while. Guess we have a very active little boy! We got some great pictures and he was the cutest little thing. Our last pictures haven’t been that great because they had issues with the printer. Baby’s heart looks great and they were able to get all the views they needed.
New this week:
Take a look at my belly…baby Frederick has really grown in the past 2 weeks. I haven’t gained anymore weight but he’s starting to pop out more. I love it and can feel him move all day. And for the first time on Sunday night, he woke me up moving around. I got a good laugh out of it and thought to myself; maybe he wants me to change positions. Now he wakes me up nightly...haha! I have been having trouble sleeping and can’t get comfortable but am now sleeping better thanks to the Boppy that my mom bought me. It’s a pain to get comfortable with but once you get settled, it’s a life-saver! I am a stomach and back sleeper so having to sleep on my side has been a challenge.

We finally ordered our glider chair after many trips to a local store to compare fabrics. It’s so hard to tell by a little swatch how the chair will look in person. We decided to go with a tan velvet/suede type material that is sooo soft! Thanks for my mom for buying the glider and ottoman for the nursery! We ordered it from H. Stadiums in Kinston and mom will drive it up in 4-6 weeks. I can’t wait!
Alicia and Neal came to visit this past weekend and we had a great time. We went to Alexandria to try on bridesmaid dresses which was so much fun! It was fun trying them on at 6+ months pregnant but even the sample sizes 8 & 10 were too big even on this belly…ego booster for me. The dresses she picked out are so pretty and it’s definitely one that I will wear again…seriously, it’s really cute! I think they were a little shocked to see how big I am now…honestly I am too. We had such a fun time just catching up and relaxing…oh, and shopping. We bought some really cute outfits for baby Frederick. Chris was too funny looking at all the baby stuff, he loved everything. Well, except for the shoes…we both can’t understand why infants need high-top Air Jordan tennis shoes or infant girls need a slipper with a little heel??? But we had a great laugh.
We decided to put a ceiling fan in the baby’s room because we have read several reports on how it helps to prevent SIDS. Big Thanks to Bud and Andi for coming over this weekend to install it! We are also going to paint the accent wall this weekend and work on the closet and replace the doors and get some type of organization system installed. And if we have time, we plan to paint the bathroom and install a new faucet and framed mirror…boy do we have a busy weekend ahead of us. I can’t wait to decorate!
Hope to post pictures next week of our progress this weekend…wish us luck with the painting!
