I can not believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by!!! I only have approximately 18 weeks left! Where did the time go? It seems like I just found out yesterday that I was prego!
We got most of the nursery done this weekend :) Thanks to my sister and Levette. They got the painting mostly complete. Levette has to touch up the corners and borders tonight. I got the tree finished. I just got to put a few owls on there. Then we just have to paint the dresser and arrange everything. Then we are set. I think we will wait til closer to clean the carpets. But it is looking fabulous. And hopefully it will be finished tomorrow night. I will post pics when it is all complete.
Mom and Dad and Kevin are in Tennessee for the week. Mom went crazy buying stuff at Carter's. She bought Zoey 7 more outfits!! She literally has 70 outfits at mom's house alone. That doesn't include what is at my house! Plus whatever we get at the baby shower!!
Zoey will never wear the same outfit twice! lol.
Here is a funny tidbit. Well, it wasn't funny at the time but now it is. Yesterday I had a MAJOR B moment. I don't know what happened, but I just snapped! lol. I was cleaning and things were just not going fast enough for my liking and BAM! I went off. I started slinging things and throwing things and screaming. I am pretty sure my blood pressure went up. Karrie was like calm down...... She left, needless to say. Levette said I scared her. But I went to lie down and cry and then I was fine :) But I got the kitchen spotless.
Well, I guess that catches everyone up to date! Talk to you next week!! Lots of love to everyone!

I can finally spill the beans!!!!
I am super thrilled to announce that my bff, and Zoey's godmother, is pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy and excited. She doesn't go to the dr until the 11th :( so we will know more information at that time. I think she is around 6 weeks. I told her last month that I thought she was prego.
So, Zoey is going to have a bff (or boyfriend). I already have so many ideas of things to buy! We just have to wait a little longer to find out if it is a boy or girl. I say GIRL!
Jeanette is going to be a wonderful mommy! Love you Jet!!! And congrats again!!!!!

21 1/2 weeks
Today's doctor appointment went well. Zoey and I are both healthy and doing great. I only gained 1.8 pounds, which the dr said was fine. My belly is growing as it should, and my blood pressure is great. He told me to enjoy the next few weeks because I will start to get uncomfortable.
We went and registered over the weekend. It was fun but so overwhelming!! We picked out a lot of great stuff. And of course, we registered for a ton of books! Zoey is going to need her own bookshelf!! Ours is already packed full.
The shower is coming together. We have the guest list, about 100 people, not including the church!! I have picked out the cake/cupcakes and the invites. Levette's mom found owl napkins and plates. :) I cant wait to see them.
Last night I got a phone call that just completely made my day. (It had been rough, because I had been with Levette at his surgery evaluation for 5 hours). I cant share the info right this moment, but as soon as I get the all clear, I will be posting :) It is fabulous news. Zoey and I are super excited about it!!!!

ITS A........................
GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The party went great. Everyone was super stoked!! We had between 35-40 people there! It was exciting. We opened a box of pink "its a girl" balloons in front of everyone. There were a few shocked people, but not many :)
My family has already begun the buying for Zoey!! And the church is just as excited. Its crazy. Everyone is going through this pregnancy with me. Its great.
Everything is still going good. Zoey is really moving these days. We started cleaning out the nursery last night. I hope to paint very soon. I have to order a piece of the bedding though to get the colors coordinated.
We are looking at April 9th for the shower. And it is going to be a honking big shower! I figured that instead of my family giving one, his family giving one and the church giving one, that it would probably be better to do one combined. That way, people wouldn't have to go to more than one, or pick one, and the cost could be split between everyone.
My mom is going nuts with the baby clothes. She counted the outfits at her house, she has 55!!!!! That is not including what is at my house! Zoey will never wear the same outfit twice! lol. She has like 5 Halloween costumes! That is no lie! (pig,monkey, lion, horse, ladybug, lion, bear, and i think one more!)
But it is great that everyone is so excited. I feel like the wait was well worth it. Zoey is going to be so loved and know it every day. She is already such a blessing. She really is our little miracle. God gave her to us at just the right time. We have all waited for this day for so long and we are all going to enjoy it together.
Well, I guess that is all for this week! I will post some pics soon!! Love to all!!!

19 WEEKS.
So, I hit the 19 week mark on Saturday! I can not believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by!
I got to go to the Monster Jam Saturday night.
The baby was going nuts, but I think she enjoyed it because she settled down after an hour. But when I got home and put the BabyPlus monitor on, she started moving around again and Levette got to feel her.
(I know I am saying she, but that doesn't mean it is a she. I have been calling it a she the whole time and I wont change, if needed, until after the reveal Saturday)
So, it started snowing Sunday afternoon and continued on through Monday. I was so scared that I wasnt going to get to go to my appointment Tuesday. I sent my ultrasound tech a message asking her to let me know if they were going to be open or not. I got up Tuesday morning and I had a message from her saying that she wasn't going to be able to make it in (she is 7 months prego with twins and her husband didn't want her to drive with ice still on the road). I was so upset. She told me to make an appointment for Wednesday morning. So, after trying to call the hospital for an hour and a half, I finally got through and rescheduled for Wednesday at 8am. But I didn't think that Levette would get to go since he had been off Monday and Tuesday. Around 10 I got another message from Shelli saying that she was going to go in around 1 for me to call and reschedule again. Yeah!!! So, I did.
We got to the Imaging Center and found out that Nana was going to get to come after all. That made me very happy. So, Levette and I, Mom, Karrie, Kevin and Nana piled up in the room to find out what our precious baby was. We got to hear the heartbeat again. It was at 156.40bpm. We got to see the face. It has Levette's bone structure, the high cheek bones, and inset eyes. Super cute :) We got quite a few good pics, but their big printer was broken, so she will call me when she has the big ones ready for me.
Needless to say, as soon as we left mom went shopping lol. We went by Levette's parents house to tell them. They were very happy. I think his mom finally believes its real!! lol.
So, just a few more days and everyone will know! I will reveal it at the party, then on facebook and then of course on here!!
Talk to you in a few days!!! God Bless!!!

18 weeks!!! (and 2 days)
So, the New Year has started!!!! 
I got to ring it in with friends and family. It was wonderful. I really think this was the best New Year's ever!! And January1st started with 18 weeks prego!! The pregnancy is still going wonderful. I am so blessed.
Yesterday my cousin Amanda brought me a fetal heart monitor. So, everyone finally got to hear the baby's heart beat. Yeah!!! And she also brought me this babyplus monitor. You wear it for an hour twice a day. It beats out a rhythm. It has 16 "lessons" and you change lessons every 8 days (approximately, starting in week 18). I put it on for the first time today. Wow, the baby went nuts!! She moved around the whole hour! When it cut off, she settled down. I went to the website to see what all was said about it. That is supposedly normal. These "lessons" are supposed to make the baby "smarter" once its born. More receptive, and learn easier.
I cant believe that in 1 week we will find out if it is a boy or a girl!!! AHHHHHH! I am so nervous and excited. I keep having dreams that it is twins though!! We shall see.
I don't really have anything else to update on right now. So, I probably wont be back on until next week. But I wont reveal it until the 15th. So, until then, BYE!!!!!!!!!!
