31 and a half weeks

I went to the doctor today, and she said that everything still looks GREAT! :) I'm feeling pretty good. I'm just tired a lot, have round ligament pain, and still have occasional tummy aches. It's also getting harder to walk, bend over, etc. because my belly is growing so much, but the doctor says I'm measuring exactly where I should be. Jaden is very active, and I love feeling him move around. I still can't get over how cool it is to feel his little hands and feet.

We put together the nursery furniture on Sunday, and it looks really nice. We still don't have the bedding in there yet or anything on the walls. Hopefully, we will do that soon.

I had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day thanks to my AMAZING husband. He gave me an early gift in April of granite counter tops, travertine tile back splash, and a new sink and faucet for our kitchen. It looks so good!!! I wasn't expecting anything except for a card on actual Mother's Day because of my expensive gift. However, Matthew got me a bookstore gift card because he knows how much I LOVE to read. Isn't he the best?

I have only 13 days of work left until summer...

30 weeks and counting...

I can't believe I'm already 30 weeks along! It has gone by so fast, and Jaden will be here before we know it! We painted the nursery on Saturday, and I LOVE how it looks. We painted three of the walls blue and the fourth wall brown. Now we just have to set up the furniture and bedding. I will post pictures once the nursery is finished. :)

There are just three and a half weeks until summer!!

Here is another picture of my belly. This one is at 27 weeks.

More belly pics :)

Jaden is definitely growing!!! :)

Counting down 'til summer...

I have just 5 more weeks of school left until summer. Starting June 6th, I will have lots of time to get completely ready for baby Jaden to arrive. I can't wait!! We finally have all of our nursery furniture and our puppy dog crib bedding, and it will be so much fun setting it all up. We just need to get the room painted first. It's going to look so cute! :)

Baby G has a name!!!

We are finally ready to announce our sweet baby boy's name. His name will be Jaden Asher Gallagher (both biblical names). Jaden (helped Nehemiah rebuild the wall) means "Jehovah has heard" and Asher (one of the twelve tribes of Israel) means "blessed and happy." :)

Matthew especially likes his initials - JAG. :)

22 and a half weeks

I'm starting to think I'm going to be one of the unlucky ones who deals with morning sickness all the way until delivery. I hope not, but just last week I got sick 4 times. I had to refill my Zofran again yesterday. It'll all be worth it, though, as bad as I have felt, when I see my son for the first time. :)

His kicks have gotten even stronger. Sometimes I can see my stomach move when he kicks or punches. Also, Matthew was able to feel it the other day, which was really neat!

We have been looking at bedding for the nursery. I really want to find blue and brown puppy dogs. I have had the hardest time finding something like that, but I think I finally did online. We'll see.

We are so grateful to our family and friends who have already given Baby G gifts. He has some clothes, a few stuffed animals, a bassinet, a swing, and a bumbo chair. I can't wait until he gets to wear, play with, and use these items! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!!!

We found out last Tuesday that we are having a boy!! We are so excited!! Now we get to start thinking about names, the nursery, and registering. How fun! :)
