21 Weeks... Merry Christmas!

Our Christmas was pretty amazing. We spent Christmas Eve in Eufala at my grandmas with my family & then we spent Christmas day with his. The whole Christmas season has been so much fun together. We did tons of Christmas stuff like baking, shopping, Christmas music every day, Christmas movies, and went to see the lights... I think I REALLY got Austin into the Christmas spirit like I am every year.

December 23rd my sister came to town for the night and we took them to dinner and went to see the Rhema Christmas ligths. It was a lot of fun and so good to see her. December 24th after they left we headed off to my Memaws and spent the day/night down there. The weather predicted snow, but none came that night. We woke up EARLY Christmas morning because we were soo excited to give eachother our presents. I got Austin a globe that opens up that he can keep drinks in- it's pretty awesome and he loves it. I also got him yummy cologne and lots of Green Bay stuff & some other little goodies. He got me a Wii! I told him that I wanted one because he's always (not ALWAYS, but occasionally) playing x box and I wanted a game and especially one I could work out with because with a baby I won't be able to go to the gym. He convinced me he wasn't getting me one, but he did! Yayy. We also go spoiled by our parents and got lots of goodies. Baby boy Jeffries got a lot of cute stuff too! I am now even more excited to decorate his room. Daddy better get painting! :) Christmas day was fantastic we relaxed and ate prime rib with his family. The only sad part of the day was NO SNOW! The weather men said it would snow for sure, but it didn't. :( Oh well... maybe next year?

Baby boy is still growing stong. I know he loves Christmas because he was so active on Christmas day. I love feeling him move. My belly is growing little by little & my belly button is starting to come out... :( I can't imagine what it will look like at the end of my pregnancy. I'm not too sick, but occasionally I am. Christmas morning I was quite sick... threw up a few times, but oh well. I am so in love with my little guy I just can't get over it. 4 months and he will be in my arms!

This week we got a new doctor and couldn't be more excited! The clinic I was going to was so aweful & the RESIDENTS did not know a thing. It was very uncomfortable thinking my baby wouldn't have good care. So I tried and tried and called around and FINALLY 1/2 way through this pregnancy I got a new GOOD doctor. She's fantastic and we are so excited. She did and ultrasound right there and it was so fun to see baby boy & luckily he is still a boy! ;) We love that little cutie so much. I'm so happy that we only have 20 weeks left before we meet little man. We have a lot to do, but I know we'll get it done and be so ready for him when the time comes. I just can't wait to see what he looks like and hold my precious baby in my arms. He is already my world and I am so blessed to be his mommy!

19 Weeks

I love baby boys Nike booties! I could not resist :)

We got his crib & it is so gorgeous. We don't have his bedding yet, but I absolutely love walking by it every day. It makes me so excited for whats to come! I can't wait to order his bedding and start painting his room. After Christmas we are going to go nursery crazy! :)

It's a...... BOY!!!

We went in for our ultrasound on November 27, 2012 praying our baby was healthy and hoping they would let us see what they were! Well we got lucky on both ends. Our baby is healthy and growing perfect & we found out it's a BOY! Austin was thrilled! During the ultra sound he was making me giggle so much with how happy he was. We couldn't be any happier we are having a baby boy & especially that he is healthy. He is such a cutie, but he wouldn't let us see his sweet face this time. I love him sooo much!

We immediately went and bought him clothes & each grandma got an outfit too! :)

Clearly a BOY ;)

Hims first SHOES! To die for.

18 W 4 D One week after the ultra sound baby boy is growing & mommy is getting bigger!

EVERYONE thought it was a girl (except Austin who held onto hopes of a boy) We planned to tell my mom very first, but we couldn't resist telling both grandpas. I called my dad because there isn't a very fun way to tell someone who is out of state. Then we went and got each grandma and outfit and put it in a bag. I made my mom a card that said.... "You're the first to know... shhh don't tell a soul... is it a bouncing little HE or a pretty little SHE!?" Then when she opened it up it said "Its a BOY...or a GIRL!... go outside!" So he present was outside with a little paper that said "It's a boy!" She was SHOCKED! She was the one who was absolutely sure it was a girl. She was jumping all over and so happy. Austin made a little sign for his mom that said "We all know the game of life, sometimes it gives you pink ones and sometimes it gives you blue ones" Then she opened up a little box and there was a life car with a pink and blue for mommy and daddy and in the "back seat" was a BLUE! She started to cry. It was such an amazing day & we are so proud to welcome our son into our loving family.
