31 weeks

WOW! I am really bad at blogging! I am 31 weeks now...so its been a long time since my last blog at 12 weeks. Since my last blog, I found out we are having a little girl and picked the name Madden. A lot of people look at me weird when I tell them her name, but we love it! Madden is my mom's maiden name, so its extra special. She has been measuring about a week bigger then her due date, so who knows when she will make her appearance. We have had 6 ultrasounds done (i know that sounds like a lot), but we have really enjoyed seeing her! She is one active baby, so a lot of the pictures aren't so clear. So far all tests and ultrasounds have come back normal so we feel very lucky! We just can't wait to meet our sweet little Maddie. We have been working hard on her nursery, just a few final touches and we will be ready for her. On Sunday, My mom, sister, mother in law, and two best friends are throwing me a baby shower. I am so lucky to have such special people in my life! I can't wait to see everyone and celebrate! I think that is it for now. I will try and blog more often to give updates on Madden!

Food and cravings? I wouldn't exactly say I have many cravings, but I do eat a lot of cereal. Trev thinks it is so weird, but I love it! -
Movement? She moves all the time! I can't really tell where her feet and hands are but she is certainly one active baby! -
What I miss? I miss wearing regular clothes and not feeling fluffy all the time.

Baby Mevis

12 week ultrasound

Sooo....I have kinda been slacking off on this whole blog thing, but for those of yall that don't know Trev and I are expecting our first little one in August! We could not be more excited! We found out mid December, but we kept it a secret until I went to my 8 week check up at the doctor (just to make sure everything was ok). And everything was great, so we told our parents and then all of our friends. Our families were so excited! This will be the first grandchild on both sides, so this going to be one spoiled baby.

My next doctors visit is on March 7th for a 16 week check and then March 29th to find out if Baby Mevis is a boy or girl. I cannot wait for that visit, even though I am pretty sure its a boy (just a feeling). So far this pregnancy has been great! I haven't felt sick or had any crazy symptoms. Which is quite a relief because I have heard horror stories about morning sickness and early pregnancy.

Well that's it for now. I will try to update more often to keep everyone updated on Baby Mevis.
