25 week update

We are now 6 months and 1 week! Only 3 more weeks before I enter into my third trimester. Wow! We are over half way there!

Barret kicks all the time! It is so much fun. I'd say the best part about being pregnant so far. I've felt him move for a while now...but no one else has been able to feel him. Travis had been trying but Barret always seems to calm down when you put a hand on my stomach. Then, last Saturday (1.28.09) Lisa felt him kick! Just once.

Last night, (2.3.09) Travis finally felt him kick! 4 times in a row, really hard! It was amazing for both of us!

I'm showing a good bit...but I'm still in that stage where people are afraid to ask if I'm pregnant...just in case I'm not! When people find out, they always say "Wow, I couldn't even tell!" I am actually happy that it isn't that pronounced yet. Hopefully that means that I won't get TOO gigantic! We'll see.

I only have 2 more trips until I can stay home for good! I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to that. Travel is never easy...and doing it while pregnant makes it just that much harder. Luckily, I've been upgraded to first class allot, which helps!


Upcoming events:

2.7.09 - garage sell at Lisa's to help us make room for Barret! We have way to much stuff filling up this house, and we have to clear a whole room for him! Once all of the stuff is gone, we can get working on the room!

2.17.09 - Sonogram! We are so excited to verify that we are having a baby boy. I've already bought a good bit of clothing and I really don't want to return it. Oh, and not to mention Travis would be crushed...as would I! He is already our little boy in my mind. We are waiting to purchase the bedding until after this sonogram...just to make sure! Once we get the go ahead, that room is going to come together...even if it drives Travis crazy!

2.25.09 - baby shower at the office!

3.7.09 - baby shower in Beaumont! I'm so looking forward to going home and seeing all of my family and friends that I haven't seen in a while! I'll be 7 1/2 months along at that point!

3.28.09 - baby shower in Harlingen!
