So today marks the first day of the 3rd and final trimester for us! I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by! We are officially 28 weeks today. And there is still SOOO much to be done. I just don't let myself think about it because the stress would be too much right now! But here's a list of everything I can think of...I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere!
1) Clean out the garage and move guest bedroom furniture from baby's room to garage
2) Paint Harrison's room (so I guess I should pick a color and buy paint!)
3) Finish my registries (stupid Target losing my online one)
4) Paint kitchen and downstairs bathroom (once Harrison gets here I doubt there'll be time for that!)
5) Set up nursery
6) Pray someone gets us the important stuff (travel system, breast pump, and glider are at the top of that list!)
7) Don't go crazy...!
Only 12 weeks to go!

Pregnancy Update (3/19-5/25)
So I really want to catch this blog up on my pregnancy so I can start with new posts that match the date! Here's what has happened that is worth mentioning since our ultrasound where we found out we're expecting a little boy!
March 20, 2010: Had the gender party (still awaiting pics to post!) at Karyn's house. It was super fun and the cake was beautiful and VERY yummy! Jason cried (of course) and so did I :) We announced we'd be naming him after my dad, which is why he'll be Harrison Troy (Harrison was my maiden name and Jason and I both just really like the name Troy). Jason loves to come up with cute (and by cute I mean obnoxious!) little nicknames for our little man. Examples: Little Hans Solo...Chewy...and my fave...Little Indy (I'm actually approving the last one!). So he's been having fun with that!
April 1-April 4, 2010: Went on a little babymoon vacation to the mountains. The weather was perfect! We ate at a really fancy mexican restaurant one of the nights and just enjoyed being with each other and not having any other distractions. It was great and very relaxing. We were sad to leave.
April 6, 2010: Happy Birthday to Me!! I got lots of maternity clothes for presents, and Jason bought me some books to read to our little boy. Very sweet! :)
April 7, 2010: First day feeling LOTS of movement. I felt the occasional flutters, but this day changed everything! All day he was having a dance party in my belly! When I settled down for the night he got a little extra crazy! I was laying in bed watching TV and had my arms crossed over my belly. Guess Harrison didn't like the pressure and started kicking my arms! It was exciting to feel him move!
April 21, 2010: This day was a scary day. I hadn't felt Harrison move since early morning on April 20. Called Tanya to see what we should do and she told us to go ahead and come in to get checked and listen to the heartbeat. Well, the minute we check in and are waiting in the waiting room I think I feel the little peanut moving! Of course, it would work that way! We listen to the heartbeat and Tanya is even able to hear a few of his kicks on the doppler. I couldn't feel them but that was ok. Harrison must have flipped over and down and was therefore facing my back and the placenta was getting the full force of his kicks. Tanya recommended I eat something sweet, drink some caffeine and try to push my belly to make him move. It worked and he was back to his normal self that night.
April 22-May 13, 2010: Pregnancy is starting to take its toll! Every week for this time frame was something new to complain about! Holding my bladder is getting harder (so please don't make me laugh too hard!) Heartburn got worse, weight gain got scarier, back pains, leg cramps, baby kicking me in inappropriate places! Gah! Oh well...it'll be worth it in the end!
May 14, 2010: Last appointment before heading into the 3rd trimester!!! Did not know this day would be extra eventful! Went for our appointment and heard our little man's heartbeat again. I just cannot get tired of hearing it!! Had a nice long list of stuff for Tanya to discuss, then talked a little bit about a birth plan. Fun stuff.
After our appointment I had a strong desire to eat some Japanese take-out from the mall. Jason and I were on our way there when we were rear-ended on a busy street. And not just a gentle nudge of a guy almost hitting his brakes in time. I mean, this dude barely tapped the brakes! Our poor car is a mess in the back and the truck won't open or fully close. Worse, my belly started hurting almost immediately. I think most of it was due to stress and a little bit from the accident. We called Tanya and she told us to go to Women's immediately and get monitored for 4-6 hours! So there went our Friday night! We ended up being at the hospital until about 11:30 that night. It was comforting to hear Harrison's heartbeat for those 4+ hours though! And he did not like those monitors being attached to my belly! It was the most we had seen him kick! You could literally see the monitors being pushed off my belly!
The next day Jason and I were both pretty sore. From then until now we have just been dealing with insurance and trying to get all of that taken care of. I'll be glad when it's all settled and we don't have to worry about it anymore!

UltraSound Pictures!
We had our ultrasound on March 19th. It was absolutely amazing to see our little baby and to make sure everything was healthy and looking good. We didn't find out at the ultrasound (though a nurse did ruin it for me) but at our baby reveal party the next day. Lots of friends came, as well as our parents. Karyn did a great job hosting and everything was beautiful! Hopefully I'll have pictures from the party to post soon! But we did find out whether we'd be buying lots of blue or lots of pink soon....!!!
This is my favorite picture! ^^^
Tiny little feet...can't wait to tickle and kiss them!!! ^^^
Another fave of mine...looks like s/he's sticking it's tongue out at us!!! Love it! ^^^
And it's a.................

Old Blog Post
This is a post (the one and only!) from a blog I started in March and never went back to. Enjoy!
So I know we've been pregnant for a while now, but I just decided to start blogging about it. It'll be nice to have for the baby when s/he is older. We found out we were pregnant on December 15th, 2009. It was quite the shock, since we had only been married for 5 months! But, everyone knew it was gonna happen since I'm not that great at popping my BC pills! We're extremely excited though and cannot wait to meet our little one! We are currently 17 weeks and 4 days, though that may change with our upcoming ultrasound scheduled for March 19th. We will also be able to find out the gender of this little peanut growing inside of me! I cannot wait!! Our friend Karyn is hosting a "baby reveal" party for us. She'll be the only one who knows what we're having and will have a blue or pink cake to let all of us know. (Thanks Cassi for letting us steal your idea!) It's going to be fun! Well, I just want to get up to date with where I'm at with the pregnancy, so I'm going to give a quick rundown of the past few months.
So we found out December 15th. Pretty much immediately the symptoms set in. I was so tired I could barely stand, much less keep my eyes open the whole day. Thank goodness we had Christmas break so I was able to sleep pretty much for 2 weeks straight! Our friend Leigh, Mike and Kristan were among the first to know. We kept it a secret from our family until Christmas. We told our parents by buying them presents that shared our secret. For mom a little willow tree figurine that was the grandmother one. For dad a really nice tumbler that said #1 Grandpa! And for J's dad a few bibs to keep at his place for future babysitting adventures! (He's practically impossible to shop for!) It was a lot of fun to tell them. The first trimester went by pretty smoothly. Everything has been very normal. Lots of nausea, a few episodes of getting extremely sick, and the exhaustion that wouldn't quit. Our first appointment with our midwife went great! It was so amazing to hear our little one's very fast and very strong heartbeat. Almost unreal! I can't wait to feel him/her kicking and moving so I know everything is ok. It's crazy how the worrying starts pretty much right away! I felt our little one move for the first time on February 19th. It was weird. It felt like marble being rolled on the inside of my belly. Since then I've been having random flutters, especially when I'm relaxing on the couch or in bed at night.
Well, I will try to post as regularly as possible. Definitely to share the news of next week! Praying for everything to still be normal come March 19th!

Trying this one more time!
So I have been wanting to blog ever since we found out we were pregnant. I really want something for our little baby to read and know what life was like before s/he came along and how excited we are s/he's on his/her way to change our lives! But, as most of my friends know, I'm not so good with the blogging and keeping up with stuff. But I figured I'd give it one more try and see if I can stick with it for the rest of this pregnancy and possibly/hopefully beyond that! And since I'm in my last trimester I have a lot of catching up to do!
