The Life of a Pregnant Lady

So what has pregnancy been like for you Rachel??  Well....whenever I feel the little guy kick me it's absolutely amazing and such a miracle from God.  Other than that....I want my old body back.  :)   Don't get me wrong, carrying this little miracle inside me is such a wonderful experience...but now that I'm in my 6th month it's getting a LITTLE difficult to move around these days.  I can't do all the old things I used to (like roll over in bed with ease), but I know it's all worth it and will be over before I know it.  :)

So here are some major milestones that I wanted to post for little Kipton and myself (basically so I won't forget them...you know, pregnancy brain and all)

4 Weeks (January 31st):  Matt and I found out our lives were going to be blessed by you.  :)

6 Weeks (February 15th): Our little pregnancy test was confirmed by an actual doctor....our thoughts after the doctor confirmed are you positive??  Although we were extremely excited...we still questioned whether or not this whole thing was about to happen.  :)

7 Weeks: Told your grandparents and uncles we were expecting you.  What an experience that was.

13 Weeks....you can tell it's the 1st Trimester and I'm obviously tired.  

17 Weeks (May 1st):  I felt you move for the first time at church.  Guess you must have liked the lesson.

19 Weeks:  Daddy felt you move for the first time and we could also see you moving in my tummy.

20 Weeks: Found out you were a boy!  Our little Kipton.   :)

This shirt might not fit next time.   :)

21 Weeks: You went swimming for the first time (in my tummy of course) 

23 Weeks: I played with you for the first time;  You would give me a high five every time I put my hand on my stomach.

24 Weeks: Your heartbeat was around 140 at the doctors office and you are extremely active....go figure with the two parents you have. 

25 Weeks:  You took your first trip to the beach  (once again...in my tum-tum)

Had to take the awkward "hold your belly" pose.

26 Weeks: You took your first ride in the Reynolds ski boat at Lake Guntersville...quite bumpy, but lots of fun!  I also am getting MAJOR leg cramps carrying you around, but your worth it.

27 Weeks: Your getting so strong because you kicked me so hard this week it took by breath away!

28 Weeks:  Your getting so big that at the doctor's office this week I had to lean over on the scale to look over my stomach and see how much we weigh.  :)

We love you very much little Kipton and can't wait for you to get here!
