The GROWING Belly

Its a boy!!!! we are so excited! at first, I kind of thought it was a girl. For some reason I just always imagined having a baby girl. Landon's dear sweet grandma passed away a month ago and when she was in the hospital she wouldn't stop talking about our baby and how much she wanted to meat him/her. Then when she was getting ready to let go, his grandpa said that when she is up in heaven, she will pick out a boy just like Landon. (Landon was THE favorite grandchild and his grandma and grandpa loved being around him). So ever since she died, I was kind of wondering maybe she will pick out a boy for us! and She did! We went to Fetal Photo to find out because my Dr wasn't going to tell us what we were having until the big ultra sound at 20 weeks. I could not wait that long! This thing is way too exciting!!! When the ultra sound tech was trying to get a good shot to show us, I saw the "boy parts" first and shouted "It's a Boy!" and she was pretty shocked that i could tell before she did. Landon could not wipe that smile off his face. He had knew it was a boy all along and he is so excited to have a little buddy to play baseball with, hunt, and go golfing! we went to the mall right after and went straight to Baby Gap. We got some cute stuff! it is sooo much fun shopping for this little guy. At checkout, I glanced over at all the ruffles, dresses and girly stuff. I got a little sad for a minute, but then got over it. We are so excited to have this little guy!

I wanted to take pictures of the growing belly and I wanted a cute way to do it. Cute little Mary pinned this idea on Pinterest (littlebabygarvin.blogspot.com) so I thought I would do this too! Mine is no way near as cute as the baby garvin one, I have no idea how she gets her chalk to look so good. Give me paints and colored pencils and i would have a masterpiece every week. I'm just not so good with bulky chalk. I went to the DI and couldn't find a big enough picture frame so i just had to work with the smaller one i found. well, I hated the smaller one so I made My sweet husband make me a huge chalk board from scratch! I love it and now i have more room to write.

My pictures always upload backward, so thees are backward. don't mind my ugly makeup less face in some of them.

(serious bloating in week 15)

oops, i just erased week 14 picture. crap. if i try to upload it, who knows where it will end up.

This is me at 5 weeks. I didn't start to get a belly until around 14 weeks, but sometimes i look bigger due to all the constipation and bloating! ha! TMI??

We have the big ultrasound on Oct 28, and i can't wait to see him again! I have not felt him move yet and I am dying to! it is so weird to me that I have a 5 1/2 inch (crown to rump) squirmy baby in my belly and i haven't felt him move yet. its just weird.
