18 Weeks

.18 Weeks.

Bralyn is at 5 1/2 to 6 inches long and about 5-7 ounces in weight. (a little bit more then that chicken breast you  might have had for dinner, but a lot cuter.) Bralyn is filling out nicely and getting large enough that those twists, rolls and kicks are feeling more like punches that she is perfecting. Another set of skills she is mastering is yawning and hiccupping. She even now has her own unique fingerprints on her fingertips and toes!! :)

~She is getting bigger for sure, I can feel her twisting and turning and moving all around!.. :) Can't wait until Patrick can!

Her heartbeat was 160 that morning and 136 during our ultrasound. She was so cute and we LOVE her already!!.. :)

17 Weeks

.17 Weeks.

Take a look at your hand. Baby is about the palm-size now, with a crown-to-rump length of about 6 inches and an approximate weight of 5 (or more) ounces. Around the size of a Large Onion. Body fat is beginning to form, but baby is still quite skinny, with skin that is practically translucent. This week, baby is all about practice, practice, practice in preparation for birth. Lastly, are important skills baby is sharpening up now: sucking and swallowing!. Baby's heart rate is regulated by the brain (no more spontaneous beats) and clocks in at 140-150 beats per minutes.

Baby is getting so big! We are now in the final week of Month 4.  Hard to believe next Tuesday we will be entering Month 5 of pregnancy!

We also go Friday at noon to find out the Gender of this little one!! CANNOT WAIT!!

Beach Weekend GETAWAY!

We have some wonderful friends here in NC . One of the fellow coaches Brian Rimpf and his wife Lauren have a BEAUTIFUL Beach home on the coast of NC, and offered us to come with them for the weekend!
After Friday night's game we knew we needed the rest and to GETAWAY!.. Patrick hadn't had a break since June, and he needed one very badly! We left on Saturday morning, and got home late on Sunday night! The beach trip was about 1 1/2 hours away, and so RELAXING!.. We spent Saturday evening on the beach and Sunday morning! It was so nice to just do nothing and sleep in listening to the sound of the ocean waves!!
Lauren and Brian have a beautiful home, and we are so thankful that they asked us to come!!
I also enjoyed watching Patrick interact with their 2 little boys and ride the boggie boards! I love him so much! :)

Lauren is 23 weeks along and I am now 17 weeks along. We wrote in the sand It's a Boy and It's a Girl and decided to take pictures to post after finding out! But for now, wondering what we are having??

FOOTBALL UPDATE Week 8

Week 8 was yet another sad week, Trojans played at home for Homecoming against Knightdale and lost 27-24. It was a heartbreak for sure! Always hard to watch your husband's team loose and you can't do anything about it but be supportive!
Trojans are now 6-2, and still have 3 games left in the regular season. We must win 2 of the 3 to make it to playoffs!
Coach Turner is working hard to make this happen. following some big changes as well! ;) I am very proud of him and all the coaches that are stepping up to help these boys! You can't play for the boys, but they are doing great trying! lol.

This week is our bye week, so we will go and play SSS away on the 22nd!

16 Weeks

.16 Weeks.

With a whopping weight of anywhere from 3 to 5 ounces and a length (crown to rump) of 5 to 6 inches,  about the size of a large Avocado, baby is growing up fast. Muscles are getting stronger (I might even start to feel movements). ( And I felt them 2 days ago! Right on track!!). Especially the back muscles are getting stronger, enabling the little one to straighten out even more. Baby is looking more and more adorable, with a face that has eyes (complete with eyebrows and eyelashes) and ears in the right spots. What's more those eyes are finally working!! Yes, it's true: Baby's eyes are making small side-to-side movements and can even perceive some light. The eyelids however are still sealed. Baby is also becoming more sensitive to touch. In fact, he or she will even squirm if I poke my belly!

We are just over 4 1/2 months! So excited!!

Appointment for 16 weeks, Oct. 15th 9:30am, and then Gender U/S 12:00pm that day!

Feeling Baby for the 1st Time!!

So excited!! I had been wondering when I would feel the baby move and flutter around! :) And it happened Saturday and Sunday!
I wasn't sure if that is what I was feeling, but after many twitches later and going to look online, calling my mom and talking to friends who have had babies! Yep that is what I am feeling!
It was so neat, to feel little turns and moving! I can't wait to actually feel the baby kick! I keep hearing that it is sometime between 17-20 weeks, so we will see, Tomorrow I am 16 weeks!!

11 more days until we find out what baby is!! :)

Friday Football Update Week 7

Trojan Football Friday update: 
Week 7 was away vs. Clayton High School. After Still having Jerrod Spears out for another 2 weeks, and rain and crazy week of practice, Harnett Central lost their first game of the season Friday night!.  They lost 29-23. It was a hard loss for the boys and Seniors, but we know it can only help them to stay focused and prepare for the 4 weeks left. If they want it  Patrick stated after the game, then they will come and work hard and remember this feeling for the weeks to come!
We will see.. 
Now getting ready for this week. We play at home for HOMECOMING! vs. Knightdale!

GO TROJANS!!
