32 Weeks

WOW. 32 weeks. 8 months PREGNANT!!! So many feelings going through my head as the weeks get closer to us welcoming our very own first baby!! We find ourselves talking more and more about her. What she will be like, who she will look like, what kind of parents we should be, our fears, and of course what we are looking forward to! 


Our nursery is still....well no where near being finished. If you know me this is not like me. Especially since this is our first baby! Yes, I know she will not be sleeping in her room at first but I want to have everything perfect when "D" day comes! (Which I hope is no time soon! I want a healthy full term baby!!) My Dad is not finished with our changing table or dresser so we are on hold right now! But thats ok, I wouldn't trade him making it for anything in the world! (Even my nursery not being done when she gets here ha) But lets hope this doesn't happen! 


Here is 32 week picture! 

We also had another WONDERFUL baby shower with our family in Lincoln County! They gave us a ton of sweet gifts for Mia! I will post pictures from the shower soon! (Actually I think I need to post pictures from both showers ha) I try to stay up on the blog...but from what people are telling me I am falling behind ha! 


Please continue to pray for our growing family!!!

28 Weeks(THIRD Trimester!!)

I am a little late posting this...but o well! 
28 Weeks is not much different so far. I am still feeling great. Of course I have the normal back pain, random bathroom trips, and having a harder time sleeping. But that is all normal things....so I consider myself blessed! We go to the doctor Thursday for an ultra sound and sugar test! I will post about that!


We also had our first baby shower!!! Which was so much fun! And looked like it was out of a magazine! I will post pics asap!


Can you tell a difference??? My belly has really just popped out these past few weeks. So I am showing you my pic just 8 weeks ago. 

My O My.....how things change in 8 weeks!! ha! (and yes I know I am having a bad hair day in this pic please excuse!)

24 Weeks

Here is my 24 week picture... 

This week Nic finally got to feel little Mia kick or punch or something! She is so active when I sit down! I say she gets that from her Momma....Since I can never sit still ha! We have also started to see my belly move when she moves! Such an amazing miracle! So we have had a very exciting 24 week mark!! 

And Mia got to tag along to her first UT game! Even though we lost against GA it was still fun! Thanks to my friend Holly for taking us!! 

I have a DR. apt Thursday! 

22 Weeks

Wow its already been another 2 weeks! Everything seems to be going great still!!!


Not sure if you can notice or not but I fail yesterday off my friends stairs at her house straight down onto my face. IF my chin scars Im going to tell Mia I was trying to save her ha!!  Mia is one strong little girl though...even if her momma cant walk ha!

I think my belly has moved up since 20 weeks!!! (I realize I look horrible in this pic but o well its for memories)

20 weeks! HALF WAY!!!

I am so excited to be doing my 20 week post!! Such a great feeling to know we are half way to meeting our sweet little girl! 


I am definitely starting to show! I love having a growing belly. I know its showing I had one little boy in my class say "Mrs. Barnes why does your belly keep getting bigger??!!" and I had a little girl in the hall way say "Mrs. Barnes do you have a baby in your stomach?" haha! Got to love kids they say the cutest things!


I am feeling her move a lot now! I love it and try to make her move when she doesn't but of course it doesn't work! Pregnancy has been amazing gift to me!! 


Here is the 20 week pictures:

We took the first picture in the morning then got my new stickers and had to take another picture with the sticker ha! Looks like my belly had grown just during the day. I have heard people say this so Im guessing its true!! 

18.5 Weeks

I can not believe that I am 18 almost 19 weeks! It has seemed to fly by so far! I am still feeling great! This pregnancy thing seems to be pretty great compared to what a lot of women go through! I am still walking or doing my pregnancy dvd! I am loving being pregnant! 
O and of course the highlight of my week is starting to feel flutters! It is so amazing that I can feel her moving! Cant wait for a big kick so Nic can start feeling her!

It's A.....

We had our gender revealing party last Friday night! I know I am way behind on posting! We were so happy to have most of our family to share in the joy! Here are a few pictures from the party! The only thing I didn't get was a pic of the people wearing blue or pink!

                                                                 GIRL or BOY!!!!

Our Cake! I loved it!

We decided to let our moms cut the cake since we already knew what was on the inside!

                                      ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!
We are so excited! We didn't care either way what it was. After having a miscarriage we realized that every baby is a gift from God boy or girl! We are just glad she looked healthy!
