Excitement!

Today I went to a doctors appt! The doctors office I go to I get an ultrasound every time so it is so exciting to go becuase I get to see my little dude! He now weighs 1 pound 14 ounces so almost 2 pounds! I can't even believe how big he is getting it is crazy. I also gained a lot of weight last month! A total of 6 pounds in one freaking month, but its okay because my baby is growing and I will grow too. I have gained a total of 13 pounds so far and I am 26 weeks a long so about normal I guess my doctor says. We got some 3D pictures of our little Weston today. It is a picture of a picture so it doesn't look too great..but if you look closely you can see his little face and his arm. Its so cool to know that in just 3 months I will be holding this little man!! I took this picture of me today at 26 weeks! My face looks so huge, a part of me keeps telling myself that I am carrying some of my baby is my face haha!

Pregnancy 411


24 Weeks Pregnant

Baby weighs about 1 pound and 4 ounces.


Weight Gain?: So far I have gained 7 pounds.
Stretch Marks?: I don't have any yet but I know those don't start coming till later so we will see...
Name?: We always loved the name Weston from the start and when we found out it was a boy everyone calls him Weston so thats the name. Weston Keith Welling. Keith is after my grandpa Strong who passed away when my father was only six months so I was never able to meet him and now his name will live on!:)
Maternity Clothes?: Yes, I still can fit into some of my jeans and even button them but maternity clothes are just much more comfortable and my sweet mother in law was so nice to take my shopping and buy my all these maternity clothes.
Sleep?: I can still sleep at night the only thing is I sleep on my back and always find myself waking up in the night switching to my side.
Food cravings?: Mexican food, I love bean and cheese burritos! I also love chocolate milk which I never really cared for before I was pregnant.
Best moment of the week? Having Robby feel Weston! Finally he was able to feel him, it was cool.
What I miss?: Being able to run and fit into my clothes. Before I got pregnant I gained about 15 pounds being married so I first off started this pregnancy off the highest I have ever weighed in my life and I was looking at old pictures when I was a 125 pounds and I will never complain again about being fat because I was so skinny!! 11 out the 15 pounds I gained was just from last fall semester. I took 6 classes last fall and I was constantly sitting at work and then sitting at school and never worked out once not once in the fall semester so I look forward to getting back into shape after this baby.


Pregnancy is a lot different than I expected. I have been pretty sick and now I have a lot of back pain. But the the pros do weight the cons for sure. I love feeling him and I love going to the doctors and seeing him in the ulrasounds. Me and Robby just can't wait to meet him..
