19 Weeks!

Well gang I am ALMOST half way there! YAY! Things are moving along great! I am super excited to find out if it's a HE or a SHE! Less than a week!

Here is a pick at 19 weeks exact...or as exact as I can be! haha!

MOVEMENT!!

So I am pretty sure I have felt the baby move. A few nights ago I felt a flutter when I was laying in bed...but thought it might have just been gas. Then the next morning at church I felt a similar flutter in pretty much the same spot. The day after that I felt it again, this time a little higher on my tummy. It's the greatest! Even if it is gas...I am calling it the baby!

Twins...no NOT the baby

I thought this was a funny pic of dad and I! I am in Emory for a few days while I am on Spring break. We strolled out for a movie one evening and were twins! haha.

15-16-17 weeks

Hello All! Well I am finally updating my blog. And I am making a vow to update this blog on Thursday evenings. Kyle usually works then and I can go to the club house to bum some Internet. Please feel free to send me hate mail when I fall behind....thanks Amy.

On other news, things are blossoming in the Beard family. Kyle is getting ready to graduate! WHOO HOO! Which means family is coming soon and we can't wait. Also on April 2nd we find out if the baby is a boy or a girl! We can't wait. I have started having so many dreams about the baby...in those it's usually a girl, but we will see!

At my last Dr.'s appointment we heard the heartbeat. It was a strong 160 bpm. Some people say that means a girl....old wives's tale. Everything was looking good and I had gained 4 Ibs, which really only made up for the 4 I had lost three weeks before. I am sure I have gained more than that now. My belly is really starting to grow and people around me are seeing it which is really fun. I even had a student ask if she could feel the baby the other day! It was GREAT! I love when people want to rub my belly!

And here it is at 17 weeks

See what I mean it's grown. I am at the awkward in-between stage in clothes. Some things I have to have maternity and some things I can rig with a rubber band and still wear. What ever works right?

Well I hope everyone is well! I love you all very much! See you next week ON THURSDAY!! :)

Kyle likes to take pictures of himself....and here is a nice one that was on the camera when I downloaded the belly picks....hehehe! Enjoy!

11 and 12 weeks

Well I use to think my sisters were the worse people at keeping up with a blog, but as it turns out...I AM!!!

Kyle and I have had an interesting past few weeks. Oklahoma got a big ice/snow storm which kept me home from school four days plus the weekend. This would have been a nice little vacation had I not been sick the ENTIRE time. haha. I am pretty sure I got Bronchitis again, and my doctor was great and called in an antibiotic. So life is happier now.

Kyle and I have a doctors appointment next Friday, the 12th, to hear the babies heart beat. We are both so excited! We have seen the heart beating, but it will be so wonderful to hear that perfect sound.

I am getting anxious to have a belly. I feel a little bigger, but no one but me would see much of a difference yet. All the cute maternity clothes my sisters have given me are just sitting in the closet calling my name! We'll see if I feel this way in a few months.

Alright well that's all I've got for right now.

Here is a picture of me at 11 weeks:

This is when I realized my wedding dress isn't going to fit much longer. (I was watching the Friends episode where Monica, Rachel, and the pregnant Pheobe play in wedding dresses so I had to do it too!!)

This is me at 12 weeks

And this is the first picture of our baby! I have been told s/he looks a lot like Grandaddy...huh?

The First Post

Hello everyone! Well with a new baby comes a new blog!! I don't really have a lot of updates right now. We went to the Doctor on Friday and got our first picture of the baby! There is definitely only ONE baby!!! The heart was beating a healthy 167 bpm. Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement as God creates a new member of our new family!

Here is a pick of the belly at nine weeks and two days!
