Finally A New Picture

So here's a new picture. The latest is that Sam is getting home on the 20th. He should be calling me soon to let me know whatever other details he has. I am soooo ready! We have lots on the schedule already for when he gets home. The March for Babies is the 25th, we are seeing Jason Mraz and the Plain White T's in concert on the 28th, the 29th is my birthday, we are getting a 4D ultrasound on the 30th and a doctors appointment on May 1st. Crazy! And I think we might try to make it down to the beach sometime during all that. We'll be busy busy bees! The "honey-do" list is growing everyday.

Phew!

Well, I know I said I would post another picture on Friday, but time just keeps slipping away. I am about a week away from getting Sam back and ten days from being done with work. I am looking forward to getting my time back and a helper around the house. I am hopeful that I will be able to post some pictures of the baby's room in the next few weeks after it's done. I am also hoping to get an appointment for a 4D ultrasound so we can really see little "Nugs" face. Maybe that will help us finally decide on a name. Although, I'm leaning heavily towards "Austin" and no, it's not naming my kid after the town. Anyone who really knows me, knows that I hate Austin. It's a nice place to visit, but I'll never leave there again. We'll see.

Like a crazy person I signed up for a summer class to continue to get my master's degree. I'm hopeful that this will keep me marketable so that when I decided to go back to the workforce, I won't be behind the curve. Part of me still wants to start over a go to school to be a vet, but that's just a dream.

Ok, tonight or tomorrow night, I will get a picture up. I promise!

Long Time

Ok, so I now it's been a really long time since I updated this. But with Sam being gone and I've been out of town, my weekends have been consumed with baby showers and getting ready to head out of town again. I haven't made the time to keep up. There's really nothing new to report. We are on the home stretch of both this pregnancy and Sam's deployment. Oh yeah, and my job. I put in a three-weeks notice last Friday so as of April 24th I will be officially unemployed! I am counting down the days. Nineteen more to go. Here is a picture of me from about three weeks ago. I'm going in for my next appointment on Friday, so I'll try to post another picture then.

It's a Boy...Again =)

Well, Mom came last weekend and we saw Baby Boy Dunlap again! And yes, we are pretty sure now that it is indeed a boy. We also did some shopping which was nice to FINALLY get to do with some certainty. I am also beginning to bust on out of my clothes. The ultrasound technician told us that the baby's weight is estimated at about 1 pound and 1 ounces. So far I'm up about 7 pounds or 6 if you don't count the baby =) It's a drastic change from the 5 or 6 I was done when I couldn't keep any food in my body. All that is a distant memory and totally worth it everytime I get to see little nugget and how he's grown. To prove to you all that I'm growing, here's a picture of me taken about 5 minutes ago.

The most amazing thing!

So I've been able to feel kicks (flutter more accurately describe them) since about 16 weeks, but I was laying on the sofa today with my hand on my stomach and felt the first real kick from the outside. Little Nugget has been particularly active today. I wish Sam could have been here. He did it about 10 times before I had to get up and move on with the rest of the day. It was precious. All that sickness was worth that one moment today.
