24 Weeks

We have about 3 and a half months left until the little lady arrives!

I had a doctors appointment right before our trip to New York and everything looks good.  I have another one next week and pretty soon they'll start being more frequent.

Little things are starting to fall into place.

Her diaper bag is here.  I love it!

Her closet is also full.  My brother and sister in law let us borrow tons of little girls clothes.  We're super thankful since all of my clothes in storage are blue :)  It's fun going through tiny little dresses and girly things.

I'm started to get to the uncomfortable stage.  Bending over to do anything, especially Casen, isn't going so smoothly anymore.
Recently i've started getting terrible charley horses a good share of nights.  They come in the middle of the night and some of them leave me hurting for awhile.  I did some research and found they're pretty normal for pregnancy, but news to me since I never had them with Casen.  I got some bananas and read about some stretching to do so hopefully they go away soon enough.
She is soo active.  Her movements have started to become obvious outside the belly.  She has no problem kicking dad's hand away or her brother's head if that's where he has decided to rest.

We can't wait to meet her!

21 Weeks

Arya's first bow :)  Made out of cammies just like her dad wears

Good bye feet....see you in February

Half way

We've officially passed the half way mark.  I'm a little bit over 20 weeks and now that we know what we're having the time has started to really slow down.  It seems like in the beginning you have the milestones to look forward to, first doctor's appointment, the first ultrasound, hearing the first heartbeat, the gender ultrasound, feeling the first kick.  Now that we're passed all that it doesn't seem like there's much to push the time along until February.  I'm thankful for our 2 week vacation coming up and I suppose we have lots of holidays to keep up busy too....yay for finally getting to spend the holidays with Caleb!  We've only had one Christmas together since we've been married.

Arya is now the length of a banana, weighing in at 10 oz.

She is awake...a lot!  She kicks much harder then Casen did, especially this early.

I'm pretty much only sick in the mornings now before breakfast.  With Casen I was still really sick at this point.

I can't think of any particular cravings, except a lot of fruit.  I'm hungry all the time though and have lots of random cravings, just not one certain thing constantly.

I've gained less weight so far with her then Casen, but my belly is bigger.

 Left 20 weeks with Casen, Right 20 weeks with Arya

Our next appointment is about a week away and then its off for 2 weeks of much needed relaxation, especially for my husband :)
