How far along? 23 weeks today! Only about 17 more to go until I get to hold Greyson!
Weight Gain: Not sure I will find out at my next doctors appointment Monday. I can honestly say that I love my pregnancy body though so I honestly dont care at this point what I have gained as long as I am healthy and so is Greyson. Since the time I was about 12 years old I have had some serious struggles with body image. I really never learned to appreciate my body until becoming pregnant. You go through so much change and its amazing to me what a womans body can adapt to. I have never felt this confident about my body before and I really believe God has used Greyson to help me heal of my insecurities and body image issues. God truly works in mysterious and amazing ways!
Sleep: I feel very lucky in this area. I have not had many problems so far sleeping. I am sure it will get harder the farther along I get but for now I will just enjoy the fact that I'm able to sleep well!
Best moments this week: Well as of last night Chris finally felt the baby kick! This past week his kicks were getting stronger but I wasnt with Chris b/c I was away at cheer camp. Last night he was talking to Greyson and then Greyson kicked him haha. It was so cute and I loved seeing the expression on Chris' face. I can tell Greyson missed his daddy while we were away this week! Also today I actually saw my belly move when he kicked which was so funny and exciting to see!
What I miss: Having a worry and care free attitude. God is really working on me with this. Ever since being pregnant I have been worrying like crazy. Its so difficult to love something so much, but not have any control over what happens. But I know through this process God is teaching me to truly place my trust in Him. I cant control everything and I dont want to! I would much rather God be in control than myself.
What I am looking forward to: I have three baby showers coming up in about a month and I am so excited! The first will be my family shower and it will be so much fun to have mine and Chris' family together to celebrate Greyson. I am also having a shower with my friends and my cheerleaders are having me one. I am going to have one spoiled baby!!
Milestones: I think its so cute that Greyson's sense of hearing has developed. I can tell when he hears stuff going on b/c he starts moving like crazy. After the Justin Bieber concert he was dancing all night haha. And everytime at cheer camp when the camp would start cheering, he would start moving around. It was so cute!!
July was crazy busy for me between my missions trip and cheer camp. So here are so pictures of the past few weeks of mine and Greyson's adventures!
**Me and my seniors at cheer camp! Cant believe this group of girls are Seniors already. They grew up way too fast!!
I have to take this moment and brag about my cheerleaders for a second. I am so proud to be coaching such a great group of girls. They went into camp having to take a few steps back b/c we had no experienced flyers on Varsity. And most of JV was new to the squad and some had never stunted. They all pulled together and worked as a team to be able to learn stunts and perfect their routines. Both squads won safety ribbons (not dropping anyone), both got blue ribbons (the best you can get) on both of their evalutions and both squads got spirit sticks every day. My Varsity won most spirited on the first day, and won most spirited of the entire camp on the final day. One of my Varsity girls was even invited to be on FCC Staff next year which is a huge honor. Both squads bonded and grew spiritually and I am very excited to get this season started. I am so blessed to get to coach these amazing girls!!
