Baby Doc

Well today was our 16-18 week appointment. I am 16 weeks and 5 days. Everything is looking good. I've gained 8lbs total, since finding out I was pregnant. Baby's heart rate was in the 150s. By the way, I could listen to that sound for hours! Next stop, is the ultrasound, not for about 4 weeks. Definatly before I go stateside, and I pray that baby cooperates and can show us what it is! I'm ready to call it by name, rather than baby. Which I do call it a he more than anything, so we'll see. Here are our names we have chosen. We are 100% on the boy:


Zaiden Michael (pronounced: ZAY-DEN)


Michael is after my dad and Nicks brother. {dads first name, brothers middle} The girl, there are two. One is Nick's choice the other is mine. He is stuck on the K name but said he can sacrifice it to be a middle name, so we'll discuss it further when we find out the sex, lol. My fear, honestly, I don't want her to be made fun of or anything.


Brynlee Krickett OR Krickett Emmalin


I absolutely love Zaiden and think of it as a boy right now, so my mind will be blown if it ends up being a girl! Haha. We are more about not so common names if you couldn't tell!


Keep praying that I am able to fly space A with no problems Dec 1st and coming back here. That is the update from today!

16 weeks down....

Here is the latest. I think you can tell a lot more now. Not a ton but there is a bump there, lol. I don't have much to say, just a picture for today!

Whats new?! Not much!

Whew how time flies!


I can't believe that I will be 16 weeks pregnant tomorrow! Only 4 weeks till I am half way through! Crazy! It just seems like a couple days ago we found out, it flew faster than I thought it would really. Which means the last half will probably go even faster since we'll be getting things all ready.


I am very excited for sure, but its kinda nerve racking all the same. Being a mom for the first time. Having this little person be soley dependent on Nick and I. The whole not sleeping thing, that will be tough! Haha. I like my sleep!


Like I said though, we are super excited and definatly anxious to welcome this little person into our family. Even though, we both have agreed that we will definatly have some jealousy issues with Kodi. He gets jealous now, over Nick hugging me or loving on Kaci, so I know he is gonna be a handful when we bring the bundle of joy home!


As far as the pregnancy itself, its going great. I am slowly but surely starting to get more of a belly, so says Nick. I still don't see it as much but he says I do look pregnant. When Nick gets off work tomorrow I will have him take a picture, mainly for my mom, because she begs for them weekly. My next appointment is the 27th and then after that we get to schedule the big ultrasound!


I am planning on flying space A to my grandparents house the begining of December. My mom is there going to school and since I didn't get to see my sister when I was stateside this past July she is flying to Arkansas from Florida to see me! So I am pretty excited about that. Since it will be space A though, pray that all goes well I get on here and in Baltimore on the way back. It will be a short trip. Only 2 weeks but well worth it. And not to mention baby shopping! BX here is so limited and, well then we won't have everything the same as everyone else here! And then of course, shopping with mom and Kylie will be awesome too.


Thats all I have for now I believe, hope everyone is doing well, wherever you may be!

Well, here are a couple pics. They are both the same day, one was just before getting dressed for the day. Excuse the sweatpants. They are just so comfy! Lol.


All is going well. I had a cold the begining of this week and I believe its passed for the most part. I still have a weird cough going on and a stuffy nose every so often, but all in all, I definatly feel way better than I did. I am very thankful that it didnt' last long, and that it didn't progress into more than just a cold.


Pregnancy wise, I'm feeling rather well! I have a pair of maternity jeans that I got from a lady a while back cause she was selling her maternity clothes. I have wore them the last two days. Lol. Honestly I can still fit in my other ones. But when I sit, I unbutton the top cause it just feels better, so when I finally tried the maternity ones on, I thought "oh wow, they are stretchy this is nice" haha. Don't laugh! I also have a belly band. I love it. I wear it with jeans and skirts and it looks like I just have an extra tee shirt on. I have it in black. I am gonna order another in white. {I got mine off Amazon}


I think that is about it on my update. Hope all is going well with you! Happy Fall!

The one above, was after dinner. Haha. You can kinda tell the difference with that one and the one below!
