21 Weeks

It has been a while since I have blogged. OOPS! I meant to do it last week at the 20 week mark but I was sick and not feeling up to it. I have had a cold for over a week now. I swear this thing just doesn't want to go away. Two weeks ago we went to the hospital to get an ultrasound (my lovely insurance wouldn't pay for my doctor to do it for some reason). While we were there they did a 4-D ultrasound. Pretty cool! The little man doesn't have fat on him yet so he still looked kinda like an alien....a very cute alien though :) The cd of the pictures are at my mom and dads house so when I get them back I will put them on here. The nurse that performed the ultrasound told me I was having a textbook pregnancy. That made me very happy!! Last week we had our actual doctors appointment to go over all the ultrasound pictures and to check all the other stuff they check monthly. As of last week I had only gained 13 pounds..YIPPEE!! Our next appointment is the appointment where they will be testing me for gestational diabetes. I am looking forward to drinking the red substance that is in my refrigerator at home...NOT! Until then here are some updates pics of the belly :)

So far we are only carrying to the front. My fingers are crossed that we don't spread out :) Until next time...when we are even bigger! HA

Introducing Keegan James!!!

Oh we are just so excited that we are having a boy! If you didn't know Matthew is the only boy McCaslin out of all the grandkids. So, there was no pressure or anything for this baby to be a boy to carry on the name! Praise Jesus the stress of having a male is over :) Here are a few on the pictures we got taken of the little guy.

He sure wasn't very shy about showing us that he is proud to be a male!! Now for all the fun to begin. For the first 4 hours of my day today I went through mulitple websites picking out my favorite baby bedding. Now that that is done we just have to sit down and figure out our favorite :) Good thing Christmas is coming up!

New news :)

It looks as though we will be finding out the sex of the baby a little earlier. We are going on the 9th to get an ultrasound. We are super excited that we don't have to wait until the 15th now! I will make sure and post the SEX and NAME once we find out!!!

Week 17

Well, we are now going on 17 weeks and 4 days....only 22 weeks a 3 days to go! Seems alot closer than it really is. We went to the doctor last Wednesday and got to hear the heart beat again. Matthew recorded it on his phone and makes everyone he sees listen to it. He is such a proud daddy! Life at our house has been a little crazy and it will stay crazy until after Christmas. Between Matthews school, traveling, work, Atlanta Boy Choir and now Upward starting this week my house is very quiet.

We had a pretty good Thanksgiving. My family was in Texas hunting and attending the Dallas Cowboy game...insert jealousy here...and we stayed in GA. Matthew golfed a lot and we put up Christmas. I would leave my Christmas decorations up all year if people wouldn't think I was a freak! HA!

Here are some updated pictures of my roundness :)

After this photo shoot I realized I needed to make sure my face was presentable from now on and not take pictures at midnight! Oh well...

Close up!

Looking a little rough in the front view :)

The lovely belly button update for my Matthew. Who pointed out the other day that when I laugh while laying down there isn't much of a belly button anymore...gotta love him!

And a picture of what I see!

I have got to call the Hospital to set up an appointment to get my ultrasound so we can find out what we are having! I am going to try to make it for the 15th so if you haven't voted on a boy or girl you better get on it!! After that we go back to the doctor on the 23rd!
