20 Weeks!

The halfway point was crossed this Saturday and Preston and I celebrated an early Valentines day by treating ourselves to a couples massage at Baby Belly with chocolates and sparkling grape juice. We finished the night off with a meal at Chili's and some Starbuck's. Today was the big 20 week checkup...plus Valentine's Day:) What an amazing day! More than anything we are so thankful to have a healthy baby boy growing. And yes, it's confirmed, he's a BOY. We got to see his heart, brain, legs, feet, arms, hands,....it was just all so miraculous and really does make you wonder how anyone could deny the existence of our God. After our doctor shared with us that everything checked out well, an automatic weight was lifted and I was reminded quickly that God is in control and he will bless us. After finishing with the long-awaited appointment, we made a stop at Rafferty's for dinner (mainly for the crescents:) and then headed home to finish up the cupcakes that Preston had baked for me as a little surprise Valentine treat.

Zumba Baby!

Just got home from shakin' it at Zumba with the girls:) I think Kaz was dancing in my belly....I felt some kicks and punches!

Between pre-natal yoga, walking, and Zumba I hope I can keep this body in shape.

Last time I went to the doctor for my 15 week check-up, I was told I needed to slow down on the weight gain...so I'm trying! I go back to the Doc for my next appointment in a week, so I'm going to work extra hard this week to eat healthy and exercise (If only the weather would cooperate). Looks like I won't be getting outside tomorrow for an afternoon stroll. Doubt we'll even have school...guess it's not all bad:)

Very First Belly Pics! :)

This is just so everyone can see how much the belly grows from the beginning....here is the first picture

taken the day I found out I was pregnant (at only 5 weeks). Taken: October 25th, 2010 (picture on left)

Then....check out the picture on the right - yep 3 months later! This is me at 4 months.

First Kick!

So, it was just me and PC sitting on the couch...watching one of the most disgraceful UK basketball games of the century when I felt an abrupt kick in the stomach. It was Mr. Kaz:) and what made it even cooler was Preston got to feel it too. He was right next to me, so I grabbed his hand after the first kick, put it on my belly and the second kick followed shortly after. It was such a neat feeling and experience to get to have together.

We're having a baby!

We found out October 25th, 2010, that we are pregnant! So excited to begin this journey together as a family, we wanted to share our news with everyone:)
We just learned at our 16 week ultrasound that we are going to have a baby BOY - we decided on a name already! He will be Kaz Preston Clay (Kaz is short for my mom's maiden name Kazee). I will try to update soon with pictures!!! We are expecting his arrival around July 2nd.
