Alright, I caved... I made a blog. I figured it would be a good way to keep our far-away family and friends in the loop, especially once Baby Taylor is born. I've never been good at keeping up with things like this, but we'll see how this goes!
This past weekend CJ and I were able to go home to Texas for the weekend. It was so fun to be able to be home for my birthday and for Mother's Day! While we were in town I also had a baby shower, and it was seriously the shower of all showers! My mom, grandma and my sister threw it for me, and anyone who knows my mom and grandma knows they go all out. All my friends kept telling me that they should be professional party planners.
I mean seriously, how beautiful is that table?!
I'm horrible at taking pictures of my growing stomach, but I'm about 30 weeks here! Only 10 weeks left!!!
All the cute outfits and gifts I got at the shower made me so excited for Baby Taylor to arrive!! I can't believe I only have 10 weeks left... I'm definitely starting to get nervous, but I am so excited. Most people think I am absolutely crazy for having a baby so young and this fast after CJ and I got married. And ya know what? It is probably a little crazy. Am I ready to be mom? Will I have any idea what I am doing? No, not even in the slightest. But I don't think anyone is ever really ready to start a family. I mean how do you really "prepare" for something like that? In my opinion, you can babysit/nanny all you want and read all of the books you want, but none of that will make you finally "ready". You just have to trust Heavenly Father and learn as you go! (Hallelujah I have an awesome mom, and mother in law, who won't mind me calling them 24/7 with a billion questions!) And that's exactly what I am going to do! I know it definitely won't be easy. In fact, it'll probably be the hardest thing I've ever done... But I cannot wait. I know without a doubt that this baby was meant to come at this time to Ceej and I, and I love her so much already!
BABY UPDATE: Baby Taylor already has the cutest little personality. She loves to tease people, especially her dad. One of her favorite things to do is move around and kick, and then as soon as dad touches my stomach to feel her, she'll stop. Then as soon as he takes his hand away, she starts right back up again! It's frustrating for poor Ceej, but Baby Taylor and I get a laugh out of it. :) She's pretty dang shy though right now... Whenever I go in for an ultrasound, she is always hiding from us! She never lets us see her face! I can tell you her spine is in tip-top shape though since that's all she'll let us see! As far as cravings go, I haven't really had any! Although the past couple of days I have realllly wanted a big waffle with whipped cream and strawberries on it, so I'm thinking I may need to go to Waffle Love on Saturday. I have been feeling great though! No more sickness or anything (YAY)! My legs get super restless at night though and it makes it impossible to sleep sometimes. I seriously think I would rather be nauseous than these dang leg cramps. So if any of y'all have any advice on how to help with restless legs in the third trimester, let me know!
SHOUTOUT: A huge thank to you everyone who helped with my baby shower (both my Provo shower and my Texas shower) and also to everyone who came. Seriously, thank you so much. It meant a lot to see you all there! I'll try and get thank you cards written, but I am seriously the worst at those, so it might take some time. So just know that I really appreciate it! :)
