Carter's Turning 3!

3 years ago today I was in  labor and at 1:41am Carter Jayrell decided to make his way into this world.
He has been my everything, he stole my heart since the  first time I heard his heart beat! A love a mother has for her child is unconditional!  This weekend I'm going up North to celebrate Carter's Birthday and bring him back home. I'm so excited I can't wait to see him! (if you been reading my blog, you'd know that Carter has been up north with my parents  since Aug. so I could finish my last semester in college)

Here are some Pics of Carter's First and Second Birthday.  ::: I didn't realize till I bought the outfit that both his first birthday and second birthday outfit look almost identical!! only difference is the stitching smh lol  this yea I swear he is wearing a whole different color!! lol:::::

Bummer... No shower for me..

So at the beginning of my pregnancy I was super excited to have a shower and come up with a theme and all that. BUT .... due to the untimely circumstances that has happened to me I won't be having one. :/  super bummed because I wanted to get together with my Girlfriends and family to celebrate.  When Nolan comes I'm going to be in the process of moving back to up north.  I have an awesome internship at a Lab in NY in the summer so I definitely have to be ready for that. After my internship I will officially be a college graduate! So another reason to celebrate! I was thinking maybe doing a "sip n see" once I have everything settled so I can introduce Nolan to all my friends and family :) 

Fingers crossed Everything falls into place... and no negative things/people try and stop this from happening.
just in case your wondering:
Sip N See :: a small gathering of friends and family to all meet the new baby and usually accompanied by drinks and small meal.

Side Note! Tomorrow is Carter's 3rd BIRTHDAY!!!

25 weeks Thanksgiving week!

Gobble Gobble day is slowly approaching and so is Carter's 3rd birthday! 
Today Marks my 25 weeks which means only 15 more weeks or so Till Nolan makes his entrance! :)

Nolan is growing very well and is an active mover as usual,  My sleep is definitely not getting better, every time I move to get comfortable I get a swift kick letting me know little one isn't comfortable anymore lol
Nolans Growth:
Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. his weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture

Mommy Can't wait to see you Nolan!!

 Silly pics of Carter skyping with me :)

Week 24

WEEK 24

This little boy has been kicking me like crazy! Either a kick to the bladder or punches all along my belly. lol No complaints though I love feeling him move.  Ive been craving nothing but sweets! I miss sleeping, I'm suppose to be enjoying all the sleep I can get because I know when the little one comes I won't have a good night sleep for a few MONTHS! lol I called those the Zombie days. Not looking forward to it. But I'm getting a taste since I can never get comfortable in bed. I use so many pillows and nothing helps, OR i'm just wide awake feeling little man wiggly and get comfortable himself.  16 more weeks or so till Carter and I meet my little boy!

Your Body's DevelopmentDuring 24 weeks pregnant your uterus continues to expand, rising to roughly 2 inches above your navel. You may be startled to find people want to start touching or rubbing your belly, whether for good luck or to feel the baby. Many people do this without warning. In fact, some may neglect to say hi to you and come right up and address your belly!

If this bothers you keep in mind that it is your belly and your baby. Don't be afraid to tell them you are sensitive or better tell them you are ticklish. You could always put your hand on your tummy preventing them from doing the same. Just keep in mind most people mean no harm and simply feel joy at the notion of a newborn baby coming into the world.

Many blogs behind

Sorry everyone, its been awhile since I blogged, Alot of good things and bad things have happened and I definitly needed the time to myself.  I won't discuss the bad since i'm trying to stay positve through out all.  So now to the good news!!!!

---------------------------------------------------
Let me catch you up....

Oct 26th- Pregnancy week 21!

Had the big "ultrasound" done

and drum roll please.....

I seriously thought I was going to have a little girl, but God is blessing me with another Baby boy. I couldn't wait to go home and tell Carter. Carter has been saying that he is having a little sister so when I told him it was a little boy he FLIPPED OUT!! lol... he is so upset that won't have a little sister. I'm sure he will get over it once he sees his little brother :)

Here is my mother teasing Carter that he won't have a little sister and he was not to happy about it.

Enjoy...
