Over halfway there!

I wanted to share some of the cute little pictures of baby Teagan that were taken at our last doctor's appointment. She was about 21 weeks in these ultrasound pictures. Currently we are at week 23 and I can hardly believe it! Over halfway there?!?! Wow... I'm not going to lie, I hope it continues to go this fast. Although we have A LOT to do and prepare for before Miss Teagan makes her debut I am antsy to cuddle with my little baby girl. I'm finally coming to the realization that mommy hood is ahead and I can't tell  you how excited I am about it. I realize (I think!) how trying it will be at times (lack of sleep, etc.) but I know it will be worth it a million times over. I'm ready to see this baby girl in T.J.'s arms. :) We are so excited. Here are the pictures...

You can see Teagan sucking her sweet little thumb here... and then her tummy with her little knee curled up. :)

This picture is looking down at her face. You can only see a sliver of her face... but do you see her sweet little nose?! Her cute lips are open as well... is that a plump bottom lip I see? :)

I just could stare at these all day. :) I never knew the excitement of looking at ultrasound pictures until they were my own! I mean that little forearm/elbow! I just want to kiss it! :)

The appointment went really well though. Teagan's heart rate is great and she looks like a perfectly healthy little girl! She is really starting to move around like crazy. T.J. can feel her when she's moving and he's even laid his head on my belly and she will kick his head hard! He loves it. :) I also felt her have the HICCUPS, cutest thing ever. I thank the Lord he blessed us with this sweet little girl and that we are able to experience this. We feel so fortunate.

I haven't had too many cravings... I have definitely requested a burger and fries a couple times and Thai food but that is about it. My emotions have pretty much been in check until about this last week and I could feel emotions that were kind of irrational... I have a confession. :) Today I went to pick up T.J. and we had been planning on going to The Creamery all day (the BEST ice cream place around here)... When I asked him if we were still on for ice cream he told me he didn't think we had time. Guys... I.KID.YOU.NOT... it took everything in me not to cry. Literally. I was so sad and upset that we weren't going. Needless to say, we went... :) T.J. saw my eyes fill with tears and I guess he realized how much I had been looking forward to it. About 10 minutes later I laughed and said "Man, I really almost cried when you told me we couldn't get ice cream!" He said, "Um... I KNOW, I realized you must have had this on your mind all day..." Anyways, all that to say there were some CRAZY pregnancy hormones going on there. When else would I CRY about not getting ice cream?! Wow....

I really do love being pregnant though! I love all the little kicks and squirms and I love thinking about "the three of us". :)

Here is a picture of me at 23 weeks!!

Miss Teagan Bradley is growing!!

Our 6 month (OH MY GOODNESS!) appointment is next week. We love going to the doctor and LOVE our doctor!

In a couple weeks I'm heading "home" to Oklahoma for Teagan's baby shower!!!! I can't believe it. My sisters are throwing me a shower and I'm so excited! I miss my family and friends and I'm glad they'll get to see me pregnant with Teagan!

Until next time! :)
