Adam's first kick!

Today Adam got to feel the baby kick! I have been so excited for him to feel the baby move since I've been able to feel him move for quite some time now. He really started getting active while Adam was gone all of October, so I was really hoping he'd be able to feel him kick soon after he got home, and he did!

Last night we were sitting on the couch and the baby's head or butt pressed up against my belly where it got really hard. So I had Adam feel that and he thought that was really cool. I told him just wait until he feels him move, that's cool! Then today, he was kicking away so I had Adam come over and put his hand on my belly. Sure enough, he started kicking away! Adam thought it was amazing! I am so glad he got to feel his little man move around in there....we wonder what he is doing in there!! :)

BIG NEWS!!!

This morning we woke up to a normal Halloween day. Or so we thought.....

Just before we were going to head out to our normal breakfast spot, IHOP, Adam decided to check his Army email since he had been gone all month. And what a surprise that was....

Right then and there we found out that he is on orders for Colorado!

WE ARE MOVING TO COLORADO!!!!

The past few months, Adam has been hoping and trying to get out of the division he is currently in. We had heard that we might be going to Ft. Campbell, KY. So we were more mentally prepared to move there and had no real thought that it would actually happen. So when we saw Ft. Carson in Colorado, we were in complete shock! Thrilled, but in shock!

His report date is February 10th, meaning that is the day he has to check in at Ft. Carson. That is shortly after we are due to have the baby! So we are planning to make the trip across country to Colorado at Christmas time.

Talk about stress! We have to rent out house, find a house to rent, pack and move all within the next 7 weeks. And I am mucho preggo! So this should be interesting.

We are going out to Colorado to look at houses November 19th, so I hope we have luck and find one! That's most important....a place to live!

It's all very exciting but at a crazy time!!

Off to Colorado we go!! :)

Adam is home! Adam is home! Adam is home!

Adam is home from JRTC! We didn't think he would make it home until November 2nd, missing my birthday again, but he came home today! I got to pick him up on post at 11am! He has been gone since October 5th....what a long month it's been without him!

It was just in time for his family to come visit from Virgina. His mom, her best friend, his brother and his wife came down with their 3 kids to spend the day with us. They ended up helping us put together out baby furniture, which was a HUGE help!

It took all day long but it's all put together! HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!

27 weeks!

Belly is protruding out!! LOVE IT!

Baby and I are both doing great!

NC State Fair

Yesterday me and my friend Victoria went to the NC State Fair. It was the first time in 3 weeks that I could walk, with just a little limp, so I took advantage of it and went to eat my way through the fair! We ate, and ate, and ate, and checked out the animals. Of course, no rides, which was fine. The food was good enough!

Me and Victoria....


State Fair (27 weeks)...

I made it 7 hours at the fair! Whew, what an accomplishment! The next day I did nothing...heheh :)

Trip to Arizona

I went to Phoenix to hang out for a week from Oct 13-20 while Adam was in JRTC for the whole month. As stated in my previous post, I also had my baby shower while I was there.

Here are a few other pics from the trip!

My mom helped Tom's sister make me a quilt, blanket and pillow for the baby. Amazing!

Me and my mama....
Me and my bro.....

My grandma is VERY excited about Baby Montgomery!!

The grandparents.....(26 weeks pregnant)

Baby Shower Time - Phoenix!

On Saturday, October 16th, I had my baby shower in Phoenix. It was a great day with great people!

So, the theme of the Baby's room is Turtles. So my mom wanted to do a turtle theme for the baby shower as well. She ordered turtle cookies from AJ's and just days before the shower they called to tell her that they didn't have a turtle cookie cutter. So we cancelled the order and thought we could just do them ourselves! How hard could it be? She already had a turtle cut out, so we just had to make the cookies and icing and frost them! Right!?


WRONG! Apparently we did not have the baking skills to make sure the turtles stayed as turtles once they were baked. They came out more like blobs!

Cookie cutter vs. how the cookie came out....

Turtle? I think not!
We were very bummed. We tried everything! Re-rolling dough, chilling dough, nothing kept it as a turtle. So we gave up. Next we figured we would just make thick circles and decorate them blue and green. How hard could THAT be?? Well, apparently hard....our cookies came out flat as a board!

Our stack of flat, blob like cookies....

In the mean time, AJ's called and said they found a turtle cookie cut out and had made our cookies! We thought, YAY! So my mom went to pick them up....

Turtles? More like long neck dinosaurs!! And pink!?!? It's a boy!!

So we ended up eating the pink ones, scraping off the pink frosting off of the blue and painting some green icing on, getting plain sugar cookies from Paradise Bakery and decorating those. A lot of work for stupid cookies!!!

End result...

Here are a couple more pics from the shower. All others can be seen here:

Thanks to everyone! It was a great day!

26 weeks!

I am still having horrible lower back pains that go down my right leg when I walk...darn sciatic nerve! Other than that, we are doing well! Moving right along!

25 weeks!

Still doing great!

24 weeks!

6 months and a growing baby and belly! Loving every minute of it! (Besides the horrible lower back pains he is causing these days...) :)

Still love him!

Ultrasound ~ our favorite kind of appointment!

Last night we had our follow up ultrasound. It was basically just for fun. We got to spend some more time staring at our baby boy on the screen, oo-ing and awe-ing as we watched him move around! This time the tech gave us many more pictures! YAY!

His face (tilt head to the left)...

His arm and hand, his fingers were kind of curled up...

Side view of him, head and arm...

His foot...

It's definitely a boy...

Another pic of his face and body...

Tech said he looks perfect! Great measurements, great organs, all is good!

He is breech right now, meaning his head is up near my ribs and his butt is sitting on my bladder. They said not to worry, he still has plenty of time to turn upside down!

We already love him so much!!!
