Repeat

Please excuse the fact that I repeated myself in my last 2 blogs....
I think being preggo makes you lose your mind sometimes! I was re-reading my blogs the other
day and realized I wrote the exact same thing on my last 2 entries. Well, if you can't tell,
I am shocked by how fast this is moving... in just a few short months he will be here!
By the way, I went blueberry picking the other day and I now have $19.00 worth of blueberries in my freezer. If you don't know this, that is a LOT of blueberries! So far I have made muffins and eaten them on my cereal, gonna try out my first cobbler this weekend when we have some friends over for dinner! Have a great week everyone!

24 weeks...

Here is my 24 week picture... I can't believe I am already 6 months along! My how time flies!

The boy is a Kickin'

So I am now 24 weeks along, I can't believe I am already 6 months preggo!
My how time flies! I have been feeling the baby move for quite some time now, however now
the kicks are getting more fierce and more frequent. I am beginning to think this boy does not like to sit. I feel him most when I am sitting or laying down. It is quite amazing to feel that little person inside of you. Josh felt the baby kick for the first time while we were on the cruise, since then he has felt him multiple times and so have others. Josh's parents came down for a visit 2 weekends ago and unfortunately I got the flu :( ,But Momma M did get to feel little bean kick.
It is quite magical to feel him inside and I usually chuckle a little bit when I feel him. It is truly a miracle, growing a baby inside of you and I feel so honored that the Lord has given me this gift. I can't wait to see and hold this little boy, I am thinking one day he is going to be a soccer player! P.s. I love being preggo in the summer! I was telling my friend Jen that came to visit me this weekend that if I can plan to have all of our kids around this same time I will, I feel like its been perfect because next summer he will be old enough to take to the beach! Can't wait!

Baby Moon

Josh and I had the opportunity to go on a " baby moon" aka, vacation before your first baby comes. We decided to go on a cruise, because the prices are so much better for what you get, than if we booked flights and got a hotel and rented a car and the whole bit. It was 7 days of AMAZING weather to and from the Bahamas. We had 3 days at sea, 3 days on islands of the Bahamas, and way way too much food! Other than the fact that I did not sleep very well on the boat, due to its rocking nature we had a FABULOUS time! Our first stop at port was to Nassau, there we got to take a glass bottom boat to Pleasure Island and take a tour of the Atlantis Resort. I have wanted to go to the Atlantis since middle school, so this was part of a dream come true. They are known for the fact that they have the largest lagoons/ aquariums in the world. It was really neat to see all the sharks , fish, and sting rays. We also got to do a little shopping in town and went to the straw market and talked to some of the Bahama Mamas ha ha.

Our 2nd stop at port was Half Moon Cay. This was amazing, Half moon is an island owned and operated by Carnival. So only people who are on the cruise get to go, the water is crystal clear and warm. They have their own facilities and the grounds are beautiful. The cooks from the ship came to the island to cook all of us lunch, it was great!

Our 3rd port was to Grand Turk. Grand Turk was probably my favorite day. Yet another day being lazy in beautiful waters, but also a trip to Margaritaville. If I was not preggo I would have tasted one of their 58 margaritas, but instead I settled for a virgin strawberry daiquiri and we had lunch there also - delish! On this day, I also was one of 4 people picked to sing in the talent show that night. I got to sing with the ship's band, in front of over 900 people. It was a lot of fun and makes dream bigger dreams for life. I sang Whitney Houston's " I will always love you" and was surprised at how many people were clapping and cheering. I felt like a diva for a night, it was truly a special moment. This trip will definitely be one we remember and if you have a chance to go on a cruise I definitely suggest it! They are truly grand.

Oh and p.s. I LOVED how every night the room steward would put chocolate mints and a towel animal on your bed... it's the little things I guess :)
