The Bowmans

34 weeks!!

2009-11-17T07:19:00.000-08:00

Well... we are coming up on the home stretch. I had a 34 week ultra sound and he was 5 1/2-6lbs already! He was head down though so that was excellent news! I have not dialated yet but hopefully at my 36 week appointment that will change! I feel great and am still able to workout 4-5 times a week. We are both so excited and cannot wait to see our little guy! Hopefully before christmas!! Here is the latest pic! Oh...and I've gained a whopping 21 lbs!

Last Vaca Before Baby Bowman

2009-09-09T08:19:00.000-07:00

Chris and I have just returned from a wonderful vacation. We went on a cruise for 5 nights and 6 days which stopped at Key West, Cozumel, Belize, cruised one day, then came back to Ft. Lauderdale. It was so wonderful! We have pretty good weather and just enjoyed celebrating our 1 year anniversary/last vaca before baby bowman comes. We were very limited to excurisions we could do because of the large abdomen I have so we did alot of soakin in the sun, swimming, shopping, and just walking around each port. It was nice to get away and spend some QT together. Here are just a few pics...there is a whole album on FB though. ABout 67 pictures in all so we'll just show a few on here but if you want to see them all you can see them on facebook. Enjoy!

22 weeks

2009-08-20T06:38:00.000-07:00

Not alot of updating at this point. I am 22 weeks along and getting bigger. Chris and I leave in about a week to finally take a long honeymoon on our 1 year anniversary! Our last vacation before baby. Here's a few belly pics we took...you can see a real difference between 19 and 22 weeks. :) We had to have an ultra sound the other day because they thought I had a low lying placenta. I was cleared of that and the doctor said I have a perfectly healthy pregnancy so far! Very relieved! But he did get to tell us that the baby is measuring to weight about 1 lb! How quickly our little nugget is growing! :)

Let the building begin!

So, anyone who has had a little one will understand the nesting instinct. Mine seems to be coming very early! We signed a lease on a one bedroom apartment before we found out I was pregnant. We are lucky that our bedroom is quite large so we can fit a changer and a crib, but no painting or other decor for now. We are waiting for Chris's parents to bring up our crib, but his sister came to visit and brought the changer up! So here are a few pics of my hubby putting together our first piece of baby furniture and a beginning to a long line of building and nesting. :)

19 weeks!

2009-08-20T06:24:00.000-07:00

I am now 19 weeks along and we just found out the sex....ITS A BOY!! I am so excited and of course my husband is as well! I am feeling alot more movements recently. Actuallly, for all my friends and family who know me, Chris got to feel the first movements while watching the Brickyard 400 in our living room! :) If you don't know me then I will explain that Nascar is my hidden love! No one believes me when I say I am a Nascar fan but trust me, I am! Here is a picture of me at 19 weeks, the day after we found out we were having a little boy! :)

Our First Blog

2009-07-13T12:07:00.000-07:00

As our friends and family know...we're expecting our first baby!! Since everyone is so spread apart, we caved and finally started a blog. This way our family can read all about our growing little one and continue in our journey with us! I'll give a quick update of my pregnancy so we can be caught up.

Chris and I found out on April 20th, 2009 that I was pregnant. A very faint line was shown in the first four tests I took, yes four... I was in disbelief, which was then reconfirmed Thursday April 23rd with a big, dark, pink line! We told all of our close family at 6 weeks, had our first ultra sound at 7 weeks, heard the heartbeat for the first time at 9 weeks through a doppler at the doctors office, and told friends at 10 weeks. Between 10-16 weeks, I've just been growing and trying to get rest. I am now 16 weeks, showing quite a bit, and in the next few weeks we will be able to find out the sex! We are so excited about our new addition to our family and can not believe how quickly this process has gone by! We will make sure to post all updates and photos ASAP!
