25 weeks - Nov. 15th ish

I've been meaning to post these pics, but alas, life gets in the way...
This is me at 25 weeks. Dont mind the funny look on my face: look at my belly.

Right after that my good friend Theresa came through town and we had the pleasure of catching up during lunch at McDonalds. It was Luke, Tree, Caleb, & I. Tree is preggo too! Her baby will be delivered via C-section on February 2, a few weeks before Baby Bobcat is due.


And here is a picture of Caleb. I can't believe he's almost 2! The last time we saw him he was so little!!! He was a little shy at first, but enjoyed the play place at MCDonalds and of course fell in love with Luke. I swear, Luke is like a baby whisperer. Little ones love him. He will be such a great dad!!!

Baby Update 11/9/10

We went to the doctor yesterday for our 24 week appointment and all is well. He said things are doing great, and I'm right on schedule via weight gain. He did a quick ultrasound and said things look good.

Things I'm noticing:
*I'm pretty sure my belly grows overnight! Luke agrees
*Its getting harder and harder to bend over. I have to sit down to put on my socks. I'm learning to squat more often.
*My appetite has increased like crazy, and my bladder is more and more squished every day. I swear some days all I do is pee and eat, eat and pee. ha ha
*We still don't want to know what the sex is. Sorry Alli & Vicki!
*My parents have started calling the baby "Waldo" because after looking at the ultrasound pics they think its like playing Where's Waldo. This baby is not a Waldo! We much prefer "Baby Bobcat". Hopefully "waldo" doesn't stick.

Cat Griz football is next weekend. Its the Cat's year! We're excited.

Baby Frazier - Ultra Sound

So we finally got around to putting up our ultra sound pics. The first one is the ultra sound at 21 weeks and the second is the the 3D ultra sound at 21 weeks!

Pregnancy Update 10/31/2010

Here you go, pictures of my ever growing belly!




The pregnancy is going pretty well at this point. I am still a little bit nauseated at times and am continuing to take the anti-nausea pill everyday. Its a lot better than it was though! Im also still tired and wear out easily, which can contribute to some nausea. Right now we are 23 weeks of 40, which is about 5.5 months. According to What to Expect When You're Expecting, a trimester is 13 weeks, so I will be 6 months at 26 weeks, in roughly 2.5 weeks. The baby is growing right on schedule. At our appointment a few weeks ago he or she was .75 pounds. It seems like every day my belly is bigger when I wake up. Luke agrees. The baby is also very active. Baby bobcat kicks and moves around a lot. Its really exciting when Luke gets to feel the kick.

I have had some cravings, but not for foods I normally crave, like chocolate. I want macaroni and cheese and hamburger and pickles. Weird. I think I could live off mac and cheese. yum!

We do not know the sex of the baby and don't want to find out. We want to be surprised when he or she comes out. Our friends and relatives are not thrilled about this because it puts a kink in their shopping plans, especially Nanny V's. We have some white and yellow for the beginning. I'm sure the shopping will begin as soon as word is out.

In the meantime, keep praying for a healthy baby!

Lukes going to be a great dad!

I know Luke will be a great dad because he loves kids and loves babies! At church he is always finding babies and holding them or playing with them. Here he is with baby Joseph, who is a tank of a kid at almost 5 months! I don't think a service goes by without Luke holding Joseph!

We had our 20 week doctors appointment today and baby bobcat is doing great! It weighs 3/4 of a pound and its measurements are right on track time wise. We got the first onesie a few weeks ago.....yellow with a blue bobcat head embroidered on it! It will be the only baby to come out of a missoula hospital wearing bobcat gear! I've also started feeling bobcat kick and move.

Update (finally!): baby & missoula

Ive been a total slacker lately. Im 18+ weeks pregnant now (almost halfway!!!), and the sickness has mostly subsided. I'm still taking anti-nausea medicine but not as much. Now I'm just dealing with uterus stretching pain and uncomfortableness, and round ligament pain. Hopefully I can turn into a normal human being soon, Im sure Luke would like his wife back. :)

For those who are wondering, no we don't know what we're having, and no, we don't want to know. It will be a big surprise! Luke is convinced its a boy, and I have no idea. I'd be happy with either. Just a healthy baby is all I'd like. And to not be pregnant anymore.

We are liking living in Missoula. The church is wonderful and we have found a wonderful church family. Luke is still working really hard and loving his job. His diploma came in the mail today, which was exciting. We're leading a small group bible study on Tuesday nights and are excited for that.

Don't worry, we haven't let Missoula rob us of our love for the Bobcats. The baby already has a bobcat onesie. I told my father-in-law that it will be the only baby to come out of the Missoula hospital in bobcat gear.
