Oh, and it's a boy!!!

OK, now I blame this excuse on the prego brain!!! I just realized I hadn't announced on here that we did find out we're having a boy! We're super excited, either way we would have been excited, but it will be super fun to have two boys close in age once our adoption is complete! (which is just on hold until this son is 9 months old)

The Past 14 weeks... only 8 left 'til the due date!

30 weeks

So sorry everyone that I have been a total slacker at updating the blog for the past 14 weeks! I have no excuse other than procrastination and forgetfulness! I've been feeling pretty good. Growing more each week for sure! Baby Soup Campbell is moving lots and it has been so fun to be able to see him move now! Based on average fetal growth, he is around 17 inches long now and around 4 lbs in weight! Pretty exciting! A few weeks ago Evan's parents were here and they blessed us with the gift of our crib and rocker/glider chair for the nursery!!! Thanks Fath and Moth! We're working slowly but surely on the nursery, once we have things ready I'll be sure to post pics! So, here's the last several weeks of belly growth pics!!!

14 Weeks!!!

14 Weeks today! No more buttoning of my pants! Time to go shopping!

Good News!

We found out yesterday we are officially approved by our adoption agency to postpone our adoption!!! This is a huge "Praise the Lord" because the agency had the option of canceling our adoption all together, and we did not want that at all! So, we'll be able to renew our paperwork once Baby Campbell #1 is 9 months old! Thank you Lord for such great news!!!

Baby Campbell 10 weeks 5 days

Here's Baby Campbell!!! This is actually the ultrasound picture from our appointment 2 weeks ago. The baby was 42.5mm from head to hind end, which is about 1.75in. Measuring tall already for the average at that gestation, so I think we're going to have a tall child. Not surprising when you see their father!!! The head is to the right, bottom on the left and the right hand is showing too!
I'm now at 12 weeks 5 days gestation and our next appointment is at 15 weeks. Today however, we got to HEAR the baby's heartbeat for the first time, which was incredible! Tears came to my eyes once again of course! Thankfully I am getting a bit more energy back as I'm heading into the 2nd trimester, and the nausea seems to be coming a little less often, which is wonderful of course!!! My belly is sticking out slightly more, and my pants are definitely tight and not "buttonable. " Once my belly is obviously showing a baby bump, I'm sure I'll add pics of that too!
