27 Weeks preggo!!

I am so sorry I haven't been on here to post my pictures until now! We finished the BIG details on Luke's room this weekend with the parents. Millie and I are just working on the smaller details this week and next week. Organizing, sorting, washing, decorating more, etc!

Here are some pics from the room before the remodel :) heheh



AND AFTER the remodel :)

25 weeks!

Well I think its time for an update so here I am! I think I might dedicate this BLOG to funny pregnancy stories 101! When I sit and think about how life has already changed for me, I laugh! People treat you sooo much different when you have a lil bun in the oven.

The other day I was at work, I decided to go grab a sandwich at Winn Dixie. When I was walking down an aisle, a customer from AT&T saw me. He quickly walked up to me and stood beside me. (This gentlemen was probably 50 years old, long blond hair, super hyper and annoying). He then said to me "WOW, Congratulations huh?" and I looked at him and said "Thank you" HE THEN REACHED AND TOUCHED MY BELLY!!! ahhhhhhhhh!!! NOOOOO without even thinking I backed away and got really awkward... he said "alright well have a good day!" --- Why is it that just because I'm pregnant he thought it was okay to touch the baby! LOL! Funny though.

Second funny preggo story. The other day, I tried to bend over a pick something up and I really couldnt reach the floor! LOL! So I went to my knees to get it, when I tried to get up I was having difficulty, (mostly because the past few weeks my back has been irritating me), well then I just laid on the ground. When I wanted to get up I asked my husband to help me up, he looked at me and said "what's the problem butterball, you need my help?" ahhah I started laughing so hard. Well, when I told some of my friends that he called me a butter ball (sometimes shortens it to butter) some of them looked at me like "HE CALLS YOU THAT!?!!?" ---- YES he calls me that, and its endearing :) He also reminds me that no matter how much butterball I get, he loves me more and more each day! One thing I never want to do is stop having fun with my husband, and part of that is making fun of each other!!

Well I think that is a long BLOG for the day! Thanks for listening- even though I don't really know who reads this! HAHA love you all!

24 week pic update :)

Well here we are at 24 weeks (and 3 days to be exact)... We were headed to our neice and nephew's christening and it was time for the UPDATE pic!

.

This weekend, we got a lot done. We were able to move everything out of Luke's new closet and in to the attic or into other storage places. All that is left is Luke's room now is all of his new stuff! Mom and dad will be here on the 11th of June to set it all up with us! I will be sure to take before and after pics of the room.

.

Other than that, being pregnant is different everyday. Somedays I wake up with a sore back, sometimes with a sore hip... today is good! I feel him moving and moving around all the time, especially when I sit in a stool at work. I try and explain the feeling to my coworkers (men), but they all say "is it like the movie aliens? - where they put an alien in the mans stomach"... LOL gotta love guys! It is a weird feeling though, almost like my tummy is trying to talk to me. I know lil Luke does not have much room in their to grow so he better enjoy the extra room while he has it, because in 8 weeks or so he will have grown double the size and mommy's tummy isnt tall enough to have him stretched out the entire time! :)

.

I think about what he will look like often, I think about what kind of personality he will have, I dream about holding him and hearing him breath, feeling his heart on my heart.... and then I look up to heaven and thank GOD for such a blessing in my life.

.

Miss you all!

24 weeks and 2 days!

BLAH! Okay I decided to write a small snipet today... Because the last 3 days Luke has really been causing mommy a lot of pain. I would have to say the first 6 months of this pregnancy has been a breeze (only a few nauseous moments here and there) but over all I havent been sick, haven't had pains or anything out of the norm. UNTIL this week... I hit the 6 month mark and my back has been KILLING ME! I ordered a support for my belly (since its getting so big) So we will see how that goes..

This weekend is another busy one, getting ready for the baby room in a few weeks to be put together when mom and dad come down from Bothell, and big sister comes a few days later!

I will post some pictures next week as I haven't posted in about a month :) Now that I'm 24 weeks I BETTER UPDATE THE PICS :) Love you all

23 weeks today!

Well, today I am officially 23 weeks pregnant! Everyday it soaks in a little bit more that I will be a mommy. Some people have asked me what I think the coolest thing about being pregnant is, I can honestly say the coolest thing is when I close my eyes at night I can feel Luke inside of my belly. The bond that a mother has with their child is so special. I have heard it a million times before, but until now I never really understood what it meant to have this special bond! It's funny, whenever I talk to him and tell him that mommy loves him more than he will ever know, he kicks! I might be imagining it half the time, but I honestly feel a nudge when I tell him that!

Other than that, yesterday Luke's crib, dresser/changing table, mattress and bedroom set got delivered! We will be "putting it all together" the second weekend in June when Mr. and Mrs. Davis come to visit! There is no theme, but it is going to be chocolate brown, baby blue and tan! SO CUTE for my lil monster man!

I feel as if this week I have really popped out, so I will post a picture next week showing my belly... I told my family I really don't think I have enough room in this tiny lil torso of mine, but somehow Luke will find some space! :)

I miss you all and feel free to post comments on my BlOG cause thats why I am doing this anyway! To get your comments :)

Our First Blog Post!

16 weeks preggo!

20 weeks preggo!

I got this idea from a good friend of mine! I am halfway through the pregnancy, but hey better late than never to make an official blog dedicated to our little PARKER FAMILY!! My goal is to give an inside look on how this pregnancy is going, updated pictures, videos, ALL the fun stuff. Since most of you viewing this blog live across the country and its hard to keep in touch with all the day to day little stuff!

The summer is approaching and we are going to be VERY VERY busy coming up here very soon! This coming up weekend Lilly and I are headed to Atlanta to pick up Katie Navarro and then we ARE ALL headed to Killen Alabama to visit with Codi McGill :) A lot of driving, but its my last girls weekend before Mr. Luke is here pinning mommy down! lol!!
