I am 19 weeks pregnant today!
Seriously, this pregnancy is FLYING by at lightening speed.
I go to my Dr. once a week now to get my 17P Shots, which is soooo not fun,
but totally worth it!
(I feel like a human pin cushion between these and my twice daily Lovenox shots)
The nursery is coming along and I can’t wait to show you every single detail!
Here is a little sneaky peeky (just because I LOVE to torture you… bwaaaahaha):
Here are some pictures of my ever growing bump over the last few weeks:
{17 weeks}
{18 weeks}
I am pretty sure Hollis went through a MAJOR growth spurt between weeks 17 & 18!
Don’t you agree?!?
This past Thursday,
I fell and landed on my belly while I was trying to wrangle Harper in her carseat…
It hurt… really bad… then the cramping started.
I called my Doctor and she said to come in right away to get checked out.
Thankfully, Hollis was just fine and there was no bleeding going on in there!
Praise Jesus!
Thank you all for your prayers and sweet messages!
I am so blessed to have all of you rally around us when things get scary and tough!
Here are the latest pictures of Hollis from the unexpected ultrasound I had this week:
{Her sweet little heart is beating away!}
{18 weeks 5 days}
{Hollis sporting her first bow!}
Oh yea,
and just because I am neurotic and will have them check until she is born…
here is another potty shot…
Hollis is still a GIRL!!!
She is moving a lot these days!
I wake up a lot at night because she is having a dance party in my belly.
Feeling her move and kick in my belly just may be the best feeling in this entire world.
You can see my belly move now when she is busy in there and I have felt her kick many times with my hand,
but every time poor Ross rushes over to put his hand on my belly,
she stops… which seems to be in true Hollis fashion!
Most of you know the baby’s name is
Hollis Corley
The name Hollis comes from my beautiful, older sister.
Her last name is Hollis.
{She is gorgeous inside and out}
Corley comes from Ross’s Grandmother, Ganny.
Her maiden name is Corley.
{She has the sweetest, purest soul of anyone I have ever met.}
We are so honored to name Hollis Corley after two amazing women who have played huge parts in both mine and Ross’s lives!
Next week, there will be new pictures of Hollis!
Yay!
So glad Hollis is ok! (I had a heart in mouth moment when you said you had fallen on your belly!!!) My bubby does the same thing waits for daddy to put his hand on it, and then stops the acrobatics. Actually, all my kids have done that (Although this one gave dad a good kick in the back while in bed the other morning! Tee hee hee). I hear you when you say they wake you up in the middle of the night with their dance routine!!!
Cute bow – and oh my, you are certainly more productive in the nursery production than I am. I’m at 28 weeks now, and I still have quite a way to go! Can’t wait to see your big reveal of the nursery.
haha don’t worry about being neurotic! It never occurred to me that the ultra sound could be wrong until about a month before my baby was born and then I started freaking out about not having any boy stuff. Fortunately (?) I had a borderline case of gestational diabetes, so they checked her every week. I know how you feel!
Can’t wait to see the nursery! We are doing ours in similar colors! My baby s one month old now-haha but we’re moving in a month and a half, so we didn’t bother to set up a nursery.
Hi Natalie,
thanks for the updates. Though we have never met, I feel like your family updates are inspiring!
When my sister was pregnant with her first baby (in 1998) she was on Lovenox shots. I was giving her shots daily when her husband wasn’t able to. It was the scariest thing in the world! I was always afraid of hurting her when I gave her the shots. I am glad I don’t have to do that anymore.
congrats on Baby Hollis and your beautiful family too! I like reading about Cliff’s updates and Harper’s birthday celebration.
Thanks again for sharing!
