How Far Along: 14 weeks, believe it or not ;) They say the belly comes faster the second time...they were right! 

Weight gain: 2 pounds...I realize I look like I've gained much more, but I wasn't able to eat much for the first 12 weeks, so I actually lost a few during that time. I feel quite sure I'll make up for it ;)

Maternity Clothes: I wear my normal Summer clothes from last year for the most part. It won't be long and I'll be having to move on, I'm sure! 

Gender: Don't know yet!

Movement: None so far. Sometimes I think I feel flutters, but it could be wishful thinking!

Sleep: I had a few sleepless nights, but nothing like when I was pregnant with Gage. Hopefully I continue to sleep well!

Symptoms: For the first 12 weeks, I was extremely nauseous, but I never got sick. I feel much better now!

What I miss: Nothing so far! 

Cravings: Anything salty or sour. Absolutely nothing sweet!

Best Moment this week: To be honest, this week hasn't been the best for us. We have had the stomach virus. That, on top of being pregnant, wasn't so fun! This week should be better!

What I am looking forward to: Finding out what we are having in a few short weeks! We should find out the 2nd week in August!

Finally Full Term!

As you can tell, I didn't get my wish for a Valentine's baby. I just knew I would be holding the little guy in my arms by now. I have still been having several contractions throughout the day, and by the time I get home, they are getting pretty frequent. Hopefully this will be my last week of work for a while so I can get some "much needed" rest. I never realized how hard it would be to stand on your feet and work 40 hours a week! The bags are packed and we are ready, so keep your fingers...and toes...crossed that Gage will be here soon!!

This is my 37 week picture! If you remember I had another one with this same shirt on just a few weeks ago, and it looks completely different. Gage has dropped and it is very obvious! I have started to swell pretty bad, so please excuse the puffiness ;)

31 Weeks!

It is hard to believe that I only have less than 9 weeks left, but believe it! We are starting to have Baby Showers, and I am thrilled! I can't wait to get all the things we will need for Gage so that we'll be ready for him. As of now, I still feel very unprepared. Mom and I went shopping Saturday and got me some new outfits for the showers, so maybe I will feel a little bit better about myself. As you can tell, I have started to swell a little from standing on my feet all day, so my clothes aren't exactly comfortable anymore. I am starting to work half days from now until he gets here so that maybe I can make it the whole way...or atleast 37 weeks of the way! Those 10-12 hour days are starting to get the best of me! I'm just happy he is healthy and doing well! Anyway...here we are at 31 weeks!

29 Weeks...

Here I am at the 29 week mark...I have almost made it 3/4 of the way!!!! It seems like it was just yesterday that we found out we were pregnant, but time is starting to slow WAY DOWN!!! Work has been hectic because of the Holidays, so being pregnant is really starting to wear on me. Hopefully when New Years is over things will be a little easier....not that I'm complaining!


MeMe bought Gage's "Coming Home" outfit the other day, and it is absolutely precious! It looks really big in the pic, but it is actually so tiny! I just can't imagine how sweet he will be in it! It is getting so close to time for him to get here and I'm starting to get extremely anxious! I can imagine that these last 10 weeks are going to be really tough, but it will be time for him before we know it! Thanks MeMe!!!


I finally have all the Christmas shopping done...Thank Goodness! Now I'm just waiting Chrismas to get here! This is by far my favorite time of the year! Michael wrapped my gifts and put them under the tree a few days ago, and I have been begging to open "just one"! He just laughs and says no! I just can't wait for Christmas Day!!!! If I don't have time to post between now and then...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!!!!

27 Weeks Preggo!!!

I have finally moved into my 3rd Trimester!!! Yay! Although it has been a really great pregnancy so far, I am so ready for it to be over! I have finally made it below the 100 day mark, and couldn't be more thrilled! Gage will be here so SOON!! I find myself in his nursery atleast once a day...I guess making sure everything is still in place, HA! I just can't wait have a better reason to go in there! I just know he's going to be a doll!!

Post #5: Happy Birthday Michael!!!

Last but not least, I want to wish my wonderful husband a Happy Birthday...he turned 31 yesterday! The last two years that we have spent together have been better than I had ever dreamed! He is such a great guy and I know he is going to be an even better father to our children! I can't express enough how much he means to me, and I am looking forward to many more years! I thank God everyday for sending me such a wonderful man to spend my life with!!! I love with all my heart Ang!!!

Here we are at Outback for his birthday dinner!


Here is my 26 week pic! I think I need a new photographer...this one keeps on making me look bigger...ha!

Post #2: Thanksgiving Day!!

This is my 25 week pic on Thanksgiving morning! I never realize how big I am getting until I see a picture. I still cannot complain at all about my pregnancy. I have been extremely lucky to have had no problems so far. The heartburn is getting worse by the day, and the sleepless nights aren't much fun, but if that is the worst, I can deal with it! Gage is still a wild child and for some reason I have a feeling that won't change. He gets that from his Daddy...haha!!

For those of you who are married, have divorced parents, or both...you know that the Holidays are always HECTIC!! Michael and I both have divorced parents, so we always have 4 places to go for every Holiday. The hustle and bustle has always been sort of fun to me, but it usually gets Michael in an uproar before we ever leave the house. I am a huge family person, and it is always fun to visit with everyone. This year we managed to go to everywhere we had planned and we even had enough time to stay and visit longer than 20 minutes! Here is a picture of us at his Mom's for Thanksgiving dinner!

24 down...16 to go!

Here I am at 24 weeks! The pregnancy has been going great, and Gage is a WILD CHILD! He has been moving a lot these past few weeks and he is for sure getting bigger! It seems like everyday I wake up bigger and bigger. I have my next doctors appt this Wednesday, so keep us in your prayers. Hopefully everything is still going well! I should get another ultrasound, and I can't wait to see how much different he looks! I sure hope he cooperates! I haven't done anything new in the nursery since the last post, but I am hoping to do a few things this week! The bare walls are starting to drive me nuts!!


I have been hearing, and seeing other bloggers talk about the Walgreens game, so I decided to give it a try this week. I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but not too bad for a first timer. I got everything you see here for about $30 and the cost before all my saving would have been close to $60 dollars. Maybe next time I'll be able to get some better deals!

It's finally here!

It has only been a little over a week, but it seems like an eternity since we ordered Gage's bed and dresser! The bed came in today and we eventually got it put together. The dresser on the other hand, did not. Hopefully it will be in by the end of the week. We had a few minor problems out of the lovely folks at BABIES R US, but we managed to get things worked out. Here are a few pics of Baby Gage's new room! Tell me what you think!

This is MeMe and Pawpaw trying to put the crib together, but some of parts were missing...Imagine that! I had to make another trip to Little Rock to exchange one of the pieces before the crib could be finished!


Daddy trying to finish getting the crib together by himself...I don't think I was much help. I'm not too much of a handy man...ha!

Here I am trying to get the bedding just perfect for my little angel! I wouldn't want him to have to sleep in a messy bed!

This is a close up of the bedding! I just love it!

And this is the finished product! It turned out perfect and I am so happy with it! I can't wait until Gage gets here so I can spend lots more time in his sweet little room! By the way...Thanks Grams for the new crib!

I know this probably looks like a mess now, but I still have work to do. My aunt gave me the rocker, and I am going to paint it and recover the cushions. The little wicker stand has to be painted as well. Eventually I will have it all finished and post new pics!


21 Weeks! I haven't been doing very well on posting new preggo pics, but I am working on it! I am 21 weeks and 3 days now, and feeling better than ever! Gage has been kicking like crazy and I believe he gets the hiccups about 3 time a day...usually in the middle of the night! It is so funny how different things feel from week to week. I'm getting bigger by the minute, so apparently he is too! We still have 3 more weeks until our next ultrasound, but I am interested to see just how much he has grown!

Halfway There!

Yay!!!! This week is my halfway mark of my pregnancy! I have been so blessed throughout the first 20 weeks, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the next 20 go just as well. I have been feeling Baby Gage moving around quite a bit now, and I have to say, it is the neatest feeling ever. I had been telling Michael for a week or so every time I felt him kicking , and he could never feel anything, but he finally did the other night! I'm not sure, but I think he loved it!!

Mom and I went last Tuesday to register us at BABIES R US, and we had a lot of fun with it! I just never imagined there would be so many things I would need until I got there and started scanning things. I know there are probably lots of things that "Experienced Moms" could tell me that I need or don't need, so if any of you have any suggestions, that would be great! You always hear people saying "you need this" or "you don't need this", but for some reason I can never remember what they are when the time comes. I would LOVE any "new mom" advice I can get!!

Michael's Mom and Grandma went with me on Friday to BABIES R US to order our crib and dresser, and I can't wait to get them! Michael's Mom bought us the crib, and my Mom bought us the dresser. It means so much that our parents are being so much help to us! We are very blessed to have all of them! Gage is going to be so lucky to have such a huge family to love him! I will post pics as soon as we get everything put together...I can't wait!!

Last night we went to our annual Halloween Party that some friends of ours gets together, and it seemed to be bigger than ever. It is always a lot of fun to see all the costumes people put together, and sometimes I am in shock that they would actually wear them in public! I don't have many pictures of the costumes, but I did get a few of the family!

My Mom and I at the party!


Michael and I...my belly is getting bigger by the minute!


This is Michael and I with my Stepbrother Steven, and his girlfriend Sissy! The guys NEVER keep their eyes open for pictures...UGH!!


I forgot to post a 19 week picture (I forgot to take one), but I will try to remember to take one this week and post it at some point. For now, maybe the Halloween pics will work! Talk to you soon!

It is my pleasure to introduce to you...

ANDREW GAGE WILLIAMS!!!

We have finally decided on his name! After lots of thought and the back and forth, "No, I don't like that", or "Yes, I do like that", we made up our minds. We aren't sure whether to call him Drew or Gage, but will decide that soon and let everyone know! Here he is!

Sound asleep on his back!


This is his leg!


This is his sweet little face!


And here, he is upside down kicking like crazy!


I know this isn't near as cute, but this is my 18 week preggo pic!

#3 for Today!

It seems like I can't get enough blogging today! Michael just got home and I had him take my 17 week pic, so here it is!!!

16 Weeks!

Well, I have made it to the 4 month mark without any complaints! I am finally starting to show (as you can see), and I still feel great! I can still wear my normal clothes, so I'm pretty excited about that too! We have our next appt with the doctor next Tuesday and I am praying that everything goes well as usual.


Mom bought the baby "her" first pair of cowboy boots today (assuming it is a girl), and they are precious! I just can't wait for October 6th to find out for sure! I suppose if we have a boy, we will have lots of shopping to do! I have only bought a couple little boy outfits so far---OOPS!!! We haven't bought a lot, but every once in a while I see something I can't live without and I have to have it! I guess we if we have a boy, we will have several little girl baby gifts to give away! HA!


Michael took me out on a date to Gaucho's tonight and the food was AWESOME! I think I could eat my weight in the Grilled Pineapple and Parmesan Chicken! If you haven't been there, you have to go! It is WONDERFUL!!! After dinner, we went to Babies R Us and browsed around for a while. I think the ever growing belly is finally getting Michael in the mood to look for baby stuff! This is new to him because he hates to shop!

Talk to you soon!
