BABY BUMP IS EXPANDING (WEEK 21)

Well, we're just over the half way point now and I'm finally starting to show. I never thought I'd be so ready and willing to gain weight but I really like the fact that I'm growing...as I grow so does Maddie and we're that much closer to meeting her! I'm still in the in-between stage where my regular clothes aren't fitting but maternity clothes are a bit big. Overall, I've been feeling pretty well. I still get tired easily and have been napping more than ever in the last few months. Overall, I think I have been very lucky with having an easy pregnancy. I guess we'll revisit these remarks when I'm 9 months pregnant in July in Central Texas!

WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!! (WEEK 20)

We just got back from our 20 week appointment and ultrasound and confirmed that we're having a girl! Baby Musgrove is now Madeline (Maddie) Layne Musgrove! We are very excited! The due date is still set for August 6th and all the measurements are normal.

I've also started to feel her kick in the last couple of weeks. I can tell she is getting stronger everyday. In fact, you can already feel her from the outside as well. Last night Chad put his cheek up to my belly and she socked him one right to the face. It was pretty funny.

I'm going to try to upload the video but have had a lot of trouble. I'll see if I can get it posted in the next day or two. Hope everyone is well! Lots of Love--The Musgrove Family

SOME DAYS, I CAN RELATE! (WEEK 19)

PREGNANCY: The best reason in the world to feel so crummy! I read this in a card the other day and it is so true. Of all the little side effects and symptoms pregnancy brings on, mood swings have reared their ugly little head in my life recently.

Most days it might be just a quick spell of frustration or an overwhelming feeling of sentimentality. Some days, it comes and goes but occasionally, I'll have a day where it is all I can do to get through work and come home to flop down on the couch. Exercise?!?! yeah right. For someone who was pretty consistent with yoga, jogging and kick boxing classes, that has gone out the window most days. But, I know I will return to my old self soon enough and in the meantime, I can't think of a better reason to have such moody days.
