26 Weeks 2 days!

So tomorrow is the big day! The first of our 2 4-D ultrasounds. The next one will be around 31 weeks. We are sooo very excited! I'll be sure and post pictures as soon as I can, probably Friday.

Also our 1st baby shower has a date. October 11th!! This shower will be thrown by my mom and sister and then my amazing mother in law is throwing us another one sometime in late October. Yay!! I can't wait to see everyone and celebrate Seth.

Oh yes we picked out a bedding we like and are registered for it. Wahoo! See the picture below :o) I love it because it is different design then I have seen and because of the blue, beige and brown! LOL! I can't wait to decorate. Our good friend has told us he will draw whatever mural we like on the wall and so I certainly can't wait to see how that comes out!

Random Pictures over the last few months!

My belly at 25 weeks 2 days!

Here we are at week 25!!!!!

Time is sure flying by!!!! I remember being 10 weeks along and thinking how far away 25 weeks was and here it is! Baby Seth is gonna be here sooooo fast! It is weird to think in 15 weeks he will be god-willing be here and we'll be a little family! CRAZY!!

Baby updates...Well he moves and moves. Brett FINALLY got to feel him kick For the last 3 weeks Brett has tried to feel it but Seth would stop when Brett would lay his hand on my stomach and then will start up again once Brett walked away. Poor Brett he was beginning to think Seth didn't like him :o( But then one night before going to sleep, I was on my side and Seth was going crazy and I motioned Brett to put his hand on (didn't want to talk so Seth couldn't here me tell Brett..lol!) and Brett felt Seth. For a good 3 or 4 minutes! We were happy! The lucky #2 person to feel Seth was my sister Corryne. Last night we went to see our parents who just returned from Hawaii, and we were hanging out and Seth started to move, so my sister comes over and puts her hand on and he stops. So Corryne tells Seth that he better kick or she isn't going to finish planning our baby shower and he won't get any gifts. I kid you not he kicked as soon as she finished! It was classic!!!

We have our 4D Ultrasound on the 28th so I will be sure to post pictures of that. We are sooo anxious to see him in 4D! What will he look like? AHHH the anticipation!

Another crazy thing is next month will be our 1 year anniversary!!! This time last year we were planning our wedding and now we will be planning for our son's arrival!

23 Weeks and a sad sad belly day!

Yesterday I began my 23rd week. 17 more to go! Well today at work I was in the bathroom and there is a body length mirror and I just happen to see this reddish mark on my belly and to my sad sad surprise the stretch marks have come! I saw faint ones last week and since then have be lathering up on "tummy butter". But I was too late! They are now turning that purplish red color! AHHHH!!! Good thing little Seth will be worth all this!

Oh yeah by the way we have a name! I forgot to post it on here and in case you didn't know. Baby Bean is Seth Allyn Humphreys! Allyn is after his Dad and Grandpa Rick who both have the middle name of Alan/Allen. So we decided instead of choosing which spelling of the two to use, we will look up other forms of spelling it.

Well here is a picture of what little Seth should be looking like at 23 weeks...

It's a .....

BOY!!!! We'll be welcoming a little boy December 1st(give or take depending on how much he wants to come out :))! We are so very excited! I did want a girl, but I am sooo blessed that the Lord knows what he is doing and we are being blessed with a little boy! Everything looks good and he is one little active guy. Both the ultrasound tech and doctor said we have much to look forward to. It is sooo weird to finally know that I have a little boy growing inside! I can't wait to meet him!

Lucky for little Baby Bean (we have no boy names picked out yet) he will have 2 boy cousins to play with and get into lots of trouble with! We also realized that Humphreys men prefer to make little boys than girls..lol!!!

Oh yeah and apparently the Chinese Calendar is correct. My mom will never let me forget that! I was really hoping to prove that darn calendar wrong...lol!!!

So here are a few pictures of our little guy!

His boy parts..

1 week and 1 day..

We will hopefully be finding out the gender of our little bean! I was kinda bummed we had to wait until week 21 and not week 20 (hey I know it is only a week but it is a big difference to me :o)), Then someone reminded me that it is the same day that Brett and I got in engaged! I totally forgot! I blame it on the pregnancy...lol! So hopefully on our 2 year anniversary of our engagement date we'll be able to find out whether a little girl or boy will be joining us in December!

OH yes! I am pretty sure I have felt baby bean moving around! To me it doesn't feel like fluttering, but like the baby is flicking me from the inside or really small spasms. No matter tho, it is such a great blessing to be able to feel the life God created moving about inside! SO please keep us in your prayer that Baby Bean will cooperate and not be shy and show us his/her goods at the time of the ultrasound!

PRAISE THE LORD!

We are finally in our "OWN" place!!!! I couldn't be more excited and blessed! It was a long nine months but soooo worth it!! Everything fell into place, both monetary wise and our GREAT helpers! I know that this was the perfect timing the Lord had! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH to all of our friends who came over and helped move and paint in the heat especially staying in the house when it had no cool air running! You are such a blessing to us and I pray the Lord blesses you MIGHTILY for giving up of your time and suffering in the heat!! To our families too! For also braving the heat and spending your vacation doing it! Brett and I are WAY excited to journey into this next part of our lives. Then come December we'll have a little one to join us! I CAN'T WAIT to find out if our junior life journey partner will be a girl or boy so we can start decorating its bedroom! 16 more days!!!!!!!!

Thank you Lord for always taking care of Brett and I!
