BaBy BuRkE (LonDyn AnN) 21 wEeKs

How far along: 21 Weeks and 2 days

Symptoms: only had one day this past week where I was very naucious. I can actually feel my belly getting bigger and bigger and I have the hicups all the time.

Sleep: I sleep very well through out the night, I do wake up through out the night and have crazy cravings mostly sugar cravings.

Food Cravings::Jamba juice,but most of all FRUIT FRUIT FRUIT, especially my mom's canned peaches.

this week I have been craving turkey and mustard sandwich's but my biggest 

craving is fruit I can not 

get enough of it.

.  Best Moment: Londyns kicks are so strong now that Greg can feel them. He felt her little kicks for the first time and he was so  excited first words out of his mouth were "wow she's strong" ha ha I will cherish that moment forever

Movement: She is constantly moving !!!however ,our doctor told us that the placenta is in the front so we wont feel her kick as much but I think  we have a little ballerina/gymnast on our hands.

Labor Signs:Hopefully none until after week 38 at least.

Gender: Baby Burke is a GIRL!! we knew it all along and we are so so excited. We have been hoping the baby would be a girl and we both just are so happy. I can't wait for all the fun that comes with having a girl such as   painting  her nails,doing her hair,dressing her up and so much more.I love love love shopping for her , she already has more shoes than her daddy and She already has daddy wrapped around her little finger.

Belly button innie or outie:Innie

What I miss:I miss going up and down the stairs and not feeling like I just ran a marathon. ha ha I am so worn out after just going down the stairs

What I am looking forward to:I  am so excited just to finally meet her and hold her in my arms. She is going to be so beautiful

Milestones: baby girls eyebrown and eye lashes are filling in.

Baby Purchase: the only thing I bought this past week was baby bloomers I am obsessed with them

Weekly Wisdom; Do not go out and buy a whole new wardrobe for pregnancy. I stressed about this thinking as soon as I started getting big that I needed to go shopping for bigger clothes. I WAS WRONG.Peopl ask me where I shop for my maternity clothes and I tell them the same places I shopped before I was pregnant Bohme,Nordstroms ,etc I still fit in to everything I have and when I do buy clothes I get the same things I would wear if I was not pregnant but than again I don't wear skin tight revealing clothes I don't really think anybody does anymore . Save your money and use it for your babies wardrobe instead

Swelling:Nope!

Stretch Marks: Nope and I am so thankful for that and hope I don't get them. My mom hardly got them and I don't think my sisters did either so I am keeping my fingers crossed  but if I do get them down the road it wont be the worse thing. My baby girl is totally worth it

Pregnancy PerkI I am in love with my baby girl and love seeing how in love her daddy is with her too. I love feeling her kick. I also love dressing my bump . I personally like the way pregnant woman look , I think it is when a woman is most beautiful and my husband still thinks I am sexy if not sexier :) I have a hard time believing  that one ha ha

Embarrassing moment: in church yesterday as Greg was teaching our sunbeams I was sitting listening and before I knew it Greg was like "honey wake up wake up" I had totally dozed off. I have been so tired

Best Moment this week we had our target ultra sound and our baby is healthy,strong and beautiful . She looks just like her daddy ,same side profile and all.

Pregnancy PerkI I am in love with my baby girl and love seeing how in love her daddy is with her too. I love feeling her kick. I also love dressing my bump everybody warned me that it would be hard to dress once I got pregnant but I still fit perfectly in to my jeans and I have not bought one thing that's just for pregnancy. I still just buy the same clothes I would wear if I wasn't pregnant.

Embarrassing moment: we were at the movie theatre and I downed 3 pickles in the first 45 min of the movie. Everybody looked at me like I was  some poor girl who had never had food before.

she is so beautiful

our baby purchases of the week

OuR pICs AnNouNCiNG oUr LiTtE pRinCeSs LonDyN Ann

We have been waiting for our little princess for so long and we have always said that when the time comes that we finally get pregnant we were going to go all out to celebrate our little miracle. So I found an awesome photographer her name is Kristina Curtis and she is so fun to work with. We took the pics to announce we are having a little girl and her name will be Londyn Ann Burke. I am only 20 weeks in these pics so u can kind of see a little bump. The day we took them it was so cold and windy so my hair got messed up and I was really worried how the pictures would turn out but these pictures were not about me they are about our little miracle and Kristina did such an awesome job . We love these pictures and can not wait to work with Kristina on my maternity's and newborns .

One of the first pair of  bloomers we got for Londyn

One of the many perks of having a baby girl is all the cute headbands,hair bows,shoes,tutu's,clothes, etc . When Greg and I were guessing what gender our baby would be we both knew we would have a girl. We both are very happy & excited to have our little princess and  let's be real here shopping for baby girl stuff  is a lot more fun than shopping for baby boy stuff  I know that sounds so mean and I don't mean to offend anybody or piss anybody off . Don't get me wrong I love shopping for little boys I have four nephews and there is cute stuff out there but let's be honest there is tons more stuff for girls and that brings me to the subject of my post. When we found out FOR SURE we are having a girl the first thing I wanted to do leaving the doctors office was run to the  nearest baby gap and to every cute little boutique in sight to start my  baby girls wardrobe and let's face it any child of mine weather the baby is a he or she will have a huge wardrobe. Shopping is just my thing I have actually had friends ask me to be their personal shopper and when I was growing up my little sister who's 16 months younger than me always asked me to pick her out outfits to wear, as soon as my brother got home from his mission he took me to gateway with him and asked me to pick him out stuff. It is just something I love to do and I don't mean to sound conceded but my wardrobe isn't to shabby! Now that there will be a little mini me running around I am afraid Greg is worried he will be one broke daddy. I have already gotten rompers in every color along with matching leggings and bows, she already has more pairs of shoes than Greg and she has every tu tu I can get my hands on. Greg surprisingly isn't freaking out though like I thought he would but maybe that's because he just got a huge 12 dollar raise at work and he finally makes what he deserves and now making tons of money   that financially puts us in a really good place to start our family and move in to our new home in May that we have been waiting to move in to  for a couple months. I use to feel really bad because I didn't work for a long time and Greg worked his butt off to support us while I went to school and I have always had a really hard time with it I didn't like that he was the only one working and paying the bills. So I finished school and got a a job doing hair and also in marketing where I am making really good money. It feels great to be helping out Greg and doing something with my day, I have to keep busy  I can not handle boredom. However, because of Greg's Job  and how much he is making now he told me he wants me to be a stay at home mommy and that we can afford that lifestyle. This isn't something new, Greg & I decided this was the plan when we were dating. We both agree that it is best for me to be home with our kids while he works that is just how we want to raise our family but I am not going to give up one of the things I love to do most ...doing hair, I will still do it here and there but I am quiting my marketing job in May or June. So most of my paychecks go towards my wardrobe, decor for the house, and Londyns wardrobe, by me working it just gives us that much more extra money to spend and to save up. It's really hard to save the money though I have never been good at it at all.I just want my little princess to have  the best possible and I am loving every moment of shopping for her and picking out her nursery decor. I love my husband so much and am so thankful for him, he is so dedicated to his job and I have always admired him for it and I am so proud of him for getting this h raise that is a huge blessing to our family. I feel so blessed to have him ,he is so patient and kind and he is going to make such a great daddy.Here are some of the things we have purchased for our little princess

Londyn is a summer baby so we found this cute little swimsuit

k how cute is this? MY FAVORITE
