So today would be the day that I would update you on the pregnancy since we are now at 24 weeks. Well there really isn't anything new and exciting. Since I am leaving tomorrow for vacation I have also decided to not blog until I get back home. I promise that I will make up for the lack of blogs in December with some exiting stuff in January!
I hope everyone has a great Christmas & New Year and hopefully I will see some of you when I get to WI!

23 Weeks
The Scoop:
Weeks Pregnant ~ 23 weeks, Day 1
Size of Baby ~ 11.5 in, size of a large mango
Baby's Weight ~ 1.1 lbs. according to my app but again last week the baby weighed 1.5 lbs. so I am not even sure why I bother with this section
My Weight ~ umm....I actually haven't weighed my self lately so I am guessing I gained another pound but who knows
What's New ~ I now have experienced awful heartburn, I mean almost in tears awful! So here is to hoping that my new best friend Tums saves the day. Apparently there is an old wives tale that if you suffer from heartburn your baby will have lots of hair...I checked the last ultrasound pictures and couldn't really tell if there was hair or not but maybe the next one will show us.
Purchased Items ~ Still going strong and not buying anymore baby things!
Again sorry there is no bump pic this week

Thanks!!
Well Nicki has been gone for almost a week now. I really do miss her cooking for me! But soon enough I will be on vacation in WI for the holidays and then the Man will be home.
When Nicki decided to come and live with me for 4 months I wanted to make sure she actually got to do some cool/fun shit. So now that she is gone I thought I would recap some of the notable things that we did.
August:
- Motley Crue & Poison concert
- She got to meet the baby for the first time
September:
- Went to Las Vegas for a night
October:
- Watched the Blue Angels at the airshow on base
- Dad came to visit
- Went to Yosemite National Park
- Went to Monterey Bay & the Monterey Bay Aquarium
- Saw the Fresno Philharmonic Orchestra perform the Wizard of Oz
November:
- Went to San Diego for the weekend
- Got to experience 2 hours of stand-still traffic on our way to San Diego
- We found out the sex of the baby
- Had our first Black Friday shopping experience
Overall I think we did a lot of fun things. So I have to say thanks to Nicki for only taking 1 college class this semester so I wouldn't have to live by myself for so long.

22 Weeks!
I am sorry to say but there won't be a bump pic this week or next week, my photographer left!
The Scoop:
Weeks Pregnant ~ 22 weeks, Day 3
Size of Baby ~ 11 in, about the size of spaghetti squash
Baby's Weight ~ well for this week my app tells me 1 lb. but when I had an ultrasound on Monday they informed me that the baby weighed 1.5 lbs.
My Weight ~ I have gained 1 lb. since last week, which puts us at a total weight gain of 16 lbs.
Whats New ~ There really isn't much new. My belly is getting larger and a few random people not strangers but random people have touched the belly. I also think my caramel addiction is no longer present, junk food in general will make me happy now!
Purchased Items ~ The stroller & car seat combo that I had my heart set on was on sale, so I bought it. Then my Dad informed me that he wanted to buy that for me for Christmas. So technically I have not purchased anything new for the baby...I am very proud of this since there are so many fun, cute things out there.

Round Two: 4D
Today I had another ultrasound appointment to check the growth of the baby. Everything is looking good with the baby and he is still a boy my other OB told me last week that he still thought I was having a girl, we were a little nervous! Just like the last 4D ultrasound baby Jackson is weighing in on the bigger side...he now weighs 1.5 lbs. the norm for where I am in pregnancy is around 12.6 oz. Jackson was really having no part in letting us see his face but the tech managed to get part of his face. So enjoy the more human-like and less alien-like pictures :)
One of the few times he turned his head
Not having any part of showing us his face, just the back of his head and arm
He was showing his face and decided he had enough pictures and covered his head with his hand

Week 21!
So week 20 totally got away from me and I didn't take a bump pic...sorry!
The Scoop:
Weeks Pregnant ~ 21 weeks, Day 2
Size of Baby ~ 10.5 in or the size of a banana
Baby's Weight ~ 12.7 oz. again probably not accurate but we will find out for sure next week at the OB appt.
My Weight ~ So I decided to add this section, not really sure why. 1st Trimester: gained 5 lbs. 2nd Trimester: so far I have gained 10 lbs.
What's New ~ I have figured out that Jackson loves to move and kick me when I am relaxing and trying to get ready for bed. Love feeling him move and kick more, not always as excited about the timing of when he likes to kick me in the bladder. Also for the first time I have looked in the mirror and wondered where the heck did those hips and badonkadonk come from yep thats right I am pretty sure I went to bed with a nice sized butt and woke up with J-Lo's!
Purchased Items ~ I am super excited to add this area since it is now after 20 weeks and I can buy cute baby items!! I was lucky that 20 weeks came around Black Friday because I scored some great deals at the Carter's website and I got our high chair from Babies R Us for half price! Now to try and stop buying EVERY cute baby item I see. To help with this I decided to create a couple baby registries, even though I won't be having a baby shower, it allows me to baby window shop and secretly hope those things end up in my house :)

Bump Pic ~
I really wanted to wear jeans in my bump pic, since every one is in leggings but it didn't happen because my new sweater came in the mail and the want to wear it trumped the want to have a picture with jeans!

Here it is
Now that we are officially at 20 weeks I thought I would unveil our baby boy's name.
In case you forgot you can read about all the name options in the Explanation of Names post
While Josiah and I were Skyping we decided to talk about the 2 boy names we were thinking about. We both were hoping we would decide on 1 name but we were both ok with not being able to decide until the baby was born. Well it took us a whopping 2 minutes to agree on a name. We both love the name, the reason behind the name and the potential nicknames.
Our baby boy's name is Jackson Henry
