12 Weeks!

Well, I'm nearing the end of the first trimester. I've heard that the tiredness goes away some, and I'm looking forward to that. I calculated that I was only awake for 10 hours total last Saturday! Poor Kyle . . . I leave him up watching a lot of movies by himself these days. Although, he's been great about it! He just covers me up with a blanket and wakes me up to move from the couch to the bed when he's going to bed . . . at our usual bedtime (sometimes 3 or 4 hours after I fell asleep). :) Anyway, I can't really complain because that has been my main symptom. I've had no morning sickness and I haven't really even been nauseous at all. In fact, I was very relieved to go to the doctor last Thursday and hear the heartbeat. It blows me away that there is a heart beating in my body that doesn't belong to me! Dr. Hager said that everything looks great! The heart rate was 167 beats per minute which, if you believe in that kind of thing, means it's a girl! I haven't rushed out to buy anything pink yet, but it's kind of a fun fact anyway.

My belly's just starting to pooch out there a little bit. I had a student go home and tell his mom, "Mrs. Sevier's belly is getting bigger. She looks the same everywhere else, but her belly is starting to grow!" I'm still able to wear all of my normal clothes, but I'm thinking it won't be long before I have to do some maternity clothes shopping! I have my next appt. on November 18th and we'll schedule my 20 week appt. then. That means I should know the sex of the baby around mid-December. Can't wait! It will be a perfect Christmas present for me . . . I'll get to start shopping!

I miss my camera!

I'm officially lost. Although I don't post a whole lot of pictures on my blog, I take pictures constantly. I carry my camera and extra batteries in my purse at all times! Yesterday, I was trying to take a picture of our new futon (shown below) to show my mom, and I dropped my camera. I dropped it on the carpet so I didn't think it would do anything to my camera, but I had already pushed the button to turn it on. The lens was on its way out and just stuck there. I had 2 birthday parties last night (Sadie-1 and Jasmine-8), and I didn't get a single pic! Anyway, until I get it fixed I don't know what I'm going to do! We're heading to Stillwater today for Homecoming, and I won't get to take any pictures! Ugh! I hate electronics/technology.

Anyway, on another subject, we're working on getting everything moved out of our treadmill room (I'd call it an exercise room, but that would imply that exercise takes place in there). We're combining it with our extra bedroom. However, we don't really have that many people stay over so we got a new futon and the bed is going on craigslist. I really like it. It's pretty, but functional. It has a storge area underneath, too. There's no such thing as too much storage!

I also ordered the first piece of furniture for the baby's room! I've already chosen the furniture I want whether it's a boy or a girl, so we're going to start purchasing those items now. I got the glider/rocker and ottoman pictured below. It's exactly what I wanted and got good reviews on the website. I'm so excited! Now we just can't wait to find out if we've got a girl or boy coming . . . how do people do it??!!


One last note: OSU plays Missouri today. Go POKES!!

Victory for OSU!

This weekend we traveled to College Station, TX with our Aggie friends, Danny and Toni. Since we've known them we've made it a tradition to go to all of the OSU vs. A&M football games. We stopped in McKinney first to ride the rest of the way with them. They have a camper that we stayed in over the weekend. Besides that fact that it was super cold (down in the high 30s and 40s at night), we had a great time! Of course, OSU winning 36-31 helped out a bit!
