Big momma

So the past week my belly has REALLY grown! It's like I woke up and grew a few inches on my stomach. A shirt I wore last week is now riding up on my belly. I love that my baby is growing which in turn makes my belly grow.It is still in my head that I shouldn't get big because I was trying so hard to  lose before the baby. It is also hard when I see really little people that are so small even pregnant. lol I know everyone is different and if people want to talk about how big and fat I am then oh well. lol I am having a baby and that is all that matters to me. People are really noticing now too. I had a student who was in my class last year stop and say hello to me today and as soon as I stood up to say hi to her and her mother, she said "Are you pregnant?" lol Thank goodness that I am because I probably would have cried. So here are some pictures from this weekend. This was the first time I have taken pictures so I know ya'll don't have anything to compare to but I was NOT this big I promise. lol

 Only 5 days until we go for an ultrasound. Please say some prayers that baby Seyerle is doing good and cross your fingers that we are able to see if we will be having a baby boy or baby girl. I can't wait!!! Hopefully this week will FLY by! I have been back and forth about a reveal party only because if for some reason the baby is turned or positioned in a way that we can't find out I don't want to have to cancel something with our friends and families. So I guess we have decided on not doing it because I know I won't be able keep a secret for very long. I can't help it. haha 


Gotta go to bed.. 6:30 is gonna come REALLY early for me tomorrow. Back to work I go. :-/

Full of Excitement!

So some exciting news... We have an appointment on August 5th at 3:45 for a free ultrasound at Birth Choice in Jackson. They are training two nurses to do ultrasounds and need women that are 7-20 weeks pregnant. We are hoping to find out the sex that day. That makes me so completely happy because I am dying to know what our sweet baby is. I am ready to be able to name our baby and start on his or her nursery. We are scheduled at Woman's clinic August 9th for a check-up and then August 30th for an ultrasound. I really didn't want to wait until the 30th so it works out perfect. It also makes me happy that we get to see this sweet baby twice in August. 
I have been looking for ideas for the nursery. I found a boy and girl bedding that I really like.  
                                               For a boy:

For a girl:

Oh yea, other great news!!!! We traded the civic in this past weekend and got a 2012 Kia Sorento. I am really liking it and we are definitely ready for a baby with this car. There is plenty of space and it is a safe car. The 2-door civic wasn't something we even considered keeping with a baby on the way. So  many exciting things going on! 

Here is a pic of the sorento. :)

I am so thankful to God for allowing all of these wonderful things to happen in my life. I am blessed with a wonderful husband, family, friends and can't forget this sweet baby growing inside of me. 

Life is wonderful!

A little bit of this, a little bit of that!

Wow, this heat is killer! The one thing that I didn't miss while we were in California for sure! We got back late Saturday night and boy did it feel good to be home and sleep in our own bed. We did enjoy being there and spending time with my Aunt Connie and her boyfriend Nick. Lots of things to do there and it was a lot different than TN. We had a full schedule while were there which did take a toll on me being pregnant. I was very tired and got sick several nights. It didn't stop me though. We went out on Nick's boat several times, had dinner at fancy restaurants, took tours around San Diego and went to the beach. We did a little shopping at this Outlet mall right on the border of Mexico. It was really neat to see how close Mexico was. We actually stayed in Coronado which is an island right outside of San Diego. Super nice place. Everyone walks everywhere or rides bikes. They stay fit with all of the activities they do. Franz and I could barely keep up. We are used to driving every where and it is way too hot to do anything outside in Jackson. lol It was over all a great trip. 


                 Here is a picture from our trip: Franz, me, and Connie 

So onto my pregnancy updates. :)  Still have sickness, headaches, and extreme tiredness. I crave mashed potatoes and gravy all the time. I also crave my usual pasta and I am loving fruit. We go tomorrow for a checkup and hear the baby's heartbeat. I am really excited and hope that everything goes well. Still counting down until we find out if we will be buying blue or pink. I would like to go to the Sneak Peak place but I don't want to spend the extra money when we will find out a few weeks later. Franz said I can wait. :) For some reason I am feeling like it is a girl right now but I have been back and forth. At first, I thought boy and now I think girl. No real reason it is just a feeling. I had a dream while I was in Cali that I was having a girl. I woke up and told Franz and immediately got a text from Franz's sister, Gretchen, that she just had a dream we were having a girl. How weird is that?! Maybe that is why I am thinking that. It is a little strange though. Gretchen had a dream that we were pregnant the night we took our test and hadn't told a soul. Maybe I should believe her dreams. lol I get more and more excited every day and can't wait to be a mommy! 


So, school starts back in a couple weeks and I am getting kind of excited! A little anxious though because I have a lot to get done before I leave for Christmas break. 6+ weeks of lesson plans for my maternity leave and 6 evaluations with my principal. I have great teacher friends who have offered to help me already so I know I can get through this. I have got to get busy on my classroom as well as other things I want to have done. I hope this year is as great as my first year of teaching. I was sooooo lucky to have such a wonderful year. I pray that I have a good group of students again. :)


Well, I am getting off here and will update maybe next week.
