Carter Jackson is his name and kicking is his game ;)

Just a quick update...
Im at 25 weeks and 4 days along.  Just 3.5 months left or 14 weeks.. seems shorter when you say it in weeks :)  Our last appointment went really well. I passed my glucose test and my vitals and measurements were great!  His heart rate was 144, which is perfect!
   He is moving ALL the time! I get such a happy feeling when I feel him move and squirm. Chris got to experience him kicking for the first time the other day. His face lit up! We get a kick out of placing things on my tummy and watching him kick them off. I have been feeling great! The only complaint is the occasional heart burn.
    I finished resigstering this past week. I am registered at Target and BabysRus. Im looking forward to getting the Nursery started. Carter already has a closet full of stuff thanks to the many people who already love him! I dont know what I would do without such great friends and family and all of their support. Thank you all!  We also got a great deal on his car seat and stroller and I found a fantastic deal on a breast pump!   Things are really starting to come together! Im just looking forward to meeting him!
 Here are a few new pictures.

And His name is Carter...

 Today I am 23 weeks and 2 days pregnant!  Alot has happened in the past weeks since I last wrote. We had our 20 week appointment on the 21st of last month. We had our anatomy scan, which is just an extra long ultra sound where the tech takes measurements of the baby and she makes sure that he is growing properly and has ALL his parts.  Chris was there and we were both so excited to see him! It was really amazing when we got to see him in 3D!

We made is name official. Carter Jace Jackson.  Carter is Chris middle name and his grandfathers name. Chris adored his grandfather and has always wanted to name his first son Carter.  It just so happens that I have ALWAYS loved that name! I was going to upload the video of our ultrasound, but it will not upload :(   I guess yall will have to settle on some pictures instead.

                                                              MOMMY AND CARTER!

My next appointment is the 17th of this month. At this appt I will have my glucose test to make sure I do not have gestational diabetes.  Wish us luck! I will let yall know how that works out.

Chris and I also had our last baby free vacation. It was nice to get away to the beach and relax for a bit!  We are slowly working on the nursery.  Carter already has a full closet of clothes, thanks to all my wonderful friends and family! We are so blessed to have so many people love him already. His room is almost cleaned out! Just need some extra man power to get the heavy stuff out since I cant help lift.  I will post pictures as they come!  Love all of yall and thanks for checking in...

 Promise to not let it be another month before I post a new blog!
