pants

this baby is already pretty opinionated and seems to be certain of what he wants and when...this can't be good, can it? apparently he doesn't like it much when i wear pants, he just sits and kicks at whatever sits on my waistline...jeans, maternity jeans, leggings, sweats, yoga pants, you know any sort of pants. lucky for me it's sorta warm here now and maternity dresses are super cute.

yesterday i had my 28 week appointment, which went really well. we got to hear his little heartbeat and everything is looking good so far! i had to take the glucose tolerance test while i was there and the drink wasn't bad, but it made me feel really crummy for the rest of the day, i hope that's not a bad sign, but i think i should know what the verdict is by friday (hopefully sooner though).

tomorrow is my very last final for this semester and i'm so ready to be done with it and onto summer. this summer is going to be so crazy and i know that it is going to fly by. i only have one more monthly appointment before i start going every two weeks. eep. annnnd we know people graduating and getting married and fun pictures to take and things to learn about childbirth and people to visit. the one and only part about summer i don't think i'll love is the heat, but our air conditioner is awesome. no new pictures this week, or if i have some i haven't uploaded them...i can't remember.

jonah's mommy

the dishwasher debacle...oh and mother's day too!

mother's day  (and old hair)

what a week it has been, well couple weeks really....yipes. our dishwasher is broken and it has been such a pain. we thought it was going to get fixed today, but it's already 2 o'clock and the fix it man has only been by to look at the counter and say he'll be back sometime today (maybe). boo. at least it's spring time and jacob loves to grill and target sells paper plates.

and a baby bump pic (26w5d)

new hair...hooray!

onto more fun things, like mother's day earlier this week. i wasn't sure if we were going to celebrate that or father's day this year, but we did, and we celebrated in style. jacob had a whole day of fun planned, we stopped at chili's in pittsburg, then we took some pictures outside, then we saw something borrowed at the theater, had mcallister's for dinner and stopped by orange leaf. yum. we didn't eat at orange leaf though, because 1.) the line was out the door and 2.) i had already eaten there 3times in the two days prior. so, i like frozen yogurt. it could be something worse, like bacon, ok, so i love that too. :)

then today, as a mother's day gift to me/it's getting really hot here and it's only may 10, i got a haircut and i got a lot of hair cut. i absolutely love it and am so glad i did it! yay!

i cannot believe i am about to finish my second trimester...it's so crazy, this little guy is going to be here before we know it, and i cannot wait to see his ittybitty face!

jonah is so our baby

so, i thought it would be fun if we put some headphones up to my baby belly to see what little baby jonah likes to listen to. we tried the beatles, vampire weekend, one republic, then some pandora. nothing, not even a little jig from this guy. we finally gave up and i had my evening snack of cookies and milk...the kid started flipping around like never before. i told jacob that this must be his kid...jacob said he definitely  belongs to us. 

we also met our pediatrician this week. we will be seeing dr. teeter in joplin. she is opening her new office later this month and we are so excited to get to know her...because the next time we see her it will be when this little guy makes his arrival. yay!

i am getting so excited to start getting the nursery together, i'm hoping this weekend we can get rooms moved around and maybe even some baby stuff where it goes. (it is starting to take over the living room...yipes.)

blessed

It has been sooooo rainy and yucky here for like a week now, as much as I hate the rain (it means we are stuck inside for the day...again) today I decided to be thankful for the rain but more than the rain to be thankful for other things.

How lucky and blessed we have been with God's timing in our lives over the last year. From work related to relationships, it is so good to see God working. 

Almost six months before we found out we were expecting Jacob finally got full time status at Best Buy and we now have awesome health insurance! 

Also at the beginning of this year I left the daycare and took a job as a nanny for a family that i have known and loved for three years, and i absolutely love it. i mean look at these three...(thier mom blogs too, it's ALWAYS a worthwhile read!)

About 4 weeks before we found out we were pregnant we joined a small group made up of couples our age who have been married as long as we have and it couldn't have been a more perfect time. we love love love these people! 

And in February I got to go to Vegas with one of my very best friends Melodie, (who is an awesome photographer by the way) and it was so very fun. it was a crazy trip (which i should try to document). 

I'm so grateful for the people in our lives that make me smile and love to hunt for bargains early Saturday mornings as much as I do!

As things in our life change drastically I'm constantly reminded of God's grace and provision and how thankful I am for both.

Toodles...I'm off to find a snack! (Shocker, I know:))

i wonder

jacob and i have been doing the five love languages a bible study with our small group. it has been really interesting to learn more about our love languages and how they work to make our marriage better.

it often leaves me wondering what baby jonah's love language will be, what fills his love tank, what will it be that i do that makes him know he is loved. as i lay here in bed and feel him kick around inside my belly i wonder a lot of things, like what will he grow up to be, who's nose will he have, what color will his eyes be, jacob's blue ones or my hazelnut. i just cannot wait to see his sweet little face for the first time. ahhh.

the more of the book we read the more i have evaluated other relationships in my life and how i can make them better. what a challenge it has been, but one i know that i'm growing in christ in. what a blessing.

24 weeks

already? wowza. baby wurster has a name...jonah bryan. and he kicks and wiggles and squirms all the time, i don't think i could ever get tired of this.

cravings: no strange cravings so far, there are cravings, but not so strange. like i could eat (and have) blts from now until forever with a hunk of cheese on the side. also sausage rolls from college station, i should lay off those though, but once i start thinking about how good they are i can't stop til i have one in my belly.

energy: lots of it, most of the time. i feel like i can't sit down for longer than like 10 minutes and if we didn't have dvr, i don't think i could sit through commercials either. my feet don't like this, since my little piggies look like sausages after a long day.

we absolutely love my dr. too! she has been fantastic and i found out yesterday that she will be available for delivery m-f. (if i happen to go into labor on a weekend, i'm just gonna hold it til monday...ok, maybe not, but i love my chances.)

baby jonah is measuring right where he should and we got to hear his little heart beat yesterday for a long time, since he kept kicking the doppler. :) sidenote: i've only gained 5lbs, and am sooo happy to see my healthy choices (for the most part) are paying off, and he is healthy. at my next appt. is my glucose test. blech.

i think that's enough for now, and maybe since this was so fun, i'll update more often....we shall see.

ps. this picture is me at 19 weeks. :)

well we are officially onto the second trimester...yayay!

my second dr.s appt. was earlier this week and we got to see the little peapod again. and he/she has legs...long ones for something the size of a plum.

on a less interesting note...i'm soooooo sick of the snow. i want to be out and about doing things. i don't even care what at this point.
