19 Weeks!

 The bump is finally there!!! :) And Growing!!!

The dogs wanted to be in the picture too!!!

Well this has been a great week! I am feeling pretty good! Not too much to post, but will do a full update on Wednesday after our ultrasound and then a great post on Thursday to let you know if its a boy or girl! Our Gender Reveal Party is on Thursday and we are SO excited!!! Cannot wait to find out what our little bundle of joy is going to be!!!!!!

On another note, I THINK that I felt some movement today! In church :) I have a hard time telling but it felt like 2 little jabs at my gut! HAHA So hopefully it was and it will continue!

See you on Wednesday night after my doctors appointment! Praying for healthy baby Campbell!!!! :)

Have a great week!

16, 17 & 18 Weeks!!!!

 17 Weeks!!


18 Weeks & at the BEACH!


OK! So we all know that I am super behind in posting about this baby! However, I think that we have caught up now! LOL This will consist of weeks 16 through 18 and then I will post tomorrow for 19 weeks since I need to take that picture tonight! I cannot believe how fast time has flown by! In 1 more week, we will know what our little one will be AND I will be halfway through this pregnancy!!! We are starting to get really excited for next week! Aaron swears its a boy and I am undecided only because I have thought both at different times in the pregnancy! I guess we will see! Either way its a 50/50 chance! HA!

My doctor's appointment is on Wednesday next week, but we will not find out the sex until we have our Gender Reveal party with our family on Thursday! I will deff. post pictures and things from that as it should be a lot of fun!!! We can hardly wait to know!!! Then... the shopping will BEGIN!!! I have already eyed a few things that I think I must have!

As far as the nursery, we have a couple of ideas picked out and the furniture is all ordered!!! YAY! That was a huge relief! We also have a mattress ordered and we were given our new stroller/carseat travel system! YAY!!! This was by far Aaron's only request that he like the stroller! And we both love it! Here is a picture of it! We cannot wait to unpack it but for now, we will keep it in the box! We love it because we really wanted a jogger, but we just do not have the storage to keep a jogger and a travel system! Soo here is the next best thing! A travel system that works while they are an infant and then a jogger when they get bigger! YAY!





I think that is about all for now! I will post the 19 week post tomorrow! Then OPERATION CLEAN THE CAMPBELL HOUSE OUT starts on Saturday!!! After the BIG baby yardsale of course!

We are starting to clean out and organize! Anyone who knows me, knows that I like to stay organize, however my nesting instinct has hit BIG TIME and we are cleaning house!!!!! I cannot wait! HAHA!

Now for the stats :)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: officially only about +1, but I am thinking that may change next week when I go to the doctor... I am thinking about +2 or 3!

Gender: Only 8 more days til we know! What's YOUR guess? :)

Movement: None yet- at least I don't think... its really hard to tell if its gas or the babe! LOL So I am waiting to confirm...

Sleep: Starting to get uncomfortable... I am a stomach sleeper and so I have had a really hard time adjusting to my side... and I have to get up at least 2-3 times each night. Oh well. Preparing me for being up all the time with baby!

What I miss: Still just an Italian sub and a regular Pepsi! That was my request for my mom that I want at the hospital.

Cravings: Nothing really- just FOOD! I feel like I eat constantly!!! I am always hungry and nothing satisfies me but I try to fill my tummy with healthier foods!

Symptoms: Starting to have a little bit of back pain, but the sciatic nerve problem has gone away! Thankfully! I will deal with the back pain any day over that!

Maternity Clothes: I don't need them really but have been wearing a couple of things because they are just SO much more comfy. I do have a pair of preggo jeans and OMG they are wonderful! No more snaps sticking into your gut.

Best Moment this week: Going away with Aaron to the beach! We had an amazing time. But looking forward to this week flying by so we can know what we are having next week!

Beach Trip!!!

OK! So I apologize for this HUGE delay in blogging! It has been a CrAzY couple of weeks around here! But all is back to normal! Aaron and I went to the Outer Banks on Thursday for a MUCH needed long weekend together- just the 2 of us! It was so much fun and SO relaxing!!!!! We didn't do much of anything but sleep, eat at our favorite restaurants and sit on the beach! The beach was crazy though! Because of all of the storms recently, the beach was very different then it had ever been other times we went. There was an awful undertow and the waves were 8 to 10 feet tall!!! The surfers were loving it though! We really enjoyed watching them ride the waves. :)

Friday night we were to Captain's George's Seafood because we had always heard how good it was. We were not impressed! It was okay, but not worth the money! So the next night, we went to my favorite, Barefoot Bernies! Its a Caribbean tropical kinda restaurant and it was as good as ever!!!! They have the BEST Maryland Hot Crab Dip!!! Yummmmmyyyy!!!

Other then that, we just hung out on the beach each day! It was so relaxing and a great mini vacation! Now we are ready for the Fall and all things BaBy!!!

I have all of my pictures of the bump to upload tonight and will do a catch-up Baby post tomorrow!

But for now, here are some pictures that we took at the beach.

See you tomorrow!

 This is the beach house that we stayed in! BEACH BOX :)


 I wish that I could have captured a picture to show you how tall the waves were!!!


The Sunset over the Sound was beautiful on Friday night!
