20 Weeks

Wow! We are 1/2 way there until we get to meet Baby Moore:) The 1st 20 weeks have gone so fast! I have officially popped out this week. I am struggling to find outfits in the morning for school. This is definitely a process! My regular jeans must go for now :( I told my students this week that we are having a baby! They were so excited! Of course, they had tons of questions. They were bummed Baby Moore wasn't going to be born this school year....not sure if they wanted to see the baby after it is born, or if they wanted me to be gone for some weeks! :) I told them they would have to come back and see me when they go to 3rd grade and I will have a huge belly. One of my girls said, "Mrs. Moore, I could tell you were pregnant (yea right!) because your belly keeps getting fatter and fatter!" Oh how they are so honest and make you feel great! I had to laugh! 25 more days.........

The garage sale last wekeend was a huge success! We had a great turn out and the weather also cooperated so we could put things out in the driveway. After the garage sale, we began the landscaping process. We (Troy, his dad, and uncle Barry) got all 6 bushes pulled out in about 15 mins. It went so fast! We had enough rain that morning that they ripped right out. That was a huge relief! The house looks much bigger! This week Troy has gotten all the black rock torn out so we are ready to go with the brick this weekend! He worked so hard! I wanted to help but the Dr. said I can't. So I pretty much won't be able to do anything. We have been lucky to have so many friends and family help out. A couple of guys Troy works with are going to come and lay cement and build our front steps next week. Then lastly, after the steps and brick, we are going to put in different bushes and lay rock. It is all coming along!

I will post pictures soon!

19 Weeks

Week 19 already! I can't believe it! Saturday I went to Kristin's, a friend from Central, bachlorette party. We went for supper at Court Avenue Brewery....YUM! The food was great and the company was even better. After this, we all went to Girl's Night the musical. It was very good and had awesome music! They sang I Will Survive, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, I Need a Hero, Raining Men, and other great music! Baby Moore also enjoyed the show, as it was moving like crazy during the music! I loved it! It was fun to see college friends I hadn't seen in awhile! The first picture is of Kristin, Wendy, and I and the second picture is of the whole group.

At the Moore household we are working on landscaping. So on Sunday Troy and I purchased retaining blocks to put in the front of our house. First we have to get the bushes torn out before we can begin the adventure. We want to plant new bushes, put up the blocks, fill in with rock and then replace the front steps. It is a work in progress:) This week we are preparing for the big Conrad City Garage Sales on Saturday. We (I) am busy tagging everything. I will be glad when it is all over:) I hope for a nice day! Have a great week!

18 Weeks

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! It was great seeing family and friends. We went to Iowa Falls to my Uncle Larry and Aunt Charlene's house. There was even an appearance by the Easter Bunny! I'm not sure who enjoyed the Easter Bunny more, adults or kids! It's crazy to think that next year Baby Moore will be able to share in the Easter festivities! We can't wait.

Tomorrow I will be 18 weeks already! I had my monthly checkup last Monday. I was lucky that this fell during my spring break so I didn't have to take more time off. The appointment went very well! The nurse struggled to find the heartbeat at first because Baby Moore is VERY active! I am feeling this more and more. The heartbeat was 150. I informed Dr. Onuigbo that I am getting migraines frequently. He said the only thing I can take is tylenol and that does nothing for me. I am pretty much out of commission for 2 days when I get one. They are totally worth it when Baby Moore comes:)

My mom and I went to the Williamsburg Outlet Mall last weekend. I got more maternity clothes that I need now and for the summer. I found some good deals! It was a successful weekend. I hope everyone has a wonderful week with warmer weather!
