MERRY CHRISTMAS

29 WEEKS

Christmas in Jacksonville

    As you can see, the belly has grown over the Christmas break and Addison is becoming much more active! I go back to the doctor in two weeks for a checkup, but sadly no ultrasound :-(  

   It has been a great break so far with Dick not having to work, so we have been doing a lot of cleaning and organizing around the house since we got back. In the next few weeks we will start putting away the furniture in what will be Addison's room for a while (at least until we move). Her bedding and furniture should be in around the same time, so we have a lot to do!

25 Weeks 3 Days

       The belly sure did grow during the Thanksgiving break, which means that Addison is growing as well! She continues to move around and kick a lot, and you can now see the kicks through my clothes now....it is very strange but very neat! I go back to the doctor this week to have a glucose test done....let's hope everything comes out ok....I would have a hard time staying away from sweets :-)

        We all enjoyed being in Camilla this year for Thanksgiving, where we were able to see all the cousins and how much everyone has grown!! Next year, Addison will be here!

I went for an anatomy check at 21 weeks, and everything looked great! She weighed 14 oz....almost a pound!

Mama and I went back to the the baby store to look at furniture and bedding to make final decisions, but of course I already showed Dick our options and he said he was fine with anything :-) All of the furniture and bedding has been ordered! It should be here by January, so hopefully we will know where we will be living by then so we can start setting up the nursery!

As you might have noticed, I added all of our names to the title of our blog along with baby Cassidy's name....Addison!  Her full name will be Addison Powell Cassidy. The name Addison had been one of our top picks and Powell is my grandmother's (Ethelyn) maiden name and Dick's great grandmother's(Carol's mother) maiden name.

Mama had to take a picture of the first store we went to looking for  baby furniture! :-) It is an adorable store here in Columbus where they have all the furniture you need for a baby room plus bedding! 

16 Weeks and 5 days!

The belly is getting bigger! I swear it popped out over the weekend!

The first picture!!! 

Dick and I were very excited to see if there was anything in there! :-) It didn't look like much, but we did see a flicker where the heart was beating and we got to hear it! Hearing the heart beat made it much more real for me to believe that I was actually pregnant!  

New Addition

A week before we left for our yearly group trip, (this year was Cashiers, NC) we found out that we would be expecting a little one!

5 weeks pregnant
