Shopping Trip

My sweet cousin, Michelle, and her boyfriend, Wes, came into town and we met up for a little baby shopping. Gymboree was having a huge sale so I got a few little things and Michelle bought him some little outfits too--Love her!!! Then, Wes took us to dinner. I feel so loved!! Little Trip/Trey is going to be spoiled...ohhhhh he's going to be so spoiled!

Little man outfit :)

I don't even have to explain why this is the cutest outfit ever. Sorry, I haven't figured how to rotate pictures on here.

Not sure if you can read this one, but it says "Introducing me". Love!





And the little baby balooga 0-3 month onesies!

Sweet Husband

I got home last night and these were sitting on our kitchen table. These are "you're going to be a great mom" flowers. I love him!!

Belly Pic

I just wanted to show what has happened in the past two weeks...the belly. Now, I'm not claiming it's a cute one by any means, but I just cannot believe how I've popped right out there!

It's a BOY!!!

The pee pee!



Profile shot!!



There's a little weenus growing inside of my belly!! He's definitely all boy because I saw the little package before the nurse even told us. Yay!! Little Trip or Trey, I cannot believe it. I'm so happy right now!! The ultrasound went great and everything looks perfect. The technician showed us the brain, heart, ribs, spine, feet, toes, fingers...everything. I drank a small cup of coffee this morning to jump-start the movement and it worked. He was tumbling around, grabbing his toes, checking out his hands, etc. It's amazing how far technology has come! I'm definitely still due Oct. 23rd and the little guy is 7 inches long and weighs about a pound. I thought I wanted a little girl at first, but I think a boy is just perfect. I can't wait to see what he looks like. Michael was the cutest little boy with dark brown curls and olive skin! It could go either way. He could pop out a ginger kid with freckles :)

I hope Michael is ready because I'm about to do some damage to our bank account. Let the shopping commence!

The Fat Kid

The biggest thing that has been happening the past two weeks has been the weight gain. Between the panting after walking 50 feet, eating TWELVE packs of sour patch kids in 8 days, this weird fat pouch on my stomach, and gaining 4 pounds in a week, I'd say I have all the symptoms of an obese kid. I refuse to post pictures of my pregnant belly until it's a cute one. Don't hold your breath. Oh, another thing is if I don't eat every two hours, I'm a big ol' B to be around. Again, sorry Michael.


I tried to be "active" one Saturday afternoon and pick up all the fallen sticks from our back yard. I made it all of twenty minutes before I had to come inside, drink some water, and have a snack. I'm even having dreams about food! Last night I had the ultimate pregnancy dream. I was on a mission to get a BMT sandwich from Subway and find both Edward Cullen and Jason Stackhouse (my sexy vampire crushes). The sandwich was first on the agenda.


I'm so excited to find out the sex in two weeks, I can hardly contain myself. I thought I was having a girl until recently. Either way, I will be excited. I just want it to be healthy. I've been pretty open about the names and think I've finally landed on the girl's name. If it's a boy, he will be Barry Michael Tidwell III (Trip) and if it's a girl she will be Olivia Claire Tidwell. It's going to be balls-t0-the-wall once I find out the sex. There's going to be some serious shopping trips and I finally get to start planning the nursery!! Whoop whoop!
