The Crib

Every morning I walk by our babies room and turn the light on and vision what our nursery will look like someday with our baby in there. I'm not sure everyone will understand this but putting the crib together helps me get rid of some fears. I now see that someday somehow there will be a baby in that crib. This morning was the first morning that I walked by the nursery and turned the light on and saw our crib. My vision is now becoming a reality, and we are so excited about what's to come.













As you can see Bella wanted to be apart of everything too. Next on the list a matress and baby bedding. Our dresser and chair should be in within the next 3 weeks. I will post pictures after they arrive.

Easter & 14 weeks

We had a great Easter! Corey and I went to church with my parents. Afterwards we went and picked up our baby girl Bella to come to family lunch at my parents house. Bella got to play with Remi in the back yard all afternoon. I made cupcakes for Hayden and Eian to decorate and then we had lunch. Us girl hid 110 eggs in the backyard for Hayden and Eian to find. I have to say they found them all in about 30 minuets. I don't have any picture of them right now, but when I get them I'll post some.

Here is my belly picture from Easter morning. I am amazed at how big my belly is getting so quickly.

More Baby Pictures

Corey and his sister Chrissy and me and my brother Jacob



1st Birthday's for Corey and me



Look at the blonde hair on both of us!! I think I was a chunk untill I got taller.

I posted pictures because lately I have been wondering whom our baby would look like. Only 5 more weeks and we get to find out the if it's a boy or girl.

Baby Pictures

Corey Bret Bolding, 6 lbs. 4 oz., 19 inches long
I think corey came out of the womb smiling. Isn't he just so cute!


Amanda Erin Richey, 8 lbs. 9 oz., 21 1/2 inches long

Corey and I were both born with blonde hair and blue eyes and now have brown hair and green eyes. So I'm wondering what are the chances of our baby having blonde hair and blue eyes to start out with?

I will post more pictures later, Blogger is giving me a hard time of posting pictures.

Doctor's Appointment & First Belly Picture

Week 12
We had a doctor's appointment yesturday to hear Little Bold's heart beat. Dr. B said everything seems normal and Little Bold's heart beat was at 160. The only thing Dr. B said that I need to be aware of is my blood type is A- so I will have to get a shot come 28 weeks. There is only a slight risk if Little Bold has positive blood or any type, but nothing that can't be fixed. It's pretty sad that after almost 28 years of life I'm just now finding out my blood type.

In other news I have taken my first belly picture. Sorry for not giving a full smile, out of the pictures we took this happens to be the best one of my belly and that's what people are looking at anyways, right?



My mom was also in town and took me and baby shopping! Shopping for Little Bold will be so much easier once we know if it's a boy or girl. Just 6 more weeks and we will know.

11 Weeks

We are now at 11 weeks, so what does that mean. On a good note our baby's vital organs are now formed and functioning. Little-Bold is also now the size of a lime. On another note, I'm still nausea, have headaches, and can't sleep. I'm am so ready to be past week 13 in hopes that the 2nd trimester is better.

A few things people don't tell you about your first trimester, at least for me:
1. You can go from being angry one second to crying the next. (Husbands need to be warned about this)
2. You can learn to control your emotions but probably not until you lash out at your husband at least once.
3. You're hungry but not a darn thing sounds good.
4. Food that does sound good doesn't always meet your expectations.
5. You will have some doubts about whether there is still a baby in your tummy, but remember there is nothing you can do to change the situation and God is in control.
6. If you are like me and don't like water, being pregnant won't change that, you just have to learn that you need it and Crystal Light can be your best friend.
7. You might not sleep like a baby anymore and that mattress that you once thought was comfortable, isn't so much anymore.
8. This might be TMI, but it is possible for you to have more gas than your husband.

This all might sound like I'm complaining but I'm not, they are just things I was unaware of. I'm very thankful for the gift God has given us. We are so excited! We just can't help ourselves but to go into a baby store at least once a week just to look, Corey does let me buy one thing every time we go to a baby store!

First Ultrasound - 8 Weeks

On Tuesday February 23rd we got to see our baby for the first time. Dr. Barki doesn't normally do ultrasounds this early, but we were anxious to see if there was one or two babies in there. Well there is just one.
You can see Little-Bold's head on the right. We also got to hear the heartbeat which just made me smile bigger. Corey was grinning from ear to ear from the moment we got into the ultrasound room until he went to sleep that night. We were so excited that we even went and bought our crib after having lunch together. We had already gone and picked out the crib we wanted right after we found out we were expecting, what can I say we're planners. I know it's crazy, right? If I think the negative thoughts of "we still have a chance of a miscarriage" I get down and upset and that's not healthy for me or the baby, so we are trying to look forward for what's to come. That's not to say I'm not going to have times out doubt whether there is still a baby, because I will. But I have a husband that keeps me positive and makes me smile, and I have a God that will protect me.
