17 weeks...His arm/hand up by his face

17 weeks along...Jack's Cute little face!



It's getting a lot more roomy in there for him! He wasn't dancing and moving around as usual, because he's filling up all the space!

It's a..................

BOY!!!!!


I thought I'd use blue text in celebration! We have our little Jack Dario St. John on the way =-). We could not be more happy, excited, or thrilled! We go in a few more weeks for the anatomy scan to make sure all the measurements are off to a good start. I'll be posting some pictures up as soon as I can of the baby at 17 weeks (today). I'm not starting to show just yet that everyone will be able to tell, but it's getting there! Hopefully I'll pop in the next few weeks here (my ab muscles are definitely feeling it from the growing the past week, so I know it should be soon that I start showing!) For now I just make sure I stick it out and rub my belly in public, so people know I don't just have a chubby gut!

Love you all, hope you have a great day!

Kind of a bad picture taken from my phone - sorry!

But look how cute =-D

Need to Update!

SO! We had our 13 week appointment on May 20th, and it was amazing! Grandma Toni, Grandma Joyce, and my mom got to come along w/ DJ and I, and it was so fun. I loved having them all there. We heard the heartbeat, and got to see the baby moving around in there - it was so crazy! He/She was dancing all around! Such a cute baby =-). We had the doc look for the gender just for fun. They can't really tell us for sure that early, but I've heard that if it's a boy, you can sometimes tell really early on. And sure enough! There was something there, and we're all pretty sure it's a boy! But I guess since it was so early we don't want to be so sure yet. We have our next appointment set up for June 17th which is when we'll find out for sure. I can't wait! Meanwhile, I've been doing a lot of reasearch online for the stuff we want to buy for the baby. I've read up on everything, and I'm pretty happy with my choices for furniture, car seat, stroller etc. It's probably a little to early to create a registry, but we'll be doing it whithin a couple months! We'll be registering and Target. I figure why spend a fortune at another store, when I can find the same item at Target for a ton less? Can't wait to make it, and I can't wait to start decorating the room! I'm always getting ahead of myself.

I've stopped having the morning sickness (which actually only lasted about a few weeks at the most), but now I feel all other kinds of sicknesses! Headaches, exhaustion, and weird stuff like I can't tell if I'm hungry or just sick. My body doesn't crave food, but it's the only thing that'll make me feel better, ah! I hate it. I just am making sure I eat every few hours and stay hydrated. I hate having to work a full time job =-( It really takes it out of me now that I'm pregnant.

But on a happier note, I am counting down the days 'till we get to find out if we're having a boy or girl! And here are the names we picked out...drum roll...For a boy: Jack Dario (Dario after DJ's best friend since Elementary school) For a girl: Camryn Joyce OR Melody Joyce (We all know who Joyce is!)

Well I love you all, and I hope everyone is doing well!
