Cambric moving around...ALOT

So last night Troy and I are laying in bed and our little man starts moving like CRAZY!!!! Seriously it looked like there was a stinking alien in my tummy. I could feel him moving A LOT and finally threw back the covers cause I just knew I would be able to see him also rather than just feel him. Troy was looking up something on the computer and I very quietly, as to not scare Cambric & make him stop, told Troy to look at my stomach. Well Troy went "WHOA" but it didn't scare him into stopping. Literally there was about 30 minutes of moving around in my stomach. I didn't know if he was going to ever stop so I could go to sleep. All I could think about was "If I can already see him this much at 24 weeks, Im going to be walking around in a few months and people will just see him moving through my clothes." lol 

Oh and it was very cute how freaked out this made Troy. I mentioned to him last week that the baby plays and holds onto the umbilical cord & ever since then he has probably mentioned it every day. I now wish I wouldn't have told him that cause it scares him more than he thinks it's cool like I do. It was one of the topics we talked about with Dr. Kollar last week at my 24 week appt. She smiled & laughed a lot and then told him that it was perfectly normal. I don't think that eased his mind though! ;) 

Oh and before you think "DANG, why does she have so much hair on her tummy?" that is one of the wonderful things about pregnancy. You get nice short fuzzy hair on your tummy. Ok its not nice. Its just plain annoying! At least my hair is blonde! Whew! 

This is after the first 10 minutes where he was moving the most.....

You may not think that was cool but we sure did! 

Oh and FYI, I was told a long time ago that Cambric was spelled with a "k" at the end (Cambrick). Well yesterday my mom found an old drivers license of my Grandpa's and there is no "k" of course. Before we even got pregnant we knew we wanted to use the name Cambric and we discussed wether to add the "k" or not, and decided on the "k" because I believed that's how my Grandpa's name was spelled. SO of course it through me for a loop yesterday knowing there is no "k"! It may seem silly but I am so use to the "k" now that it is hard for me to write it without it. I like the way it looks better but I just can't get use to writing it this new way. I know I could keep the "k" but Troy said he doesn't want the "k". But I'm just having a hard time with this! lol SO if you plan on getting Camric's name written in stone or on a blanket or whatever, DONT! Cause I just can't decide yet! Its been less than 24 hours. Let me sleep on it some! ;) 

I think I just used the letter "k" way too much! :) 

It's a BOY...Part 2

Ok so I almost forgot all about Part 2. If you have never been pregnant before, let me just tell you something. You get quite dumber during pregnancy. I know people call it pregnancy brain but thats just sugar coating it. I don't remember NOTHING!!!! Like I walk in another room to look for something and before I even get out of the one room I have already forgotten. So on my way home I remembered I needed to write this post tonight and I started thinking back on everything. Oh and I just started CRRRRYYYIIING! Of course now I can't remember what was so good about the story that it made me cry... Dang! Ok well I will try to remember for ya....

So after finding out I was pregnant I was just so ecstatic that thinking about the baby being a boy or girl didn't even cross my mind. All I could think about was "I can't believe the Lord has finally answered my prayers!!!" When people started asking me what I wanted I instinctively in my head just thought "I am just so thankful to be pregnant that I don't care." Well the more people asked me the more I started thinking about what I wanted. I felt horrible even thinking about wanting one gender over another. My heart always leaned towards girl because that is just what I always prayed for. When reading the scripture in Psalm about trusting in the Lord and delighting yourself in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart, I would aways pray for a little girl. I will have to say that one reason I was so determined to have a little girl is because well first they are so stinking cute, but also because everyone talked about imagining Troy and I with all girls and in the Tuttle family there has only been 1 girl born per generation. When I was told that while Troy and I were engaged (there was already the 1 girl born) I remember praying and telling God "Ok I know you don't work that way Lord. I am believing that you will give me the desire of my heart!" Well of course anytime I thought of nurseries or names or anything baby related it was always BOY.

 One day I was driving home on 287 in Midlothian and referred to the baby as a him like I had done quite a bit while praying. I started crying at the thought of having a boy. And then I started crying even more that I was crying about having a boy and I felt so horrible. Then all the sudden this wave of peace just washed over me. I felt like God was saying "Camille! It doesn't matter what this baby is! You will love him or her with everything you have. They will be anointed & do something great in my name." At that moment I just knew I was going to have a boy! ha I don't know why that told me a boy but I can remember just coming home, continuing to feel that peace, and walking straight in the door and laying on the couch listening to worship music. I finally got up off the couch and started googling boy stuff! lol From there on out I hardly even thought about having a girl. I just "knew" this baby was a boy.

About a week before we found out what we were having, Troy was getting ready for bed and asked me what I thought we were going to have. This was only like our 10th conversation on this. haha  When I said boy he said "Well I've been praying for a girl." When I asked him why, cause I knew he really wanted a boy, he said "Because I know how much having a girl means to you and I really want God to give you the desire of your heart." Don't you wish you had a hubby like mine? I mean it just was so sweet! I told him again about my "feeling" of the baby being a boy and that I felt that God had given me a peace about it either way.

When we went to the doctor a week later I got a ultrasound even though I was only 16 weeks pregnant because I was going to a new doctor. WHO I LOVE BY THE WAY!!! LIKE, SERIOUSLY LOVE HER! :) Anyways during the ultrasound I said "He really likes to move. He is so active. Oh I am so sorry, I don't know why but I just keep calling the baby a he." She didn't say anything for about 20 seconds and then she responded with "So what is HIS name going to be?" Troy & I looked at each other and we just kept saying "It's a boy?" And we giggled alot. And then I cried alot. They were very happy tears!!! I couldn't even begin to explain how excited I was. While my doctor finished up my ultrasound, I couldn't help but think back to that day, just a month or so earlier where I felt like God had gave me this peace about having a boy. And then I cried more! :) I would love to blame all the crying on pregnancy hormones but I have actually cried less since becoming pregnant! :/ ha

We had a gender reveal party the next night and had a fun time telling everyone our surprise with cupcakes that had blue icing inside. There are pictures under the "Pictures of Cambrick" link.

What's it gonna Bee? was our theme

Me posting on FB & mom being goofy with the cupcake. 

It's a BOY! Part 1

Ok so hopefully yall have all figured out that our little Cambrick is a boy. So my title should not be any surprising news. I decided to write about it because Troy and I were talking about it just a few minutes ago and I thought you may like to hear about us finding out he was a HE!

So let me start off at telling Troy that I was pregnant.....
Like I said in my post of "Our Story" I went to the doctor and was shocked to find out I was pregnant. I hesitated telling Troy that night cause the doctor had said she would have to run blood test just to make sure so I didn't know if I should wait or just tell him anyways. Well after going back and forth in my head I finally drove very quickly to CVS to grab a pregnancy test (Troy was on his way home) and then hurried home to post something on Troy's computer cause that's the first place he goes when he gets home. Or what he USUALLY does. That night....NOPE, he wanted to watch all my dumb TV shows with me before going in his office to pray & play on computer.

So when he FINALLY went in there I ran & got the pregnancy test and ran back to his office. Of course he was walking out and I thought he saw what I posted on his computer but he just looked at me and said "What." Of course I about peed myself cause Im holding the pregnancy test behind my back. I just said "Uh, I was on your computer earlier and some weird thing popped up." He responds with "Oh man what did you do to my computer?" He walks over and moves the mouse & sees a calendar and my message that says "Make sure your work knows your gonna be late on October 24th. You will be busy seeing your new little boy/girl." He just stared at the screen for a while and then turned around and started crying saying "For real?" I showed him the test and we both just cried. Ok I cried and HE sobbed. I asked what do you think it is and he responded girl, so being different I said boy. And I was right!!!!! He He He

Ok you will have to excuse me....There is MUCH more to this story but I am stinking tired all the sudden and this baby feels shoved up in my ribs and I just want to lay back on my bed. Can you imagine how I'm going to be at 8 & 9 months pregnant. Please Jesus help me!

I will write the rest tomorrow night. So look for Part 2 tomorrow. :)

Oh and here is a picture of Troy holding a picture of our sweet friends Ryan and Lauren's baby Boston. He FREAKED out holding him. Well at first he just said it was ok, he would hold him when he got a little older but Ryan ended up laying him in his arms. When we got in the car he said "What if I would have dropped him Camille?" It was cute...and funny!

I think he looks like a natural! Don't you? :) 

Great Day of Registering

So after yesterday of getting absolutely nothing accomplished and having my first big hormonal breakdown (please lets not talk about that) today was a SUCCESS!!!! Well first of all we started the day off at church and then had a wonderful lunch at PF Changs. If you have never had their Banana Springrolls for dessert then you should try them. NO, you HAVE to try them... I mean doesn't it just look wonderful?

GLORIOUS! 

Ok so after all that we went to Babies R Us and registered! FINALLY! I mean I know I still have 4 months but the moment I found out I was pregnant I wanted to register. I knew that we were going to have fun but I sure didn't realize just how much fun we were gonna have. We laughed so hard I may have just peed a little, but I will neither confirm or deny that part.

Well first off Troy grabbed the gun and took off. Honestly I had very little say so in this whole fiasco! Here is a picture showing just how excited he was....

Lord help me! 

Sooooo Troy has been a little obsessed with the feeding part of this baby. He grabbed just about every spoon and registered for them and he did all the bottles. We love the Tommee Tippee/Closer to Nature brand. So therefore if it had that name on it, it got scanned. So if you think we have an odd amount of one item, you know why. OH and after the bottles we ran into his most favorite thing of all.... BREAST PUMPS. He is quite obsessed with how it all works. He registered for the pads, gels, and so on. And then we saw it. The actual pump. And this is where I lost it and thought if I laughed any harder, Cambrick may fall out. 

If you can't tell he was laughing as hard as I was!

Oh man was that was funny!!!! You can only imagine the talks and questions he has about breast feeding! Oh brother!  Ok so we got many other items but none were as funny as the breast pump. Some others that we registered for were the Britax car seat and stroller, Mamaroo infant seat, and lots and lots of smaller items. LOTS! No baby clothes though. We need everything BUT clothes so I refrained! Oh and one of the other highlights of my day....We ordered Cambrick's crib and it should be here by Thursday!!!! WHOOP! I love the modern, clean lines. It makes me feel clean too! :/ I dunno that made sense in my head!  

Well after 3 hours of registering & then coming home and deleting a few of the items that Troy scanned a million times Im pooped and headed to bed! Hope everyone has a great week! I know I will. The nursery is getting painted on Tuesday! Can I get a WHOOP WHOOP! 

Oh and here is our registry # just in case you wanna look ;) 47973000

22 Weeks!!!

How far along: 22 weeks! Only 18 to go. So exciting!!! And so freaked out at the same time! 

Size of the baby: 8 in suppose to be a whopping pound this week! He is the size of a Spaghetti Squash. Didn't even know what one of these were till like a year ago. One day I shall try one. 

Maternity clothes: Have a few cute tops and one pair of jeans and one pair of dress pants. I've been able to stay in my regular pants as long as I wear my bella band or use a rubber band. OK I admit, a lot of times I leave my pants unbuttoned and zipper down. Thank goodness I have tons of long shirts! :) My friend Lauren let me borrow some spring/summer maternity clothes & didn't think I would be able to wear them for another month or so but this weather is crazy and its pretty stinking warm outside! 

Gender: BOY!!!! Cambrick (still cant decide on a middle name) Tuttle

Sleeping: Pretty good. I want to sleep on my tummy oh so bad though!!! 

What I miss: This week I really miss sushi! And being able to lick the spoon when I make cookies! :( 

Symptoms: Not too much of anything. Well nothing you want to hear about. OK OK I'm just gonna say it. Why did no one tell me about the lovely "not being able to use the restroom" symptom. I would really love to write a post about ALL the things women fail to tell first time mom's when they get pregnant. My mother would not approve though. But you may just be seeing that one day soon. I just gotta make sure men aren't reading this blog! ;) Oh and I guess you could say another symptom is KICKING!!! This little man LOVES to move around! All I have to do is lay down or eat and he goes crazy. Yep, just like momma. Loves laying down and food! 

Cravings: RAW COOKIE DOUGH!!!! Specifically Oatmeal raisin!!!! Oh and even though I don't like chocolate, I would like to make some brownies and before pouring them in the pan, drinking a nice glass of the mix! Doesn't that sound good! Don't lie! You know it does! 

Best Moment: Nothing's really sticking in my head for this past week but my mom and mother-in-law did talk to me about Shower dates. That got me all excited!!! I think we are going to register this weekend. Some things at Target but for the most part at Babies R Us. I will let you know how that goes. If it's anything like when Troy & I registered for our wedding, we will get a little gun happy!
