21 Weeks

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day!! Joe and I had a great day. I made a yummy dinner, Joe made a delicious dessert, and we watched a movie. Joe got me a gift certificate to a spa so I could go and get a massage. Surprisingly, when I called the spa they had an opening yesterday....on Valentines Day!! The massage was awesome! It definitely helped relieve some of my back pain for right now. I have such an amazing husband!!
I have been enjoying my water aerobics classes. Who knew I could get such an intense workout in the water?? It is so fun to hang with other mothers to be. All of the other women in the classes are a bit further along than me so they are super helpful with giving me advise on preparing for the next phases of my pregnancy.
This weekend we are off to Georgia. Friday and Saturday we will hang with friends and family in the Perry area and then Sunday we will head up to Atlanta check out areas we may be interested in living in. We get to visit with Aunt Barbara and Uncle Roger while we are up there!! Fun, Fun! Then, Monday we have an appointment with an Obgyn at Emory. Hopefully that will be the doctor that will deliver our little boy!

19 Weeks

Well, we are now a two car family! Joe and I came home with a 2011 Camry on Monday. It only has 32,000 miles on it and we got a great deal!! It is the perfect family car for our fast approaching new life in Atlanta.

I am becoming more noticeably pregnant and pretty much wearing only maternity pants, skirts, and dresses. Fortunately Florida has skipped winter (high 70s low 80s) so it has been nice to be comfy in my dresses and skirts.
I have been feeling well this week with the exception of some low back pain. It has been quite the adjustment to not sleep on my back or stomach. Therefore, a night of good sleep hasn't happened in several days. I have slowed down on jogging, have been stretching a lot, and I joined a new gym. My new gym is great! It has an indoor pool and tons of classes. I plan on attending two mother-to-be water aerobics classes and two yoga (or spin) classes a week. Hopefully this will help with the back pain I am currently having. Apparently these classes could also aid in a smoother delivery of baby Nocera and recovery after.
Joe suggested that I get a massage soon to alleviate some back pressure...uuuummm.....YES please!

This weekend is another laid back weekend. We'll just be hanging out with our Gainesville buds. We only have a few more months of living in the same town with some of our closest friends so we are hanging out as much as possible. Makes us kind of sad to think about leaving all these guys. We feel so blessed to have made some life long friends in the years we have been here.

Following the weekend, on Tuesday, we get the fun news!!!



We will let everyone know as soon as we know!!
