feeling the baby kicks

On the 16th Aaron was FINALLY able to feel the baby kick. I think its made it seem a lot more real to him since he can now feel it. He had been the only one so far to feel it kick, until thanksgiving day. I really wanted Rachael to be able to feel it cause she doesnt have much time to visit down here. So after lots of patience, the baby kicked really hard. Rachael said it was cool. My mom hasnt been able to yet. I think he gets really stubborn and wont kick when he feels someones hand on my belly. He kicks quite a bit now and it always makes me smile, its amazing.
Monday i go in for the gestational diabetes test. hopefully i wont have it. i will just starve if i do, im such a picky eater. my mom says she had it with me and just changed her diet for the health of the baby. HOPEFULLY i wont even have to worry about it.

new ultrasound picture

today aaron and i went to the houston dr appointment. we had to make sure that everything was normal with the heart, since i had a brother who died as a baby. everythings good with our little son. the dr was so nice over there! i had decided that i didnt want a 4d ultrasound. well this dr suprised by us flipping from a regular ultrasound to the 4d picture. it was neat, although the baby did look like an alien. so heres the coolest picture i have yet to see of our baby boy:

this weekend

baby shopping is so much fun!! aaron and i went friday night and we both picked out a baby outfit for our son. then yesterday i went to do more shopping. if you have never been to texas kid company---u should go and look at all the cute things they have. i found a UT newborn cap and UT pacifires. when i was at the cash register, their computer system froze up. i was only there for 5 min but the owner told me to just not worry about. a little confused, i asked if i needed to sign for it. she said no that it was on them. so i got a $20 purchase for free!! i will totally go back and buy more. and i also got some more really cute baby outfits from another store.

yesterday i was also able to go out to my parents house and play with tye and kenadie before they left for Austin. I have missed those kids so much. they always make me smile. i miss hearing tye say "lu-lu come play! come chase me!"i wish they still lived close by so that i would be able to see them every week.

today was frustrating. i cant stand it when people critize a marriage. my husband was told today that the person felt sorry for him since he "married a kid" and that we "will never last!" i dont understand why people critize my age. yes i might only be 19, but im perfectly happily married. Anybody can look at us and tell that we love each other, are best friends, and encourage and help each other fulfill our potential. i love being a wife and even being able to cook every evening. i also hate it when a person completly ignores me for 2 whole hours, for no reason at all. also i had brought the new baby stuff over and that person didnt even care at all!!! at least they could have pretended to be interested. the only thing i can say is that it will be a long time before i go back to that house. I guess thats why i have my husband and MY family which are the most 2 important things in my life. i dont know what i would do without aaron, my parents, or my brothers and sisters. I love them so much. They have done so much for me.

ITS A BOY!!!

boy or girl?

On Wednesday, Nov 5 (this wednesday coming up) we get to find out what we are having. I think im having a boy just because of how much fun i think it would be to have a girl and i have terrbile luck! i will be happy either way. also we have a girls name picked out but cant agree on anything for a boy. the name i like aaron says is girly and since my brothers and dad always have to agree with aaron they say it is too. they are the only ones who dont like it. everyone else in my family loves the name. so wednesday also might begin the battle of the names.
