{The Bump + Nursery Goodies}

Here is my bump shot for 20 WEEKS
Looks like my little man is getting bigger! I love having a baby bump and finding cute clothes to show it off ;)

Alrighty now to some FUN baby stuff!!!
Here is a little snap shot of some of the magic that will become Paxton's nursery!

OK Here's a little run down of some of the things I am doing in the nursery (This is my new addiction, since I have been waiting for a room that I could go crazy in and decorate my heart out!)

All the frames and the big P will be modge podged along with the shadow box that I need to figure out something crafty with. Like so:


The barn star you see in the picture above will be transformed into this:

The crochet needles and yarn (I am taking a crochet class with a lady in my ward) will be made into little wonders like these:




The B+W fabric you see is going to become my nursing cover..instead of buying one for $45 I am making them with my mom for like $10 AWESOME!

The little helicopter on top of the football is there to represent an idea I got to use vintage tin helicopter toys and make a sort of mobile and hang it above my chair in the nursery. A little tribute to his helicopter pilot daddy ;) Sorry it's a little hard to picture but when I have the nursery done you will see what I mean. Here's some helicopters on ebay that look like what I want to use:



Of course there will be tributes to baseball by way of Boston Red Sox baseballs and apparel and also some footballs will be added!


If you can't tell from the picture these will be the colors..I would like to add some green in there too if I can find some crib bedding with blue, green and brown I would be in heaven! ;)




AND here are some items not shown that I have yet to get =)
I will buy this once he is here of course but it is the cutest canvas:

I have found the stuff at Roberts to make this I just haven't gotten it yet and of course with Paxton's name instead lol ;)

Here's the crib:

I REALLY want to make one of these and hang it on the door and of course it'll say Julger's Nursery =)


And one last thing for the momma, which is MEEEE!!! Say hello to my love the cutest diaper bag in the world, I literally am drooling!



W O W that was long! And there's even more but I guess I should pace myself lol! Anyways it will be sooooo cute when I'm done and don't worry if it doesn't all fit together in your head because it's amazing once you see what I see!

Ohhhh and sorry I had to add these. My sister gave me all of Emory's clothes and they are just piled in the "nursery" till I can go through them all. Here is Squeaker being a stinker ;)



LOVES!

19 WEEKS


Ok here's my 19 week bump shot and look how cute it is!!! And might I just say that I am so completely madly in LOVE with Paxton already! I can't believe I even wanted a girl, SOOO over that ;) I have totally switched my thinking from making little bows and flowers to cute little hats for him! I can't wait till I get to see my little guy now! Oh AND I started feeling him move this week!!! Not any kicks but the little flutters in my tummy. SO AMAZING. Goodness I am like gushing over with love for him!!

{Drumroll Please}

IT'S A BOY!!!! Introducing our little PAXTON!!


Yes all of you were right lol, I obviously do not have a "mother's intuition". But we are SOOO excited to have him! I know all of you are thinking that I must be sad but I'm not, once I got over the initial shock of having no clue about my child I actually got very excited! ;) And there are cute boy things to I just have to start looking. I always wanted a big brother growing up to protect me so I think it's perfect that I am having a boy first! So bring on the sports and trucks!!

Look at that little face! He'll be a heart breaker for sure ;)


Here's a 18 WEEK photo of the bump (sorry it's not the best I had to take it myself)

17 WEEKS
Do you see it?? It's small but it's coming. YAY!

{Boy or Girl?}

So the big day has been set...March 18th is our (hopefully) lucky day to find out what our little baby is. YAY! So I thought I would put a poll on here for the next couple weeks to see what you guys think we are going to have. Fun I know.

As to what we think we are having the politically correct answer would be this, "We don't care what we get as long as the baby is healthy." BLAH BLAH BLAH! That's a load of crap in my opinion so I guess I'm not politically correct. Sorry. My answer is we want a GIRL like bad! We think it is a girl and we both feel like it is so I hope we are right. I have had a ton of dreams about having the baby and in every one of them it's a little girl. It just doesn't feel right to say boy or even think that way. Every time I picture being a parent, having the baby, or anything else related it's a girl. So I will feel a little devastated and shocked if it's a boy.

That's right I said a little devastated go ahead and judge me if you want, I'm just being honest. But yes if it's a boy I will get used to thinking that way and LOVE him to pieces and be completely happy and in love with him. Sheesh I'm not that horrible of a person. I know no matter what we will get whatever Heavenly Father wants us to have and it will be the right baby for our family and Preston and I will be excited and happy no matter what. I'm not opposed to a boy, don't get me wrong boys are sweet too just look at my nephew Emory he's the sweetest little guy around. It's just that I don't FEEL like it's a boy I feel like it's a girl that's all. So I guess we will live in suspense for the next 2 weeks.

Now go vote on what you think! =)

I posted these pictures on Facebook so I guess I should add them on here too!

12 WEEKS

12 WEEKS - 16 WEEKS

16 WEEKS...Still nothing


We get to find out (if baby is cooperative) what we are having on March 18th yay!! I can hardly wait =)

{Ramblings}

So not much happening here in the Jugler house but thought I would get on here and ramble to you about nothing.:) The most exciting thing is that I am 15 weeks! YAY. Still no bump though, and yes I know it's because it's my first baby (people don't think I know this. Annoying!) But I seriously WANT that bump, all I can think about is all the cute maternity clothes I have spent hours online finding and yet I can't get them because I have nothing there! I think this is one of the great "unjusts" of pregnancy the first would be having to wait EONS to find out the sex of the baby. Don't even get me started on that, that's a whole other post lol. And then of course not looking prego when I am. Ok those are my complaints. I am done now lol.

Hmmm what else? Preston and I are doing good, just trying to wrap our heads around this whole baby thing. Don't think it has really set in yet, it still seems pretty surreal and of course there isn't any visual proof to help that.;) I have spent hours online (too many hours) looking at baby clothing, nurseries, maternity clothes, diaper bags(new obsession), baby advice and mommy blogs, of course all the medical "how your baby is growing" and what to expect websites, and have found tons of things we probably don't need but that I definitely want lol. It's addicting is all I will say.

We already have names picked out. We have since last August, but I am not telling on here till we find out what it is. Because I don't want them stolen (worst nightmare). They are awesome names you should be in suspense =)

I have been feeling very crafty lately, maybe the "nesting" is already starting? I plan on making these awesome stars for our house and some for the nursery once I find out what colors to use.

And plan on selling them along with the frames I make. I have been thinking about starting a esty shop or a website something to sell them on. We'll see.

Maybe it's the crazy hormones but I have been OBSESSING about having long hair lately. I have had short hair for the last 7 years and in fact have never had hair longer then right above my shoulders and have never really wanted long hair. I even loved that I was different then a lot of girls having the short styles. But lately it's all I can picture! I have it all in my head about having this cute little baby bump and this long gorgeous hair. Seriously I've planned outfits with the hair. Sick I know. I am seriously contemplating how to get the money to put extensions in since I have no patience to actually wait for it to grow out. Again we'll see.

But can't you just see it?? Something like Julianne Hough's hair(excuse the weird looking guy, found pic on facebook) but add the bump and look! Gorgeous....just now how to get it???


AHHHH! look how cute! I want SOOOOO bad! Like I seriously would die right now for the bump and the hair. Thinking cap is on....

So I guess I am good at the whole random ramblings. That actually was a longer post then I thought it would be. And now after reading through it I sense that I am slightly pathetic :( Oh well at least I would look awesome with the bump and hair while I was being pathetic Wahahahah.

Ok then, that was fun. We have an appointment on Friday to have all my blood test done. Yay :( We'll keep you posted!

LOVES!

{Baby Update}

The biggest news is that I made it through the first trimester ALIVE!!! I wasn't sure on some of those days. I was lucky and never threw up once! But unlucky in the fatigue area, I have never been so tired in my entire life. There were a couple weeks that I was lucky to shower once during the whole 2 weeks(eww I know), I felt like I had the flu the entire time so I would say that yes I did get sick just never the "morning sickness". I also had a really hard time with food and smells, I would be so ravenously hungry that I would have some serious hunger pains but wouldn't be able to eat because food is disgusting. I ended up losing weight during all that.

I went in to an appointment last week and the Dr. is great and we love him!! He felt something on the right side of my uterus that caused some concern so he had me come in this morning to get an ultrasound to check it out. There were two things he was concerned it was either a fibroid tumor or a separated uterus like my sister had. So we had been nervous the last few days. Turned out that it is just my ovary on my right side that is close to the uterus and that's what the Dr. felt last week!! WHEW!!! We feel so much better now that we know I am healthy and the baby is too! Absolutely nothing to worry about =)

Having that ultrasound today was so incredible, I know all you mommies understand what I can't express. I was crazy to watch this little thing wiggle all around and not feel a thing and think oh my heavens that's inside me!!! Surreal.
We are SO excited to be parents and I can't wait for the bump to show!! Now that I am feeling great it's getting more fun! Preston has been FANTASTIC and took such good care of me while I was lying stinky on the couch! He'll be such a good daddy!!

Here's a little peek at our little one!!
