32 Weeks

I can hardly believe it, I am 32 weeks along. I know I say this every week, but it really is hard to believe that we are moving along so quickly.
I know I have been terrible at posting pictures during the pregnancy. I was actually about 31 weeks 4 days in this one, but close enough.


Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 32 weeks
Size of baby: 19 inches about 3.9-4 lbs
Maternity Clothes: Mostly all maternity. A few of my pre-pregnancy shirts work. There is no denying that I am pregnant now! I just got another bag of maternity clothes from friends and am SO excited about checking it out. Its like Christmas.
Gender: It’s a BOY!!!!! Cameron Charles Knight
Movement: Sweet boy moves a lot. It almost feels like he is wiggling in my belly. I still feel lots of kicks but I feel somersaults too. His positioning is quite painful right now. Last night I was trying to coax him to get off of my pubic bone. My kind words and rubbing didn’t really help.
Sleep: We have SOO many pillows in the bed; sometimes I can’t even find Adam. I had a bad cold last week, which caused me to sleep more restless. I am also having a lot of pain down the sides of my legs if I lay on them for to long.
Symptoms: Achy back, headaches (again), round ligament pain (belly is growing and it is uncomfortable)
What I miss: Not getting winded walking up the stairs.
Cravings: Chicken salad, chocolate, and grape juice. I have seen a noticeable change in my appetite over the past few days. I can tell Cameron is growing. Some days I can’t seem to get enough to eat and the next day I am nauseated and don’t want anything. Fun times.
Best Moment this week: Making progress in the nursery. Thanks to the help of Adam’s parents we have a few pieces of furniture put together and in the nursery. I LOVE IT!
What I am looking forward to: First baby shower this weekend. Getting his crib put together and bedding on it.

I have found myself thinking a lot lately about how very blessed we are to have the joy of celebrating this new life. I wouldn't say this pregnancy has been fun or easy, but all of the discomfort and yuckiness is worth it to feel this life growing inside of me. Adam and I pray that we can teach Cameron to love the Lord with all his heart and love others with his words and actions. We can't wait to begin this new journey together as parents.

30 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 30 weeks
Size of baby: 18 inches, 3 lbs
Maternity Clothes: Still mixing and matching regular clothes with maternity clothes. Regular shirts and sweaters work as long as they are long.
Gender: It’s a BOY!!!!! Cameron Charles Knight
Movement: Cameron moves a lot. I notice it throughout the day, but most consistently at night when I am still.
Sleep: My wonderful husband got me a human boppy pillow for my birthday. This pillow is AWESOME. I have been sleeping much better since I got this pillow and therefore so has Adam.
Symptoms: Back pain, exhaustion, a few other not so pleasant but personal downers.
What I miss: Feeling good.
Cravings: Chocolate
Best Moment this week: Snow day on Monday and sharing my birthday with sweet baby boy!
What I am looking forward to: We are working in the nursery this weekend. His crib should be here any day. I am so excited about getting things “ready” for him!

Snow Day!!

We had a few inches of snow in Starkville last night and this was the result this morning. Campus was closed so we had a nice day to relax. Enjoy the pictures and War Eagle!! Hopefully Auburn will be National Champions in a few hours!!

Happy Birthday Amy!!

Today is Amy's 29th Birthday. She was younger than me for 9 days but now that time is over. She is such an amazing woman and wife and my life has definitely been blessed with her in it. Amy is also 29 weeks pregnant, and I know that she will be a great mother. Some people are just born to be mothers (mainly females), and Amy is one of them. She loves the Lord and puts Him and her family first in everything she does. She also puts up with all my quirks and obsessions, many of which are related to sports. In addition to being a great wife, Amy is also very gifted in her job as an instructor. I know that she is a great teacher that has touched many lives at Southern Miss, Auburn, and now Mississippi State. I look forward to celebrating her birthday next year with Cameron!!

Looking back on 2010

How often do we stop and reflect on all the Lord has done for us, through us, in us? If you are like me, not enough. The end/beginning of a year is a great time to think back and often be amazed at all that we have been a part of.

2010 was a year of celebration for us and many of our loved ones.

We celebrated Adam's sister Lisa and Patrick's wedding in January.

My brother Ben and Lacey's wedding in July.

Lots of friends welcomed new additions that we were able to love on.

We celebrated Adam's sister Lori's graduation from USM in May and her engagement to James in December.


Adam and I got in our fair share of traveling. a cruise to Belize, Roatan, and Cozumel and trips to Philadelphia, NYC, and Gatlinburg.





We found out this summer that we would be welcoming a new addition in March, and later found out it was a boy!! We have loved dreaming about what our life will be like with Cameron in 2011 and the years to come!


We had a lot of fun with our favorite pup!!


We have much to be thankful for as we begin this new year. While 2010 was full of much celebration it wasn't always an easy year. However, in good time and in bad we saw the hand of the Father.

So as we enter into 2011, we ask that the Lord continue to walk beside us and go before us. May we be good stewards of all that he gives us this year!

4D Ultrasound

As I mentioned in the previous post Adam and I were thrilled to get another glimpse at our our little fella via a 4D ultrasound. It was great. The ultrasound tech spent over an hour with us. At first she was having a hard time getting a good image of his face because he is resting so far down (my bladder and hips can attest to this fact), but after adjusting positions, we had better luck. This was such an amazing experience to see the features of the little tot who is growing inside of me. It is neat to see him move as I feel him move. I am 28 weeks now and Cameron is about 2 lbs 5 oz. He is right on track! Without further ado....here are some pictures of our sweet fella!
