16 Weeks!

16 weeks and growing!! According to "What to Expect When You're Expecting", Paisley is the size of a turnip and she weighs about 6 oz. It's now extremely difficult to button any pants I own so I have to use the belly band A LOT!!!! 

15 Weeks!

We are now 15 weeks! It's hard to tell in the pictures, but we can really see the baby bump now. It's rounding out and I think I actually look pregnant now, instead of just chubby!! 


This past weekend, I went to my mom and dad's and we shopped like crazy! They pretty much bought out Carter's! Paisley has so many clothes....now I just need the nursery to be done so I can start putting everything away!!! 

14 Weeks!

Check out that belly! We can really see our baby bump now!!! I am now 14 weeks pregnant. We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and he listened to her heartbeat and said it sounded perfect. The nurse also said I haven't gained any weight since 4 weeks ago! Woo hoo! I know I'll gain a mess of weight in the upcoming months so it's nice to know I'm not gaining too much too soon. 


Since we now know we're having a girl, I can't stop thinking about what I want her nursery to look like. I also am tempted to get in the car and go shopping every day! I really want to focus on her nursery before I start buying too many clothes.... I think I have the theme I want in mind. I hope my dad makes time to come over and paint!!! 

It's a GIRL!!!

We are having a little girl!!! We went to the 4D ultrasound yesterday, which was incredible! My parents, sister, best friend and in-laws were in the room with us as well. It was so amazing to see the baby now...we have only had one ultrasound thus far and the baby was a tiny little bean at the time. Now, we can see legs and arms!!! Her little feet were crossed so we couldn't see her "privates". The technician wiggled her around until we finally saw a "V". She told us it's definitely a girl!


We are all so excited...we went shopping immediately afterwards! My parents bought me a designer diaper bag as an early birthday present and we all bought the baby a few outfits. It's still surreal that we actually know the sex.... Now I can get started on her nursery!!!

We can't wait to meet our daughter, Paisley Lynne Claborn! 

Tomorrow is the Day!

Tomorrow we (hopefully) find out the gender of our baby!!! We have an appointment at 2pm in Santa Ana. I am beyond excited...I hope I can sleep tonight!! Can't wait to post in BLUE or PINK tomorrow depending on the outcome!!!! Wish us luck :) 

13 Weeks!

I am now 13 weeks along! I can actually see a little baby bump!!! It's so exciting watching my belly grow. With one exception....
The other day, I was slathering on Palmer's lotion and all of a sudden, I noticed IT. My BELLY BUTTON. I've always had this little slit of a belly button. I have pretty much never seen the inside of it and it's always been one of my favorite body parts. My tiny, little slit of a belly button is now a giant crater!!! I can literally put two fingers in it AND I can see the inside of it! It's HUGE! People have warned me about all sorts of pregnancy things but somehow, everyone forgot to mention the belly button!!!!!!!! 


If it expands any more, I will start selling tickets to view it. 

Lake Mohave/Laughlin Trip

This past Thursday, we headed to Laughlin with Garret's brother, Nelson, and his wife Vicki. Nelson's best friend, Bryan (Coot) was getting married there. We had such a great trip! I was hesitant to go due to the pregnancy but I'm glad I did. We needed a little vacation.


On Friday, we went to Lake Mohave. They had 2 boats so we all piled in and headed to a remote little beach where we camped out all day. The water was PERFECT! It was blazing outside...about 110 degrees so it was nice to swim all day.


The next day, Bryan and his now wife, Dorianne, were married on a cute river boat. She is pregnant as well so it was nice to have another preggo running around with us. Overall, it was a really fun trip!!

Our Nieces' 6th Birthday

This past Thursday was our niece's 6th birthday. Their mom (Vicki), myself, their Auntie Nanie and Auntie Tasha took them to this place their cousin works at called Sharky's. It's a little salon for kids. It was SO cute. They did the girl's hair, makeup and nails. Afterwards, they put boas on and posed for a quick photo session. 


After getting dolled up, we went to Red Robin for lunch. They were so glamorous that everyone was staring at them and they felt like little movie stars. I know they had a great day and I am so glad I got to go with them and watch them get "diva makeovers".


*We love you, Madison and Kaitlyn!*

12 Weeks!

I'm now 12 weeks pregnant and starting the 2nd trimester. The baby is a little over 3 inches and weighs about 1oz. In my pregnancy journal, it says the baby can open and close it's eyes and mouth and that if I push on my belly, it moves in response. Of course, I can't feel any of this yet but I should be able to in about 2 months. Crazy!!! 


Our 4D ultrasound is coming up and we are on the edge of our seat, wondering what the sex is! I still haven't had any morning sickness and since I'm in the 2nd trimester now, I'm pretty sure I won't start getting it now.


I can see a little belly now. It's really hard and my pants are tight now! Guess I need to get some maternity jeans soon...
