My 20 week baby belly!


So, like I said before, I wasn't really into doing these types of pictures. But, now I am glad I did. I am going to take more, but I don't know how often I will post for the whole world to see. In this picture I am 20 weeks. I feel huge, but I am loving being pregnant. I have finally gotten over being sick. I stopped with the nausea and emesis around 18 weeks. I am loving feeling this baby move. I often find myself wishing he/she would move more often because I almost miss the movement when he/she is not moving. I am so excited to have this baby, but I want to be pregnant forever. I love this stage, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Again, I am so in love with Eric and this baby. I love knowing we are starting our own little family.

Can you guys believe I am more than half way done being pregnant? It sure is a bitter sweet feeling!


Belated Father's Day!

Eric, I love you with all my heart!
My father in law Bob.

My cute dad!


My wonderful grandpa Rigby. My dad looks just like him.



Sorry, this is the only pic I have of my grandpa Hancey, but isn't he one handsome man?




I have been meaning to write about Father's day, but have been busy.

I just wanted to say I have the most amazing men in my life. I have grand-fathers who are the most wonderful men ever. I am so proud to call them Grandpa. I love them both dearly, I am so proud of the way they raised my mother and my father. They are truly and inspiration to me.
Next my Father. He is the most selfless man you have will ever meet. He is always doing things for other people. Everyone who knows my father loves him. He has taught me so much in my life, the real meaning of hard work. He always made sure I had the knowledge to succeed in life. He also really taught me more than he will ever know, by example. He is truly a God like man. He does not judge people. He showed me at an early age if I work hard, I can attain anything.
Next, My father in law. We do not get to see him too often, but he is truly a blessing in our lives. He is always there for us when we need him and is willing to do anything for his family. He is hilarious and can make anyone laugh, but can be very serious and loving at the same time. He is very intelligent and is skilled in so many different things, (I think Eric gets that from him). I love how he is so passionate about things. We love him so much and wish we lived closer to him.
Last but not least is my wonderful husband. I love him with all of my heart. I am so ecstatic to start our own little family with him. I know he is my soul mate and that God made us for one-another. He enables me to be a better person, and he completes me. He is always helping me to really push myself. He is able to do anything he sets his mind to. He will do anything for his family and friends, and that is a true man in my book. Eric is going to be an amazing parent. He loves to teach others and he is always trying to help out anyone in need.
Thanks all you men! I really do love and appreciate all of you! I am one blessed girl to have all these amazing men in my life.

Pictures of Baby Britt


Today was our 20 week ultrasound. It was the most amazing thing ever. I could have never imagined the feeling that I felt. I am so in love with this baby already. The ultrasound tech was wonderful. She was so great to show us everything, (except for the privates), HAHA. We still are not finding out what we are having, but Eric was sure he was going to find a way to find out. He kept trying to figure it out or have her give us hints. It was amazing to see. Our baby is beautiful already, we can tell. HEHE.


Also this morning, I felt our baby kick so hard that I was able to feel it on the outside of my stomach. That is the first time I have felt it that hard. So he/she kicked three times, really hard. I then woke Eric up to hopefully have him feel it, and he/she didn't kick again. Sad for Eric, but soon I think he will get to feel the movement.


I am so thankful for this opportunity, and I am so grateful for being able to bring a baby into this world. Everyday I think of all the time I am going to be able to spend with this babe, and it makes me tear up. I blame it on the hormones again, but I am really just a big baby at heart.

What was that?

So, some of you might not want to read about this, but I had to post it. Yesterday is going to be a day I remember forever. I was able to feel our baby move. It was the most exciting thing in the entire world. I was lying in bed, trying to sleep in and all of the sudden something felt weird in my lower abdomen. Then it happened again. I put my hand down on my abdomen and I could feel something hard. It was so amazing that I just had to cry. I woke Eric up and let him know. I am so grateful for all of this. Eric has been so wonderful. I never would have imagined him to be this wonderful. I love how supportive he is and how great he always makes me feel. After I got up and got going I had to call both of my parents and my siblings to let them know the wonderful news. They all probably think I am crazy, because I was crying when telling the story, but hey, what can you expect from a hormonal, ecstatic new first time mother?

In other news, Eric and I went shopping today for my friend Ashley. She had her baby shower today, and is having her first child in a month. So, we went to Khols, and it is seriously the worst/best place in the world. I always end up buying so many different outfits for our child. It is so fun, and I seriously can't stop. I think I have a problem. Eric had to drag me out of the store. I just kept finding more and more things that I liked. So, to make a long story short, we left 200 dollars later. HAHA!
Well, I keep having dreams about having our baby and not having all the stuff I need for him/her. I feel like an awful parent when I wake up, so then I have to go buy more stuff. I know, I am crazy, but again, I blame it on the hormones.
Eric keeps bugging me about taking a picture of my pregnant belly. I am not so sure. I think I will regret it if I don't, but I think I am the worlds largest pregnant lady, especially at only 20 weeks.
Actually we have our big ultrasound on Wed. the 17th, so Maybe if I am feeling brave, I will post pictures of me and the baby then.
Sorry this post is so long, I just feel like I have a lot to say.
