Happy Monday, everyone!
In IL we had awesome weather on Saturday - 66 down here in Peoria! Needless to say, I think everyone in our state totally loved it! :) Today it's supposed to be 60, then tomorrow... 66! Too bad I'm in school and then have my after school clubs... oh well, it gives hope that this winter will soon be over... It's just been so COLD!! (It is going back to the 30s after this little teaser - so we are still in Feb, I suppose!)
I was reading my 'What to Expect' book and it said that I was in the 5th month - which makes sense! But it's just exciting that I'm really moving along :)
My goal this week is to really start researching and picking out some baby things - I have emails from friends, a great book (thanks, Nate and Alli!) and now I just have to do my homework! It's pretty fun - but there are still just so many choices!!
As you have read in past blogs too - this is the week of the Ultrasound! Thursday... whoo hoo!
Alrighty, time for school!
Love

Happy Friday!
A lot of people at school have been asking how I'm feeling lately - and the answer is really pretty good! I'm so thankful that this pregnancy has been on the easy side for me! Watch - now the last trimester will be a real challenge!! (And I'm still a little worried about the baby coming OUT) !!!
I'm super excited because 1. It's Friday, and 2. It's supposed to be 57 degrees here tomorrow (and on a Saturday so we can all enjoy it!) . I so need this warm weather - I pretty much over winter for the year :)
Baby's doing good lately - I haven't felt any kicks yet... but he/she does a good job of making me hungry - so I'm hoping that everything's going well in there! We'll find out for sure next week!
Have a great Friday, everyone - and a great weekend!
Love

Happy 19 weeks!!
Wow - it seems like this pregnancy is going by quickly and slowly at the same time!! Happy 19 weeks Baby Bally - you sure are getting big!! 10.5 oz - and some websites say you are 10 inches from head to toe - that's quite a baby!! :)
I am loving being pregnant so far - It is just so awesome! Ian's excited too - we just can't wait to feel that baby kick!! :)
I've had some teachers saying that I'm definitely showing now - so it's a good thing I have all those maternity pants!
I can't believe that I'm almost halfway - that is just crazy! Now I just start getting big :) However, it's also a sign that spring is coming - yay!! And we have all sorts of fun events to look forward to: Ultrasound next week :) John's Senior Recital March 8th (in about a month!), Ian and I are going to Galveston in April, in April and May I start taking a few pregnancy hospital classes, and then in May we have the graduations of John and Ben! :) June I get out of school - and in July the baby comes!!! So there's something about every month - that should keep things moving along!!!
Have a great day everyone!

Ian's 34th Birthday :)
I know this is a post for Baby Bally, but I'm sure he or she won't mind sharing the space with the parents once in a while! (I'll have to change the title of the blog after the baby is here!) Anyhow, on Saturday we celebrated Ian's birthday with his Grandma, Dad, and Mom - it was great! Carol and Bob made us a wonderful dinner and they made Ian a really cute groundhog cake!! Here is a video of Ian opening his present from the family - it was a hit! :) (And I say 'Yay' WAY too much- camera lady's going to need to work on not talking when she's taping!!)
Some party animals! :)
The cake in all it's glory! Will he see his shadow? We hope not!
Ian, Carol, and Grandma working on the candles - 34!!
The birthday boy :)
Oh no!!! Winter is ablaze!

Baby thoughts!
Good morning (or afternoon or evening!)
I've realized I've gotten into the habit of writing every morning - so even though I"m running a tad late for school today - I just still had to update everyone about baby bally! :)
Ian got a cute birthday card from Dad and Linda yesterday (all the way from Hawaii!!) and in it Dad's message said "By this time next year, you will have changed 1,115 diapers, prepared a few hundred bottles, and realized every day how blessed you are!" Those types of realizations are fun! Yet at the same time, wow!! Our life is going to change so much! But for the better for sure! :)
Ian's cousins sent us a REALLY cute little stuffed animal/book yesterday in the mail - we so enjoyed looking at it - and listening to it! It's amazing how Baby Bally is already starting to get little gifts!
Also, the board of education decided yesterday that they are not going to consolidate any schools or lay any teachers off this year - so yay!! That means Laura still has a job for next year :) (Unless something happens at the Irving level and my principal doesn't want to keep me) But, it was a huge relief to hear yesterday!
Okay, time to eat some Kix and then off to school!

Tuesday, Tuesday
Good morning :)
So, I read up on baby stuff pretty much all of the time. Books, internet, really anywhere I can get the information!! I also end up talking to the dad-to-be about something baby related every day - which he totally expected, but I didn't! I remember when I first found out I was pregnant, I wanted our conversations to remain somewhat normal so I said "Don't worry, Ian - I won't talk about baby stuff every day!" Oh my - that is so far from the truth! Looking back, Ian says that he knew that was a promise I wouldn't be able to keep! But we enjoy it, so it's all good :)
I feeling pretty good lately - The only crazy thing is the amount of weight I'm gaining!! It just keeps going up!! Which I suppose it needs to - but it is still quite strange to see the scale with those numbers on it!
Well - time for school! I cannot wait for this winter weather to end- Hard to believe it will be 50 degrees here Saturday - I can't wait!!!

Happy Birthday, Ian!!
Today is Ian's birthday! Yay! :) We had a great night celebrating with his parents and Grandma on Saturday, and he loved his gift of the GPS (So thanks, family! I'll put the video up tomorrow - I ran out of time this weekend!) I'm not sure what we'll do yet today, but I'll be sure to be extra nice to him! :) Ian did a lot of work on the house this weekend - He's working on wiring, so putting in new outlets, new switches, and then he and his dad put in a bunch of new canlights in the baby's room - so exciting and appreciated!!!
I'm finally feeling better - this cold was a bad one! Kind of like the flu on Thursday (just achy ALL over) and then just turned into massive head cold - but there's just a little reminder now! One of the students I tutor said to me Friday "You got soup at home? When you get home make sure you eat some soup - you shouldn't of come in today!" I though that was very sweet :)
Since this is a Baby blog - I'll share that I picked up two more pairs of maternity pants! So now my total is up to 3, and I LOVE them!!! Now Baby Bally won't have to get smushed!!
Hopefully within the next few weeks I'll feel the baby kick for the first time, so I'll let you know for sure!!! :)
Have a great week everyone!
