Hey guys!
So I'm currently in week 22 of pregnancy. 2 more weeks and I'll be moving right into month 6! Ya'll let me just tell you that I have been SO unbelievably tired this week. Every part of my body is aching, I'm not getting sleep because I'm not comfortable. I just keep telling myself that I still have 18 weeks to go which means things will only be getting more achy.
My belly button has gotten so teeny tiny and it HURTS. I just know that here in the next few weeks I'm going to wake up and have a popped belly button. It's just one of those weird parts of pregnancy that you don't really expect.
In other news, I swear I felt Alden kicking from the outside, but I wasn't 100 % sure because I can feel it from the inside so I thought maybe my mind was just playing tricks on me. Well Chris was having his "Alden time" a few nights ago and Alden kicked really hard right below my belly button. Chris immediately looked at me for some sort of confirmation that yes that was him kicking. When I asked if he felt it he FREAKED OUT! He was so excited!!! It's hard being the dad during pregnancy because you don't get to experience anything baby until mid to late pregnancy. He has only felt it that one time but it made him so happy to feel his son for the first time. I think it makes it more real for sure.
I went to the Dr. on Monday and everything was good. Heart was beating good and strong and I'm measuring the right size for my due date. The next appointment will be mid- September and it will be the dreaded glucose test. YUCK... but I'll make it through!
That's pretty much it for this week. I'm growing, Alden is growing. I'm totally exhausted, Alden is not. Fun times! I do have to give major props to the hubs though! He's been very helpful. He sees how tired and physically drained I am so he's been cooking, cleaning and giving me "me" time to just chill and unwind.
As always... THANK FOR READING YOU GUYS!

Week 20-21: My Little Wiggle Worm
Hey guys!
So I'm way behind on my updates. This week I'll do another two for one catch up post since not a lot has gone on during weeks 20 and 21. Obviously now I'm into month 5 so that is exciting.
I guess the biggest news is that Alden is moving around like a crazy person! When I first started feeling him around weeks 18-19 it was SO WEIRD! It honestly felt like I had bugs crawling around inside. I didn't really get used to that feeling but then all of the sudden it went from bugs crawling around inside to feeling like I'm getting thumped. That is equally as weird, but now I've started to get used to it. It amazes me how quickly he progresses. First it was the bug feeling, then light thumps. Last week (week 21) the kicks started getting much harder. Sometimes I'll be sitting at my desk and I grab my belly because its a pretty hard kick. Pretty soon he's gonna be up in my ribs practicing his ninja moves on me! YIKES!
I cannot believe how quick the time is flying. We went from finding out I was pregnant at 4 weeks in.. to now being FIVE MONTHS IN! It's getting closer and closer every day and I cannot wait to meet my little man. I know he is going to be handsome, and perfect and the love of mine and his daddy's life!
My best friend AKA the godmother, AKA aunt Rex has spoiled Alden so much already. I mean we have clothes, diapers, wipes, shoes, pacifiers, towels, bibs, socks, toys..I love looking at all his little things and knowing that sooner than we think, he will be wearing those things!
Oh and fun fact: Alden doesn't appreciate any form of sugar on an empty stomach. Yes that means I've been "hugging the toilet" lately. THANKS ALDEN!
Anyways... That's it for these weeks.
Thanks for reading as always!

Week 19: It's a...
Hey guys!!!
So I meant to post this 3 weeks ago, but I've been super busy so it just hasn't happened until today! So as I mentioned in my week 18 post, we found out what our sweet little baby is! I didn't say the gender then because we had to wait until that Saturday to tell our family!
I wanted to do something cute, that was more like a game so that my family had to work a little bit to figure out the gender. I chose to buy pink and blue balloons and poke holes in the color of the balloons that they baby wasn't so that they wouldn't blow up.
We only invited my parents, my husband's parents and the godparents over to reveal the gender. Once everyone was there and had a few minutes to chat I walked around with 2 bowls; one with pink balloons and one with blue balloons. I told everyone to pick the color balloon that they thought the baby was. Surprisingly only my mom, mother in law and the godfather picked blue balloons! Once everyone had their balloon in hand I explained how the game worked. I said GO! and everyone started blowing. TEAM BLUE WINS!!! My best friend was a little disappointed because she really wanted it to be a girl, but she got over it pretty quick!
The greatest thing about it is that it was a HUGE surprise at the Dr. office when they told us it was a boy. My family has a history of making lots of girls, and my husband's family has some sort of " you gotta have a girl first" rule or something. We totally expected it to be a girl even though we both wanted a boy. You can imagine how we felt to know it WAS a boy! The chain was broken!! We get to have a boy baby first!
We are so totally overjoyed and we will be naming him Alden Joseph Sosa. People always ask me about our name choice so I'll explain it here! So back when I was in middle school there was a cartoon called BraceFace. I loved that cartoon so much! The main male characters name was Alden. I always said I wanted to name my baby that if I had a boy. This is the where it gets weird... When I had told my grandma that name she told me that is my great uncle's middle name! HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!? I never knew what my Uncle's middle name was it's pretty awesome that Clearly I'm attracted to a name that my amazing great grandmother loves! :)
Joseph is my grandpa's name. I love my papa Joe very very VERY much and I knew that in someway I would name my baby after him if I had a boy. We also like that we can call him AJ if we want to.
I'm just so excited that I get to be the mama to a precious little boy!!!
Well that's it for this week!
