20 LONG weeks of Pregnancy.

I like to consider myself a blogger and I will blog anything, but lately......I thought that a huge part of my life has gone undocumented/unblogged.

My BABY!

BUT....I just realized that my pregnancy was a little more documented than I thought.

My dearest hubby works out of town and apparently....I have been sending him pictures everyday for the past 20 weeks. I just uploaded my phone card.

Here are my 20 weeks in photos (well about 1/4 of them anyway...there were soo many!!!)

Poor Chase. I didn't realize I sent him so many silly pictures everyday.

So....I found this out.

So I took some more!


1st appointment I realized was AWFUL.

AND I had to give blood on top of that....it was horrible.

I had to show Chase my war wounds.

I found a new love for the toilet and decided makeup was overrated at this point.






I was SICK... ALOT...and I wanted him to know! It took too much effort to get out of bed...much less brush my hair and put on mascara!


See my tear?!

I tried these out. Not that great.

At 10 weeks I took an intelligender....IT's a GIRL!

And I'm still crying. Here I was crying to the song "Roll on 18 Wheeler" by Alabama.

I guess it got to me!

Halloween rolled around and when I wasn't eating candy...I was handing it out....to the Morrison Boys.

But I was still sick....

Baby got it's first gift! A rocking horse. Jake like it.

Baby also fell in love HAMBURGERS and I ate them twice a day...EVERYDAY.

13 weeks rolls around and I took another intelligender.....this time....ITS A BOY!!!

I road tripped to Odessa to see Chase.....in my awesome compression hose!

Thanksgiving came and went....

And I was still crying....but at least wearing makeup again! Ugh and chapped lips like nobody's business!

Ultrasound a day before my birthday.....Survey says: It's a BOY!

I invested in my very own doppler and I'm certifiably obsessed with it.

Heartrate....154!!!

Christmas is here!

I hunted down old baby pics of Chase and I.......

Here's a baby Kate

And a baby Chase

We have now named the little boy Carter Chase Richardson and we are sooo excited. I buy him cute outfits occasionally....

My new craving...Joe T Garcias.....except I dont get to eat there often.

Finally feelin better and I was PROUD! Makeup and HAIR done!

Which brings me to my final picture from last week.....where we discovered that "Carter" is no longer.

Apparently "Carter" was actually our "Lyla"

WE WERE SHOCKED!!!

And I knew I had to run out and get a few things for "Lyla" to replace the boy things.
Then I was hooked!!
I needed a Lyla Brooks all along!

Here we are.....week 20.....a LONG way to go, but I made it this far!
