I know I said I would start this back up after the holidays but then I had baby showers and birthdays so here it is....
I am now 34 weeks and still very much enjoying being pregnant! I am very anxious to meet my little moose but I love being pregnant(I can see why some people have 6 kids haha)
Everything is going great with the pregnancy and we have pretty much done everything we wanted to get done before March, expect find a pediatrician.

Holidays and third trimester...
8 weeks left and we made it through the holidays!! We have one meeting left with the doula and a water birth class to go to but I feel like we have accomplished most of the important things.
Trying to find a pediatrician this week...finding one that will let us delay our vaccines seems to be hard.

What the hell was that?!
Was pretty much all I could say when I woke up at 430 am with this unusual tight feeling in my lower stomach...I tried to relax and it went away and I went back to sleep. Around 930am I felt it again..yup my Braxton Hicks contractions have started! Guess its just one more sign we are getting closer to having a new baby Nichols with us!

Half Baked!
Our little bun in the oven is half way done baking!! I cant believe that we are already at the half way mark! I am going to upload the pics from this week and the lost ones from when I did my posts from my phone. We have decided for sure that we are going to use blues and browns for the nursery and add some guitar and music stuff in there here and there.

Atlanta Medical Center
Last night I went to tour Atlanta Medical Center and go to the meet and greet for the midwives. It was a wonderful place! Ryan ended up having to work since a client came in and need his attention. My mom said thought that she would go with me. In the end I am very glad that my mom went because when we left she had a better idea of the birth that I want and that I am not crazy in some of the things I have told her about (i.e. laboring at home, water birth, delay cord clamping etc...)

**The Father and Son Bond Begins**
**Lost Post**
((Orignianlly should have came out right after I wrote the Pink Blue or maybe Two post))
Ryan and I decieded to go to a 3D Ultrasound place to find out the gender bc we were in the middle of finding a doctor and were a little unsure when we would be able to find one and then schedule the actaul u/s..plus niether one of us could wait knowing we have could just simply go right down the street and find out.
We were told, or should I say I was told to drink orange juice 30 mins before coming to help wake up the baby and get him moving around in there. Ryan took this very literally and we got into a tiff about when I could drink my mcdonalds orange juice haha. We arrived at the place and the set up was very nice they had to large(maybe 42') flat screens on the walls to see the ultrasound on. One was on my left and the other directly in front on me. It is always a blessing and a little bit of a suprise when we get to see our little baby on the screen. Ryan I could tell at this point started to get very anxious! He was walking back and forth between the two screens looking at everything and trying so hard to tell what the baby was going to be. And since we are talking about a Nichols here the little one of course took his sweet time to show what was between the legs...and as everyone knows all the sudden we saw it and learned that we were going to be proud parents of a baby BOY! What happend next though is what made my eyes tear up. Ryans face was priceles and I wish I had all this on video. He looked amazed and happy and just in what I guess was disbelief. He actaully walked out of the room and I continued to talk to the u/s tech and looked at our little baby boy. When he did come back in, I asked him where he went and he told me that he went to pray and thank God for the blessing of a son and to call his dad and tell him that it was indeed a BOY!
I cant wait for our son to be here and to watch my two boys interact. I know Ryan is going to be an amazing father!
**EDIT** Ryan got to feel Nathan's first kick!! I have felt some flutters and such but no strong kicks yet. The other morning we were laying in bed before getting up for work and Ryan had his hand on my tummy hoping to feel our son. Somewhere between Ryan talking and the morning news I feel back to sleep. Well I soon heard Ryan repeating over and over again did you feel that?! I was half a sleep and was a little confused then I realized Ryan had felt a kick and I slept through it...well looks like the bond between the boys in the house is growing stronger :)
