Baby Titus is growing

As we all know from 5-20 weeks I wasn't feeling amazing. I have to say those 15 weeks I wasn't loving being pregnant. The only thing that kept me positive was knowing, being so sick was a blessing. It meant my little baby was still growing and healthy. I always knew I wanted to be a Mommy and knowing I was pregnant I'd do anything to keep my baby safe. I'm pretty sure every Mom worries when she's pregnant about what if something goes wrong. I've prayed over and over again that this baby keeps growing and is healthy. Thinking about it now makes me very emotional. When I first found out I was pregnant I fell in love with this baby. I looked forward to finding out the sex, feeling him or her move inside of me, me getting huge, Justin getting to feel my stomach as our baby grew and when the time comes, us getting to see his or her face for the first time.

Now that my pregnancy is over half way done we know the sex of our little guy, I get to feel him move inside of me, Justin gets to feel his son kick his hand and I'm getting huge. Haha Those awful 15 weeks sure have made up for it. Feeling Titus move is one of the best feelings. I love it! Lorraine is 5 weeks ahead of me and Isaac is so strong. I think to myself oh I cant wait till Titus moves like that and week by week he's getting there. I'm very excited to see what he looks like but right now I'm enjoying being nauseous free (for the most part) and feeling my baby move. It's a crazy feeling loving something so small and someone you don't know yet. Whenever I think about it like that I think well I've never seen God's face and I still love him and have a relationship with him but I just feel like having a baby is totally different. I also next think why did God trust me with this child? I hope that I'm the prefect Mommy for this little boy and try to do everything right. I'm sure I'll mess up and I'm sure Justin will too but we want to try our best to raise him right and show him so much love. I love my little Ty Ty. :)

Anyways here's my tummy growing along with some people who already love him.

Life

I want people to see a little piece of our daily lives... well when Justin is fixing/installing something in the Emerson household.

Justin and I have been searching for a TV mount. Everything we found was around $80. We thought that was ridiculous and with a baby on the way we try to save money wherever we can. We would look at whatever store we'd happen to be at. Starting with Sears. I believe we checked Lowes and Home Depot. (Some guy swore they sold them at home depot... he lied) Checked out Wal-mart and who knows where else. We finally found one at Ross for super cheap. So cheap we bought TWO just in case we didn't have all the right pieces and when we can get another flat screen for our bedroom. We were very happy with our Ross trip.

A few days later Justin insisted on installing the wall mount instead of joining the Colwell's for dinner. That night I teased him over and over again, how our dinner wasn't as good as Lorraine's roast she had made. (This is the stuff he gets to deal with. haha) We both thought his little project would take maybe 45 minutes to an hour. We were mistaken. Stuff wasn't going correctly into the wall. I'm not sure of the correct words for tools and hardware but they are these dumb plastic pieces that are suppose to make the screws hold better in the wall. They didn't want to go in. I supervised and watched Justin become frustrated. For those who don't know, Justin isn't super handy in the house. He can get by but sometimes struggles and when things don't work he gets upset, like almost every guy I know.



Here he is trying to install the TV mount.

There isn't much I can do but be supportive and try not to let him catch me giggling to myself. I'm pretty sure if he caught me taking pictures he wouldn't be so thrilled either. After watching him struggle for a while I decided to call Ben. Ben told me these pieces are pretty much crap and we should buy metal ones. Justin was frustrated and really didn't want to make a trip over to Home Depot. I continue to watch Justin and chat with Ben.



This is the face I hide when he turns around. :D

Once he got all the pieces up it was time for me to actually help. I helped him stick the TV to the wall and made sure it was centered. Such a hard job on my part. ;) The whole project took about 2 hours. It's not 100% done but at least it's up. We're planning on hiding the wires and then it will be complete. I'm happy Justin actually tries to do these crazy projects and they might not go over super quick but eventually he figures it out. :) He's a great husband and he'll be a good daddy too. We love him!



TV finally made it to the wall! :)
