<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the things that freak me out are kind of weird. of course, i am terrified of the actual laboring process. i DO NOT and CAN NOT handle pain very well. i want drugs as soon as i get into the hospital, and i know that is just not how the process goes. i've heard awful stories about labor, so i am not looking forward to that at all. plus, all these changes that are going on in my body are just weirding me out. i had to go to the new life center last weekend because i was having some stomach pain that just would not go away. they said though i was not dilated my cervix was starting to soften. that scared the crap out of me. i know it's nothing in comparison to what else is going to happen, but it is the beginning.<br />
<br />
then, after i go through all of that scary labor stuff, i am going to be someone's mother. not just anyone's mother. the mother of a little girl. i always wanted a little girl. actually, everything i ever wanted as far as marriage and a family came true. but, now that i am actually having a little girl, i am scared out of my wits. some people say that little boys are little terrors. they are into everything and all over the place. but, those people did not know me when i was a little girl. i was a horrible child. but, other than that, i don't know anything about babies. my philosophy so far has been "not my baby, not my problem." your baby starts crying? i just hand him back to you. but, this is MY baby. i can't just hand it off to someone else. i have to change her diaper (which i have no idea how to do). i have to feed her. i have to make sure she's okay.<br />
<br />
okay, so i'll stop this terrifying rant. but, just so you all know. i am truly terrified right now by all of these things. what are some things you were terrified about?<br />

<br />
we moved last friday, and ever since then life has not slowed down one bit. i'm trying to get together things for lila and my doctor's appointments and all of this pregnancy stuff. so, i have been going nonstop since we got here.<br />
<br />
i've been spending some time with family for the last couple of weeks too. it's been really fun to see how people react to my growing stomach. many of these people haven't seen me since last october before i even found out i was pregnant.<br />
<br />
i promise i will be better at blogging from now on. i actually have stable internet! :)jessica.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04976088931680107048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217387181682319356.post-28784226521966908422012-03-26T14:14:00.000-07:002012-03-26T14:14:43.148-07:0027 weeks.how far along: 27 weeks<br />

To top that off we are moving back to Arkansas to be closer to our families. So I haven't had much time for blogging lately. <br />
<br />
But here's what is going on in my pregnancy so far:<br />
<br />
-My sweet baby girl is almost 2 lbs.<br />
That is so crazy to me! <br />
<br />
-She is most active at night and early morning.<br />
<br />
-She likes Justin Bieber and the song "I'm Sexy and I Know It." I have a feeling I have some fun times with her.<br />
<br />
-I feel great. I'm experiencing though that the second trimester energy spurt has come and gone. Now I get tired putting on clothes! jessica.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04976088931680107048noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217387181682319356.post-40068677115948823262012-02-13T20:34:00.001-08:002012-02-13T20:34:45.828-08:00Who run the world?GIRLS!<br />
<br />
And they run the Prichard family too. We are having a sweet baby girl!! She is the next in line to a lineage of beautiful girls! I'm not exaggerating! All of the girls in the hubs family are just gorgeous! They all have the same little figure and long legs. From the looks of it, our little Lila is the same! <br />
<br />
We are so excited! When we went in this morning, EVERYONE was so sure that we were having a boy but me. When the tech said girl, we were shocked. And she checked twice! Let's say I had a lot of I told you so phone calls to make. <br />
<br />
We are already in love and can't wait to see her! But first...shopping!!! :)<br />

WHAT?!?! i don't even know what to say about that! i am halfway done with this pregnancy! CRAZY! seems like yesterday i was finding out i was pregnant! i am super excited that i have made it this far. God has definitely blessed the hubs and i with this amazing opportunity to be parents. i am a firm believer that it is a choice to be a parent. you don't have to do the deed, you know? so, this is my opportunity to raise a child. can i tell you a secret?<br />
<br />
sometimes this thought scares the poop out of me. i will be laying on my back, feeling sweet baby kicks, and just start crying. i know that this is a big life change...one i've been prepared to make, but still...this is HUGE!<br />
<br />
some things i have learned about my baby this week:<br />
<br />
{1} my baby loves justin bieber. actually, any pop/dance song. it just starts moving!<br />
{2} my baby does not like when i shake my belly to wake him/her up to see if they are still there. i get angry kicks.<br />

Yes. But Tuesdays are my Monday. I am off all day Monday and I go to work on Tuesdays. <br />
<br />
Anyways, I've been really thinking a lot on what my future child will be like and look like. Will he or she be sweet like Michael was when he was little? Will he or she be a hellion like I was when I was little? The Lord only knows. By I think my mama wishes for the latter. <br />
<br />
What color hair will he or she have? What color eyes? The possibilities are endless and for really the first time in my pregnancy, I am excited about seeing what this little person will look like. We have already seen that he or she has the Prichard lips and possibly my nose. I guess we have to stay tuned and just see!jessica.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04976088931680107048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217387181682319356.post-70980463917390338712012-01-27T15:29:00.000-08:002012-01-27T15:29:33.694-08:00name reveal.since my next doctor's appointment is in two weeks to reveal the gender of my unborn child, i thought i'd FINALLY share our two names we have picked. now, these names are in concrete....literally. if you've read my previous blogs, you know that when our church was still in its building process we wrote on the floors of the sanctuary--favorite scriptures, unsaved loved ones, etc. i wrote two scriptures for my unborn children who at that moment in time were just a prayer and put their initials underneath. so, if you don't like these names...well too bad. :) so, here we are! NAME REVEAL! *dum dum dum*** that was a drumroll. lol.<br />

<ul><li>i am loving maternity clothes. i actually own the top two items. maternity leggings are AMAZING. i am glad i invested in a pair. currently they come up to my boobs, but that's okay. they are comfy none the less. the dress is a dress my mother-in-law bought for me. it is so cute and versitile. i pair it with some amazing accessories and of course...my leggings. okay, i'm obsessed. the jeans are a wish-list item. i have one pair of maternity jeans, but i want to invest in another pair. motherhood has a great selection in-store and on-line. i am officially addicted to that store now--despite having a complete panic attack the first time i entered. now, it's welcomed ground.</li>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Pregnancy is a humorous and wonderful stage of womanhood. I've never before experienced such an amazing, spiritual, and GROSS experience in my entire life. If you are trying to get pregnant, just know that worrying about it only makes it more impossible to do. It seemed like whenever I let go and gave it to God, I found myself sitting on the toilet with that positive pee-stick. I remember when I first found out I had a gob of emotions. We weren't even trying to get pregnant. In fact, we had discussed putting it off until the new year. I was excited and scared--mainly scared because of my past experience. I didn't have many symptoms in the first few weeks. In fact, when the doctor asked if I had been nauseated and I said no, he said to consider myself lucky or know that it was coming. He was right. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">When I saw and heard BP's heartbeat for the first time, I can't even describe the feeling that I had at that moment. It was breathtaking. I knew I loved that little baby even when it looked like a little gummy bear. I wasn't prepared to feel something like that, and sometimes I still struggle with that feeling. I have enjoyed every bout of morning sickness, feeling like I've peed my pants, and midnight trips to the bathroom. I am amazed by every ultrasound. In fact, I cannot wait for them. I get very anxious the night before just wondering how much BP has grown. The last ultrasound was amazing because when the tech zoomed in on BP's face, you could tell that he/she was going to have the signature Prichard lips. They all have big lips. I will do a blog later about the genetics of his side of the family. Its amazing. All the girls are BEAUTIFUL. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Nobile;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I am so thankful that God granted me this amazing opportunity to be pregnant, to be a mother, and to raise this little person to be a servant to His kingdom. I pray every day the same prayer for our baby, and I can't wait until June to see this little person!</span></span></div>jessica.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04976088931680107048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217387181682319356.post-88898947908526026352012-01-07T09:39:00.000-08:002012-01-07T09:39:23.076-08:00new year's resolutions.i know it's kind of late to be posting about new year's, but i am so excited about this year! well, everyone knows that we will be having our first baby in 2012! it is starting to become more real now. before, i felt like this pregnancy thing was nothing--i think mainly because we have lost a baby before. i haven't gotten too excited about the prospects of a little prichard running around our house, but now that i'm further along...it is definitely becoming more real. the best/worst part is that in this last week, POOF! there is my belly. poking out proud for the world to see. it is sorta cute. :) i'm mainly excited about february! that's when we get to find out if baby p is a baby c.a.p. or a baby l.g.p. and most definitely looking forward to name reveal.<br />
<br />
another thing about 2012 is that is has all the potential to be something great! we are having this new person in our lives, new beginnings, and a change. i am very apt to change--seeing that i moved eight hours away from home in the past year.<br />

<br />
i have to say that i've had the best thanksgiving this year with my sweet husband! he has the tradition of going to the dallas cowboys game with his mom every year. this year, we went together. it was my very first nfl game to ever attend. not to mention that last year, he went without me while they were playing my favorite team--the saints. i'm not a HUGE fan of football, but i pick the teams with the cutest players or whoever a celebrity dated. it's how i identify with the sport. AND not to mention that the musical guest was keith urban...ahem. but, i was super excited when i was able to go this year with him. here are some pics of our trip. :)<br />

<br />
no. this isn't the state motto for texas. though it may be true. <br />
<br />
but, i have learned that this is a way of thinking. i know. crazy right? that's what i thought until i started reading this book by sue buchanan. i was at mardel with the staff at church yesterday looking through the clearance rack when i came upon this beauty. now, i know they say don't judge a book by its cover, but i so did. i'm bad. i know.<br />
<br />
i couldn't help but be drawn to this phrase though. i have heard it several times, and i have even been known to weaer my hair a little big every now and then. so, i read the back of the book--and this is what i came to see that i had to buy this book.<br />
<br />
you know that big haired lady that is loud and proud in your church or work or life? she wears zebra and lime green--at the same time. she wears makeup to put the garbage out. she would not dare be seen at the grocery store with her slippers and sweats on. she speaks out on about everything. well, this book talks about how to channel her within you. God made us all different. He made us to be unique. He made us to be proud of ourselves. not to live ashamed of the person we really are.<br />
<br />
this book stuck out to me, because i am constantly saying i'm not the girl i used to be. i am not as funny as i used to be. i'm not as confident as i used to be. i'm not as social as i used to be. i'm not as smart as i used to be. i'm not as organized as i used to be. i'm not as pretty as i used to be. but, here's the thing...i AM!! i still have all of those qualities in me that have just been hiding behind this layer of insecurity. <br />
<br />
i'm ready to break loose! i'm ready to release that big haired lady inside of me. here i go! ready or not. :) <br />
<br />
by the way, i'm only on chapter one...so if you need a boost of encouragement...READ THIS!<br />
