1 Year Married, 20 weeks Pregnant and a it's a ?

I can't even believe that the hubs and I have been married a year already, some how 6 months have flown by since I did my last monthly married updates and now I am here writing about it being a year! Sorry, it's just crazy to me that my wedding is a years memory already. So since it's been so long since I have done a married update  I figured now would be a good time lol. So lets start with Miley, you remember her right well she's still the same little, crazy, hyper puppy whose gonna be celebrating her 1st birthday in April :)....Next is the hubs, he's is enjoying his job for the most part except the days he gets cursed at by customers on the phone but overall good! He's also enjoying every moment of seeing my belly grow, the baby kick and our monthly ob visit, he's is being great at rubbing every aching pain I have and just being there 100%. Now me, well somethings have definitely changed here lol there is an ever growing belly in front of me, some aches and pains but overall I can't complain. I am blessed with this amazing little life in my belly, an amazing husband and supportive family members who care about me. As for my job I am really enjoying my new position that I wrote about a while ago, I am glad that I jumped in and went for it. All is really well in the Mendenhall family <3

Your Baby: Week 20

Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!

Your Baby: Week 18

Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon. 

 

Your Baby: Week 19

Vernix caseosa, a greasy white substance made of lanugo, oil and dead skin cells (yum) now coats baby's skin, shielding it from the amniotic fluid. (Picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.) You might actually get to see the vernix at birth, especially if baby is premature.

Your Baby: Week 17

Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

Hair Extensions

I have gotten a lot of questions from friends and co-workers about my clip-in hair extension after wearing them to an office party recently...I must say I really love them and the way they look! After reading tons of reviews and watching videos on youtube I purchased Remy hair extensions from Sally's a local beauty supply store for around $90 after tax on sale. Only thing was that the extensions came in black and chocolate brown which didn't match my hair, so what I did was buy chocolate brown and dyed them natural black/black to match my hair ( well I should mention my lovely husband dyed them for me using a box dye lol because I didn't think the smell would be safe for the baby). After DH dyed them they matched perfectly and I couldn't wait to use them...Since purchasing them I have worn them straight and curly and I really like how they look. So if you've been thinking about going long, just do it... it really is a lot of fun and they will make you feel sexy.

Remy comes in a large box with about 8 wefts which is more then enough... it come with 4 larger pieces and for smaller single clip pieces for the front of your hair. If you have no idea how to put them there are a lot of youtube videos that will teach you how to put them in! Happy Hair :)


P.S after purchasing mine I found Luxy Hair online and wished that I would have gotten those, I am satisfied with the Remy hair but those sisters really have me sold on Luxy Hair. Maybe next time!
