2010-- a complete blessing.
I've been trying to think of how to write this blog for about a week simply because 2010 was the best year yet & a complete blessing. I have so much to be thankful for because of this year. I would completely relive it. When I look back I wouldn't change a thing... well maybe a couple of things but not much! :)
In May I had an amazing beautiful bridal shower. I was blessed with many many wonderful gifts! :)
June came & we (mainly my then fiance) experienced the biggest blessing of our lives. Jayce won the lottery... this couldn't have happened at a better time. We were able to plan the wedding of my dream & boy did I! This blessing couldn't have happened to a better person my husband is the one the hardest workers I know he always have been and this didn't change much! It allowed us to have an awesome wedding, amazing honeymoon, pay off and start are marriage debt free & blow some of it--I won't lie we definitely enjoyed being care free with some of it. :)
**We also became pregnant this month--didn't know it.
July came and we spent the majority of this month doing last minute things for the wedding.
We went to a cubs game and had front row seats right behind home plate--this would probably be my husbands favorite moment of the whole year... He was in heaven--sadly the Cubs lost. Lastly,
we found out we were pregnant at the very end of this month at that point we were 6 weeks along.
August came and so did the best moment of my life...
 |
| My (now) Husband! |
 |
| My favorite work girls!! -even though all of us have found different paths now- |
 |
| My best friends. |
I had the best birthday-- the next day was probably the worst day of my life but I definitely learnt my lesson & didn't drink that much ever again.
*Through out the beginning of the year I was planning & stressing over my wedding that would happen in August.
 |
| My Bridemaids They did an AWESOME job!! |
 |
| Some of the gifts! |

MY WEDDING

| some of the most amazing girls I've ever met my bridesmaids & flower girls |
 |
| my other half & love of my life |
 |
| the boys |
 |
| the group. these are some of the people that made this day so great. |
Next we experienced an amazing honeymoon.

 |
| one of our last days on the cruise. the sky was amazing this night. |
 |
| our boat |
 |
| us before dinner one night. |
We came home from our honeymoon to a super clean house & clean cars (thanks mom & dad)
We then celebrated my husbands 24th birthday sadly I don't have any pictures from this day & can't even remember what we did to celebrate? :(
September, October, November & December were awesome months to but for some reason I don't have any pictures to show you the awesomeness other than our pregnancy pictures...
When I look back on the year I just love how blessed I was with my wedding & pregnancy & Jayces big win. I truly don't know how any year can be better than this one but then I think of this amazing blessing I have growing inside me and how the day we get to meet this little guy will be better than any amount of money we could've received & the perfect wedding day we had.
This year Jayce & I have built an amazing relationship that seems unbreakable we have never been so happy with each other we hardly fight or argue & I can't see that changing so bring on the new year!! :)
I hope everyone had just as wonderful of a year as I did.
HAPPY NEW YEAR & MAY IT BE FULL OF WONDERFUL THINGS!!
Ultrasound (28 weeks-3D)
So everything went great at the ultrasound!!!
He even cooperated most of the time... He was laying up against the placenta so you will notice in most of the pictures and during the video that the left side of his face is a little blurry because of this--We tried to get him to move away from it but he was comfortable and didn't want to. We got 50 images on a disc plus 20 print outs (some 2d, some b&w 3d & some color 3d) we also got the dvd of course...
From the ultrasound we can now say that he has my cheeks, Jayce's lips & a definite Wilcox nose. Oh & he has Hair!! :)
this was the very first 3d we saw of him... look at those cheeks!! Crazy to imagine how much they will grow in the next 10-12 weeks!!
this little face broke my heart--looks like he is going to cry.
rubbing his little eye.

Pictures!!
Like I said earlier we recieved a ton more pictures those are just some of my faves.
If you are pregnant and are considering getting this done I would completely recommend it!
It made Jayce & I feel that much more in love with him & so much more excited!
Hope you guys enjoyed!!

28 weeks!
So We've made it through another month!!-- I say it all the time but this pregnancy is just flyinggg by!!... I'm sure hoping the next couple months go just as fast!! I really have enjoyed being pregnant but I'm just ready to meet this lil guy!!
So earlier in the week we had our "first" appointment with our "new" Doctor. He was GREAT--such a relief! He was a really nice guy which made me feel much better about choosing to switch to a male doctor. I was so nervous mainly that being the reasoning but after the visit I felt great about the choice we made! It was a very fast appointment did the normal stuff--weight, heartbeat, measurement that kind of stuff. He said at our next appt (in 3 weeks) that he was try to find out what position the baby is in. I'm excited that I have something to look forward to he said we will also talk about some labor stuff too--crazy to think it is already time to start discussing some of those issues!
Glucose Testing results= I passed (i think) I say that because Monday morning before my appt. I called to find out the results. The nurse put me on hold and came back saying I passed with a 132 which I was super estatic about considering I did not want to have to go through anymore testing!! Well, when I got to my appt my nurse told me that she couldn't find the results or she didn't have them yet... so I was going to use the patient portal and contact them and find out if my results just hadn't been filed or if the nurse just gave me the wrong information?? I have forgot to email them until this morning, in which, I tried and failed at this attempt because I forgot my login information so plan on calling them... soon.
Baby Wilcox is finally on the go he is quite the little mover inside of their now--Which I love!! He is to the point where he kicks multiple times right in a row so it is easier for ppl to feel the little guy kick! The Hubs got to feel him kick a couple times christmas eve, he said he is pretty sure that is the first kicks he's "really" felt... so I guess the last time he felt it he really didn't?? && Then the other day my mom & I went to the movies to watch Little Fockers (super funny) & he began to kick so I had to tell her she may be able to feel the little guy move and sure enough as soon as she put her hand on my stomach he gave her 3 hard jabs!! :) She loved it!! She was then able to feel him again later that night at a family gathering he moved quite a bit for her then!!
Later today we go for our 3D/4D ultrasound!!! I can't wait!! We have my parents, my grandma, his grandma & his mom all coming with... we are excited they get to experience this with us... my parents and grandma came to the ultrasound that we found the sex out but this is the first for his mom & grandma I'm excited they all get to come-- the room for the ultrasound is huge... it has a large tv that the image is on and it also is projected onto the wall & there are 2 couches in there for ppl to sit on so it is plenty big enough for everyone! I will post the video & pictures & my 28 week bump picture later--like hopefully tomorrow!! :)
I also hope to finally post some great xmas presents we got!! :)
Have a great day everyone!! :)

3rd trimester!!--27 weeks, Pepperoni face, Movement & Christmas.
Well I'm officially in my 3rd & final trimester!! I can not believe how fast this is going I mean I seriously feel like it was yesterday when we found out we were expecting. From all the blogs I read I think I have had the easiest pregnancy possible-- hoping this doesn't change in this last trimester.
This past week nothing new has really happened other than a sudden case of acne. I've never struggled with acne so this to me is bad. My make-up covers some of it but not good enough. I post on the bumb regularly & a lot of the women on there are saying how they don't feel like the cute pregnant lady anymore because of the weight they have gained & I just can't relate I mean the weight I have gained is all right in my belly mainly so I only see pregnancy weight & I can't think thats bad when I know the little guy is for the reason I'm getting as large as an elephant butttt this acne I can't find ANYTHING positive about it... I have been doing more to prevent this acne than I have preventing stretch marks! If any of you have ANY kind of solution to get rid of the pepperonis that are appearing alllll over my face (& chest-forgot to mention the mess appearing there) I am all ears & would love some advice!!
Early in week 25( & before then) I experienced A LOT of movement & then that horrible Thursday came where I was miserable & in a lot of pain and feeling a lot of pressure and ever since then the little guy hasn't moved nearly as much--I'm chalking it up to be because he is running out of room?? He is positioning himself differently?? I'm just not really sure I still feel him a few times a day so I know he's still kicking in there but I just don't feel it as much. Last doctor appt I told her I was concerned about the amount of movement I felt but she said not to let it bother me & once he is around 29-30 weeks then we can do kick counts & things like that to make sure he is doing alright but I'm thinking since I have an appt next week with the new doc that I will just ask him & tell him how I feel... Hopefully he will have a "good" reason for the little movement going on.
Christmas is on its wayyyyyyy!! I just can't believe that it's almost here! :) :) Christmas eve is by far my favorite day of the year! Normally by this point I have all my presents bought & wrapped, well this year is different I have about a third of my presents bought & none of them wrapped. Thank God I only have to work 1 day this week or I dont know what I would do! I hate waiting till the last minute but I mainly have gift cards & stuff like that to buy (I think) so my shopping shouldn't be to hard. I also loveee to wrap presents but I only like to wrap like 10 presents at a time & then thats enough for me & I have to stop do something else for awhile & then wrap some more later, I don't think I'm going to have that option this year. I may have to do a lot of gift bags :)
Christmas Eve & Christmas Day are just CRAZY busy for us... We have 2 family gatherings on Christmas eve--both in the evening Jayce's dad side & my dad's side. Then Christmas day we have a lot.... we go to my parents in the morning, my dad's side always does lunch, my mom's side has a get together during the day, Jayce's mom's side has a get together during the day & then another that night that his extended family comes to... We also have to have a christmas with his mom then another with his dad. This year we will be splitting up on Christmas eve He will go to his get together I will go to mine & then Christmas we will just have to split our time up--this is always no fun it makes it so we spend most of our time driving from place to place. Next year this will be even harder to split our time up with the baby and all-- I'm not really willing to not go to my gathering on Christmas Eve we have had that tradition in my family since well forever & I just look back on my childhood christmas' and I have the best memories from those get togethers... & well Jayce really doesn't want to give up his Christmas Eve tradition with his family so we are splitting up this year but next year we will want the baby to go to both so hopefully one of the sides can change there time because as of right now they start at the same time soooo... We are going to enjoy this last Christmas the same way we have as the past and do our own thing Christmas Eve & Christmas Day try to go everywhere & we will worry about next year when the time comes...
I hope everyone has a very blessed Holiday & is able to spend it with loved ones!!
