Changing spaces, places, and faces!!

So, it has been OVER a MONTH since I have last updated! Oops! :) So here is what has been going on in our lives:

~Just in case you haven't heard, Richard and I are having a BOY!!! Yep that's right! The first boy on my side of the family! We could not be more excited! His name? James Walker Willis ("Walker")! It is a WONDERFUL family name on Richard's side. James Walker is actually Richard's grandfather's name, and let me tell you, I could imagine a more special person for our son to be named after. Pop is one amazing man.

~I started to feel Walker move at week 18 and at week 19.5 he decided he really likes moving and has not stopped since! Walker really likes it when I teach RPM. He kicks and rolls the whole time! I am pretty sure Les Mills music is going to soothe him when he arrives :) Yesterday, I decided to introduce him to swimming. I forced myself to get into a swimsuit and attempted to swim (which I haven't done in a LONG time). When I was done Walker started moving and seriously did not stop AT ALL yesterday! Maybe another swimmer in the family??

~Right now I am 21 weeks and 1 day and I feel GREAT! :) I really can't complain at all! I have been feeling so good that I even agreed to eat Mexican food the other week! That is HUGE! I use to LOVE LOVE LOVE Mexican food, but during my first trimester the mere THOUGHT of it made me sick so I hadn't eaten it since December! I am still teaching BodyPump and RPM and plan on trying to continue until July.

Baby Bump at 20 weeks 3 days:


(There IS a bump I PROMISE! :) )
Well, May is going to be an extremly BUSY month for both Richard and myself. Here is what we have going on:
* When we moved into our house we knew that we were going to eventually have to have some work done on our backyard. Well, we are starting a big renivation of our yard NEXT WEEK! We can't wait! We have been planning on this for a LONG time and just can't wait for a yard that is a little bigger and alot more functional.
* I have ordered all of the furniture for the nursery and it should be coming in within the next couple of weeks, so, as of TONIGHT Richard is starting to paint the nursery! I can't wait to see how everything is going to look! I will post pictures of both projects as soon as they get started! :)
* Okay, just in case you were interested, here is our schedule for May:
May 1-2: We are off to Atlanta to a food show where we are going to see BOBBY FLAY and MARIO BATALLI!!! SO FUN!
May 3rd: We head to Mongtomery to get ready to leave for our trips:
May 4th-7th: I head to the beach for work (and some fun..my friend Stephanie is going with me!) and Richard leaves EARLY in the morning for a trip to Nashville
May 7th-9th: Richard and I come back to Montgomery to celebrate my neice's (Margaret Ann) FIRST birthday and Mother's day
May14-15: Richard and I head back to Atlanta to meet up with Becky, Damon, LB, and Carter to go see the Braves play and to see Mary Poppins at the Fox...How fun will that be???
May 18-24: BEACH TRIP with my family!!! WOOHOO!! A week long vacation with my family and husband...what could be better?? Richard hasn't had a week off work since our honeymoon...I think it will be a well deserved vacation for him! :)
May28-31: Henderson, TN to visit with Richard's family! It is always so nice to be able to see his family. We don't get to see them often so when we can make the trip it is always wonderful!
Hopefully, by the end of the month I will have lots of fun pictures to post!!! :)
