Does this skirt make me look pregnant?

Finally!

On Friday night, at 21 weeks and 1 day, I was finally able to feel BabyG kicking rather than just rolling around. Glenn was able to feel her last night too! This somehow makes things even more exciting. Now that we are officially past the halfway mark we finally started registering. By we, I really mean Becky & I, lol. It was pretty overwhelming and a long, long day of exploring babies r us, but we had fun. I've still got some work to do, but, it's coming along.

I'm headed off to Florida tonight to visit with the very excited Grandparents to be. Talk to everyone soon.

Drum roll please...

We are having a GIRL!!!

The ultrasound was great and everything looks good. She is currently 9 inches from head to toe and weighs 10 oz. Heartbeat was at 130 bpm and so loud now. We got to see her smiling, sucking her thumb and gulping down some amniotic fluid. I will get some pictures up soon!!!!

18 Week Bump

Well here's the 18 week bump shot. Tomorrow is the big ultrasound so tonight is your last night to take a gender guess....

Hello!

Well hello everyone! Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written, but, there just hasn’t been much to write about. We are one week away from our big ultrasound where we should find out if BabyG is a boy or girl! Can’t wait!
Otherwise, nothing much just lots of planning……. I have what in theory seems like a great idea to make some meals I can freeze so we have food ready when the baby is born (Glenn would have us living on brownies, lol). Recipe testing begins this week; if I find anything outstanding I will certainly share. If you have any ‘freezer’ recipes, send them my way. Talk to you soon.

17 Week Bump

Maternity Jeans!?!

Saturday started out wonderfully; we received a card from Brianna (and her mom, stepdad & sister) congratulating us. Brianna is so excited that it makes me even more excited, which I didn’t think could actually be possible but it is. The card was so sweet; she’s going to be such an awesome big sister. From there I got ready to head to Babies R Us to buy a shower gift for one of my friends. As I walked around Babies R Us for the better part of the day checking out baby gear and day dreaming, I couldn’t stop thinking about how uncomfortable I was. I haven’t been able to really button my jeans in about two weeks so I’ve been using a bella band; even that felt too tight. And was I imagining it, or was my shirt getting shorter? Something had to give. When I finally left I headed to Old Navy…..who knew they carried maternity clothes?? I entered the dressing room with the entire maternity selection in tow and most of it was still way too big at this point. Then I got to a pair of jeans that looked remarkably like normal jeans, they sit under the baby bump rather than having the full panel over it; suddenly I could breathe again, and sit down! My first maternity purchase has been made! With a couple of new shirts, I was back to feeling like I could venture out in public without sacrificing my comfort or looking like I belonged on a ‘what not to wear’ special.
