18 Weeks and a Baby Boy

Well here I am at 18 weeks. Last week when we went to the doctor I had only gained 1 pound... I feel like I've gained much more than that. I'm chalking it up to my lack of working out - therefore loosing muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat... I'm getting soft!! My tummy if definitely getting more pronounced - although it's hard to see it in pictures.

It's a boy!! We went in to the doctors - of course so very nervous as always. We were both so amazed when she put the ultrasound thingy on my tummy and there was a baby! Last time we saw him he was just a tiny blob. It was amazing to watch him flip around, kick his legs, and open and close his mouth. I don't think looking at that image will ever get old. It's weird to watch so much movement going on in there and I can't feel anything yet. Sometimes I think I feel something but I'm not sure...

Michael - he is such a dear husband - brought home a beautiful purse for me to use as a diaper bag. :) I've been looking for something big enough yet stylish so I don't have to carry  two bags all the time. Here it is... isn't it super cute?! I think it has a J Crew feel.

Another dear Michael thing... he painted the baby room all by himself and then set up the crib.  We are going to do a nautical theme - I have my inspiration from pottery barn. I was going to spend $180 on the bedding but I decided to sew the blanket myself. Good thing Mindy and my mom are here to help me. I can't sew a straight line to save my life.

16 weeks

Well here I am at 16 weeks. :) I feel prego that is for sure, morning sickness isn't as bad but I still tend to loose at least some of of my meals daily. Feeling so sick all the time is awful but it's worth it. I tell myself that every day while I'm hugging the throne.


Thankfully baby let me feel pretty good when we were in Colorado - I didn't loose anything and only felt queasy a couple of times.


Other than that I've missed being able to work out - they tell you that you are fine just jump on in there and do it. Unfortunately, most of the time I try to do my prego workouts I loose my breakfast or lunch! So I'm just going to ignore my ever softening legs and arms...or try to. :)


We find out next week what we are having!! I'm so so so excited. I'm ready to buy some baby stuff!


Here are some stats on our little one.

 - Baby is listening to my voice, thanks to tiny bones forming in his/her ears.

 - Baby is growing growing hair, lashes and eyebrows.
 - And  forming taste buds
 - Baby is capable of making a few expressive frowns and squints
 - Eyes are finally working, making small side-to-side movements and perceiving light
