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.
