20 Weeks

The countdown is on!! (Ok, not really, it's just beginning!) I cannot believe we are already halfway there!! Are little Egg Drop is turning into quite the Egg Roll!! He is moving around and kicking like crazy. I have always wondered what the movements would feel like, now I know. It was weird at first, but now I anticipate it!

We had our 20 week checkup today, everything is right on schedule. He is growing and moving and his "boy part" is still there. Nope, it didn't fall off. We are so excited to have a boy!! We already have plans for the nursery and will start construction sometime next month. I have attached of my belly bump from today.

Sammy (the princess) had to be in the pic also!!! So far, only a 13lb gain! That is from the very beginning at the U of U - not to shabby! 9 lb since seeing my OB. I am pretty proud of myself. It was very weird seeing that number as my weight. I am kinda excited to see where I end up!

July 2nd!

I have made it official! July 2nd is my last day at R&O Construction..........(sigh)........YIPPEEE!!! I am so very excited! I have found a job to do from home (Thanks Nik! I owe you!). I am excited to start adjusting to home life now before the baby comes and I have so many projects I want to get started and started projects that are unfinished. I also can't wait to see the sunshine! I sit in the corner at work with no window, no sunlight, it sucks! Call me if you are headed to the pool are doing play dates! I want to come play!

Is it Hot in here??

While we were in Omaha I noticed a strange thing happening, I was having hot flashes. I panicked for a minute, I'm not old enough to go thru menopause! Oh yeah, I am prego! And HOT!!! Ever since Omaha, I am dying!! This weekend with all the wind and rain felt so good! It was nice and cool! Aaaahhhh!! (While Chris is bundle up saying it's cold! What does he know!) I am seriously hot 24/7 and I am loving it! I am always freezing cold! I sleep in the fan on and the window open while Chris looks like a burrito wrapped up in his blanket. So nice!! Bring on summer! Let's get HOT!

Excited!

Now that I know we are having a boy - I am ready!! I am ready to do the nursery! Buy some clothes and I am ready to pick out a name! I told Chris yesterday that I was sure we were having a girl, probably because I grew up with girls, no boys. ZERO! Didn't have brothers at all! So here we go! Lets get his boy here! I am so excited!

Here we go!!

I know I said I wanted a girl, but I am even more excited we are having a BOY!!! Oh the endless possiblities!! Chris is already planning on taking him hunting next year and he wants to buy him a gun when he is born!! Here we go!!

We are so suprised, we don't know any names!! If you have some you want to share, please do!

Belly Update

This isn't a very good picture, but Derek snuck one it at breakfast Saturday!! I am glad I didn't have a mouth full of food! We are almost to the half way mark! As of today we are 18.5 weeks! And hopefully we will know what we are having tomorrow morning, let's cross our fingers the baby will uncross it's legs this time!!

The belly is growing, but the only maternity clothes I have been wearing are shirts. Thank goodness for the belly band!! Everyone keeps telling me how comfy the maternity pants are, but I just can't bring myself to get any yet!

Movement

Houston - We have movement! I have to be sitting or laying down to feel it, but there is movement. I am surprised at how low the movement is. For some reason, I figured it would be higher (I know, give myself a couple months)! I don't know if they are feet or fists, but the baby is moving. The first time I realized what it was, I freaked, but now it's kinda interesting. Chris has become very jealous and wants to feel it way bad. He is constantly asking me "Can you feel it right now?"

Kellie asked me a question on my last post - Do I have "mom-nesia", the answer, YES!! I forgot small things at first, what was I supposed to take with me?? Oh yeah, we are supposed to go to dinner with your Mom? Now I forget everyday things!! I swear if my bra & underwear didn't have tags, I wouldn't know how to put them on. It's bizarre!! So I ask you - if you see me and I am wearing an outfit that is hideous or my makeup is done wrong, please don't leave me alone, come and save me!
