21 Weeks...

Brian says I still don't look pregnant. I think he's blind.

I'm starting to feel pregnant! My belly is starting to get in the way.

We registered this weekend...twice! The lost everything the first time registered. But we are registered now!

Baby girl is moving around like crazy! Brain got to feel her move this weekend!

Here's this week....                                               Here was about 12 weeks ago or so...

The bump is growing!

20 Weeks!

It's a girl!

We were both quite shocked. We had it in our minds that it was going to be a boy. She will be loved just the same, though :)

Last night we bought a pack n' play, high chair, stroller, swing, and a monitor. Babies 'R Us had a coupon for 20% off...so we couldn't resist! We went with a turquoise color scheme. I know it's not a girly color, but neither of us like the whole pink thing. We can always accent with girly colors! Plus, if we have another baby in the future, we thought turquoise was a gender neutral color.

Anyway...baby is about the size of a banana! I can't believe how big she is already! The first 20 weeks went fast, and I'm sure the next 20 weeks are going to go fast!

The ultrasound went great! She looks like she growing just fine!

I still don't think I look like my bump has grown much, but I'm sure it will start popping out more soon!

Brian is still working like crazy...so don't mind my crappy picture! 

19 Weeks!

We find out Friday if the baby is a boy or a girl!!! Ahhhhh!!!

Can you tell how excited I am???

I hope the baby cooperates!

My bestie is having a girl! I'm super happy for her and her hubs!

Speaking of hubbies...mine has been working for 2 weeks straight. Poor guy! So I had to get inventive about how I was going to take this weeks picture. I put at tv tray on top of our dining room table. It worked! Brian takes better pictures, but I don't want to bother him with taking a picture when he gets home.

A few people have asked me about cravings. I haven't had any specific cravings, but I keep going back to buffalo...anything really! Right now I have some buffalo chicken in the crock pot for lunch this week. It smells sooooo good! I want to eat it right now!!!

I've finally realized that what I thought was the baby moving was really the baby! I think I actually started to feel the baby around 16 weeks, which is a little early for first time moms. I specifically remember being in a meeting teacher work week and feeling the baby kick! It's so neat!

Anyway, picture time!

Here's this week......                                                  Here was last week.....

I still don't feel like I look "really pregnant". I think in the next few weeks I'll pop out more....I hope! 

What's your guess? Is Baby Wilson a boy or a girl??

18 weeks

I'm late again.

Forgive me!

Brian was working all weekend so I couldn't take the picture yesterday. I told myself I would do it today after work, but I went for a walk with my friend and knew I wouldn't be looking too good ;) I had Maria take a picture of me before our walk.

Since I didn't do a board this week this is what's going on with the baby this week:
*Baby is the size of a sweet potato
*It's about 5.6 inches long and 6.7 ounces

                                  Here's this week.....                                       Here's last week....

I don't think there's a lot of change going on....I think now that I'm more active at work I'm not packing on the pounds like I was! I'm getting some people saying that I don't look pregnant and some saying "ooooh! look at your bump!" So, I'm not sure which to believe! 

11 more days until we (hopefully) find out if baby is a boy or a girl!!!

One more funzies...

9 weeks vs. 18 weeks!

17 weeks

I'm a day late and a dollar short. Sorry!

I went back to work this past week. We didn't have kids yet, but let me tell you, I was exhausted!!!!! I can only imagine what this week/month is going to be like. Going back to work is always exhausting, but carrying a baby too is just too much!

We are getting excited about our next ultrasound...18 more days until we find out if Baby Wilson is a boy or a girl!

Brian and I did scope out Babies-R-Us this weekend. We wanted to walk around a bit so that we don't get so overwhelmed when we go to register. I even got Brian to push a stroller around...it was too cute!

Anyway, onto the pictures!

I just thought the 2nd one was funny :)

16 weeks!

It was a busy weekend here! My dad and step mom came to visit. We visited a few museums and enjoyed each others company.

I found out, not this week, but last week, that our Down Syndrome blood work was all within normal limits. Phew!

We had a doctors appointment this past Friday. Dad and Cindy were about to come and they heard the heart beat too! It was about 160 beats per minute. I just think it's the coolest thing to hear the heartbeat, and it's reassuring too! We had some more blood work done to scan for other complications like spina bifida. The doctor said that no news is good news, so I hope not to get a phone call!

We also set our appointment for our 20 weeks ultrasound! We get to see (hopefully) if the baby is a boy or a girl on September 20th! We can't wait!

Onto the bump!

                           Here's this weeks photo!                                                 ...and last weeks...

I think I'm looking a little more rounded and not so much pudgy! I'll take it! The doctor also measured my bump and said I was right on track with the size!

I'm heading back to work tomorrow...hopefully I'll have the energy to keep going all day!

15 weeks!

15 weeks...that feels a lot closer to 20 weeks....which is when we find out what we are having!!! I can't wait!

We have some more blood tests this Friday, but I'm hoping to hear the heart beat during our visit. It was super cool to hear it the last time! My dad and stepmom will be in town, so I'm hoping they will be able to hear it too.

The visit with my mom was wonderful and too short! We had a blast together! I wish we lived closer especially since this is her first grand baby!

On another note...I feel like I'm gaining too much weight too fast. My guess is that I've probably gain 3-5 pounds more than I should have at this point. I keep telling myself that prepregnancy I always gained weight in the summer. So, I'm hoping going to back to work and keeping busy will slow down the weight gain a little bit.

Speaking to the above, I think this is why my belly is probably looking a little bigger than it should right now...but oh well. I'm not going to fret over it too much. I have two photos this week...I changed it up a little.

Before you look....don't judge that I put the wrong fruit comparison on there...it should be an orange....we already did the peach...seriously! Baby brain is getting the best of me!

Which one do you like better?

The usual way...or...

Wow! Does it look big! 

On another note...I wish regular jeans were like maternity jeans....soooo comfortable!!
