Any day now?

On Saturday, while I was deciding which kind of cheese I wanted, I heard a man say, "Any day now?" It took me a minute to realize he was talking to me. I look up, in disbelief. I smile as best I can and say, "Um, no. I still have 4 months before I'm due."

He then goes on to tell me that he has 2 kids. Really? Did your wife not teach you to make stupid comments to pregnant women?

He proceeds to tell me about how his kids were born in September and October, and how the summer before his one son was born, there was a heat wave with several days over 100 degrees and his wife was miserable, blah, blah, blah.

Um, yeah. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.

22 weeks

OK, so I have to stop wearing this shirt for pictures. It does not do the bump justice.

21 Weeks

20 Weeks, baby!

Woo Hoo!

Twenty Weeks!

We are half way there, and are really excited. (Sorry, we missed the 19 week pic, and I did this horrible one myself b/c hubby was away on a business trip. It will have to do).

Since the girls are sharing a room, I picked bedding for Mini Me and will coordinate this little girls crib bedding to match. We picked up the bedding yesterday and I just can't wait to decorate the room. Which, is where the problem lies.

We originally planned to just buy Mini Me a twin bed, and convert her bed back into the crib. We decided today that we would just get the conversion rails and let Mini Me keep her "bed" and we would get a new crib (the same one) for this baby. Long term, this is the smart thing to do as both children will have really nice full size beds that should last many more years. However...

The conversion rails and crib will not arrive for 10-12 weeks. Which means....10-12 weeks before I can redecorate the room. It's killing me to have the pretty bedding sitting here, in the box...and I can't do anything with it.

Oh, yeah. Actually, I am doing something with the quilt. I'm returning it.... Since when I ordered the bedding, we had planned on a twin bed for Mini Me, I got the twin size quilt. Now that she is going to have a full size bed, I have to return it to get a full size quilt. Oh, well. It's not like I need the quilt right now....

It's a...

GIRL!

The comments are starting already...

No, I'm not freakin' having twins!

Yes, I'm sure!

No, I'm not due until October 1st.

Yes, I know I still have the whole summer to go.

Yes, I know I'm "big" already. Thank you for noticing.

Big Ultrasound

So, today we had our big ultrasound.

The baby was not very cooperative, and they had a hard time getting the measurements they needed. It took forever...not that I minded laying there getting to watch the baby, but eventually the baby turned around and they were able to get what they needed. Mini Me and Daddy were there, and Mini Me kept asking that we put "Max and Ruby" on the tv, instead of the ultrasound. Guess she wasn't so interested in seeing the baby.

I am very happy to report that the baby looks fine and we were told that upon the initial report, everything looked well. We got to see the face, arms, legs, belly and all the organs. I even felt the baby kick and squirm and could see it on the monitor as well. It was fun.

I have some pictures I will scan and post on Tuesday.

Oh, yeah...and, you are probably wanting to know if it's a boy or girl, right?

Well, we do know and we will be sharing the information...next weekend.

18 weeks

Here is my 18 week picture. I don't look nearly as huge in this picture, but I assure you..I am. It's just the angle of the camera.

Oh, and the stats from our 18 week visit:

Heartrate: 163

My Weight: 153

Midwife was happy with my weight gain at this point!
