18 Weeks is now 19 Weeks....

This Week

So we had our mid ultrasound this week and Miles is doing perfect! And to our huge surprise he's going to be coming a week earlier than we had originally planned! Our new due date is February 21, 2013. Which puts me at 19 weeks instead of being at 18 weeks like we thought. How exciting! Maybe that can explain my quickly growing belly...I said maybe!

Baby G

  • Weight gain: a total of 9 lbs
  • Best moment of the week: seeing Miles perfectly healthy!
  • Any movement: soccer involves some pretty hard kicks
  • Cravings: candy corn heh
  • Gender: BOY!!
  • Belly button in or out: it is officially on its way out
  • Happy or moody mostly: happy!
  • Looking forward to: our baby growing day to day

My Growing Belly

My belly literally has growth spurts at night. It's crazy to wake up and find myself even bigger than the day before. It's a million freaking degrees out so I stay indoors at a comfortable 70 degrees, but today I decided to brave it for a swim. It was niiiiiiiiiice. And it is a sweet reminder to what it feels like to not carry around a growing cantaloupe in my belly. Love you Miles :)

17 Weeks

This Week

Wow I can't believe how much baby has grown! To think that only ten weeks ago baby was only a small dot on the screen living off of a yolk sac and now he does karate in my belly with a full functioning placenta! Crazy. My mom and I went to a baby expo this weekend and it was so much fun!! We got the registry completed and it was so nice to have my mom give me first hand advice on what we'll need or not which made it so much easier to go through the millions of baby things. And once we got to the baby clothes grandma bought half the store! He's a spoiled little one and he still has twenty two more weeks to go in my belly!

Baby G

  • Weight gain: a total of 8 lbs at this point
  • Best moment of the week: a tie between my mom taking me to the baby expo and Aunty Lora coming into town!
  • Any movement: his kicks are getting harder and all over
  • Cravings: my dads cooking
  • Gender: BOY!!
  • Belly button in or out: well it's not out yet
  • Happy or moody mostly: happy!
  • Looking forward to: my mid-pregnancy ultrasound

My Growing Belly

So lucky me, my best friend came down last minute and we got to meet her for dinner! Made my whole week! I wish she lived closer because I need me some Lora time!! She had an amazing time bonding with baby miles though :)
