We are having a...

BOY. We are thrilled! We had our big u/s last week and little boy Mason is meauring a full 8 ounces! He's basically a glass of water right now. The Dr. measured his spine, arms, legs, kidneys, heart, brain and everything looked perfect. We told Reg's grandparents this weekend and they were so happy to hear about their favorite (and only) great grandchild. He's really been moving a lot since this past week, I think he is excited that he can finally be out of the closet and does not have to hide his gender anymore. I will upload some pictures soon. Next week, 5 months! Halfway there!

18 Weeks Today!

Everyone keeps telling me that time has gone by so fast. Sure. Seems like just last year I found out I was pregnant. We have our big u/s this week! I'm nervous as I have not gained any weight yet and I hope little Bean isn't planning on staying the size of a little bean until birth.

How far along: 18 weeks
Weight gain/loss:2.5 lbs STILL!
Maternity clothes? Yes, wearing mostly maternity clothes now as nothing fits.
Stretch marks? Not yet
Sleep? The full hour to hour and a half I get at each night are really satisfying
Best moment this week? Feeling baby move a lot
Food cravings: Anything salty/pickled, pizza, Italian, Doritos, olives!
What I am looking forward to? May 4th! Big ultrasound!
Complaints: Back aches, headaches, no sleep

We're All Moved In!

What a busy few weeks we have had! I had to travel for a week to the Gulf Coast for work and Reg was a great help and moved a lot of the stuff to our new apt. while I was gone. Last weekend, Shawn Jones was great and came down and helped move all the heavy furniture. Thanks Shawn! Everything is finally in and the other apt. is cleaned and closed up! New Chapter for us! This past weekend we spent a lot of time organizing, cleaning and doing laundry. Hooray for a washer and dryer!

Let's see, what has happened baby-wise since my last update? Well, I *think* I felt little Bean move around 16 weeks but I was not sure. I felt bubbles and I'm pretty sure it was not the Chimp. Cue: Don Ho singing "Tiny Bubbles." As the weeks have progressed, I have felt almost a tickling feeling under my belly button. I'm pretty sure now that's Bean in there causing a stir. He/she seems to like it when i ingest a lot of ice cream. We already have so much in common!
