My bellers


Ok, I know it doesn't look like much but I swear to you it feels huge. I snapped this pic today, i'm 22 1/2 weeks. I feel her moving and kicking like crazy, Jon can even feel her now (he's already suggesting jiu jitsu). Sometimes she sits on my sciatic nerve and I have been waking up during the night because my back hurts so bad. I don't know how i'm going to manage life when I actually have a big basketball to carry around! I'm not complaining though, my clothes are all still fitting which means I haven't ventured into maternity wear yet. Lucky the style is longer and flowey shirts, hopefully i'll never have to. Oh and looks like the "morning sickness" is finally letting up, i've only had 2 bad days in the past 2 weeks! I'm SO looking forward to the time when I can actually keep things down, turns out I have a cracked rib from throwing up so hard!! Needless to say, it'll be a LONG LONG while before pregnancy is even a thought again, i've already talked to the doc about an IUD ASAP!

sugar & spice & everything nice...



Pretty much everyone guessed right! We're so excited... well I can say Jon is *more* excited now. He had the ultrasound tech check more than once just to make sure it wasn't a boy. Did anyone else go through this?? In retrospec it's pretty funny but during the ultrasound I wanted to punch him! He was in complete denial and all he could say was "what am I going to do with a girl?". It's been over a week and he's accepted that yes we're having a girl and has started putting input into the nursery. He even went baby shopping with me this weekend. We've started thinking of names (since Jon wouldn't even humor me before we found out it was a girl). However we don't fully agree on anything. I'm totally open to input here... anyone have any good ideas??
Sorry no ultrasound pics, she was moving around so much that all of the still frames aren't so great. The actual DVD of the ultrasound is amazing! The ultrasound tech put it in 3D for awhile, but she was moving so much it's kinda blurry (and not too mention pretty creepy:)).
As for now i've picked out the crib, it's at Babinsky's and I LOVE IT. I've also narrowed down everything from the carseat to the highchair (doesn't hurt to be prepared.) I am having the HARDEST time with bedding, it seems like everything I would actually consider is around the $600 price point. Forget that! If anyone knows of any good places to get baby bedding let me know.
Oh on a side note, anyone else read the first chapter of BREAKING DAWN??? I can email it to you if not....
