Belly Pics

Well, there’s a first for everything, and here is the first time I show my pregnant belly without a shirt covering it! I’m not sharing these on Facebook, so only you special people you visit this site get to see these :)

I’m amazed that you can actually see a belly from the front! Below is a pic of my tummy when I found out I was pregnant next to my belly a few days ago. Sorry for the bad quality; I took these with my iPhone.



Yay for Baby! Today is 18 weeks and next midwife appointment is tomorrow! :)

Rump-a-rooz Showroom

On Saturday, Dave and I went to the grand opening of Rump-a-rooz’s showroom. It was a lot of fun and I came home with all of the above items: 16 lil Joey’s and a Leslie’s Boutique designer wet bag. And I got it all for only $238.17 after tax! That’s a savings of about $30, which means I got 2 free diapers! Woohoo!

The showroom was really cute and the owner of Rump-a-rooz is great. She had her son there who is only days away from his 1st birthday - he was the first baby to ever wear a lil Joey and hence the first model. I really love how close I live to the owners of the company because not only do I never have to pay shipping, but I’m supporting a local company. And I guess I’m just lucky to be able to refer to one of the best cloth diaper companies as a local :)

Here’s a few pics I took with my iPhone of the showroom.

Sunday Stats

Every Sunday, I will post my new weight and waist size as well as a new photo to show my progress.

These are my measurements the day I found out I was pregnant:
Weight: 110 lbs
Waist: 26’’

Today, I am little past 17 weeks pregnant.
Weight: 120 lbs
Waist: 34.5’’

I gained 10 pounds!! Today was the first time I’ve seen a 2 followed by the first 1 on the scale. And my waist has grown 8.5 inches?!?! Holy. Crap. The kicker is that Dave stepped on the scale after me... guess how much he weighs. Guess!! 123.5 POUNDS! I’ll pass him up in no time!

Ok, now for the picture :)



Grow Baby, grow!

Ultrasounds

Here are my previous ultrasounds. The one above is at 8 weeks. I love how perfectly centered Baby is :)

This next one is at 12 weeks.



In case it’s hard for you to tell what everything is, I made this nice little diagram to clear it up :)



OH! And I almost forgot! During the 8 week ultrasound we saw that Baby is already using an iPhone!



Our next ultrasound is scheduled for March 24th. I will be one day shy of 19 weeks. This will likely be our last ultrasound. This is the one where they do a full anatomy check to make sure everything is developing as it should. We could also learn Baby’s gender, but we’re gonna keep it a secret :) We were originally planning to have the big ultrasound at 20 weeks, but after the whole ER experience, both the ER doctor and our midwife wanted us to get in 4 weeks after that... which is on March 24. I’m really excited for our next ultrasound! Seeing Baby move around and kick is so awesome.

Welcome!

Welcome to my pregnancy journal! I’ve never done anything like this before, so we’ll see how it goes :) I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant and hope to use this space to document anything related to my pregnancy including the pregnancy itself, shopping, and parenting. After Baby is born, I will probably convert this into a blog about Baby. I hope to keep this separate from my primary blog but won’t be surprised if this one gets more love initially.

So there you have it, if you’re interested in following the progress of my pregnancy, check this page often or subscribe to the RSS feed. I’ll put up some “old” things like ultrasounds pics and such soon!
