20 weeks 2 days

Half way there!
We went to an appointment yesterday and did another ultrasound, and its still a girl! Yay! I've felt from the beginning it was a girl.
Yesterday during her ultrasound she was kicking and flipping all around! It was really cool to see her moving around since last time we had to try and wake her up by poking my stomach, which only woke her for a second (enough to see the sex) then she was asleep again.
She was measuring right at 20 weeks and we got some cool pics.
I thought I could feel her moving around the last couple days but wasn't sure if it was her or just my bubbly stomach.
Last night I woke up about a million times (annoying) and one of the times I could defiantly feel her pressed up right below my bellybutton kicking away. It was so cool.
Ive gained a few more lbs, according to my bathroom scale im up to 116.
No strong or strange cravings, just fruits and veggies calling my name. I always have apples in stock, but I really want a juicy peach or a nectarine. Only problem is if I remember to buy them when im at the store they're all eaten within a day or two.
Oh Ive also been eating alot of celery with peanut butter, yuuuuummm!

Names are to hard to think of and agree on!

Suckers

I go onto parenting.com pretty often to look at names, and nursery ideas, and whatnot. Today I was looking at my 18 week stats and they had a tip of the day:

Todays Tip
If you're not the oldest of six kids or didn't babysit all the way through high school, you may be feeling a little nervous about how you'll care for this baby after he makes his big debut. Relax! Some hands-on experience is the best way to build up your new-mom confidence. If you have a close pal with a baby, ring her up and book a day of sitting -- complete with a 101 lecture in all the major essentials, like diapering, feeding, and strollering -- all before she skips out the door.

Ha ha! I win! I am the oldest of 6 kids, so I dont have to worry about a thing :-)

Baby Shopping Extravaganza

Dad and Bea drove up to see me and Sierra over spring break. And since we found out we're having a....


GIRL!!!!!

we went over to Babinski's in SL and went a little crazy with all the cute baby stuff.

Socks that look like little sneakers, in all different colors cute little booties!

This little onesie has snails on it
this cute camo dress actually came from Cabela's... showing her Heber roots

And this moses basket was so sweet and soft. This will be here first bed :-)

Thanks so so so much Dad, she's one spoiled baby!

New Belly Pics

Here I am at 15 weeks (last wednesday)

I dont see a "bump", but I definatly think I look a little thicker :-)

14 weeks

My friend Mischa and I went to this AWESOME baby store called Babinski's in SL today. It had the cutest stuff!!!! Pretty expensive, but im sure its all worth it :-) I didnt buy anything, im sticking to my goal of finding out what we're having first









They had this cool highchair, it had hydraulics or something so you can make it shorter or taller... I think. I like that it is all plastic though, so it would be way easy to clean.




These paintings they had were really cute, for a girls room of course. But they wouldn't really match the bedding that I found there.

Out of all the bedding that Ive seen I always find cute boy bedding. This is the only girl bedding I have found that I even like, and I love love love it.

And I love the little mobile with the birds

The cutest thing in the entire store were these pink (and also come in equally cute gold) sandals!

If I have a girl I will DEFINATLY be going back to get her a newborn pair to wear this summer, and a pair for next summer :-)

I had my ultrasound a couple weeks ago and everything looked fine, so cysts or anything.

Here's the newest pics of Ziggy-Zig, I think it was 12 weeks

10 weeks 6 days

I think babies in teacups make the cutest pictures!

See example A & B :-)

I had a check up yesterday and they said everythings looking good, except I lost 3 lbs. I really dont know how, I think ive been eating 24/7.

I think maybe ive just been eating smaller portions then usual because i start feeling yucky if i get to full.

Then he put the gew on my stomache to find the heartbeat, and he said he didnt know if he'd be ablle to hear it because im thin, and only at 10 weeks.

Dont you think you would be able to hear it better on a thin women then going through more layers on a thick women? Aparently not. He couldnt hear it, so he said to make another appointment in 2 weeks, because at 13 weeks you should definatly be able to hear it.

Then I got to ask some questions, and he said I would be fine at work around all the chemicals, just as long as i have a fan or some ventialtion on.

I asked him what I shouldnt eat and he just said as long as im not drinking, smoking, or doing drugs that was good with him. Bring on the crab leggs!!

I told him i'd been having pain on my right side if I lay on it at night, so he decided to have me come in for an ultrasound next week to see if i have a cyst on my right overy or something. Also they'll be able to see the heartbeat on there so I wont have to go in at 13 weeks. He didnt sound worried at all about it, and told me just to get the ultrasound sometime in the next week, so im not worried about it.

I have been sooo goood, I havent bought one single item baby related since I found out I was preggo. Im really holding out until I know the sex, then Ill probably go a little crazy.

One thing I really want though is a baby sling. You can get some way cute ones, and it just looks so easy and comfortable, like heres my baby in a little papoose and I can still pick things up and move around.

Also Ive been wondering about diapers. I found a website called www.gdiapers.com and they sell washable diapers with a flushable/biodegradeable insert that is supposed to biodegrade in 50-150 days instead of the 500 YEARS it takes to biodegrade a normal, mostly plastic made diaper.

Now I dont know how much a package of regular diapers cost, these run about $50 for a box of just over 100 diaper inserts. Is that good?
