17 weeks

So far so good this week! I've been feeling pretty great this week and eating everything in sight! My body seems to be hanging on to a pretty fast metabolism because I haven't gained any weight in 2 weeks, but I swear I'm trying!!

I've started doing some shopping for my registry which is a lot of fun! My friend Brenda gave me a great book called Baby Bargains that has been a huge help in narrowing down my options. We're waiting until we find out the sex of the baby to make any decisions about the baby's bedding and such. Hopefully that question will be answered on the 17th!

I was supposed to go shopping tomorrow morning for some work clothes with Taitia, but I think I'll be stuck at home due to the forecasted bad weather. Oh well, it will force me to do some overdue house cleaning!

16 weeks!

What a wild ride we have had so far. But my doctor said that she isn't worried so I'm going to do my best to relax and not worry either. She gave me a surprise ultrasound at my appointment yesterday and the baby looks great! It has really loooong legs and arms - this is going to be a tall child! Our next appointment is scheduled for December 17th (my 30th birthday!) at 9:30 am...and this will be for our BIG ultrasound where we hopefully find out if we're expecting a little girl or boy.

In the meantime, I'm trying to keep on the 5 pounds that I gained over the Thanksgiving holiday. This means 3 breakfasts, a lunch, 2 afternoon snacks, a dinner, and 2 evening snacks. Even with all of this food, I'm barely maintaining! I guess I won't be complaining when I'm 30 pounds heavier but for now...this is hard work!

Thriller baby!

Here's our 16 week ultrasound. I don't know about you, but I think the baby looks like he or she is trying to do the Thriller zombie dance!
