Playing Catch-Up

So much has happened since the last time I wrote. I am very bad at being a blogger apparently. Anyhow, we had our 20 week ultrasound last week and IT'S A GIRL! I had a feeling since my whole family almost is comprised of girls. Gorgeous girls. =) ...and modest too. So that being said I'm pretty sure our daughter with the exception of being a fat baby will be quite a looker after she looses the two chins she is bound to have since Bill and I were both chunky babies. Oh and everyone needs to pray the baby gets Bill's metabolism. =o haha..



In the weeks prior to finding out about our little "lady bean" as Bill calls her we got to take a trip down to Orange County and also hang out for another weekend with Bill's grandmother.
During our trip down to Orange County we got to see my friend Nicole and her beautiful daughter Kayla at the beach. It was so fun... Bill is so good with kids.. probably because he still acts like one a lot of the time! haha.. in a good way! A few weeks before, Nicole and Kayla came up to our place and we had a lil sleepover and baked cookies. I think these two times hanging out with Kayla really made Bill interested in having a girl since Kayla is an awesome little lady to hang out with. After seeing Bill with Kayla I am definitely convinced he's going to be a perfect dad for a little girl.



Bill's Awesome Sand Castle!


There are some more pics from these times but I posted them on my Facebook page if you'd like to see em. Well, that's about it... I am generally feeling well and looking forward to the next few months. I will try to update this in a week or two and get some more pics of my growing belly on here. ..Until then...

Ugh...

As of now I am 17 1/2 weeks pregnant... and I caught the crappy cold that Bill had last week. I woked up with my nose completely stuffed up and thus I stayed home from work today to see if I can kick it. Its pretty bad though and I am really hoping I can make it in tomorrow as I really want to save my sick days.

I feel like I have felt little flutters this week but since this is my first child I am just not sure what I am feeling so I am just really excited about my OB appointment next week because I will get to hear the beans heartbeat again. We are really counting down to March 1st though at this point because I think we are both chaffing at the bit to find out the sex. Its hard to explain but I think finding out what we're having will bring a whole new reality to everything. Well, this one is short and sweet and you can bet your ass I am not going to be posting any pictures of me in this pathetic state of preggo sickness.. snot nosed, wearing my Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young tie-dye and black stretch pants with the hole in them. haha... um no.. but now you have a clear picture, wanted or unwanted of my current state. Hopefully next time I write I will be slightly more clear headed and less gross feeling. See ya next time...

My First Blog

This is my first blog ever in life. lol... amazing I know. It's 2010 already GOSH! Anyhoo, I figured I would start this blog since I am now 15 weeks, 6 days pregnant and I have not yet documented much of anything about this, my first pregnancy. So far aside from extreme bouts of paranoia and mild episodes of crazy this pregnancy has been relatively easy. The beginning was a little weird though.. I started this pregnancy out with a lot of cramping and a bad UTI which I had never had before so it was pretty scary. Now though, I have been great and we are just eagerly waiting to find out what we are having. March 1st is our 2nd trimester ultrasound so this will most likely be the big day! At this point neither one of us really care what we will have as long as its healthy. I know Bill kinda is pulling for a boy but after seeing how wonderful many of our friends daughters are he's becoming more comfortable with the idea of having a girl. Anyway, I wanted to end this first short blog with a pic from my birthday/ holiday party last month when I was about 9 weeks pregnant. (See right) =)
