Week 22

Had a doctor's appt this week and it was very boring which is what we like the best. I've gained about 6 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight so I'm moving up in the world. My belly I feel like is getting bigger everyday and baby is kicking up a storm in here. She reassures me everything is ok quite frequently.

We've started the registry and man it is way more work than I expected. So many decisions to make but I've figured out that daddy to be would rather me make the decisions cause it's all so overwhelming when he looks at it all. So I figure saves us all some time haha. I've got tons of suggestions from people that it helps out when I just can't seem to decide.

We are also getting really super close to deciding on a name. I think we've got the first and now just working on the middle. Can't wait to tell everyone!!

In Feb, we've decided to go on what we call a 'babymoon.' All my girlfriends say to go somewhere fun before the baby comes. So I think we're either going to go to Victoria or the San Juans for a long weekend. We've found a few places we can take Lucy-Belle so should be fun and relaxing and will fit some spa time in as well...of course.

As I look at this pic here on my right it reminds me how high she really is. She's been kicking me more and more in the ribs and less and less down low. She's also been making me feel like I can't breath deep breaths at times as well. A little scary seeing I have 18 weeks left..... :)

Scott and I are taking yoga once or twice a week lately and I'm really liking it. I tried pre-natal but it's too boring at this point. Will maybe move to that in another month or so. We have a great instructor that gives me tips on what to do if I can't do some things so it's a great workout. We're also walking during the weekend and I"m really looking forward to spring so I can start walking after work but it still gets dark so fast.

More to come, we're getting really excited. I just can't wait to meet her and see what she looks like and what she'll be like and to snuggle with her...ughhh 18 weeks and counting. Love to all!!

Week 19

It's Week 19 and 6 days and daddy finally felt me kick. His face lit up like the sun. I kick mom all the time so I'm not sure why he's just now feeling me. But either way I'm so glad, now he knows I'm for real and mom can start working on her names she has picked out.

Here is a belly pic at 19.5 weeks. At about 18 I finally started to pop some so yeah it's about time!!!

Here is daddy being silly showing his belly at 19.5 weeks after eating all my leftovers :)

We also got such a fun gift from Great Aunt Helen today in the mail. Aunt Helen when Scott opened this I was at work and his reaction was priceless. He thought it was just soooo cute, the daddy one that is. On the back of the I love daddy shirt, it has a little heart on the butt that says "and daddy loves me." I love it, he's really starting to enjoy this process. It's not all toast and cereal anymore haha. We'll post next week some of the cute things we got from Christmas to show off. Until then.....
