Halfway Mark!

-I am officially at the halfway mark today, AND he's OFFICIALLY a he. Still don't know a name yet, I don't think about it too often to be honest.

-I'm still not that much bigger, people say I look small for where I am, but I measure correctly.

-Bog is still stupid and needs to be trained better. Although, I think he knows because when we go for a walk and someone walks by, he sometimes growls, where as before he would wag his tail and try to be pet by strangers.

-Today I scheduled a 4D ultrasound for only $160 which includes a dvd and 8 black and white photos!! AUg 30th can't wait!!

-I have a horrible sweet tooth.

I swear today

my belly got noticeably bigger, in one day...or in a couple hours? I didn't feel it was this big at work.

Belly pic 19 weeks 1 day!

granted i'm sitting so it looks bigger.

Tidbits

- Michael felt the baby kick from the outside for the first time today. I did last Sunday but haven't really since then until yesterday morning.

- Kicks are still sporadic, some days I feel it often, some days I don't. Sometimes I feel it the most only when I'm laying down, other times I can feel it sitting up.

- I feel like the animals are starting to know. Babies too. A baby today was very crabby and mean to everyone but kissed me goodbye out of nowhere. Hemi has been extremely nice and Bogart is way more careful about avoiding my tummy. Hemi follows me everywhere.

- My back hurts very easily while I'm sitting down. Sucks.

- My gums are starting to swell and sometimes bleed (it's normal, but not good).

- My appetite is slowly getting larger.

- Sometimes I'll be completely fine with not having to pee and then baby moves and BAM it feels like I'm bout to piss my pants! Theres never even that much pee, it sucks when that happens!

Cravings: double chocolate brownie fudge type ice creams

Finally really excited!

As sad as this is to admit, Mike had been looking at more baby clothes than me until Friday. Friday, I finally got super excited. Its the most random thing but I heard of a kohls coupon code so I decided to look at the baby stuff. I saw these cute long sleeve onesies (since baby will be here in November) and for some reason I just got SUPER excited!! I bought the following:

I thought these were sort of cute

The pants match all of these shirts

AND MY FAV/MOST IMPRACTICAL

Sonogram pic- 16 weeks

You can't tell, but his hand is over his nose/mouth and thats why he looks like a duck. I will get another ultrasound done around 20 weeks, where his bones will be more ossified and I believe he will have thicker skin. Hopefully I can see his face better!

Cruise was wonderful

I am too lazy to post pics, but they are on the internet! Here is a pic that I took last night, not a great one, and I am not as big as I look in the picture, but alas, here is my baby bump.

Also, I may be able to find out the sex tomorrow at 16 weeks! I will be going in for an ultrasound for something else, but they may be able to see! Keep your fingers crossed!
