do you remember that episode of "i love lucy", where lucy's pregnancy was written up in the paper, making ricky feel left out of the whole process? "infanticipating". ha!
so we had our second ultrasound this morning, and we saw girl parts! the bean wasn't being too cooperative at first, but after a little poking and shaking, she finally moved just enough to confirm it. it was really cool to see her little hands and her mouth opening and closing, and watch her strong little heart just pumping, pumping away. she's 13 ounces right now and 21 weeks, 2 days along. she's quite the active little squiggle-butt, too - we have a gymnastics performance on a regular basis now. her daddy got to feel the craziness for the first time last thursday :) that was pretty neat.
i also confess to feeling a little alarmed when i stepped on the scale at the doctor's office today and found that since my last appointment a mere TWO weeks ago, i'd managed to pack on seven pounds. now, i realize that's a good thing, and that i'm SUPPOSED to be gaining weight. but the vain girl in me is freaking out. i glanced at the scale and also realized that before the whole thing is over, they'd be moving that other bar over one notch. EEK. i know, i know, shut up. [sigh]
i'm off to buy more bagels, crunch berries, and hopefully pick up some maternity jeans. every time i unbutton and unzip my jeans in the car, the hub looks at me sideways and says "are you going to go and get some maternity pants NOW?"
well, if that means it's okay to go shopping......

You're totally like my CW with the "no appetite" thing, yet she's not due until October, and she's already wearing maternity clothes. (Lucky for her, our other CW who just had a baby in April gave her all of her awesome clothes, including some maternity Citizens of Humanity and Seven jeans!)
ReplyDeleteShopping...? Go for it! You'll be one stylish preggers, of that I'm certain. :)

Hi, I am currently pregnant with my first baby. I want some maternity jeans for me. Because I love to wear jeans. That time One of my cousins suggest me to visit this site. When I enter this site, I found here lots of collections of maternity jeans. And these are comfortable for wearing.
