20 Week Update
It's hard to believe but I'm now halfway through the baking! Sure seems like things are moving fast. This week my parents were in town for Thanksgiving. I have to say, being pregnant for Thanksgiving was one of my better ideas :) As usual everything was delicious and we've had a fun few days in Pensacola. It involved a lot of eating, which may partially explain the belly expansion this week:

19 Week Update
This week I actually have exciting news to share: It's a boy! We really enjoyed the ultrasound on Thursday and got to see Mark Jr. (temporary name) squirming around a lot. He gave us a good wave and yawn. It's amazing what they can see on ultrasounds these days. Everything looked great, everything measured exactly where it needed to be and we had a strong heartbeat. Here are the pics:
Profile
Face (the face is on the right, and is sideways; the two dark spots on the right are the eyes)
Feet! They are right under my belly button so that explains why I've felt so much movement in that area.
It's definitely a boy :) He almost didn't cooperate but the ultrasound technician was able to get him in the right position.
We're looking forward to Thanksgiving this week, my parents are coming up for the annual Mom feast. I'm very excited about Thanksgiving this year, especially since my early nausea has turned into a large appetite :)
And here is the bump pic (Tella wanted to make an appearance this week). I think it's getting rounder, which is hard to get in a picture. It might get bigger next week after all that turkey!

18 Week Update
Not much news to report this week on the baby front. I've had a lot more movements today, which is a fun game. They are getting easier to distinguish from random other things going on in my gut, ha. Here's the latest bump pic:
I feel like I'm working up to a big expansion since I've been pretty hungry the last few days and my belly button really itches. But I can't tell a huge difference between last week and this week.
A few weeks ago, we hit up a big consignment sale where people bring in all their old baby/kid stuff and sell it in a big warehouse. We did pretty good. We didn't get tons of things (waiting to find out the gender before we go crazy), but we did score some mega deals on some of the more expensive items. Here's the haul:
That's a car seat (a nice one too), some swaddling blankets, a set of crib sheets, some bottles, a breast pump, and a high chair that attaches to a regular chair. So it was worth the trip up to Pace, it saved us several hundred dollars!
Coming up next week, the 18 week ultrasound. Just for fun, I thought I'd throw up a poll to see what people thought we were having:

17 Week Update
Coming up on 17 weeks, which is scarily close to halfway! I had a doctor's appointment on Thursday and everything is going smoothly. What's more exciting is that I scheduled my appointment for the big 18 week ultrasound where we'll get another look at the bean and know if it's a girl or boy! So in a couple weeks we'll have more exciting news.
As promised, here is the weekly bump picture:
Think it got bigger? Still feeling well. It's nice to feel more normal, even if it's hard to find clothes that fit :)
In other news, Mark and I have been working on some house projects one of which involved moving the washer and dryer out of the kitchen into the hall and making a sweet pantry. We finished the pantry today so now I have lots of room to fill up with stuff:
I'm pretty excited about this. So we were productive with our extra hour today. Back in a week!
