I can't believe we are already this far! In a week on Thursday, August 19th, we will have the big anatomy ultrasound and if the baby cooperates we should find out if it's a boy or a girl! We can't wait.
In this picture I put out the baby's stuff we have accumulated so far. My Grandmother sent us a blue outfit and a pink outfit around week 10. She then lectured us to be patient about finding out what we were having. Ummm who is buying clothes already? The crocheted blanket in the picture is also the one she made for me when I was 16. She's so much fun! The little cow onesie is from my parents and the zebra and bunny book I bought. I actually have bought a few (okay A LOT) of books for the baby but only put this one in the photo. When you see the baby's stuff you can definitely see where my priorities are. Soft fuzzy stuffed animals and books. What else could it want?!
What folks think we are having:
- Mark and I have no hunches whatsoever
- Based on the baby's heart rate so far our dad's have been saying girl
- My friend "psychic Sara" swears it's a boy
- When we showed Bou the two outfits he grabbed the little boy's outfit
- My friend Staci, who has three girls, took a look at me today and said girl for sure
- Sassie seems to be removing the tag from the little girl outfit in this picture
- My cousins that are pregnant are having boys this fall so I don't know what that does to our odds I just think it's interesting
- And finally my Grandmother swears she sees more than one baby in the first ultrasound photo so...
We really don't care if it's a boy or a girl. I'm sure we will freak out next Thursday to whatever we see on the ultrasound! Please keep next week in your prayers as what we really want to see next week is a healthy baby.
She's got her legs crossed over her chest even with all the room she has. I sit like this all the time. Welcome to back pain baby girl!
And best of all everything looks perfect! We'll post more later. YEA!!!!!!!!!!
Well there is the 18 week belly for you. I feel like this weekend I am starting to look pregnant. I'm sure that's making some of yall laugh but it finally feels considerably different for me. The weirdest part though is that I am more comfortable in my regular pants now than I was a month or so ago. I guess the early bloating is gone and what I have is now all baby (and all that comes with that). My doctor said last week that she thought she wouldn't see me in regular clothes at the next appointment though. I think she's probably right. And speaking of appointments TWO DAYS till the big ultrasound!!!

Not much new going on in the Teddy bump watch. This picture is again taken in the morning. I have started gaining weight so stand by. I'm sure it will pop pretty soon! 
My friend Sara has been giving me grief for the nonexistent belly pictures. I have been taking them in the morning, before eating, so that I can tell what is just from Teddy. I've also been flashing her my new super weird maternity pants that she thinks I shouldn't wear yet! So this is for her! My old pants fit but aren't comfortable anymore and the maternity ones are too big but I don't have to remember to button them back up when I see people so that's my pick! I may not have a big belly yet but there is just no where for things to spread out anymore. It all sticks out. By the way, I tried the belly band things and didn't like it. Too tight for me.
