Update

I know I have been a huge slacker at blogging lately. I have been so busy at work recently, I don't even want to get on the computer when I get home from work. I am just lazy mostly. I enjoy laying around and not doing much during the evenings. I have had a request for more posts about our baby and my baby bump, so here it goes. First off, my baby bump, is nothing to be too excited about. I still feel like I look more chubby than anything, but since it is annoying for pregnant women to say that, I will just say, my baby bump is rather small, and hardly distinguishable as a baby bump on some days. Here it is at 16 weeks.

I had Scott take this pic because a friend told me she wished she had taken pictures earlier, so even though, it isn't much to look at. I took the picture so I have it. Here is the picture of me at 19 weeks.

A little better here, but for some reason, only half of what I wear makes me look pregnant. I guess some of my clothes from when I weighed 20 lbs more hide everything a bit more. I know I should enjoy this time when I don't look obviously pregnant. Anyway, we got our ultrasound at 19 weeks and found out
I felt like it was a girl all along, but kept telling myself it is a boy because that is what Scott's family makes. He comes from a family of 4 boys and 5 out of 6 grand kids are boys. I'm sure she will be super spoiled and she will have Daddy wrapped around her little finger. Not to mention the grand parents. On both sides. Neither grand parents have a lot of grand kids in town, so they are both thrilled.
I am feeling much better these days. Still have rough days and time when I just don't feel that well, but overall I am feeling more normal (I don't think I will feel completely normal until after she is born). I love feeling her move. It is an awesome feeling. Mostly it is just little stirrings, but last night I got some good kicks when I turned too much on to my stomach. If I hadn't been trying to sleep it would have made me laugh. She is still so tiny, it is really special to feel her moving around in there.
No names yet. Scott and I really can't agree on anything. I like more classic names, or names that used to be nick names and he shoots them all down. I bought a name book and my sister has one she is going to let us borrow. I think Scott feels no rush to get the baby named, and it stresses me out that we don't have a name yet. Oh well, we will have one when it is absolutely necessary.
The first thing I bought when I found out we are having a girl is a crib set. Why? Who knows, but it is gorgeous and I got an awesome deal. It is red and brown and the red is an asian silky material. I will take pictures later. I am excited to have a nursery that is not a typical pink. I also got some cute flannel pink golf material I am going to make a little blanky out of. Just need to find something to put on the other side and a silky edge.Good times!
