21 Weeks

How far along? 21 weeks, 6 days
Total weight gain/loss: I didn't have a chance to weigh myself at the beginning of the week due to being at Camp Thunderbird
Maternity clothes? I'm wearing maternity jeans and a top in this pic. I've bought a couple things but wasn't adventurous enough to wear them until today. I'm probably the only person excited to wear maternity clothes :)
Stretch marks? No, I keep putting the cocoa butter on hoping that will help.
Sleep: I didn't sleep very well this week but that may be due to the parent snoring next to me at Camp Thunderbird
Best moment this week: Sharing the gender of our sweet baby girl with our friends and family :)

Movement: Yes, I'm starting to feel movement daily!
Food cravings: Anything chocolate or sweet

Weekly wisdom: Be prepared before you go to register!!! I thought, "Oh, this won't be overwhelming." YES IT IS!!! Talk with friends that have children and do lots of research before going. Nathan and I went to register right after finding out the gender, but only put a few items on the list. We will go back later when we have done more research and have more time. :)
Looking forward to: Preparing the nursery

Nathan and I bought our first 'family' vehicle this week. It's a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. We've been researching for a while and decided this was the make and model that we wanted. So, it was up to finding the one that suited us the best. Anyway, we are glad to have one more thing crossed off the list.  I will try to post pics of it later this week.

Gender Revealing Party

  I know that you all have been anticipating this post....the gender revealing party! The party was a huge success thanks to our parents and Nathan. I could not have pulled it off if it weren't for all their help. So, THANKS again for everything you did!!!
   Okay, Okay I know you all want me to share the exciting news. Baby B. is a.....GIRL!
Nathan is already nervous about the amount of money that will be spent on clothes and accessories! I'm super excited to buy hair bows and cute dresses! 

I know it's kind of hard to see, but the inside icing is pink! :) 

Pink lips for a pretty little she

The lips and mustaches were a huge hit. The kids loved playing with them and 'planting' them in the backyard. 

Had to get a pic with the pom poms

   We had a blast at the party! Thanks to all who came to find out the gender of our sweet baby girl! Now comes the crazy part....picking out a name, decorating the nursery, and getting ready for the arrival of our precious little one. Time seems to be going slowly, but I know she will be here before we know it.
