What Else: We surprised our family on Easter by announcing that we were having a girl. I had thou i had dropped subtle hints all around the house - pink tulips, pink lemonade but no one guessed. I had also baked a pink ombre cake and as we cut in everyone knew immediately. Sawn and I started our registry which was VERY overwhelming.....I found it easier to do most of it online rather than in store. And, we put together both the bassinet and crib, loving both!

Impatience

I couldn't take it any longer. I caved and bought my first clothes for the Baby. Super cute, even if "gender neutral."



Also, I found a great deal on my dream Diaper Bag on eBay.

20 Week Bump Update

Again, ignore the photo quality. We will need to teach Shawn how to use the camera prior to Baby's arrival. I officially am "showing." Weather or not I look pregnant or fat is still a debate.

Stats
Baby Size: Small Cantaloupe - 6.5in 10.6oz
Total Weight Gain: at lest 8lbs
Maternity Clothes: Most jeans are now not fitting without the Belly Band, it is almost easier to wear maternity jeans but I feel as if they make me look "more pregnant". Still getting by with most regular tops. Getting anxious for nice weather to wear all of the cute maternity dresses I have purchased.
Food Cravings: Sweets :-( last week I ate the aforementioned Red Vines, as well as a milkshake.
Food Aversions: none
New Symptoms: same old
Movement: YES! It is pretty indescribable and nothing like I imagined. It is still pretty sporadic though.
Belly Button: In
Gender: Unknown
Best Moment of the Week: Feeling Baby move and buying a stroller and some clothes.
What I'm Looking Forward To: Finding out the gender so that I can start decorating the nursery!
What I Miss: The SUN! (nothing to do with pregnancy)
What Else: Got a killer deal on a stroller AND car seat! I was originally thinking I waned the Bugaboo ($1000) but read reviews that it was difficult to fold and not ideal for suburban living. I then had my heart set on the UppaBaby Vista ($700). Well, over the weekend I made a stop by Merry-Go-Round in Bellevue, and they had a deal running for 20% off the Britax-Be-Ready as well as a FREE Car Seat. It is very similar to the UppaBaby, maybe not quite as stylish, but for more than 1/2 the price I couldn't pass this deal up. VERY EXCITED!
