IT'S A GIRL!!

Well you definately didnt hear it here first, but between my work, taking care of skyler after his shoulder surgery, and making death by chocolate brownies, i havent had much time to blog. We found out monday that we are definately expecting a baby GIRL!! WOOOOO HOOOOO!! I am SO excited. Skyler is... also... excited. It took him a couple hours to come around but is adjusting to the idea fairly well. We are now in search of the perfect girl bedding that isnt "too pink" ... and he definately has an opinion. I think we have finally narrowed it down to two.
We made a second attempt at the baby registry creation at babies R us... after a Mcdonalds cup full of captain and sprite he VERY WILLINGLY let me scan some pink items and complete the WHOLE registry. I was REALLY happy to get it done! (so for the record we are registered at Target and Babies R Us) :)
anywho back to the anatomy scan, baby Davis is healthy and growing. Im feeling lots of kicks and rolls in there, and should be felt from the outside here in the next couple of weeks. SO EXCITING! I have only gained 2 pounds, and am under doctors orders to "eat whatever sounds good" to try to put some weight on. HENCE THE DEATH BY CHOCOLATE BROWNIES BAKING RIGHT NOW. They take two hours to set before i can taste... absolutely worth staying up an hour past my bedtime for....
Please excuse me while I devour half the pan. Heres some updated pictures. Baby and the belly. almost 19 weeks... cant believe it!!

here she is!! 18 WEEKS

little baby butt... its a girl!!

Getting there.

I had my 16 week appt yesterday and it went really well. The BEST part of the news is our anatomy scan was scheduled for April 18th at 11:30 am... one and a half more weeks we can say ITS A... girl or boy. !! so excited. Babys heartbeat is going strong at 155 bpm, which the dr says is great. I got the results from my first trimester bloodwork and everything came back normal (MORE YAYS)
Lets talk about cravings.
I was standing in the kitchen last night making waffles and bacon. (My 1 week craving of belgian waffles could not be satisfied by one breakfast so we invested in a waffle iron... smart decision.) I devoured two waffles and 4 slices of bacon and found myself wanting something else. I opened the pantry *as i eye the spaghetti sauce...* "baaaaabe? are you hungry for spaghetti??" whoever hasnt eaten waffles with a side of spaghetti is crazy... its DELICIOUS. Ill add to the list sour pickles (only to be found at harris teeter) as ell as cheeto puff curls and sausage biscuits and gravy. *DROOL* my mouth is literally watering as I type this. They werent joking when "cravings" was added to the list of pregnancy symtoms. it is a SERIOUS matter that has to be addressed as soon they arrive. otherwise you will be waking up at 2 am to pee and thinking about pickles and sausage. *more drool.*
Speaking of waking up at night. Dear lord my hips. I feel like a 100 year old lady. I spent 3-4 nights tossing and turning and waking up in the most awful pain imaginable 8-9 times a night before I drug my large pregnancy pillow back in the bed. Sorry Skyler, (he says it takes up 3/4s of the bed) I cant sleep without it anymore. Thanks baby davis for adding elastin to my joints and giving me hip pain. Problem solved. Skyler can fit on 1/4 of the bed, hes a dude. :)
Thats about all the update for now. Got another belly picture here... 16 weeks 2 days and growing... Ill be reaching for the maternity shirts in another week im sure... half my shirts look like an elementary school student lent me their clothes. WAY. TOO. TIGHT.
1 and a half weeks counting down!!



Update!

Everything has been so non eventful that I havent really written anything... I did go back to my OB for some bloodwork (routine stuff) and they moved my due date AGAIN to Sept. 19. So were back to the 15 (now almost 16 week) mark. THANKS FOR MY WEEK BACK! Nothing much going on in there except a couple (make that 4) baby roll arounds.... so exciting to feel something! Should be another 2 weeks or so before baby can be felt on the outside. We should be finding out around April 18 or so the gender for SURE this time. Our nursery furniture has YET to arrive. sigh. I will NEVER order from jcpenney again. To quote my mother "IM GOING TO WRITE A LETTER!" haha. that'll be the day!
Im FINALLY going to post a belly pic, since theres semi-something to look at now. This is from the FIRST day of week 15. I swear its getting bigger everyday. We had one nice day last week and I tried to squeeze into my cute summer dresses. Ya no... I looked like a pregnant summer slut. Oh well. So here ya go:
