Week 20!!!!!! Halfway!!

I am so thrilled to be halfway!!! Seems like I have been pregnant forever and I CANNOT wait to meet our little girl!!! I am hoping that this last half will go by a little quicker than the first!!
We went in for or 20 week ultrasound and everything looked great! She is getting more squished in there and can't move nearly as much as the previous ultrasounds! They also told us that she is measuring about a week early. It would be so nice if she was a little early but I am for sure not going to get my hopes up!!
This week I got the whole nursery cleaned out and ready to go! It used to be the office but we just finished our basement so we moved the office down there! The nursery is now ready for paint!! So I will be getting to that in the next couple weeks!
For our 20 week celebration Dusty and I went and registered at Buy Buy Baby! We had a blast! It was so fun. We were there for about 4 hours and towards the end we were definitely burned out! We ended up registering for 191 items and what is scary about it is they are all pretty much necessary!! These little ones need a lot of gear!:)
After we were finished registering we went up to the City Creek Mall and had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and Dusty took me shopping! I had to get some longer shirts and such. What is so nice about the style now is that I don't think that I will have to buy any maternity clothes!! So I just went shopping at the places I normally would but it for sure is a challenge to feel as excited about new clothes when I can tell where I have grown!! Can't wait to get back to my normal diet and exercise routine!
This week has also been great because I have started to feel actual kicks!! They are not very consistent but it seems that she likes to dance around most after dinner when I lay down and when I am in bed!! I love feeling her move so much! It is so comforting! I am so excited to feel more and more from her:)
This week my mom and I both had dreams about what she looked like and crazily enough we both had the same image from what it sounds!! She had big blue eyes and auburn hair and lots of it! I always pictured a little girl with blonde hair up until this dream! Cant wait to see what she really looks like!
20 down 20 to go!! I will post a belly pic in the next couple days!!

Weeks 17 & 18

Well here I am again trying to catch up on some posts!!
Time seems to go super fast when I think about the last time I posted but slow in every other aspect!!
Weeks 17 and 18 were a blast!! We have been continuing to shop for Isabella which has been so fun, I also have the whole nursery drawn up and ready to get started on!! I am trying to hold off for a few more weeks so I won't be finished with everything and just waiting around to go into labor:/


For week 18 we got to go to Mexico!! We had so much fun and it was so nice to get away and just be distracted for a little while!! It was a little different of a mexico vacation being pregnant. More relaxing and soaking up the sun! Just what I needed! Not to mention my bikinis were a little bit tighter!!  I also started feeling a little better around this time. Traded out the morning sickness for major heartburn, but I'll take the trade I guess!! 

We also went in to Fetal Foto again this week right after getting back from our trip! I just wanted to make sure that all was good after all the traveling! She was doing great, being her active little self :) I can tell though that she is running out of room and thinking my belly will for sure POP soon! She is also still a girl!! haha comforting to hear that again:))


How far along? 18 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 7 lbs gained -
Maternity clothes? None yet. But it was so nice to be in Mexico and wear dresses and skirts!! So comfy!
Stretch marks? No

Best moment this week: Started to feel baby girl move this week! Little flutter here and there but nothing consistent yet.
Miss Anything? WELL since we were in Mexico this week I'm going to have to say by body!
Movement: Flutters!!
Food cravings: No cravings, just trying to stick to bland food that don't give me as bad of heartburn!.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not eating right when I am hungry!
Have you started to show yet: I would say yes!! I feel a lot thicker through my waist and by belly is for sure noticeable to those who know I am pregnant. No one that doesn't know can tell quite yet though
