Well, Im really starting to feel pregnant now. Im actually starting to show a bit. This starts an all new adventure----maternity clothes! I don't like them. Yeah, they are supposed to be more comfy and all, but Im most comfy in jeans and a t-shirt. That is usually what you will still find me wearing unless I have to work. I have to look "nice" at work, so Ive had to get a few maternity shirts. I can still wear my pants as long as I have my trusty Bella Band. It is awesome not having to button your pants. The other thing that makes me feel pregnant is the baby moving...it really is the coolest thing. Sometimes when she kicks for a long time I can't help but giggle because I wonder...what can she really be doing in there?! It feels like she is moving furniture around. Im going to enjoy the movement as long as I can, because I hear it eventually gets uncomfortable. Im really anxious for Nathan to feel her move as well, but so far Ive only felt it from the outside once.
So far...the most FUN thing about being pregnant is BABY CLOTHES. Ive been very lucky to be given some clothes. So far, Nathan and I have only bought 3 things for the baby. The pink polka dot outfit with the strawberry, the green stripey one with turtles, and the onesie with elephants. I am alllll about handme downs. Everything seems so much cuter when its tiny--like the red sneakers. (They are called Squeakers, btw.) How can something be so cute?! Its amazing to think they will fit on a tiny little person. I know we will have to start buying the less fun things soon though...diapers, wipes, cremes, etc. I promised Nathan I wouldn't go nuts with baby clothes and so far I have kept my word! We are starting to get a collection of things in the house that makes it obvious a baby is on the way. Just don't try to walk into our guest room right now..its filled with giant boxes...a car seat, a stroller/travel system, a pack-n-play. We have not taken anything out of their boxes yet. Its all been a bit overwhelming. I nearly had an anxiety attack reading the manual on my breast pump. I actually had to put the book down and tell myself to BREATHE.
Annnnnd lastly....in development news. Baby Girl is about the length of a carrot. Awww. 7.2 inches crown-rump.

Wow your are so freaking adorable.. so not fair..lol.. I love it! and dont worry. that breastfeeding manual wont be read long..you will pick it up fast. and alot of hospitals actually show you how to use the pumps so its nice! yay!
ok, so i'm behind on commenting. so first-i'm so glad nathan got to see her, even if it was for just a second.
also, i think you should save the belly band for me to borrow at thanksgiving. i can really get into the idea of not buttoning my pants!ha!
i bet you won't have to buy many tiny clothes at all! people love to buy baby clothes. they especially love to buy baby GIRL clothes. it's just so fun!
here's my advice on clothes(not that you asked...)tell anyone who asks what you need to buy you clothes for 6-12 months and up. you get sooo many 0-3s and so few for when they get a bit bigger.
ok-enough. i'm done!
your look so adorable! your belly is too cute! Im glad to hear all is going well! The outfits are darling, she is going to be such a little princess.
What a super cute top!! Love it!! I have to send you a ton of hand me downs from my girls. Send me your address in an e-mail. I am cleaning out right now anyway. Girls really are so much fun to shop for!!
