almost an outie...! (O_o)

*#$&*Q@*@%^$&!!!

just laying on the couch....WOA! scary looking!!!
my belly isn't really THIS huge...i think the angle of the photo makes it look ginormous...
BUT my belly button is now completely flat. it's not an innie anymore...
it's now a flat surface.
james says it looks like the "end of a sausage"
if i poke it it's really soft..!

baby crib...GET!

YAY!!
little baby got his crib today!
thank you grandma! ♥
let me tell ya...there are so many cribs out there, it was almost driving me nuts just to pick one out! they have different sizes, different functions, quality, etc.
oof....
but we settled with a simple and not too large crib.
it also turns into a toddler bed for when he gets bigger!
yay i'm so excited! i think we'll build it next weekend (i LOVE building furniture)
as for the bedding...we're gonna scope around.
i saw a few cute ones..like super adorable bedding sets, but i want to make sure i find the one i love!

and of course on our way out of the store, i spot this owl outfit...
Yes, of course i bought it! look at it!

baby shopping with my ma...!

i had monday off (dentist...boo! but no cavities♫)
and my mom has mondays off...so we went a little baby shopping!
we went to babies r us to check out some cribs... there are so many different kinds, i still don't know which one to get :S but we'll get that later...

so she helped me pick out some other necessities... like bottles..
my gosh they have a million selections for bottles alone..!
my mom couldn't remember which ones she used but she really liked the glass baby bottles for home use... (easier to sterilize) so we got some of those. and a starter kit of plastic bottles.
a few more baby clothes and (beanie) hats! squeee!!
since he'll be here around winter time i'll need to keep the little bugger warm♥
other stuff like bottle cleaners and nursing pads... oy... so much to get...
and lastly we got him a tub!
wow..this is starting to feel more real...! O_o

belly @ 23 weeks...!

woa~!! the belly is getting huge!
this week i'm 23 weeks along♥ and it feels great!
well..the work week sucks because i don't like commuting..PERIOD!
but the weekends are great! i have energy, i've been cleaning, and i have a pretty good appetite.
i think i'm eating the most right about now.

and the kicks are just insane! yesterday he was kicking me all day long!
at night, james and i will lay in bed and just watch my belly move around... it's surreal!

belly @ 22 weeks...!

this week i'm 22 weeks along...and the baby weighs almost a pound!!
wowzers!!

and here's a bonus belly shot...
james' beer belly shot! but he's so skinny...i don't even see a belly!

21 weeks & happy ♥

can't wait to meet him!

belly @ 20 weeks...!

aaah!! my shirts don't fit anymore! O_o
the belly is peeking out...
this week, HE is as long as a banana...o my. that's about 10inches long!
the kicks are even harder!
alon felt it the other day! and erika got to feel one of the biggest kicks yet!

now the fun (difficult) part begins...
we started thinking of names♥
i've found a few that i like...but we won't reveal it until he comes out!
YAY!

the shopping has begun...!

yep...after we found out we're having a boy, i went mini-shopping!
the fun part..clothes♥
i picked up a few newborn~3months outfits.
but i still need to get the more important things...like a crib, bottles, stroller, etc.
OY!

i seem to like the monkeys♥ so cute!

BOY...!!! ♥♥♥

wwoooooooaaaaaahhh~!
we found out we are having a boy!
i am growing a penis inside of me...WOW!

so 20 weeks marks the halfway point.
at this appointment, i had an 'anatomy scan' which is when they check every major organ of the baby to make sure it's developing ok.
it was crazy to see his brain, heart, kidneys, etc.
but he was so active...he kept kicking me and moving around :D
the technician had to chase after him

his profile shot!

this is crazy! it's his face!!
you can see the eye sockets!!

that's his arm

his other arm. you can see the fingers!

his leg
(this leg kicks me all day....)

the foot!

and his spine! wow..you can see every bone!

well..now that i know it's a boy i feel much better...
i've been trying to guess all these months and i finally have the answer♥
this will be the first boy for my side of the family....i'm a little nervous about it :(
and hopefully i'll have a girl down the road :)
boy & girl...how perfect!!
