Need some input

Ok, so I'm going to Disneyland on Saturday. Do I want to add Peter Pan pictures on the walls of the nursery when it is inspired by the nursery in Peter Pan or do I just paint it and leave it at that? I don't know if I need to shop for Peter Pan artwork or not!

What do you think?

18 Weeks!

Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.

How far along? 18 weeks

Total weight gain/loss? Down 1 from last week, down 3 over all.

Maternity clothes? Jeans I'm in full time. I have some shirts I can still wear though.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep? I wake up about once a night now. Though, I don't always have to get up.

Best moment this week? Vanessa finding out what she's having.

Movement? Not yet. Though hello restless legs! Wow, my legs don't want to stay still anymore, especially at night.

Food cravings? Still Little Debbie, though it can be the brownies with nuts in addition to the Easter Cakes.

Gender? It will be a boy. We both really want a girl so we're getting a boy. Though, all but 1 person (who has not taken this poll) say girl, and of course, the gender test from Target says girl too. I don't want to get my hopes up though. The other 2 that first said boy, have now changed to girl.

Labor signs? Nope.

What I miss? Pants will belt loops.

What I'm looking forward to? Disneyland on Saturday and the big ultrasound a week from tomorrow!

Weekly Wisdom: None this week. Have I even had wisdom?

Milestones: With the weather warming up, I can't wear my rings anymore. Today was the first day I had to go without them. That's sad.

Emotions: I cried while watching 16 and Pregnant. But, the baby's daddy said that he wished he could rewrite the book on that stretched mark mistake. How could I not?

Pictures!

Alright... it's about time I put these up, here we go!

This was week 5, right after we found out. That's pretty much fat/bloat in that picture.

Last week, 16 weeks - for the record, I could finally say that I saw more baby bump than belly fat at 15 weeks.

This was tonight, I was kinda laughing. 17 weeks

17 Weeks

Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

How far along? 17 weeks

Total weight gain/loss? Up 1 from last week, down 2 over all. I guess The weight gain is officially on. I would like to be even come 20 weeks, but we'll see how it works, especially after my craving tonight.

Maternity clothes? Jeans I'm in full time. I have some shirts I can still wear though.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep? I wake up about once a night now. Though, I don't always have to get up.

Best moment this week? Hearing the heartbeat again at the appointment.

Movement? Not yet.

Food cravings? We were wandering Target tonight and all the Easter stuff is out. That reminded me of the Little Debbie Easter Cakes, the white cakes (Zebra cakes) with the sprinkles on top. Zebra cakes won't do the job as they have stripes in icing, not sprinkles on top. Luckily, they had some. Why is it always sweets??

Gender? It will be a boy. We both really want a girl so we're getting a boy. Though, all but 3 people (who have not taken this poll) say girl, and of course, the gender test from Target says girl too. I don't want to get my hopes up though.

Labor signs? Nope.

What I miss? Pants will belt loops.

What I'm looking forward to? Vanessa finding out what she's having tomorrow!

Weekly Wisdom: None this week. Have I even had wisdom?

Milestones: Nothing new this week.

Emotions: Well, yesterday at Jason's concert, for the first time, he thanked me during the same part when he thanked the administration and the parents. He thought I'd roll my eyes, but instead, I got teary eyed during the whole next tune.

Poll time!

I have put up the gender poll. Our big ultrasound appointment is March 25th at 3:30. So, to break everything down so that you can make the best, most educated guess possible...

We want a girl

Cravings have consisted of mostly junk food and sweets (non chocolate)

All but 1 old wives tale test has given the result of boy

All but 2 people that don't have a preference for one or the other (not family) says girl

Only 1 dream since being pregnant has not been about sex. It was me telling my sister she was going to have a niece

And lastly, took the $30 gender prediction test today (thanks to my sister) and it went unchanged, which says indicates a girl

So, there you go. Guess away! I'll close it at 6 on the 24th.

Something to plan

So, I honestly do not think I have a friend that would volunteer to throw the baby shower. That means, my sister will be "throwing" it for me. I say "throwing" it because she will actually host it and lead everything, but she is still in school and will need me to help put things together that I either want to do or want to see. So, I called the place that we used for our wedding invitations to set up a design session, and they closed at the end of February. That makes me very sad. So, having planned a wedding for outside the state, I feel like I'm starting from scratch on everything! Cake, invitations, and whatever else comes with it.

Recommendations please? :)

16 Weeks!

Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.

How far along? 16 weeks and 1 day

Total weight gain/loss? Up 2 from last week, down 3 over all.

Maternity clothes? Jeans I'm in full time. I have some shirts I can still wear though.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep? I wake up about once a night now. Last night I woke up at 3 and couldn't fall back asleep till 5. Then, Jason's alarm went off at 5:30! Ugh.

Best moment this week? Finalizing the nursery!

Movement? Not yet.

Food cravings? I actually wanted Jamba Juice this week! Something healthier than Smarties!

Gender? It will be a boy. We both really want a girl so we're getting a boy.

Labor signs? Nope.

What I miss? Pants will belt loops.

What I'm looking forward to? My appointment on Monday.

Weekly Wisdom: None this week.

Milestones: Finalizing the nursery!

Emotions: None this week either. Pretty boring.
