Tiny kicks

About a week ago I started feeling something that I was thinking was the baby moving. This week I'm certain. I definitely can feel the movements getting stronger , more frequent and higher. Fun facts this week are that your uterus moves up and the baby's cartilage is turning into bones.

Nursery

I've been tossing around nursery ideas for awhile now. I wanted to do a Dick and Jane themed room, then I found there is a Dick and Jane line of fabrics. They are super cute, but I had no idea until I got my quilt squares in the mail. Pictures don't due them justice. Since I'm not a quilter one of my friends from school and I are going to make one together. I've been searching google images for ideas and have a few good ones. Here is a peek at the squares. Hopefully once I borrow my grandmother's sewing machine we can get busy at making the quilt. I also want to do a bumper and coordinating skirt. Boyds- I'll bring one of each of the squares to Thanksgiving so ya'll can see them live :)

16 Weeks

Here's a pic of 4 months!!

Are you a bumgenius?

So after hours of research on the internet and talking to friends, we've made a decision on the cloth vs disposable debate. We're going with the cloth and as needed disposables. You would not believe everything that's out there now for cloth diapering. And actually it's only a decision until our baby is 12 pounds when the X small diapers will be too small. From talking to friends this seems like an achievable goal especially while I'm still at home and during the summer. And honestly these things are so cute, during the summer Baby Boyd may only be wearing a diaper. I only ordered 6, I'm ordering in waves so that the sticker shock isnt that bad. I'm going to wait to know the sex to order the next set, since they have some cute colors other than white. Well I'm excited I got these in the mail today, so I'd thought I'd post. :)

Cute Quotes

Since I can't really report on any cute things my baby does yet, I can keep you updated with all the cute things my kids at school say about the baby or my belly. Mostly my belly.
Now that they know there's a baby in my belly, they say some funny things.

While reading Mouse Mess, at the end of the story when the mouse is in bed with an over sized stomach from eating too much food, they insisted that there was a baby in his tummy when I told them his stomach grew and grew because he was full.

Yesterday J signed "stomach fat". And I said, "Yes there's a baby inside". P signed "Baby" then signed "3??", I laughed so hard and said "no just one, one baby!"

14 week update

I just got back from my monthly checkup with the midwife group. We listened to the heartbeat and it sounded good. Turns out my sore rib is from pregnancy and just have deal with it. It really hurts, so that's easier in theory than in practice. My sonogram is scheduled for Dec 9th, not only will I be 1/2 way through the pregnancy we also get to find out the gender. So place your vote in our poll. :) I'm excited to start pregnant lady yoga. The woman who teaches it also is a doula and has childbirth classes. Plus it might help my rib. That's all for now. :) Pics by the end of the week.
