Baby Verde Week 18!

Baby Verde is now the size of a bell pepper, which oddly enough, I've been craving with eggs a lot.  Mmmm.  Baby Verde is about 5 & 1/2 inches long, according to my baby tracking app.

My once deep belly button is becoming quite shallow.  Sometimes, it's hard to notice my stomach is growing, but I am reminding by this constant itching.  IT PUTS THE LOTION ON THE SKIN OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE!

My sister-in-law and nephew are in town and staying with us, so we have a lot of activity to keep our minds busy until the 12th of September.  =D  Only 16 more days!  I can't wait to see this little bell pepper of mine, since I haven't seen he/she since he/she looked like a sea horse, or some sort of other creature.  The husband could not make the first ultra sound, so this will be the first time he gets to see.  I am really excited for him!

Everything else seems to being going well.  I am such an old lady these days.  Didn't get to bed until 11 something last night and it felt like I didn't get to sleep until 3am.

Baby Verde as of week 17

So it felt like Baby Verde has been more active lately.  It’s not necessarily a feeling of something hitting against my stomach.  It’s more what I would imagine it would feel like if someone was stirring something inside of me.   As though baby Verde might be in there just doing fabulous flips and such.  Very exciting to be feeling that. 

Gender scan is in 21 days!  So excited to find out what we are having.  Still crossing my fingers for a girl, but really leaning toward it being a boy.  So we’ll have a little David or a little Eliana. 

Experience some slight weight gain finally.  I was doing pretty good with swimming to keep active, but baby needs to grow.  :) 

We have a few activities planned coming up in the next couple of weeks, so here’s to hoping that will help these next 21 days fly by. 

Getting excited to have this little one here and see what he/she looks like, but right now that all seems so abstract.  It’s as though that day will never come. 

I have been looking in to tons of cute photo ideas.  I know what I will be doing on my maternity leave!

Baby Verde as of Week 14

Good morning!

Today I decided to make a blog to track baybay stuff, so I can remember my week-to-week.  I got the idea  from Miss Nelly and thought it was a better way of going on and on about Baby Verde, opposed to Facebook.  



Currently, I am 14 weeks along.  My energy seems to be pretty good, Monday - Friday, 7:30 - 4:00.  So basically, all of the time I am at work.  :/  I seem to keep getting headaches on the weekends only.  Of course.  


But, baby right now is about 3 1/2 inches long and weighs about 1 1/2 ounces, according to my baby center updates.  Baby Verde can also pee in me, which is kind of crazy. 


As far as belly goes, it looks like I've had a big meal and my gut is sticking out.  I've only taken about 2 belly pictures so far but will remember to take them from here on out.  


Ryan is in Berkeley right now for a conference, presenting his research.  Our next appointment is sometime mid August and then next month, on the 12th, we find out the sex.  That seems forever from now, though.
