Baby Shopping

So glad it is finally the weekend!! I was exhausted by Friday, so off to bed at around 9pm I went. Feeling much better today, after working out this morning I ran some errands and finished buying a couple items for my friend's baby shower later today.

I went to this sports store because I wanted to get some baby OU stuff, and found some really cute outfits. Then I found a pink newborn knit beanie and I had to purchase it. I figure I will find out next week and probably should have bought the maroon version, but the pink one was just too cute and too tiny not to purchase.

Looking at baby stuff is so much fun, especially when you know you have one on the way. I have resisted buying anything for peanut, I am waiting to confirm she is a girl on March 2nd. They were pretty sure at 13 weeks peanut was going to be a girl, but after hearing stories from people etc. I just want to confirm it at 21 weeks before I go girl crazy.

Why is it that being pregnant makes you have crazy dreams? I keep dreaming peanut is a boy, and then Cam likes to try and plant doubt because he thinks its funny to watch me start to worry about it. He knows I want a girl, and I know he wants a boy, so on March 2nd we will confirm one of us is getting what we want. Don't get me wrong, we both hope peanut is a healthy happy baby and will love peanut no matter what he/she is, but we still have our preferences and I am hoping I end up right!

Looking forward to the baby shower later today, and then we are going to dinner with some friends of ours. Looking forward to some good Mexican food!

New Blog Design

I finally got my blog background updated, amen! So much fun finding a background and playing with blogger. I had a hard time making a decision so I will probably play with it some more, but now with little peanut on the way I need to get this blog in shape!! Super excited and hoping I can keep up with it better than I have been.

What did we ever do before blogging or facebook??

20 Weeks

I am halfway through my pregnancy and cannot believe how fast time has flown. I know the remaining 20 weeks are going to be more intense then the first but I have to say its hilarious how many times I have felt little peanut kick me while writing this post. It just makes me smile, and sometimes I forget I am pregnant until I feel that kick, or look down and see my growing belly.

The second trimester has been a dream, and I am loving it. I have the best fingernails I have ever had, I keep trimming them and they grow back in what seems like a day. I love my growing figure and am excited to finally be looking somewhat pregnant. I could do without the extra back fat but it can't all be perfect right? I have gained 7 lbs in my 20 weeks, and my appetite has increased by 100. I think I could out-eat my husband on any given evening and he is 6ft 4in, and out weighs me by about 100 lbs.

I am trying to eat healthy choices on most days, but there are some days the cravings take over and I end up eating a cheeseburger with fries, finished up by girl scout cookies. I can't help it!! Don't judge!

We get to confirm little peanut is a girl on March 2nd, and all the sudden I have started fearing she is going to be a he, and all my dreams of pink and dresses are going to be put on the back burner. Either way I will be excited, and love this little peanut but am hoping peanut is a girl.

Life really couldn't get any better, I have the most amazing husband, I love my family, my job is going great, and in four months I will get to meet the little one growing inside of me. It is so funny to be at work, trying to focus on a conference call and feel bam, bam, bam inside your stomach. I know as she gets bigger I will only feel those kicks more and more. It is so crazy to me, such a miracle.

I am trying to decide if we should do the 3D sonogram, has anyone had one done? They seem really cool, my doctor doesn't do them so I need to find someone in Dallas or north Dallas who would do it. I will keep you posted what we find out on March 2nd!!!
