Countdown...17 days til the BIG U/S!!!
So nothing major has been going on since the last post except for the fact that the belly is growing by the minute! Ok, it's not that big, but it feels that way! I have a few more belly pix to post, including a night and morning pic that is hysterical, but I don't have them with me, so I'll post them hopefully tonight or tomorrow. I can't believe how much the belly swells throughout the day! It's literally like night and day! Lol (sorry, I couldn't resist)!
I am now 16wks and 2 days pg! The big, major ultrasound is in 17 days!!! Todd and I are super excited!!! We are pretty much convinced it is a boy because of Intelligender and fotrunebaby.com, but wouldn't it be funny if it was a girl now? I have already started my registry, and it's filled with lots of blue!!!
Actually Todd and I went to BRU (Babies 'R' US, for future reference) yesterday and I think we may have found the bedroom set we like. It's between one there and a set at good ole JCP, but the set at JCP doesn't have the dresser in the right color in stock, so I keep calling to check on it, but may just give up and go with the other set cuz I'm tired of waiting. The plan was to use my tax refund for the baby's furniture and that came, so now it's just sitting there burning a hole in my savings account. I started going thru all my stuff and clothes in there a while ago and just need to get some of those space saver bags to finish (which we may go get tonight) it up. We'll then have to rent a Uhaul to move and store the bedroom set that's in there now in mom and dad's basement, but for now it will sit in our garage so I can continue to clean out the room and feel like I'm making progress. :)
On our shopping trip,Todd and I bought a cute, cuddly and very warm looking winter cuddlesuit and the cutest brown little corduroy jacket (for a boy or girl)...I'll have to post some pix of those too. It was out first purchase for the baby, together.
Check back for pix.

Miscellaneous Info...
Ok, so I was just yelled at by my brother because I haven't posted anything in a while...but there's really nothing new to post. Unless you want to hear about my bloating, back aches, lack of sleep and gas...not much to say yet. Lol!
On Easter, my Aunt Lorrie returned the cradle that I used as a baby that she borrowed for her 5 kids (the youngest is a teenager now I believe, ha!) so I can possibly use it for our baby! That was very cool! It's not in bad condition either! Have to buy a new mattress for it, but I expected that.
I have ordered something called Angel Sounds off of eBay and am hoping to receive it any day now. It is like a generic doppler I guess, similar to the Bebe Sounds they sell at Babies 'r' Us or Target, but you can supposedly use it as early as 10-12 weeks rather than waiting for the third trimester. It's coming from Hong Kong so the expected ship wait was 7-12 business days (today is day 8). I can't wait to receive it and search for my baby's heartbeat! I'm hoping to use this as kind of a bonding tool to get to know my baby a little better.
I have also ordered a Back 'n' Belly pillow that has received great reviews on Target and Babies 'r' Us' websites. I guess it's better than the original Snoogle (?) and the Boppy version. I'm really hoping that this will help me sleep better throughout the night, for a while at least. :)
Well I'll keep you posted and let you know when I recieve my new toys and how they work. Next appointment is in 11 1/2 days! We can't wait! I'll try to post some belly photos soon. :)

The Heartbeat!
So what an amazing day it has been already! Today Todd and I went for our second doctor's appointment and we were able to hear the heartbeat!!! It was sooo Awesome!! And yes, of course I cried. :) Well, I didn't bawl or anything, but was definitely teary eyed. Todd was amazed as well. I think we are both walking on cloud 9 today!

What's New?
Ok, so it's been a while, sorry, still getting used to this. In the meantime I've been checking out some cool pg sites and talking to other pg women which is really nice! It really helps talking to other women that are going thru the same things as you are. It's also nice because not everyone has the same symptoms and on the one website you kinda just post your feeling and ask questions and if anyone else feels the same way they send you a message.
I've also been doing some shopping...I bought a pair of brown flats, ordered black ones (they didn't have my size in the store), bought some non-maternity, "babydoll" type blouses (to get me thru this awkward stage), one more pair of stretchy pants from NY & Co (even tho I'm boycotting them) and a "tummy sleeve"! Oh! And another book...."The Grlfirend's Guide to Pregnancy".
I'm wearing the brown flats now and have already worn 4 of the 6 new items of clothing I've bought, not including the tummy sleeve. I may need to wear it later this week, but we'll see.
I had a dream last night that I had a bump and I was so excited! I actually had to check my tummy when I woke up! Ha! You see, yesterday my aunts came over to my mom's for Easter and I think they all came to me to check my bump (that I don't have yet) and were disappointed that there wasn't anything to see. So, I think that fueled my dream. It was so wierd because it was so hard and it actually had the texture of a basketball! Lol! Pretty funny, huh (kinda gross too)?
That's really all that's been going on... I did post another baby name poll that you can vote on if you'd like andwe have our next appt this Thursday! I'm sooooooo excited!!!!!! I'm hoping they'll do another u/s since the first one was done so early and we only got to see a blinking dot!
