Time to Vote.........

No not for political candidates. Although that is very important, I am referring to what you think we are having. Do you think baby bishop is a boy or a girl????

I keep hearing from different people "it's a girl," "no it's boy". Also since, I don't have a strong gut feeling one way or another and Justin keeps saying "I don't call the game, I just play it" (whatever that means) I thought it would be fun to take a quick poll.

If ya look at the menu on the right side of this blog, under my profile you will see a poll. Just for kicks and giggles, click what you think it will be. Should be fun!!!!

14 Weeks Check Up

Baby Bishop is the size of a lemon......

How Far Along: 14 weeks
Weight Gain: 9  lbs (Can you say Wowzers????? It's packing on faster than I expected)
Maternity Clothes: Not yet but it's on the way. I have started buying some things to get ready. Although if anyone has work attire in size small that they would like to donate to the cause I would be completely okay with that. ;)
Stretch Marks: Not yet but I am still lathering up with Mother's Friend

Morning Sickness: It's easing up but still pops in to say hello every now and again.

Sleep: Still having to pee at 2:00am. (However I made it until 5:30am the other day...whop whop
Baby Movement: Not yet, although I thought I felt a flutter a few times but Justin thinks I am crazy.
Food Cravings: Salty not really digging the sweets the way I used to (As per Rick and Bubba I think that points to girl???).
What I Miss: My relatively flat waistline...oh how I hope it makes a return!

Looking Forward To: Finding out what “it” is (August 31st... our appointment moved a day).

Milestones: "it" can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck "its" thumb!

Thursday I went for my 14 week check up. Although I was completely distraught about my weight gain, Dr. M insisted it was normal if not good. She says girls of my size tend to gain at a higher rate in the beginning (however I think she was just trying to make me feel better). The heartbeat was 154 b/m, from what I've been told this also points to girl but we shall see. (2 weeks and we should know).

Last weekend we started and finished the baby's closet.....

It's ready for sweet little baby clothes

I told Pop (Doug) It sure needs a home made wooden toy box in the bottom

Here is my belly bump at 14 weeks.....

Just for fun lets see how it has grown...............

Oh how I look forward to August 31 at 9:30 am.......Pray all goes well. I have not seen our sweet baby via sonogram since week 7.

Until next time.....
