boy or girl?

Sam's future football star

Today we were able to find out that the baby will be a... boy! Although I had a feeling all along, I just wasn't sure. We couldn't be happier that I was right... especially Sam! I always wanted an older brother, so I'm happy that we're having a boy first. While Sam is planning his future career as an athlete, I just want to make sure that he is a good first son who is healthy, strong, independent, and loving. 

ps. baby bump picture coming soon....

Weeks: 19

Baby Size: Mango

Maternity clothes: Yep. It's funny how nice strangers are when they can see you're pregnant... letting me skip in line, offering me water, offering me a seat... :) Another perk of pregnancy, I guess.

Sleep: well

Best moment this week: Finding out the sex of the baby!

Miss anything?: snowboarding :(

Movement: Nope

Food cravings: still sweets...

Mood: happy

Looking forward to: Thanksgiving break

Anything else?: Now that we know the sex, we can start building our registry. Anyone out there have any suggestions on what to get/not to get? It's all very overwhelming. And everyone has a different opinion on everything. We are limited on space, so we want to keep it minimal. 

Mummy to Be

My friend/co-worker, Nina, made me this shirt to wear on Halloween. It was very cute and a big hit with all my co-workers. 

 

Last week, we celebrated Sam's 31st birthday. It was a very quiet celebration. Regardless, I'm thankful for my husband. Although he isn't around as much lately, I know he is working hard in order to best provide for our family in the future. I know he will make a great dad and I can't wait to see him interact/love our child. 

Weeks: 18

Baby Size: Sweet potato

Maternity clothes: I'm thankful for all the new maternity clothes I've gotten... especially since Sam's parents bought me a bunch :)

Sleep: ...like a baby

Best moment this week: My parents came to visit this weekend

Miss anything?: Sam is preparing for his study abroad trip to Chile this winter. Although I'm excited for him, I'm jealous I'm not able to freely travel as he is. I even have to miss our annual snowboarding trip this year. :( 

Movement: Nope

Food cravings: Sweets (i.e. cake, ice cream, etc.) This is weird because I've never enjoyed eating sweets before. 

Mood: Worried (money, day care, all that baby gear... so much to do still...)

Looking forward to: Finding out the sex of the baby!! 

Anything else?: It's November already?! I'm past 4 months and time is just flying by.
