E is for Everyone Guess What We Are Having (22 Weeks)

Progress: 22weeks

My view of Baby L.J.

Due Date: January 30, 2013  (Both Matthew and I have birthdays in February. His is Feb. 4th and mine is Feb. 20th, so perhaps the baby will be stubborn and wait until one of those days to be born.)



Gender:  No idea. Don't wanna know.  But lots of  people think it's a girl.  I'm taking a poll...what do you think? Boy? Girl? Tootsie the Second?




Names:  We have a huge list and I've narrowed it down to a first and middle name that I like for each a boy or girl.  We are spelling things normal and keeping it to traditional names.  Matthew voted down my suggestion of "Tabletop."

It's amazing how maternity clothes really make you look pregnant.  When I wear my regular, non-maternity clothes some people can't tell if I am pregnant.

Baby items purchased: My Mom gave me a huge tote of my baby clothes and blankets.  One of the outfits screams "1980s"!  It's a bright yellow winter jumper.  Matthew installed two new windows in the baby's room, too. 




Weight gained: No idea.  Still wearing and buttoning my regular Gap jeans, but they are getting a wee bit tight.




Activity: Lots of walks.




Sleep: Still on my tummy, and we added a humidifier to our room since this fall is so dry.





Eats:  I baked homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, two carmel apple pies (thanks for the idea Becca!) plus peanut butter honey banana muffins and we've eaten dinner at home a lot.

Sideview!

Ooops Moments:  Hmmm...I thought I had allergies but it turns out I also have bronchitis, but some lovely antibiotics is making me feel back to normal.




Advice from parents:  To spend as much time together enjoying being just the two of us before Baby L.J. comes.




Upcoming Events:  Painting the baby's room!  Trip to California!  Emily's wedding!
