Today I went Christmas shopping with my grandma, as we do every year. I was expressing my concern that maybe I should be buying a pack of diapers every week or something?.... She said noooooo, just buy things you want and you'll get tons of stuff at the shower...I've only bought her 2 little outfits up until today and she got 3 more, including an outfit I have to share, because it is sooooo cute and maybe her coming home outfit. :)

How adorable is that? She'll definitely need a bow to match :)
Other than that we're layin low this week and trying to keep up on crochet orders!!!

22 Weeks
Well I'm technically 21 weeks and 6 days but better early than late (or not at all because i'm a slacker right?).
I finally got around to taking a belly pic. Usually i don't feel like i look presentable because i'm home all day i've been living in sweatpants...and I rarely put on more than mascara. I'm gross. I accept it.
First Belly Pic, then stats :)
Officially not a cupcake belly I think. I also think I actually look pregnant, and for now I say THANK GOD.
How far along? 21 Weeks and 6 days
Total weight gain/loss: Still No clue. But I do fit in my american eagle jeans with some fixing up with a hair ponytail holder, they still fit great in my legs. Although most shirts haven't fit very well for awhile unless they were long to begin with.
Maternity clothes? I bought a few on black friday (shirts) and for awhile i don't think i'll need anything. Maternity leggings are on my Christmas Wish List, and sadly I had to retire my favorite pair of fleece sweatpants that were fitted to begin with in the waist. They seriously hurt my belly now :( sad day.

Stretch marks? No stretch marks, although i think that stupid zipper line is coming in and it is NOT welcome. I've been putting on Lamaze Belly Cream twice a day....hopefully it fades or doesn't get much worse.
Sleep: Sleeping more through the night with less potty breaks actually. But, Waking up with some decent hip/lower back pain. I think that make have to do with the new mattress we got before Thanksgiving though. It is not pillow top, AND we went from a Cali King to a Queen. eek.
Best moment this week: Feeling the baby move EVERY day. It is amazing.
Miss Anything? Running! I miss running SO BAD.
Movement: Definitely, she is CRAZY.
Food cravings: Anything spicy, and Tabasco goes on basically anything and everything now. No heartburn yet.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not anymore really :)
Gender: Girl OFFICIALLY

20 weeks and a few days ;)
Alright readers, I'm sorry I've been on super Hiatus! So I'm gonna fill you in.
We went in for our 18 week sono to find out that we have a REALLY difficult baby on our hands. The whole time 'it' was laying head down like in a head stand, curled around the placenta and had the legs closed tight. They could see a little bump but never could get a shot of the boy parts to confirm if it was a boy or girl. He said he would wander to guess boy but would not buy blue because at that point it could be swollen girl parts....
I was pretty disappointed but felt like I was right, that we were totally having a boy as I have felt non stop since we got pregnant. So I had my 18 week appointment that week also and she said that I was measuring perfect, and also that as long as we don't have any complications that we wouldn't have any more sonograms....This is where I start hating my doctor btw. So I leave and think, well fine, we'll have a babywaves appointment and find out that way after 20 weeks. So I've had a few pretty boring weeks, no funky stuff, only getting sick once a week like I have been etc; etc;.
So we get to go in for our 20 week sono at babywaves, that my doctor refuses to sign permission for. Thankfully they never even asked for the permission slip so we got to go in anyways. This is where I'm finding a way to switch primary care physicians if possible Monday, because I officially HATE my doctor. really? you're going to deny a babywaves appointment. For gods sakes.
We get in and I immediately inform the tech that we have a pretty defiant baby on our hands. I mean, the last sonogram we had LITERALLY crossed feet. Which i was REALLY bummed about as was Q. So I tell her if we need to use the full 30 minutes to figure out the sex, that's fine. So she gets in position, what do you know. The baby has flipped, BUT, is now sitting cross-legged on the butt....making a view pretty hard to get. She says confidently 'oh they always undo you just have to give them some time'...So she starts showing us the face, which was a much better sono picture than our last, of course we have the typical crazy hands like the last time, which we refer to as 'jazz hands' And she tries again. She gets 3 white lines numerous times, which is a girl. But can't get a good shot yet...so she goes back around. And the only way she can get a view is to move from the top of my stomach dowwwn to the pelvic bone and look up with the probe. I swear she made that movement 50 times. But we keep getting 3 lines, 3 lines, no boy parts. So.....I was wrong....
We're having a GIRL!!!!
The Tech Said this is By far the most difficult baby she has ever had to try and find gender on.
Quincy was maybe a hair disappointed, i sort of blame myself which he says obviously is not my fault and he will love her anyways, but I was so persistent that I swore it was a boy. I mean, we had a boy name picked out (Brecken Kenneth), and had not even looked at girl names because I felt it was kind of pointless. But since last night he has come WAY around to it and I know he'll love her no matter what.
So she's our little stubborn shocker!
Still No Ideas on names btw.
Also, I PROMISE to get a belly pic up and more of the 20 week Sono.
