20 Week Pictures

As promised, my 20 weeks pictures, tomorrow I will be 21 weeks.

20 weeks

I am halfway to holding our baby! I am pretty excited but sad too because if our little guy is okay this will likely be our last baby.  Pregnancy is so emotionally and physically draining for me that I don't know if I can do it again.  I would like to give this little guy (and Charlie) a sibling but if it doesn't happen I won't beat myself up about it.   I am trying to find a good balance between enjoying this time and the reality that you don't always bring a baby home with you.

We went to buybuyBaby on Sunday (2.26) and found a crib we both like.  I am going to post about the nursery sometime this week.  Mr. H. is getting super excited about the baby and found lots of clothes that wanted to buy.  It was super cute and I smile every time I think about how excited he is.

After buybuyBaby we went to Cheeseburger in Paradise, because I am always hungry for a burger and I love theirs. It was such a great day!

I think the scales are slowly tipping in our favor, we need to get to 24 weeks at least and hopefully 34 weeks. So I hope we can keep the baby baking for 14 more weeks!

Baby @ 18 weeks

Planning and Thinking and Worrying ... Oh My!

Sorry for my extended absence.  Life has been busy and I have been very tired.  I am happy to report that I have been having a nice quiet time so far.

Mr. H. and I are starting to think about day care and see how long a wait may be.  It is shockingly expensive so I am glad we are looking at our options early.  We have also started thinking about taking birth, breastfeeding and childcare classes.  It occurred to me that if the goal is to make it to 34 weeks then time is winding down quickly.  I guess I will discuss it with my OB at my next appt. (March 8th), but then I will be 3 weeks further along and the March classes may have already started.
Mr. H and I want to wait until after 24 weeks to take the classes so I guess our goal is probably April classes. 


I feel like the more I think about the baby the more I realize I should be doing but then it all seems like I have way too much to do and don't know where to start. I guess this is the typical mom to be feeling. I don't want to get ahead of myself but I don't want to fall behind either.  I guess it will all work out.

16 Weeks

I didn't have a sign for 17 weeks.  This is really 17 weeks and 6 days.

I haven't taken my 18 week picture yet, I am a little behind schedule on this too!
