Funny quiz

According to childbirth.org, I have a 38% chance of having a boy and a 61% chance of having a girl.

And Here's Why...
You are carrying the extra weight out front, so it's a boy.
The hair on your legs is not growing any faster during your preganacy, so it's a girl.
Boys are carried low. You are going to have a boy.
Sleeping in a bed with your pillow to the north indicates that you will be having a boy.
Your feet are not colder than they were before pregnancy. You are having a girl.
You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread. You are having a girl.
Dad-to-be hasn't been gaining weight along with Mom-to-be, so it will be a girl.
The maternal grandmother doesn't have gray hair (dyed or natural), so a girl will be born.
You didn't have morning sickness early in pregnancy, so it will be a boy.
You are looking particularly good during pregnancy. Therefore, it must be a boy, because girls steal their mother's looks.
Your chest development has not been very dramatic during pregnancy. You should expect a boy.
Since the sum of the mother's age at conception and the number of the month of conception is an odd number, it will be a girl.
Your urine is a dull yellow color, so you will have a girl.
You are craving sweets, which means that it is a girl.
Your nose hasn't changed during pregnancy, which indicates a girl.
You have been craving fruits, so it is a girl.
Your baby's heart rate is 140 or more beats per minute, so it's a girl.
You are having headaches, so it's a boy.
Your belly looks like a basketball, so it's a boy.
You show them the palm of your hand, so it's a girl.
You use the body of the mug, so it's a girl.

Some of those are just down right hilarious!!!

Shirts these days...

So I have to special order my pants, but it seems like the best time to be pregnant because what is the deal with all the loose fitting tops these days?! I love it that these overflowing, billowing tops seem to be in style. Call them tunics or trapeze tops or whatever, it makes it so easy to save money on tops because I'm not trecking out to the maternity store to spend $45 on a basic shirt!

A few firsts this week!

Week 16 has been pretty eventful thus far. On Sunday evening (16w2d) as I was falling asleep, I felt four twitches on the right hand side of my stomach, just below my belly button. I dismissed it as possible gas or some sort of digestive rumbling, but I made a mental note to remember it in case it happened again. Well last night (16w4d), I felt it again while falling asleep and this time it happened as I rolled from my right side to my left side. It was a little more pronounced the second time around and I feel more confident that it is indeed the little baby in there kicking around!

Another first this week - I got "called out" by one of the employees at Lush. I was there picking out a massage bar to use on my stomach and without even telling her, she says "Oh, these are great when you're pregnant". I'm sure my eyes got huge and I asked her, "You can tell?!". She said that she noticed a little bump!

Maternity Jeans!

I ordered and just received these maternity jeans from the Ebay shop, Time of Your Life Maternity. They are a brand I've never heard of, James Cured by Seun, but the reason I bought them was because they are only one of three brands (that I've found) that carry maternity jeans in a 35" inseam! I tried them on immediately and am in love. First off, the wash is fabulous. They are a lighter weight denim and have a very soft feel - almost like they've been washed 100 times - but they look brand new! Secondly, the stretchy demi panel feels like heaven! I'm still able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans, but when the day comes for these, I will welcome them with open arms!

Shopping!

Roger and I have a wedding to go to in one month out in California and I also wanted something to wear for Easter weekend. Because I'll only be 19 weeks and 21 weeks, respectively, I don't think I will need full out maternity clothes, just clothes that are roomier in the tummy area.

Here is a swing jacket that hits about mid stomach.

To be worn over this cute shirt which has grey circles in it!
And finally, this empire waisted dress. There's definitely room for a growing belly inside! I have to thank Kristal for bringing my attention to this dress :)

And for the baby, I bought a Maya Sling in a beautiful jewel tone blue color.

And I will be making my own Moby wrap with 5 yards of stretchy knit fabric in a beautiful light pool colored fabric.
Hopefully that will be the end of shopping for a little while. I certainly don't want to go overboard!
