So, after a convo last night with my mom about how bad my registry was (3 packages of pacifiers and 6 jumper/swing/chair thingys and NO CLOTHES?!)…I added a bunch of essentials, that I…quite frankly…didn’t know how essential they were.

In any case, she reminded me how I was going to need socks and hats and all sorts of “keep baby warm” things right off the bat, and couldn’t really wait to get gender specific stuff! So, suddenly I’m obsessed with baby hats and keep warm items.

So today, I bought these items.


Baby Legs are the item of the day on BabySteals.com – they have a bunch of cute designs…and I determined these four pair to be the most gender neutral…athough something tells me the hubs might question the rainbow ones. W.

I also purchased this hat from Esty seller Cite Fuzz – SO CUTE. And just like all the hats this kid’s daddy wears ALL THE TIME. :)


Seems gender neutral as well, right? Right. (Just agree with me.)

Must stop.

I posted too soon.

I think we had another milestone this morning.

As I was procrastinating getting out of bed this morning after the hubs left for work, I had my hand on my stomach. And I felt a couple kicks from the outside.

::squeals::

It was pretty cool.

And right now, I think the wee one is enjoying the sausage biscuit/magic coke combo – I’ve gotten a couple kicks that made me jump they were so hard. I’m really trying hard not to put my hand on my stomach at work to feel them, but I don’t want to look like a lunatic.

The Fruit: 17 weeks.

Baby’s skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

So sue me…they’re not all fruit. Majority rules, though.

17 Weeks.

If you look carefully, you’ll see Boo-boo the cat with the hubs. Boo was really excited to watch The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brian.

How far along? 17 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I think we’re about +2 or 3 now.
Maternity clothes? Gots myself some shorts this weekend. Sweet sweet release.
Stretch marks? The ones I had pre-pregnancy on my thighs are definitely getting darker. Flop.
Sleep: Sometimes good, sometimes horrid.
Best moment this week: More movement!
Movement: Uh, see above.
Food cravings: Today, it was a hot fudge malt with a sausage biscuit…at the same time.
Gender: Still thinking girl.
Labor Signs: Nooo.
Belly Button in or out? Still innie. Still wider.
What I miss: Beer.
What I am looking forward to: The next u/s!
Weekly Wisdom: Paying $60 for shorts is only okay when you DESPERATELY CANNOT FIND SHORTS.
Milestones: Yay for more movement!

Not much to report…

Category baby business, not so much

This weekend was long, and sad. We attended the memorial service for our friend on Sunday, and I’m happy and sad to have it over. We also did some more yardwork, and replaced a little carpeting in our basement (ahhh, cat pee…you bastard, bastard kitties).

Other than that, not much news to report on the baby front. Still a little movement, still feeling okay. Bought some maternity shorts yesterday, which was an excellent move. It felt SO GOOD to have shorts on yesterday.
