I am almost done writing up the details of how we find out, etc so
hopefully I'll get that posted soon. At some point I am also hoping to
post details on how we told family/close friends what we were having
(before the facebook, blog and other social media posts from Disney).
We'll see how far I get, time is whizzing by and the reality of how soon
she is going to be here is hitting full force!
How far along: 20something weeks
Weight gain: 13-14 pounds
Maternity Clothes: Still holding out...
Gender: Girl!
Name: it's a surprise!
Movement: Yep. She's moving in big ways and seems to find humor in how low she can go and bury and kick her feet. Fun fun times. The little stinker. It's just such a weird feeling.
Cravings: No real cravings, but I was explaining to someone how to make a grilled pizza today and decided Hubs and I will definitely need to take advantage of our long weekend coming up and make grilled pizzas and peaches.
Sleep: not too bad, I generally get up once at night, every now and then I can squeak by without.
# of Days since m/s has hit: haven't had any since I last updated, maybe I'm finally in the clear? I've been told it often comes back with 3rd trimester though so...who knows, I guess it could pop back at anytime now.
What I'm most looking forward to after the baby (besides the obvious): Not being looked at a piece of meat. This has got to be the WORST part of pregnancy, it can even come from Family! I am sick of people blatantly checking me out and gauging my stomach and boobs. Yes they are bigger. Get over it. If I have to accept the comments like "girl you've done popped oooouuutt" it's one thing. But I will not stand for people looking at me as a piece of meat. It was never acceptable before I was pregnant and it is certainly not acceptable now. This one irks me beyond belief! Even my husband has been astounded at this one.
Last baby items purchased:Well Zulily totally bombed on a recent order of mine and I am seriously *this close* to swearing off them completely. But in the meantime I had some credits I needed to use up so I picked up baby girl a cute little red and white polka dot suit.
Other Craziness: Our maternity shoot is in two weeks. TWO WEEKS. See also: I need to go shopping ASAP. I have no idea what the photographers have up their sleeves and I have no idea what we are going to wear. The fact that we can have as many outfits as we want isn't helping matters any. Particularly when my closet is so much limited these days! I could put together a million outfits from Jcrew but unfortunately, they require a waistline that I do not currently have. Has anyone seen anything cute lately that they love? Non-maternity is fine. I've been thinking maybe a maxi dresses, a knit dress, maxi skirt and tank, white jeans and a cute top, cropped jeans and a flowy top but apparently not much of this is in this season???? I seem to have lost my shopping mojo. Probably right around the same time I lost my waistline...

Jade has that same swimsuit. :) She's yet to wear it yet though.
I got really tired of the comments about my stomach growing too. And it gets worse. :( I even had a little girl point to me one time and say, "Mommy, that lady has a fat belly!" Ugh.
I wore a non-maternity maxi dress for our maternity pictures. You can see it here: http://www.hollandsonthehill.com/2011/06/sneak-peek.html and here:

From a photographer standpoint, I think dresses usually photograph the best for maternity sessions...BUT, it's also a good idea to think about whether or not you want to do any bare-belly shots, in which case you'll also need an outfit that's a shirt and pants/skirt combo!
