What a Preggo Eats

Soo...Every morning before I head into work, I pack my bag of food. As I realize this morning, man that's a lot of food!

To date, I have only gained 9lbs. I personally think thats pretty darn good. I might eat some junk, but I do eat healthy too.

This morning I decided to snap a pic of my "food bag".



What you will see:

Breakfast - Strawberries N Cream Oatmeal and Whole Wheat bread for Toast(by the way I HATE Whole Wheat - but it's healthy for the Baby) and a SunnyD.

Snack - A Banana

Lunch - A Lean Pocket(Ham&Cheese), Small bowl of Steak N Shake Chili, Peaches fruit cup and 3 Chips Ahoy! Cookies.

Snack - Special K Blueberry Cereal Bar

Yup - that doesn't include the bowl of cereal I will have when I get home, the handful of grapes I have while making dinner and then the ice cream I have sometime after dinner before bed.

Oh and I also drink about 3 of these a day at work...gotta love h2o!




Yummm.....foooodddd.

21 Weeks

Alright! I'm past the half way mark by a week! Woot woot!

Here are two 21 week baby belly shots.






Baby Sophie is now probably a full 1 pound! I feel her moving around multiple times a day - every day. I THINK I've felt her kick...once. Robby wakes her up almost every morning with a hard belly shake and "Wake up Baby!!"

I'm getting some energy back, it's about time. I have to go to the bathroom A LOT and I miss getting a full night sleep. I'll probably never have one again.

My next doctor appointment is next Wednesday with a new doctor from a new practice.

We started looking into to Child Care.... one word: EXPENSIVE. We found a place we like and it's $190 a week. That's a little shy of $10K a year. We would love to find a babysitter in the neighborhood, but have no idea how to find that.

I've been extra emotional - but I guess thats to be expected.

I received a well needed visit from my mom and sis this past weekend. Although the visit wasn't nearly long enough.

Well that was my 21 week update! Oh and I was just informed by Amanda that Sophie is now the size of a papaya and is getting tastier and tastier each week - Amanda, Robby and I are starting to think the only way you will ever be around our baby is if you are supervised. You can not eat our baby. :)

20 wks and 5 days

So here is my belly shot for week 20. I'll get another one for wk 21. The weeks actually go by so fast that we forget to take them every week.



This is the 1st week where I have had multiple people comment about being able to see my baby bump (is it actually a bump still? I think I'll just call it my baby belly). And these are co-workers that see me every day.

Oh! And this shirt isn't even a prego shirt! haha

On a side note: I want to congratulate my SIL aka Aunt Katy on getting engaged! Love you Katy!

Word Cloud

Check out this WordCloud I made over at the coolest little website www.wordle.net. It is using all my most common words from this Baby Blog! Pretty sweet isn't it?

1st Baby Buy

We have made our first baby purchase, and it was a doozy. We bought little Sophia a crib! Saturday we traveled to Babies R Us to take part in their biggest nursery sale ever (or so they say)! All cribs and nursery stuff were all 20% off.

We ran into a small problem when we couldn’t find the crib we really wanted. We ended up looking at some others we liked. Then bargain shopper Robby found a crib that we would have ended up getting for free after the discount, then our $150 worth of gift cards. That was a hard offer to beat, but I just didn’t like the crib.

So after a lot…A LOT of contemplating we decided against buying the cheaper crib. Then there, all of a sudden, Robby calls me over and says “what about this one?” and low and behold it’s the crib we originally wanted! “Ha! We’ll take it I said!” We went and picked out a mattress and called it a day.



As soon as we got home it we put it together. It was supper easy and fun. Secret helped, and Link didn’t care too much to stick around and watch. And Robby didn’t even read the directions...haha. That’s all I shall say about that.

Nursery painting

The nursery has been painted! Amanda (one of my favorite BFFs) painted nearly all of it herself. Of course, I got the first run at the wall, but she did the rest. Thank you so much Amanda! Last weekend, Robby finished the room by putting on a second coat of paint on two of the walls.

The next step is the mural that Aunt Carolynn will be paining this summer. Which, we are really excited about. We are saving up for the crib, and the changing stating Robby is going to make will be started soon as well. But more on that to come!

Congratulations! You’re having a GIRL!

What an exciting day! That’s right folks; Robby and I are having a little girl. This morning we got to spend a lot of time watching her on the screen. She was very shy though, how cute is that?

Her heart beat was 144. She weights 8oz and is the size of a large mango (if you can picture that – I can’t haha).



Her head was right behind my belly button and she was sitting with her little ankles crossed (just like some Fleetwood’s I know) and kept covering her sweet little face with her arms.

The Tech had to push her around to get her to move her arms so we could see her face. It was funny; she kept calling her a stinker. That’s when I turned to Robby and said “yup, she’s yours!”

We got to see a close up of her profile and it seems like she may have my nose! Robby agreed that his first thought when we saw her profile was that she had my nose. I haven’t always liked my nose, but it’s going to look so cute on little Sophie!

Oh this little girl is going to be so loved…and when I say loved I really mean spoiled.

I'm loving the new blog background! If you didn't notice, I have added a second page for photos.

Okay, So I Had This Dream...

I rarely have dreams that I remember, but early this morning I had a dream that you and Robby came to visit with your little girl. She was cute as a button, had light brown pigtails, and was very bubbly and outgoing. She was crawling, but not yet walking (I'd say about 9 months old), but had the verbal skills of a 4 or 5 year old ( I guess that's the weird dream part). She sat and played patty cake games with Aunt Carolynn.
From the beginning I figured this baby would be a boy. HOWEVER...I now believe I must change my mind, especially with today being what would have been your Grandma Fleetwood's 85th birthday. I think we are going to have ourselves a little Sophie.

Belly Shot

So I have been frustrated and stressed for the last month or so because all I want is to start showing. When people find out that I'm preggo, they immediately look at my stomach. I think (like I did) that once you are preggo you start showing.

OK so after seeing a few people that don't see me everyday, have officially told me that I am showing. And today, I actually felt preggo.

Yay! So here is my preggo pictures. I have taken a few a few weeks before so you can see the progress...if there is any. *wink wink*
