Two posts in one day?

Yep. That's because as soon as I published my last post I viewed my blog and I was amazed to see how big poppy is over there in the bubble -------------------->
WOW!

And here's what's happening this week in my belly;

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.

4 MORE DAYS!!!!!

Yes I'm yelling, and yes that is 5 explanation points in my title. I'm freakin' excited! I can't wait to see little Poppy again. (S)he is going to be the cutest little baby ever (just you wait and see).

I'm pretty sure I've been feeling movement but I still can't be for sure. It doesn't feel like flutters like a lot of people say, it feels more like a little tap from the inside. Or I've heard it described as a twitching feeling or popcorn popping and both those sound like what I feel. I'm hoping on Monday I can see Poppy kicking and feel it at the same time to be sure.

Nothing else is really going on. My belly is getting bigger and I'm still feeling great. What else could I ask for?

The progress of my belly

4 weeks, 12 weeks, 14 weeks, 16 weeks and 17 weeks




It's getting big!

I found the cutest bedding

I'm very picking when it comes to bedding because I've be searching and searching and literately looked at thousands and could not find one I liked. The problem is 1) I don't want a theme. I don't want it to look like Winnie the Pooh or some flower threw up all over the nursery. 2) If it's a girl I want to paint the walls pink, or blue for a boy. All of the bedding is either ALL pink or ALL blue. I need something with a little pink or blue in it but not too much. I'm not being too picky am I?

Well today I think I found the bedding I want if it's a girl.
It's almost perfect. Yes there are butterflies on it, but no not too many. And this way I can paint the walls pink and it won't be too much.

Now if I can only find boy bedding I like. Maybe I won't have to worry about that though. Well see, in just 10 short days!

Today's bump!

It could be the huge burrito I had for lunch but my belly sure is looking big today.
Sorry it's bad quality but it was taken with my camera phone.

I can't believe it. I'm almost 17 weeks. Only 12 days until the next ultrasound. And I *think* I've been feeling movement but I still can't be sure.

16 weeks down, 24 weeks to go

2 weeks to go! Just 14 days! I can't wait to see Poppy again. I really hope that we can find out the sex. I think I need to have a little talk with Poppy about showing the goods. I might have to promise something really nice in order to get it done but I'm willing to do that.

I have my 16 weeks belly pic. I swear my belly grows everyday.


And according to my scale at home I still haven't gained any weight. I'm still down the 7 pounds that I lost in the 1st trimester. I've been walking as much as I can and I've been eating really healthy so hopefully I won't gain too much overall.

That's about it for now. I still feel great, and still to this day I have not felt sick at all. I'm okay with that. Hopefully I'll start feeling movement soon. It could be anytime now (although it's still a little on the early side).
