It's Growing!

November30

We had our last appointment with Dr. Solomon yesterday morning. We got our 20 week sonogram (though I’m actually in my 19th week). Amazing! Baby bean has grown so much! It blows my mind! The baby was determined to make it’s presence known not only on the screen at the doctor’s office but all day by moving around constantly. It was pretty crazy how much it moved yesterday. I’m still getting used to feeling that going on inside my tummy!

The sonogram was great and revealed no problems. Everything checked out perfectly normal. The baby was moving around, and it even flexed it’s arm muscle for us. Ah, growing a future CrossFit champ I hope. Nothing would make me quite so proud as having my baby be at the Games someday. 🙂 A mom can dream…

I’ve been documenting the ever growing belly, but I was hesitant to share it with the world until we were further along. Considering that next week I’ll be halfway through my pregnancy (assuming that I go full term), I think I’m ready to share. For now, they’re just stills, but when baby is out, I really want to put it to music and make a video that shows my pregnancy journey. Till then click below to be whisked away to the land of baby bumps…

If you like to gamble (but not really) then I have the perfect opportunity for you! Below is a link to an online guessing game where you can take a stab at trying to guess everything about our baby’s birth from gender to time of day. Try it out. I’ll let you know who comes closest in each category as well as overall. Simply follow the link and then search for “TheBabyBean” (case sensitive).

Aside from growing a human, we’re just gearing up for Christmas around here. Since Bryan’s parents will be here on the 11th and we will be leaving for Mississippi on the 22nd, there isn’t a lot of time for us to do shopping and wrapping. Today is the last day of November which means Christmas decorations can go up tomorrow! I’m very picky about when my Christmas decorations go up and down – never up before December 1st and always down by December 26th (except we’ll be out of town then so as soon as we get back). I just can’t understand having them up from Thanksgiving to New Year’s. But, hey, that’s just me!

And in recap, Thanksgiving was good. We spent it over at Bryan’s grandparents house in Leander. I really enjoyed extra time spent with Bryan while he was off work. I think we made the most of it. As soon as he got off work at noon on Wednesday, we went to eat, Mt. Bonnell, and then The Spiderhouse Cafe. It was spontaneous and very much awesome! I live for moments like these.

Things I’m digging at the moment:

Word Warrior for iPhone: I love word games, and I especially love the unique twist this one brings. It’s a word game/role playing(ish) mash-up.

– our new kitchen table (our old one is for sale by the way) even if it has to stay in the box till we sell the old one…hint hint

– the 2 uber cuter, uber stylish baby items we’ve ordered – neon green chucks and a plaid fedora. Hey, my baby is gonna have style!

– my awesome husband for all of his handy work around the house most notably the new shelving in the nursery closet!!

Things getting on my nerves at the moment:

– the ever changing temperature. I’m not a fan of cold weather, but I’m also not a fan of not knowing how to dress each morning. It’s crazy…really. I’d prefer a cold front come through and finally bring winter to Austin.
