Baby:
- We've started our weekly appointments at UCONN to have her heart monitored - they check the PR interval and so far everything is fine. We have a full fetal echo cardiogram in a couple weeks to actually look at her heart and make sure everything is forming ok, flowing ok, etc.
- We haven't done any work on the nursery. We haven't bought a single baby item (save for the I heart daddy onesie I got C for Father's day).
- Lisa got us our first girlie outfit - ADORABLE! C is still adjusting to her being a girl and he was a little taken back at just HOW girlie it was... get used to it, bud!
- I am 20 weeks tomorrow --- half way!
- I feel her kick every day. It's the coolest, weirdest, coolest feeling ever. Little pops, thumps, flicks... Love it.
- No names yet.
- I've gained a total of 13 lbs... 2 in first tri, 7 from week 12-16, and 4 from 16-20. Eh. I guess that middle time should be less, but it is what it is.
- I need new everything - bras especially. My bras are digging in under my boobs... by the end of the day I just want to rip the damn thing off. FREE THE BOOBS! I have like 2 pair of non maternity pants that still fit... but either don't or barely button. I need new pants, new shirts to go over the pants' waist line, and new bras. The money tree is just not doing as well as expected...
Non-baby (as in, real life):
- This weekend is 4th of July - Our First anniversary is Sunday the 5th! Insane...I seriously can't believe it's been a year. One year ago today I was getting my hair highlighted, running around like a mad woman to get final details done with seating, signs, baskets, gift bags, bbq, honeymoon packing.... What a wonderful, crazy weekend that was and what an amazing, eventful year it's been since! Job, wedding, honeymoon, house, dog, baby --- we need to slow down :)
- Amanda is coming up tonight, Ben tomorrow... and much of the wedding party is coming on Saturday (inc family) for a wedding 2.0 cookout! There will be noticeable absences, but I'm glad we are getting people together at the house.
- C has worked hard this week (when it hasn't been raining...) on putting bricks down in the back yard to extend the tiny "patio" that was outside the garage door. Eventually we'll make this into a real patio so we can have a nice table out there, but for now we just need a stable place for the grill (the new one...since the old one blew up and melted. That was awesome). We've lost one too many hot dogs because the grill was on unstable mulch, so we decided to get rid of the mulch next to the house and put (free from the ILs) bricks down to extend the pattern. It looks awesome!
- Mom and Dad celebrated 40 years last weekend... The three kids hosted a party at Tradition Golf Club in Wallingford and it went really well. We did photoboards, had music from 1969 playing, replicated their wedding cake, had similar flowers on the tables, and many of their friends throughout the years were there to celebrate with them. It was a beautiful afternoon! Go Mom & Dad!
That's a long update! Sorry Lisa :) You are the only one that reads this besides me...so basically I'm journaling so I don't forget stuff that happens!
And on a very important note... Happy birthday to Lisa Stadz!!
