Week 20 & 21

I had promised a few to get this up by Friday...which obviously didn't happen but to make up for that this one is going to do double duty; two belly pics last weeks and this weeks. Which will also make it easier to see how much I have grown...if any.

We had an appointment last week and it went really well. I gained some weight so the doctor said I am back on track weight wise, so that is good. I am glad I don't have to hear them tell me that I am way under weight. Not only did I gain some weight but Aubrie grew like a weed in the month that we last had an appointment. Last month she was 5 days behind where I was gestationally and this time she was actually 5 days ahead!

So we are both doing well. She is kicking like CRAZY and getting stronger! We haven't done many other baby things. We did buy our stroller...which was on back order but it should be in, in one to two weeks. I am going to go chair/glider shopping probably in June when Gil is gone. I think I have narrowed it down to two chairs but we will see when I go check them out again.

Finally here is my belly picture from last week (20 weeks and a few days)

This one was taken today...21 weeks and a few days

I told you last time about a gift we received from Gil's parents. We/I opened it the second Gil walked through the door. It was this adorable basket full of things embroidered with Aubrie's name. There was a bath robe, towel and a little bear among other things. It is really cute and from Paris! She is already a chic baby!

I hope you all have a great week leading up to Memorial weekend and a nice relaxing long weekend.

Baby Kicks & Bump Shot

Last Tuesday, the 4th of May, was the first time that I definitively knew that it was Aubrie kicking me! It was 2am and I had gotten up to go to the bathroom. When I got back in bed I felt all of these thuds, one right after the other. Since then she hasn't stopped. She seems to be very active at night and whenever I am laying down. She has gotten stronger since then and I can't wait for Gil to get home tomorrow for him to feel it for the first time.

We have our next appointment on Friday and I am excited to see how much she has grown as well as me! Each time we go in we are just hoping I have gained enough weight to please the doctors. If my growing belly is any indication I think I will be fine!

The following photo is from my point of view. I am now 20 weeks-ish...depending on who's calculations you go by. Either way I am roughly 20/21 weeks.

My growing bump!
I ordered some bumgenius diapers a few weeks ago because there was a website having a promotion where if you spent $15 you got a free one. So I got my first reusable diapers this weekend. Aren't they cute!? The yellow one is an xs and I can't wait to have little Aubrie to put in it and the pink one is a one size fits all, so it will grow with her. I am excited to see how much do or don't like them.
Tomorrow Gil gets home and we get to open the package we got from his parents. It arrived on Saturday and it has been torturing me since then! It is a very big box and Marisol and my mom are really really excited about what is inside, so check back to find out what is in the box for little Aubrie!
