Today I went in for another OB check up. Baby G and I are doing great! I got to listen to its heartbeat and Dr. Grady could hear baby moving around. He said I should start feeling "flutters" between now and week 18...but he said I could easily mistake it for gas. I think things are going to get crazy when I will be able to actually feel baby moving... and really know it.
I've been getting a lot of questions lately about whether we are going to find out the gender. The answer is yes and we should find out at next months appointment. Conveniently we only have to wait 3 weeks. I've been going in once every 4 weeks for my appointments but, since Dr. Grady is going on vaca during week 4, we get to find out a week earlier...lucky us! So as of right now we should know March 24th.
It's hard to believe in a month I will be halfway through my pregnancy. So far it's been painless and uneventful (and I couldn't be more thankful for that). I think I'm just starting to get a baby bump now, though I can still fit into all my clothes. However, I am catching myself wanting to unbutton my pants while sitting and know in the near future I will need to invest in some maternity wear. For now I am still enjoying being "skinny".
A special shout out to Kate Rabie... she introduced me to this lifesaving book, Baby Bargains. It's basically a comprehensive guide to baby gear and what you "actually" need for baby vs what the baby industry tells you. It has non-biased reviews on products and great tips for saving money! Though we haven't taken the leap yet, I now know when I step foot into Baby's R Us for the first time I will not be completely overwhelmed. This is a must have book for any parent-to-be!
Will post pics soon of the bump and rewind time a bit and finally post the videos of us telling our parents the good news back at Christmas.

Hey Lindsay! I can't wait to hear if you are having a boy or girl... I think finding out was the most exciting part so far for us!!! And the Baby Bargains book is AMAZING! Someone turned me on to it too and I don't know how I would have done my registry without it. Glad you are still feeling great!
