This week I'll post my responses to the gender test on B@by Z*ne, to give you more info than just belly pictures.

Here is my 19 week picture, taken this morning before going to the baby shower!

19 Weeks (please note, dress is pulled tight to actually show belly, it is not this tight :)

17 Weeks

19 Weeks (again, pulling my dress tight with my other hand :)

17 weeks!

We stayed over on the east coast this weekend house/dog sitting for my parents. They have 2 acres fenced in around their house and it is doggy heaven for Chief.

This past week I started to feel like I had a fish swimming around inside my belly. It would "swim" up and brush on my tummy several times throughout the day. Then on Saturday I felt kicks!

You guys, I never knew it would be this awesome!!!

So the baby is moving around tons, mostly fluttery/popcorn still, but also the fish move and some kicks, it is seriously the best. ever.

Here is my 17 week pic from Saturday at Satellite Beach:




This is my classic pose for almost every picture I have ever taken. Arm on hip, turned to side, leg out front, pointed toe. What. a. dork.
