I am a little over 18 weeks and have the combination of a small baby bump and chubbiness. This is definitely the awkward stage where I know I am pregnant, but if a stranger looks at me they see a slightly chubby around-the-waist look. I would show a picture, but no one needs to see it.
In exciting new, we have two weeks left until Julio and I find out if our babe is a boy or a girl. I'm getting very excited and would love to have a boy. I have lost both my Grandpas and father-in-law, and it would be nice to have a male figure around. Nonetheless, whatever the gender, we will love him or her just the same.
Side note: We have a name picked out for a girl and only a middle name for a boy; we still have time.
Saturday, my mother and I went to Burlington Coat Factory (baby area), Macy's and BabiesRUs; just to get ideas. This was very helpful. I can look online as much as I want, but it's not the same as touching, feeling, and seeing all the options right in front of my eyes. Many items were examined and these two beauties were found; the crib and stroller. However, the bottom picture is a crib from Target that I really like as well. The common theme is gray.
Ughh!! Baby stuff is expensive, and thank goodness I am just looking and not buying. I am going to need to save and save and save some more.
P.S. Julio will start his final year for his Masters degree! YaY! He still wants to do a Phd, but we will see with the babe :)
Sincere,
Jrn
