We had our anatomy scan on Tuesday and we got some really cute pictures. I love the little feet which I just had to post. They were able to tell the gender so we have it written down in a sealed envelope just waiting to be dropped off at the bakery. Our gender party is officially on for 6/18 since we have the gender now. I'm thinking it's a girl, but we'll see. I thought boy all along but switched to girl within the last few weeks for some reason. We'll be finding out soon enough and I cannot wait! We're headed to a family gathering in Brevard, NC this weekend and we cannot wait to get away. It will be my parents and all 6 of us kids and our other halves plus my 2 sweet nieces who are 6 and 5 months. It should be a good time. Or I will be totally annoyed by my family and over all this togetherness by the end of the weekend. It could go either way really. Without further adieu, here are pictures of our gorgeous Cupcake!




I wish everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend! And thank you to all the vets who have sacrificed for our freedom.

Holy Fatness!


I can't believe I'm showing you guys this, but I'm finally starting to show. I know I just look fat but trust me, that's not how I used to look. We had a doctor's appt this past Tuesday and I have gained 3lbs since my last appt on 4/19. It seems that I have gotten huge overnight. Just this week 3 pairs of dress pants no longer fit me.

Our anatomy scan is scheduled for this Tuesday and I can't wait to see our little Cupcake again. I can't even imagine how much s/he has grown since the last time we caught a peek at 13 weeks. I just hope nothing flashes on the screen to give away the sex. I do hope the tech can see though because we need that in order to proceed with our gender party on 6/18. I can only imagine how bad that envelope will be burning our little hands once we have it. All I know is that it's being dropped off at the bakery the first chance we get!

I'll post some pictures of our delicious Cupcake next week!

I'm such a bad blogger. I haven't posted anything in weeks and I don't even have a reason why. This pregnancy thing has made me kind of a hermit. I feel like I'm tired all the time and besides work, I have little time or energy for little else. By all means am I complaining! I'll be 18 weeks this coming Sunday and I'm starting to look really fat! My pants are getting tight so I see some new work pants in my very near future. Pants shouldn't be an issue to find but I'm starting to think I'll never find any shirts that I like. I identify as butch and maternity clothes most definitely do not. My mom did find me 2 shirts that will work but I can't exactly alternate those 2 shirts for a 5 day work week. I look all the time when we're out and I really have no clue what I'm going to wear. My mother has also taken it on as her mission to find me clothes and it really bothers her to think I'll have nothing to wear. If anyone knows where I can find some plain, simple polos that would be great. I found some at a maternity store but the colors are horrible. Since its summer the clerk told us everything is going to be bright and pastel. Gross. Some of the simple t-shirts aren't bad but then they either have a scoop neck and/or very short sleeves. I wear all men's clothes so this will definitely be a chore to find some tops! I figure outside of work I'll be ok because I can just wear basketball shorts and t-shirts but I will need some work outfits. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

In other news, we have an appt next Tuesday with the ob. I hope she will give me my results from the NT scan and blood work I had to do because I want to know my chances that everyone talks about. I'm not really worried about it and we have already said we won't do an amnio. We figure whatever God gave us is what he meant to but it would be nice to finally get the results. We're also going to schedule our anatomy scan so we can find out what sex our little Cupcake is. I've had 2 dreams that we were told it was a girl but last night I dreamed that we had a boy and it was in baby form in my dream so who knows. I still think it's a boy but we really don't care either way. We really just want to find out so we can start planning our gender party. As long as Cupcake cooperates and shows us the goods we're doing it 6/18. My dad, step-mom, and sister are even coming in from Atlanta because they are that excited. My dad and brother are going to go fishing afterward but my step-mom and sister are on a mission to do some shopping. My dad and step-mom even offered to buy the crib we found which is so very nice of them.

I hope all is well with the rest of you out there!
