20 weeks Pregnant

So I an now 20 weeks pregnant. I can't believe I am halfway. Already I can't sleep through the night (I partly blame John because he moves so much and is always throwing an arm or leg over me), I have to use the restroom all the time, I eat 6 meals a day, and I'm losing my mind. But other than that it's been great!! I can feel the baby move now. Yesterday was the first time I really felt her move (I guess you could say I finally recognized what I was feeling as her moving). Today she was very active and moved after every meal. She must like food like her mom! John is excited and puts his hand on my belly to rubs her because he's sure she wants to be rubbed and pampered just like him. It's been fun but I'm not looking forward to getting huge and being uncomfortable all the time! It feels like I have forever left but it's still not long enough! Well here's the picture of me from tonight. I'm at my largest and John says I've doubled in size in the last week! I'm still in normal clothes but today I used the rubberband method on my pants. So much more comfortable! Well, I'll post some more pictures in 4 more weeks!

Cancun days 1-3

So I'm finally getting around to our Cancun trip. It was so much fun!! When we were on the plane thinking "Are we actually going to Cancun?" We planned this trip in March so it's been a long time coming! We got to the timeshare at 11:30AM so we had all day to play until Mom and Dad arrived. We checked in then just played at the beach for a few hours. It was a perfect way to start our fun filled week of craziness!

Mom and Dad got stopped at the airport by timeshare people and they bribed them to go to a timeshare presentation the next day. So on Sunday we went to a 9AM timeshare presentation but then after 2 hours we got hooked up with all these free things just for sitting through the speech. We spent the rest of the day at that all-inclusive hotel and the boys got massages while mom and I got facials for free of course. We pigged out on Miami Vices and all the food we could eat and lounged by the pool and beach until we ate at the hotels Japanese Steakhouse for dinner. It was a fun day to experience the all-inclusive aspect of a hotel.

Monday we went on a fun boat ride to Isla de las Mujeres (free thanks to the timeshare presentation). There was dancing, entertainment and drinks on the way over. Once there we went over to swim with the dolphins (again free). When I say we I mean John, Mom and Dad. When you are pregnant you don't get to do certain things. I took lots of pictures and John was like a little boy on Christmas morning playing with the dolphin. After that we had a quick snack then went Scuba Diving! They just put us on a boat, gave us instructions on the way to the reef (which happens to be the 2nd biggest reef in the world) and threw them overboard! John was worried because he literally had 5 minutes of instructions before his first time scuba diving but he was only 30 feet deep and with other people so he ended up loving it. I snorkled above them and followed their bubbles wherever they went. There were so many fish up where I was so I can only imagine the amazing things they saw at the reefs down below. We then ran to catch the boat back to Cancun and literally fell into bed that night. Well I'm tired so I'll have to finish the rest of the week in another post. I'll also make a slideshow so you can see lots of pictures instead of just a few. How cute is John in his little scuba diving outfit!?

Pretty in Pink!

Well, as you can already tell by the color of my blog it's a girl! She was not camera shy at all during the ultrasound. She was showing off her curves and cute little booty but wouldn't let us see her face or even her profile (she got tired at the end, fell asleep and wouldn't budge). At one point she was doing the splits (which gave us a 100% "It's a girl" shot) but after that she snapped her legs shut and crossed them at the ankles. We are very excited and it's time to let the decorating and shopping begin! I'll put the pictures on once I scan them in. She weighs around 11 ounces and is right on schedule for February 22nd. So if any of you are having or have some young eligible bachelors, bring them on over in 20 years because she will be a cutie (but watch out, John has already bought his shot gun)!

Vacation Fun

John and I are headed to Cancun this Saturday for a week of fun in the sun! We don't have any set plans while we are there. We are thinking of going to Chichen Itza to see all the ruins, swimming/snorkling with lots of fish, and swimming with the dolphins at X-Carat. Has anyone been there that has any trip advise or must do activities? Let us know!!!

Bad Eyes

To accomodate an old friend with bad eyes (Jim), I have changed the background to make it easier for him to read. I chose the color green because I feel it is a neutral color for the baby. On September 29th we find out the gender of our little bundle of fun/joy/our lives are over. Be expecting a pretty pink or manly blue later that day. Feel free to make a guess at the gender!

Baby Bump

I've had a lot of requests for pictures documenting my pregnancy so I thought I would put the pictures on here. John took this picture a few minutes ago in one of my tightest shirts so you can see my baby bump at 16 weeks. I will add a picture every 4 weeks so you can see my belly get ginormous. I've noticed when I wake up in the morning there is no bump, but as the day goes on it grows and grows. By bed time I have a full on belly but after sleeping through the night I wake up to no belly! I am starting to get comments from excited coworkers saying, "Oh, look at your belly getting bigger!" It makes me feel like a fatty. If any of you have good stories to share, please do. I could use a good laugh. Well, I'm going to go eat something (hungry like normal).
