Little Miss Update

Well, our little miss is getting bigger and bigger! My Dad just told me the other day that if a human continues to grow at the rate it does in the womb, you'd be the size of a battleship by the time you were 1... Crazy! I'm now 22 weeks along (!) which means she is about 9 or 10 inches from head to foot and weighs a whole pound!!! It still blows me away that she'll weigh at least 6 times more than that by the time she enters this world!

She is definitely practicing her ballet or soccer or something, she kicks like crazy and it's so precious! Just the other night Kyle was complaining because he hadn't felt her in three days and then she kicked him HARD! She must've heard him...She's already a Daddy's girl, doing what she can to make him happy! Although in a few years it probably won't be kicking him that makes him happy. :)

I am showing much more now. I still have yet to have someone offer me their seat on the Subway (one of the things I'm most looking forward to while pregnant, not gonna lie) but maybe that will happen soon.

Now that we know we're having a girl I'm starting to think of what to do for the nursery. Things are a tad complicated being that we won't move until 3 weeks before I'm due and we have no idea where we'll be moving, so I'm not sure what the space will look like to start with. But I'd like to start getting ideas on concepts and key pieces that will hopefully work in any space. One thing is for certain, Kyle and I both do not care for really "baby" looking nurseries, so whatever we pick, it will just flow with the rest of our apartment, and have our same sense of style... Oh the possibilities! There also seem to be so many things that you "need" when you have a child, which I'm trying my best to really decipher what we actually WILL need and what we can do without. That's one of the perks about living in NYC is that there is limited space, so whatever you have, you better really need/use it! I like it that way though. We've never liked clutter so it's a great excuse for cutting back. And honestly...millions of people have had babies before all the "must have" items were ever invented! :)

That being said: If you had to pick your top three baby products that made life with baby so much better, what would they be? I'd LOVE to have any inside tips before we attempt to tackle the baby registering process!!! :)

I'll leave you with a few snapshots of my growing belly from this week!

Belly Updates

Ok, I figured since I just got back from the gym and I'm wearing the good ol' green gym tank, I had better take pictures for week 19!

Here they are!





Roxy still isn't quite sure what is going on with her Mom, but she can definitely tell something is changing! She is always right next to me, or on top of me when she has the option. It's so cute!

This Monday we will find out if we are having a little Princess or a little Cowboy. I will let you know Monday night!

Belly Updates!

Ok, I realize it is fairly pathetic that my design blog has somehow seemed to morph into a pregnancy/baby blog, but what can I say, not much has been inspiring me lately on the design front due to the mental distractions I have going on as of late! So for all you design junkies, I sincerely apologize!

With that being said, I have a few new pictures to share! As I uploaded these a few minutes ago, I saw my belly pictures from the day after we found out, it's already a wee bit depressing how skinny I seemed compared to now! I will only continue to grow, but hopefully will be back to that thin tight belly soon after!

I feel like the difference between this week and last week is the most growth/change in one week so far! Kyle is so cute and every day can't get over how much the baby is growing, rubbing my belly and talking to our little one telling it how much he already loves it. It's amazing to me that already our little rascal can hear voices and even see some light change if I'm somewhere really bright! Speaking of 'it', we have 21 days left until we find out the babies sex!!!! I will post what we will be having as soon as we find out!

The ones in my trusty green workout tank are from today, 16 weeks and 3 days.





Had to sneak a little Roxy pic in there, snuggling with her Daddy. She is our first born, ya know!


And these are from last week, right at 15 weeks. I think the muffin in the background definitely attributed to the belly growth between 15 and 16 weeks! :)




Thankfully all my clothes are still fitting just fine, so even though the belly is starting to grow, especially in this last week, I haven't had to go buy anything yet. I'm hoping to get away with just a few pairs of maternity jeans, and not anything else maternity. I'd much rather sport some cute loose flowy sweaters and ponchos that are so in this season so I can wear them next winter too.

Belly Updates

Ok, so there really isn't too much to show yet being as I've only gained a whopping two pounds, but I've had some people asking how much my belly has grown, so I thought I'd post a few snapshots!

I randomly ended up having the same shirt on today as I did when I took my first pictures, so maybe I should wear it in all of my belly shots from here on out! Although it really is not the cutest, it is my favorite workout top though :)

So this is on my birthday, July 1. The day after we found out we were expecting. (I was about 5 weeks along)







And this is today, at 12 weeks! (Ok, I just realized it sort of looks like Roxy has her head in my butt! Obviously she does not!)





How about you? If you have had a baby or are pregnant, when did you feel like you really started to show?
