21 weeks

Her movement has been so much fun, it's like an inside joke between her and I as no one else can feel it yet.  I can feel my energy level changing and I feel like I can move as fast as I'd like, but the bruises on my legs (from smashing into my desk) tell another story.  I seem to forget this extra body I'm carrying with me.  :)  So I'm working on moving slower.  I find myself thinking about what she'll be like... what her temperament will be like, will it be a good fit for Porch and I?  Will it be easy or will we have a slight mismatch?  

How far along? 21 weeks
Total weight gain: Happy to report that Porch thinks I'm all belly & I'm just gonna go with that.  Until the doctor tells me there's something wrong, I'm just gonna go ahead and roll with it.
Maternity clothes?   I am wearing the belly band more and more!  My sweatpants are getting tight in the waist.
Stretch marks?  None yet, I have been a lotioning machine because I'm so itchy!
Sleep:  Mostly good!  Slept through the night on Sunday!  
Best moment this week: Creating a baby registry for Baby Porch :)  That was hard work but exciting as we start to think about just how much "stuff" this peanut is going to have...
Miss anything?  I miss Sunday Funday.  But hopefully by football season, I'll be back in action ;)
Food cravings: Nothing that I'm aware of ... still have a love for ketchup.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing really. Smelly garbage makes my stomach turn though!
Gender: Baby Girl :)
Labor signs: Not yet!  Keep marinating, love nugget!
Symptoms: The bump is growing!  Like, seriously, growing.
Belly button in or out?  In.
Wedding rings on or off: On.  And loose.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy.  I can't believe how fast this time flying... trying to savor all of the little moments and her movements.
Looking forward to: Having Porch feel her move; the movements aren't quite grand enough for him to enjoy yet, but she was going crazy bananas last night during the How I Met Your Mother series finale.  She obviously knows good tv (and I'm a little concerned about that).
Baby is the size of:  Carrot

Charlotte {9 months}

Let's just put this out there, we picked Charlotte before Charlotte was a princess.  ;)  And I'm not sure that the royal baby will ever be called Charlie or Charlie Bug and I'm even more certain that I don't care what they named their kid.  It's just about to be an amazingly popular baby name and we were TOTES ahead of that trend. Charlotte is 9 months old already! Stats Weight:  20 lbs, 12 oz (86.13 %ile) Length:  29.75 inches (98.75 %ile) Head circumference:  18.23 inches (96.69 %ile) This girl is perfect.  She is proportional and amazingly squishy. Teeth:  still just the 2 lower, but I'm confident she'll have a few top teeth soon.  She's been a drool machine lately and everything is back to being in her mouth. Charlotte likes... ... walking around the house (holding mama and daddy's fingers) ... Army crawling, especially when she can pull on the high pile carpet in her room ... those Gerber wheel treat things ... bath time ...

Charlotte's birth story

Thank goodness this isn't my 40 week update; I was really nervous that I'd have to write one of those and even possibly the dreaded 41 week update!  Today was her due date, but we got to meet her just a little early.  Charlotte Esther joined our family at 2:07am on Friday, August 8th... and changed our lives forever.  There's now a squishy baby who calls for us and loves nothing more than snuggling on our chests.  We are, in fact, living the dream.  A dream 4 years in the making and worth every moment.  My heart is so full of love for Charlotte and I am so excited to see how she grows and changes. I have always enjoyed reading the birth stories of my blogger friends' babies and felt it gave me hope as it was the final moment in the battle against infertility, the crossing of a finish line.  So today, in celebration of love and this chubby cheeked baby girl, I share with you the story of Charlotte's birth. Charlotte's Birth Story... I woke up Thur...

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?
