What's Been goin awwwnnn....

Breaking radio silence (why silent? I have no idea, laziness? 1st tri fatigue coming back?)

Happy 18 weeks to me! 2 more weeks until half baked and we get to see our baby boy again at his A/S!

Someone posted the other day on the message boards I frequent that it all felt "surreal" and "like a dream" - how true...

Am I really here, almost half-way through this pregnancy, after such a shitty spring/summer last year?  And how quickly is the year mark of our BFP approaching... I am so so very grateful to have a little boy on his way on this upcoming loss milestone...

Ok enough of the weepy rambling, time for some YAY-CHECK-OUT-MY-NEW-DUDS!  (No pics, but I scored two pairs of jeans from Motherhood Maternity for $9.99 - HOW, might you ask?! I returned a Christmas gift of slacks, and pants were buy one get one 50%... =) woot woot! I now have denim to fit the bump!)

 How big is baby??

Baby's about 5.6 inches long and about 6.7 ounces now, and he keeps on growing rapidly. (That's why you're probably feeling so hungry.)   Oh so there's a reason I'm famished every two hours, and it's most likely the whole growing a human thing? makes sense... =P

Can you believe he's yawning, hiccuping, sucking and swallowing? And he's twisting, rolling, punching and kicking too... Daddy can't wait to feel you baby boy, get those kicks stronger!  And we can't wait to see you in two weeks! (though we love to hear you from time to time at home on our doppler!)

Almost forgot bump shots! (disclaimer - don't mind the horribly spotty mirror - I got around to cleaning it last night, PROMISE!)
Monday, at 17w4d

  1. Hi Kate! I have been debating about commenting on your blog because I don't want you to think I'm a crazy, but I just had to tell you that I found your blog while Googling my book, "The Buggy List"! So cool that you are doing a buggy list in real life. Best wishes to you and CONGRATS! Had a MMC myself not too long ago and am now the proud mama of an 8 month old girl. I can relate to your experience and I can tell you that you are in for an amazing treat with this little one on the way.

  3. Cute pictures and I love the clothes! You will have to take pictures of you in the Asos stuff when you get it in the mail. I want to order from them but I'm just so hesitant to do maternity shopping online. It seems like sizes are all over the place and you never know how something will be cut. But maybe you will talk me into it :)

    1. Will def get pictures in the asos dresses - but I've tried them all on, and I love.love.love all four dresses... I ordered size US6 (they list UK sizes so it gets confusing, but I linked the US site) and they fit PERFECT (I was a 4-6 pre-pregnancy.)
