Woah, Baby!
...5 weeks away from meeting Miss BMonkey!I would post pictures of her adorable nursery, but my steel trap of a husband doesn't want the little hint to her name to be public. Maybe when we're within days of her arrival I'll sneak a picture or two up here. :)

B-Monkey, Checkin' in!
Do we have names picked out? Yes. Are we sharing? Still nope!
How Far Along: 23 weeks, 2 days
Due Date: January 24
Size of baby: 12+ inches (as long as an ear of corn!), over 1 lb.
Total Weight Gain: ~18 lbs...eek!
Maternity Clothes: OH yes, and they're the ONLY thing I can wear anymore (for the most part)
Gender: My intuition was right! A pretty little mini-me. :)
Movements: TONS! I didn't feel her for a while due to her positioning, and then out of nowhere--wham! She's a strong little girl; I've gotten quite the beating over the last 6 weeks. so cool!
Sleep: Still pretty normal, but I do wake up a little more often than usual.
What I miss: Rigorous exercise. I'm sure I could push harder than I do, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. And there's been a few times during this hot this summer when I wouldn't have minded a cold beer or a nice glass of wine with dinner!
Cravings: I still can't get enough spicy food or water. Grapes are still a favorite, too.
Symptoms: I've had it so easy...hoping it stays that way! I've just started to have a little lower back pain on the days that I spend a lot of time on my feet.
Best Moment this week: Feeling her kick/punch/roll around so much! It's such a crazy feeling.
Funny pregnancy story of the week: Hmm, I don't know if I have one. It's pretty fun to feel her kick really hard when Eric says her name. Probably just coincidence, but we still find it cool.

The News You've Been Waiting For
For those wondering when this day would come, wonder no longer. We have officially taken on the title of Expectant Parents to our (affectionately nicknamed) little "B-Monkey". The munchkin made him/herself known just 2 days before we left for Paris on our honeymoon back in May, but we waited to make the news public until the notorious 1st trimester came to a close. "What? Paris?!" you say. Yea, sorry about that...hopefully I'll be better at baby updates than I am at life updates these days. Here's the first of many:
Do we have names picked out? Yes. Are we sharing? Nope! :)
Total Weight Gain: ~3 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: Not yet! But I did just buy my first maternity shirt in anticipation. :)
Gender: TBA, but I think it might be a girl. I'm probably wrong, but that's the feeling this week.
Movements: None yet, but I'm really looking forward to feeling those little feet/elbows!
Sleep: Still pretty normal, but I'm already trying to train myself to sleep on my side.
What I miss: Hmmm, not much. Energy? I was pretty bummed not being able to try the French wine in Paris, too.
Cravings: Mexican/spicy food, pineapple, watermelon, grapes, and ridiculous amounts of water.
Symptoms: Mild but persistent nausea (especially if I don't eat frequently) and tiredness are the two big ones. In the last week I've been feeling little stretching pains in my stomach, too.
Best Moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat for the first time this morning! Such an amazing experience. I SO wish I could have shared the moment with daddy-to-be, but it was still special and exciting.
Funny pregnancy story of the week: I've never been a particularly moody or emotional girl, so randomly bursting into tears while having a nice lunch in Newport on the Levee with my family was pretty hilarious. Nothing bad had happened; we were sitting in the sun enjoying ourselves when our food came and I think I had the very fleeting realization that I wasn't very hungry. Cue the tears. Seriously?! Taken off-guard, mom, dad, and sister asked what was wrong and I couldn't help but laugh through the tears as I told them I had no freakin' clue! My sister wasted no time in laughing with (or at?) me. Can't wait till she's on this hormonal rollercoaster someday.
Will we find out the sex? Yes, assuming B-Monkey cooperates.
Do we have names picked out? Yes. Are we sharing? Nope! :)
How Far Along: 12 weeks.
Due Date: Too early to be exact, but somewhere between Jan 24-28. Snow baby!
Size of baby: About 2 in., .5 oz. (The size of a lime)
Total Weight Gain: ~3 lbs.
Maternity Clothes: Not yet! But I did just buy my first maternity shirt in anticipation. :)
Gender: TBA, but I think it might be a girl. I'm probably wrong, but that's the feeling this week.
