I’ll start with the most fun update this week.\u00a0 Yesterday, Pete felt our little girl kick against his hand on my belly for the first time!\u00a0 I have felt her against my hand several times now, but we could never get the time\/place right for Pete to feel her.\u00a0 But he finally did!\u00a0 The look on his face was so cute. =) \u00a0 Priceless.\u00a0 Then he kissed my tummy.\u00a0 It almost brought a tear to my eye.\u00a0 He already loves our little girl. \u2665\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I’m having so much fun feeling her.\u00a0 Yesterday, especially.\u00a0 She is getting more active!\u00a0 Or probably more accurately…she is getting bigger and stronger, so I am feeling her more and more.\u00a0 I’m feeling her all over my belly now, too.\u00a0 Before, she was almost always very low.\u00a0 Now she bebops around from left to right, up and down.\u00a0 So cool…. =)<\/p>\n

Other things this week:<\/p>\n

I am enjoying my maternity pants.\u00a0 After I wore my dress pants to work a couple of days, I was very sad that they must go in the laundry.\u00a0 At least it is a lot easier to wear my regular dress pants with a belly band than it is to wear my regular jeans.\u00a0 That just borders on impossible now.\u00a0 I really need to hem them…especially the dress pants…heels and I just do not get along.\u00a0 I think I can hem those myself with the iron-on tape stuff.\u00a0 But the jeans, I think I’m just going to suck it up and take them to be hemmed.\u00a0 If I do it with the tape, it’ll look weird because the stitching at the bottom will be all different.\u00a0 Or I could just continue being cheap and rolling them up.\u00a0 Loving the jeans in general though.<\/p>\n

As much as I’m loving the maternity pants, I can’t say the same for tops yet.\u00a0 One day this week, a spot on my hand cracked and bled, and I didn’t notice it until I had a nice, prominent blood streak on my white sweater.\u00a0 And I still had a full afternoon of work to do.\u00a0 I didn’t think my patients would really appreciate the bloody look, and I had a few minutes, so I decided to buy something to change into.\u00a0 I didn’t want to buy a regular shirt that wouldn’t fit in a couple of weeks or so, so I figured I’d look for a maternity top, even if it wasn’t a perfect fit just yet.\u00a0 I ran to Old Navy to see what kind of tops I could find that would be relatively cheap, acceptable for work, and somewhat match the rest of my attire.\u00a0 I grabbed an XS in a grayish purple top…a flowy one.\u00a0 I usually like the fitted stuff more than the flowy stuff, but it was pretty cute, and the material was very soft and nice.\u00a0 And it was $10.\u00a0 I went to the bathroom to change, then came out to check myself in the mirror.\u00a0 As I suspected, I looked absolutely ridiculous<\/em>.\u00a0 Some of my regular shirts are just starting to fit a little weird, but this…I looked like I was wearing a tent.\u00a0 The ladies at work thought it was cute, but I’m 100% it was not cute. =P\u00a0 I’m sure I’ll have plenty of opportunities to wear it later though.<\/p>\n

New topic.\u00a0 Since we found out we’re having a girl, I started looking at bedding and stuff online.\u00a0 But other than that, I hadn’t really looked at girlie clothes and whatnot.\u00a0 Even though I work in a department store several days of the week.\u00a0 This last week, my mom came to visit me for lunch (fun, thanks mom!), and we went upstairs to look around.\u00a0 It was fun. =)<\/p>\n

Baby girl also got her first present(s) this week!\u00a0 From “Aunt” Laura. =)\u00a0 She got some stuff in a grab bag from Precious Moments, and it is cute.\u00a0 I’m sure she’ll especially love the plush puppy.\u00a0 It is mommy’s favorite. =)\u00a0 Thanks Laura!\u00a0 I need to post pictures.<\/p>\n

21 week cartoon baby.\u00a0 Approximately 7 inches long!\u00a0 Wow!<\/p>\n
