21 weeks...



Well, I am officially half way there (as of last week)!!!  I am feeling really good!  My belly is now obvious to people!  Still not huge, but I at least look pregnant now!  That makes me happy!  I also felt my baby girl move for the first time (I think) this past weekend, 2 times!  Right now it just feels like a bubble or something, but it is way cool!  I am really enjoying sweets (which for awhile I wasn't craving at all)!  I am diggin' the strawberry shortcake with major amounts of whipped cream, pumpkin cookies, ANYTHING peanut butter, yogurt covered pretzels.... just to name a few!  Lee and I finally started registering for our upcoming baby showers!  That is an intense, exciting and overwhelming experience!!!  Whoa.  There is a lot of pretty rad stuff out there!  A lot of stuff I have no idea how to use either!  A breast pump!?!?!  What the hell?!?!  hahaha  Now, I am getting anxious to start setting up the nursery!  We are leaning towards a Dr. Suess theme!  We just need to do some Tetris moving of some furniture and boxes and then we will be able to start creating our daughter's room!  I am super duper excited!!!  I am still in the prenatal swim class, and plan to be throughout my entire pregancy!  I really love hanging out with other pregnant ladies and getting the exercise!  I am also planning to start a prenatal yoga class soon!  That should be sweet, too!  Things in the Berken household are great as we slowly prepare for a new member!!!!  Can not wait to meet our daughter!!!!!

Dammit!!!  These jeans I am wearing today keep unzipping themselves!!!  The belly band just isn't working today!!!  Good thing next week calls for 70degree weather all week... maybe I can break out some cotton, stretchy skirts!!!  Spring must be here because I am growing, growing, growing....  :)

20 weeks...

Got my first pair of prego jeans this past weekend!  Now I can let it all hang out!  Whoohooo!  (The pink shirt kind of clashes with our red wall, but I wanted to stay in the same spot throughout! Ah, well...)

It's a GIRL!!!!

Lee and I went in on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 for ultrasound pics, measurments and to find out the sex of the little bambino!  We had the tech write it down and seal it so we could go somewhere else besides the doctor's office, to find out!  It was worth the 30 minute wait!  Very tough, but well worth it!  We drove up to Horsetooth Resevoir with Axl and sat down by the water and opened it!  It was surreal!  Amazing!  I can not even express how excited we are!  I can start buying rad girl outfits and Lee says she will be his lil' fishing buddy!  He also says he will need to go out and buy a shotgun!  hahaha  We shared the news with our moms & dads, broski's and then all of our close friends, immediately after!  It is cool to now be able to refer to "the baby" as she or her... CRAZY!!!!  I am in love already!!!

Other random notes...

I could live on cereal, strawberry shortcake and Noosa Yogurt.  No joke.

17 weeks!!!

I started a prenatal swim class yesterday, it was really cool!  Six women total, all shapes and sizes.  It was pretty cool to be around other pregnant women and talk about prego stuff!   I think I will really enjoy this class!  Lee and I are counting down the days (March 16) until we can find out if our baby is a boy or girl!  We can not wait!  I started using the Belly Band with a few of my jeans, as I can no longer button them and be comfortable!  Pretty awesome!  Still waiting for that big POP though, where I look major prego!  All in all, I am feeling pretty good!  :)
