Me: Well, so far I think I've gained the majority of the weight in my belly and a just a little in other places.
Hubby: Well, you've gained some here too (pointing at my outside thighs) and in your butt. You know, if you ran more often that would help.
Me: Wow, gee thanks.. I can't believe you said that! I think you just won Hubby of the year award!
Obviously, I know he didn't mean it the way it sounded.... Or at least I don't think he did! haha sometimes, they don't think before speaking do they? I know he's just trying to help so that I'm not miserable post pregnancy! Right?? :-) Of course!

24 Weeks
It has been a good week. No complaints here. This week our Little Mr. has been moving off and on depending on the day. Usually around lunch time and then sometimes at night. I wish he would be moving more, but I'm sure in time he will be. Right now He should be weighing in at about 1.3 lbs and measuring in at 11.8 inches. He should be growing rapidly at this point, and I swear I am too.
Cravings: Just more food! haha
Best moment this week: It's funny to see/hear the comments people say now. It's like they can finally tell I'm pregnant and aren't afraid to ask. Twice this week I've been told that I "walk like I'm pregnant". I'm not so sure that's a good thing at this point, but eh o well.
What I miss: Some of my old clothes and feeling good about my body. Weekly Wisdom: I'm low on that again this week, sorry!
Favorite Moments: Starting to buy stuff for the nursery. We're going to finish our registry this weekend and I cannot wait!
How far along? 24 weeks
Total weight gain: A whopping 10 lbs!! Yikes!
Maternity clothes?: Pretty much for everything
Sleep: Sleeping is going better, ever since I've added all of the pillows.
Cravings: Just more food! haha
Movement: Well, it's on and off... Hoping it'll be more often sooner or late.
Gender: Blue!!!!
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Still in, but getting very flat.

Bits and Pieces
-Can you believe that I've never had coffee? I usually start my days off with honey nut cheerios and some milk and then just drink water throughout the rest of the day.
-I'm almost 1/4 done with my internship!! Yeah! Thank the Lord!
-I'm in my 6th month, holy crap! When did that happen? I just realized that the other day when someone asked me how many months along I was and I had to quick figure it out.
-I'm starting to pick up things here and there for our Little Mr. I'm trying not to buy too many clothes, because I know we'll probably get some for shower gifts (even though I secretly hope we get most the stuff off our registry instead!)
-I'm loving the beautiful weather we're having here in Iowa. Breezy & high 70's. Just wonderful!
-To those who were disappointed because I forgot the picture in the week 23 post, I'll make sure to post one for week 24!
-I have an unhealthy secret addiction to One Life to Live. Seriously, I DVR it and watch it after work even though I know how horrible and stupid it is.
-I CAN NOT WAIT for the fall shows and football to start up.
-That's all for now, have a wonderful Wednesday night!!

Nursery
We've decided on a theme for the baby's room. Since his dad is such a nerdy smart guy and is into space type things, we're going with a space theme. Here is a bit of what we've found so far.
This will be baby boy's bedding. I actually love it!
Now that we've decided on a theme, I we can start to buy everything add things to our registry.
Since we'll be moving in about 6 months, we're not doing a lot with the walls in the nursery, except hanging a few things on them. We're going to wait until we get to our new house before we put effort into painting anything on the wall for our little guy.
I'll still post before and after pics of the nursery, but right now, it's the "catch all" room and is hideous. I'm hoping we get moving on it in September/October. We shall see!

Deliciousness
This might be the death of me....
I love Nutella sandwiches. It doesn't get any better than that! Have you ever had it? You must try some! Hubby loves it with chunky peanut butter on wheat toast, I just enjoy it plain on wheat toast. Apparently there are tons of recipes you can make with Nutella..... Um, Nutella Cookies??? Don't mind if I do! :-)

23 weeks!
Seriously, I feel like I just posted about 22 weeks. (O wait, I did... it was several days late) This last week has just flown by. I'm assuming the weeks will continue to fly by, we shall see.
Baby Boy has been very active some days and not so much other days. I'm sure hoping that's normal. They say he should be about 1 lb and about 11 inches long. The size of a small doll or papaya. It seems so crazy to think that before Christmas, we will be parents! Soooo exciting!
Sorry, once again this is a little late. We had a busy weekend and I forgot to post it before we left.
Sorry, once again this is a little late. We had a busy weekend and I forgot to post it before we left.
How far along? 23 weeks. (8/19/10)
Total weight gain: I haven't weighed myself since last week, but I'm assuming 8-9 lbs.
Maternity clothes?: Yes sir! And loving it!
Sleep: Sleeping ok, but I feel like I'm taking over the bed with my 10 pillows I need to try and get a good nights sleep! I seriously think I'm sleeping with at least 3. One for my head, one between my knees and one to sort of lean on so I can kind of sleep on my stomach. It's crazy.
Cravings: Not much this week, but I've noticed that my appetite is much larger than usual... It's hard to keep it in check!
Movement: I had a lot of movement a couple days ago and not a ton today, so it depends on the day. Usually he's kicking at night, which is a nice way to sleep easy.
Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!!
Labor Signs: Nada
Belly Button in or out? still in, but definitely looking different.

What I miss: I went out to Carlos with some friends tonight for 1/2 price margs.. Only, I had to drink lemonade! They don't have virgin ones! I was so disappointed. So, I'd say having margaritas. But that's ok, it's allllllll worth it!
Favorite Moments: Feeling him kick more and more is enough of a favorite moment for me. I love it!

Dog Sitting
This weekend we watched our friend James' dog, Emma. She is a cockapoo and is adorable! Bear had a blast with her, but she definitely has a lot more energy than him. He's going on 8 and she's about 1 or so. He could keep up for awhile, but he would just crash afterwards. I got some good pictures of them playing in the backyard.
Josie on the other hand, hated Emma. She actually was able to put Emma in her place. Josie looked like a Halloween cat whenever Emma came around. She growled and hissed at Emma and Emma was actually quite afraid of her. It was kind of funny to watch.
If we weren't having a baby in December, I would be all for getting a dog like Emma, but having a "puppy" and a new baby just would not be doable at this point.

Running around like crazy
Emma was a bit faster than Bear, but I think if they were closer to the same age, he would have had a better shot at catching her.
They were so funny to watch
Josie loves to look out the screen door when we're out there.
She even cries because she wants out so bad!
My handsome hubby... Giving me the "eye"... haha He loves having his picture taken
Bear and Hubby. The two men in my life right now, but there will soon be three!!
More on the rest of our weekend to come later. Hope you have a great start to your week! :-)

22 Weeks
How far along? 22 weeks (On 8/12/10)... Sorry it's a few days late!
Total weight gain: 8 lb, um... I'm pretty sure I've started to gain a lb a week... I sure hope not.
Maternity clothes?: Yes! Hubby and I actually took a road trip and did some shopping this past Saturday at Motherhood Maternity. I got a few more work clothes and a dress for a wedding in Sept & Oct.
Sleep: So so.. Some days really well, others not so much. My back keeps giving me trouble.
Cravings: Hmm... I think this week it was Kit-Kats :-)
Movement: More and more everyday.
Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!!
Labor Signs: Nada
Belly Button in or out?In, but we'll see in the coming weeks.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach
Weekly Wisdom: Cherish every moment, and really, eat some of those cravings because otherwise you'll go crazy!
Milestones: None this week.
Favorite Moments: Hubby and I bought the jogger system w/car seat that I've been eying. We drove about 2 hours to the nearest Babies R Us and as we were walking around the store, some lady stopped us and asked if we wanted some coupons. I figured sure! Why not. I didn't think the 20% off one would work on our jogger system, but it did!! She saved us $45!
Actually got Hubby to take some pictures this week! Josie snuck into one of them. The belly is starting to grow! :-)

The one with the sweet comment
Hubby and I are laying in bed and he actually felt the little man kick for the first time!
Me: Isn't that cool?
Hubby: Well I can't tell if you're moving or if it's the baby.
Me: Honey, I'm not moving, I'm laying right here. Those little "hiccups" you feel are the baby kicking.
Hubby: I think I felt it. I didn't know thats what it was.
The conversation went on for a little while, and then this wonderful sweet comment came from my adoring, loving husband...
Hubby: Wow, you're belly got big overnight. If it keeps growing like it has in the last day or so, you're going to be enormous.
Me: Wow, thanks, You're too sweet.

Sorry for the lack of title. I really couldn't come up with anything at all today. I'm just exhausted!
Anyway, the internship, o... It's going alright. I didn't have to do one in undergrad and THANK THE LORD! It's just ridiculous working and not getting paid, but at the same time it is a great chance to gain valuable experience. I'm a few days in and I'm exhausted. Students started yesterday (yes, very early) and I'm at a very at-risk middle school. I look like one of the students, with the exception of the dress code and that makes it hard to get respect.
I'm slowly learning and getting through, but it's making me tired and unproductive at home. I haven't been sleeping well at night, not sure what the deal is. I even tried a pillow between my knees, but alas no relief yet. My back's also been bothering me, but I'm sure it will only get worse and just comes with the territory!
Sorry for my nothing but negative Nancy post. I'm sure it will get better and I will try to have a more positive post tomorrow or Thursday!
Have a great Tuesday night :-)

Letter to Baby- 6-7weeks
I loved the idea of writing the baby a letter when we first found out we were pregnant.
Dear Baby,
4/27/09 6w 6d
I know you’re in there, but I can’t feel you. I know you’re growing, every week, but it drives me batty when I can’t see it. You see, your mommy’s a planner. She likes things done on her own time, in her own way and well… This isn’t something I can control. I cannot snap my fingers and make us 4 months along, past the safety barrier of that 1st trimester where we’ll finally be able to hear your heartbeat and have your first photographs taken. I can’t wait to get to know you from the inside out. We’re so excited to meet you, but we’ll have to wait another 8.5 months, which is fine, because we need you to plump up and be big and healthy. I thank God for you every night and I pray that he’ll take care of you these next 8.5 months. I’ll do my best, but there’s only so much I can do to insure your safety. Before you were conceived, we loved the thought of you and now we love the dream that is coming true. So please, get comfortable and enjoy the next eight plus months because when you’re ready to come into this world, we’ll be o so ready to love you even more.
With Love,
Mama

21 Weeks
How far along? Holy cow, we're at 21 weeks
Total weight gain: 7 lbs
Maternity clothes?: I finally stocked up on some maternity clothes, and they are so much more comfortable than regular clothes! I can't believe I was missing out on these! haha
Sleep: Pretty good, but lately I've been having terrible backaches everytime I wake up, so that means I've been waking up about 15 times a night.
Cravings: BLT's!
Movement: A little here and there, but not everyday yet.
Gender: IT'S A BOY!!!!
Labor Signs: Thank goodness no!
Belly Button in or out? In, but I can tell it's not as far in as it use to be.

What I miss: Margarita's :-)
Weekly Wisdom: I've said it once and I'll say it again, take way too many pictures. It's so fun to look back and see how your belly has grown!
Milestones: I cannot believe we've been through 21 weeks and only have 19 left!
Favorite Moments: I started my registry, but it's very overwhelming and there is so much to having a baby! Obviously I knew a baby was a big deal, but I have no idea what he actually needs!
Registering
I've started trying to register for baby things. Holy crap it's overwhelming! I have no idea what to put on there, how many, what kind etc...
Tons of you answered my post for Help! and I thank you for that, but there is so much more out there.
Any suggestions on things you/baby just cannot live without? Anything you put on your registry that you use all the time or something you wish you would have put on the registry?
I've gotten some help from others with registry items, but anything will help. I guess I hadn't realized there was so much to registering! WOW!

Back to the real world
I cannot believe I start the beginning of my 400 hour internship tomorrow! I'm freaking out, just a little. I would like to get all 400 hours completed before December when our baby boy arrives. It's going to be a bit difficult given the circumstances. I'm only going in M-W, possibly a Thurs or Fri here or there depending on what's going on. Not all of the hours in the day count, unless they fit into one of our counseling domains. So, I'm hoping to try and make all 8 hours each day count, but that doesn't mean it will.
Ahh, wish me luck! I'm sure my days will go a lot faster and I'll learn a great deal of useful information, so that's a plus.
I have to do three video tapes of myself counseling and I'm not looking forward to doing that. However; I am in one of the most at-risk middle schools in our city (and it's very at-risk), so I think that'll look good on my resume! :-)
Wish me luck in hopes that I don't get mistaken for a student on a daily basis! We'll see!

Week 20- Appt Stats
Before forgetting, I wanted to document things that happened on our week 20 appointment. Just as a way to remember things!
Baby Boy's heartbeat was strong at 154, whoever said that the heartbeat could be a predictor of gender was wrong in our case. They said under 140 is a boy and over is a girl. Well, we've got a boy here folks.
Everything went great, we saw all 4 chambers of the heart, saw the brain, spine, two legs, feet, arms and hands! Saw his cute little face and everything. He was weighing in at 10oz.
He kept pulling his hands to his mouth like he was eating or sucking on them. He also had his legs crossed at the feet, it was so cute.
Doctor said that everything looked great and we were progressing on track.
However! The ultrasound tech did say that her predicted due date, based off of his measurements was 12/23/10. I was spot on when I calculated my due date, however; they said because it is within two weeks of their predicted due date, they will not change it. Which is ok fine by me, because that means that I will have this baby on or before December 23, 2010! No 2011 baby for us! I was hoping to have him before the new year and she confirmed that they would not allow us to go over a week overdue. We were very pleased by this, because that means he will be here before Christmas and he will be the best Christmas present!

Blogging
I started blogging a little over a year and a half ago. It was mostly just to share lives happenings, favorite things, about Hubby and our fur babies.
Back in April, our lives changed, drastically.
And we are o so thankful for that.
Though, in the process of writing about the pregnancy and all things babies, I've lost a few followers.
That's ok, I wouldn't want to force anyone to read anything they don't want to.
I just want to say that this is my blog and I'll write what I want to. (Kinda like it's my party and I'll cry if I want to)
Anyway, I think we each blog because we want to share our lives and we want to remember every little detail of our lives through this blog. The one's we want to remember anyway. So, I will continue to blog about anything that comes to mind, and right now in our lives, it's the little monkey growing inside of me. We are head over heals for this little one already and for me to act any differently would be a lie to all of you and most of all a lie to myself.
I am sorry for those of you having trouble in the department of pregnancy. I cannot imagine how you must feel and I'm sure reading peoples blogs about pregnancy can be very hard. So, I can see how reading someones blog, purely about pregnancy can not be easy, but remember, we are each fighting our own battle. So with that said, please please please do not read my blog if it's going to hurt your feelings, I'd rather you take a break and come back later if it can save you some grief because I cannot promise the rest of my posts for the next 5 months won't be about pregnancy. Most of them will.
So I apologize if my postings haven't been very in depth in terms of content, but right now, we're eating, sleeping and breathing baby.
And that's ok with us.
I hope you continue to read along and comment because I LOVE your comments. They have been so helpful because as you all know, we're new at this.
While you're at it, all of you lurkers out there who have never commented, come out of the shadows and show me who you are! I'd love to get to know you and I'd love to check out your blogs if I'm not already a follower.
Thanks to all of you followers out there, you're all amazing, even if you are hiding in the shadow's.

It's A.................
BOY!!!!!
Introducing: Baby Boy Crane!
I think we'll have a little thumb sucker on our hands! He wouldn't stop putting his hands in his mouth when we were watching him.
We are thrilled to be welcoming a little boy into the family in December! We couldn't be happier and it looks as though the wives tale tests may have been accurate (but I wouldn't put much weight in them working everytime!) We have a few names picked out, but I don't know if we'll decide for certain before baby Boy is born. I'm so glad to finally be able to say he!
We had the ultrasound technician wrote it down on a piece of paper for us and didn't tell us on the spot. Hubby thought he saw something and I said well I guess you think it's a boy then, and he said how do you know that? I said well if you "saw something" then obviously it's not a girl!
Anyway, we got out to the parking lot, got in the car and then opened it so we could celebrate just the two of us. It was neat.
We are definitely on cloud 9 and couldn't be more excited!
Boy or Girl??
Ha, sorry. That was a tease, we don't actually know yet and won't find out until 10:00 today.
I stole this from Lucy, because we find out later today and I want to see just how accurate these old Wives tales are!!
Hubby and I are guessing both:
Boy
If the heart rate is under 140 you'll have a boy.
This gives us a girl. The heart rate has 178 and 158.
If you are carrying all your weight out front its a girl, if your weight is around your hips and bottom it's a boy.
Girl, as far as I can tell. What do you think?
If your bump is low it's a boy if your bump is up higher it's a girl.
I think I’m carrying low, but I don’t have much of a bump yet, so we’ll still go with boy
If the baby is very active it's a boy.
Hmm I’m still not sure everytime I feel movement in there, so baby isn’t extremely active. Not very active = Girl
If you're craving sweets it's a girl, if you're craving salt you're having a boy.
Nothing major in the way of cravings, but I can definitely say that I crave way more salty things than sweet things. I use to love cookies, cakes, brownies, etc… Now it’s beef jerky, chips, salt with my tomatoes, etc.. Salty = Boy
If daddy is gaining weight along with mommy it's a girl.
Daddy hasn't put on any pounds so far. Boy.
When picking up a single key, if she picks it up from the thin end, it's a girl. If she picks up the key from the base it's a boy.
Just because I know me, I’d have to say that I would pick it up with the base end because it’s the bigger end. So we’ll go with Boy
If your face is colored in acne you're having a girl. If you have clear beautiful skin you'll have a boy.
Ha so far looks like I’m having a girl, talk about yuck! I feel like I’m in 7th grade again, only it’s worse this time around! Acne = Girl
Do you sleep on your right or your left side? Right you're having a girl, left you're having a boy.
I go from left side, to back to right side. So because I start on my left side, we’ll go with Boy.
If you are puking all the time you'll have a girl.
Not much morning sickness with the exception of a couple weeks and not much puking. = Boy
If your hands are dry you'll have a boy, if they are soft you'll have a girl.
I don’t know… Soft? = Girl
If you're drinking lots of orange juice and other citrus you're having a girl.
I’m sticking mostly to water and milk. = Boy
If you feel graceful during pregnancy you're having a girl, but if you feel clumsy you'll be having a boy.
I use to be a lot more graceful than I am now. Clumsy= Boy
If you gain weight in your face you're having a girl.
I asked hubby if my face was getting chunky, he said “not yet. Thanks hubby. Not yet = Boy.
If you are especially moody you'll be having a girl.
This gives us a girl. The heart rate has 178 and 158.
If you are carrying all your weight out front its a girl, if your weight is around your hips and bottom it's a boy.
Girl, as far as I can tell. What do you think?
If your bump is low it's a boy if your bump is up higher it's a girl.

Hmm I’m still not sure everytime I feel movement in there, so baby isn’t extremely active. Not very active = Girl

Daddy hasn't put on any pounds so far. Boy.

You are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl “steals” the mother’s beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, you might just be having a little boy.
I have no clue, but some say that I look cute, so we’ll go with that, it makes me feel better. = Boy
If you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy. Dreams show the opposite of what you are having.
