Alright all of you Mama's or Mama's to be, maternity clothes.... what, when, from where?
I'm in that stage where my pants are getting a bit tight. I bought a bellaband (sp?), but have just been sticking to dresses and comfy clothes for now. I recently went on Gap.com and found about 5 maternity shirts that I ordered because they were all on sale.
Other than that, I am clueless. When did you start buying, what size, how did you know what you would need and where did you buy it from?
I don't want to spend a fortune, but I'm going to be doing an internship, so I'll need nice clothes. Any help you can give would be great!

Product Review
Thanks to the wonderful people at CSN, I was able to do a product review for you guys! They contacted me back in May and it has taken me this long to get organized to post about it. Let me tell you, it's been one heck of a summer, already!
Anyway, onto the product review.... In choosing a product, I wanted something that was useful and something I would enjoy. I decided on the Cuisinart Round Classic Waffle Maker in Brushed Stainless

Let me tell you, these waffle's were delicious!!!
All in all, I was very impressed with the taste. I'm not huge on presentation, so even though this doesn't look perfect, it tasted perfect!
Thanks CSN!

New Deck
If I haven't mentioned it yet (and you know I have) we've been VERY busy this summer! To kick summer off, we decided a new deck was needed. Hubby and a friend tore down the old gross rotting accident waiting to happen of a deck. I think they did an excellent job. My husband had 2 friends help and his father come for a weekend to finish it off. Thanks to all who chipped in!!
This is the deck when we first moved in. It has gotten pretty crap over the 3 years we've been here, as they did not treat it correctly.
Everything's ready... O and they killed all 5 of my bushes in the process of building this deck!
It's a start!
We're getting there!
Hard at work. This is my FIL and our friend Kaleb
Just standing around I guess.... haha just kidding!
The railing is going up!
Almost finished!
Finished product! Isn't it beautiful?!?! I just love it!
Thanks for everyone's hard work that helped us out!
18 Weeks- tomorrow
Holy cow, hard to believe we're at 18 weeks!
Best moment this week: Feeling some movements that could be baby kicks... not quite sure! :-)
Weekly Wisdom: Enjoy the little things!
Milestones: Well into the 2nd trimester and hear the baby's heartbeat again at our 16 week appointment!
Favorite Moments: Feeling baby kicks (maybe) and my belly getting a bit bigger. still feeling just chubby, but it's starting to resemble a belly!
In just a little over 2 weeks we'll be able to find out the sex of the baby!!! We cannot wait! August 2nd, hurry on up! I think this is the first time EVER that I have wanted summer to fly by! :-) Have a great rest of the week!
How far along? 18 weeks (tomorrow anyway)
Total weight gain: 4.5 lbs so far.... Is that a lot? It feels like a lot!
Maternity clothes?: Regular clothes are starting to get snug and I've just been wearing skirts and dresses, so those are pretty comfortable.
Sleep: I'm sleeping great at night, just waking up a few times to pee. Other than that, it's going great.
Cravings: Salty foods
Cravings: Salty foods
Movement: Maybe a little, it's hard to tell.
Gender: You're guess is as good as ours!
Labor Signs: No and stay away until December!
Belly Button in or out? In and I hope it stays in

Rain Rain go away!
It was my complete intent on writing a post this morning catching you all up on pregnancy related news, but alas something else came up. I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow, I can hardly believe it! We had an appointment last week and all went well. We're scheduled to find out if it's a boy or girl on August 2nd! CAN.NOT.WAIT! We are super excited and these three weeks cannot go by soon enough!
Anyway, this morning, I woke up to head to a dentist appointment and looked out the back door as I was letting Bear out. Turns out, we had a creak running through the backyard. We've had so much rain in the past couple days, it isn't even funny. We've had about 7 inches of rain int he past two days and are suppose to get another 1-3 this evening Talk about not fun. Anyway, we have one corner in our basement that gets a little bit of water in it when it rains very hard. Well, because of the amount of rain and the quickness in which it came, we got a LOT of water in our basement. I mean, we probably had an inch in the "unfinished"* portion of our basement but it went further and was much more than we have ever had before. The drain in our basement wasn't draining because the water table was full and that is also why our backyard had such a large amount standing water in it. I had to leave to go to my dentist appointment, so I did what I could and hubby had to come home from work for a few hours to clean most of it up (bless his heart!). I got back home after my appointment and helped clean up, then we cleaned the gutters (yes, in the rain) and finished cleaning the basement as best we could. What a pain I tell ya!
So, the basement is drying up, slowly but shirley, however; we are still suppose to get more rain tonight, so I have a feeling we'll be doing some clean up again tomorrow. :-(
*I say "unfinished"* because it has those sticky tiles in it and now because of the water, they are all coming up and it doesn't really look very good.
It's been yet another week, so I'm going to have to postpone the belly updates until week 18! so sorry! Hope you all have a great rest of the week!
