Princess Portia's Crystal Ball -- Weeks 9 and 10

Sorry, I have been bad updating the blog lately. Last week Portia's crystal ball showed GIRL once again. This week, same thing! But...we asked her a 2nd time this week and she said BOY! Hmm! I wonder if her "phsyic" power thing is just a sham. :)

Staying Put

Most of you probably know that Aaron and I have been seriously considering building a new house on the north side of Spring Hill. We have decided to stay where we are for now! It was a tough decision, but the right one. We hope to start looking again in a year or maybe two.

Growing

For the first time today, I felt really uncomfortable. I normally wear jeans, which tend to sit lower on my belly, but today I had a meeting with some customers, so I dressed up a bit and wore slacks, which have a higher waist. I had bought them at Target (clearance of course!) a few months ago when we were trying to get pregnant and I got a size big in anticipation of these early days, but today as the day wore on, they just got more and more uncomfortable. I certainly don't look any different yet, but I guess something must be changing. I wish that I could just jump from this point to looking pregnant. I'm not looking forward to getting all of those "is she or isn't she" looks!

Princess Portia's Crystal Ball -- Week 8

This week Portia once again predicts GIRL! She's on a roll, I guess. Aaron told her that the piece of food in his left hand was for a girl and right hand for a boy, then he sat them down and she sniffed the boy one, then snarfed up the girl one. Just to make sure that the test was unbiased, he switched hands and did everything opposite and she still ate the "girl" piece first. I guess we know what she wants!

Maternity Clothes

Ok, so I've already broken down and bought some maternity clothes. No, I don't need them yet! Old Navy and Target both had some good clearance items, so I bought 3 pants and 2 dresses. I'm not a big dress type of girl, but I tried one on and it looked like it is going to be so cute that I had to get it!

Maybe I'll be regretting saying this in another 6 months, but holy cow that stuff is comfortable!!! I love the elastic waistbands. I want to start wearing them now! The pants I bought I actually think I could wear now because if the band is covered they look like normal pants. I tried on a pair of maternity jeans and they looked very weird...poofy is the word that comes to mind. I'm sure they look a lot better when there is a belly to pull them out, but I know I couldn't get away with wearing them right now.

Meet Baby Cain!

Today we had our first ultrasound to determine the due date. The OB clinic had pushed out our due date to November 27th (I originally thought November 20th), but when the ultrasound tech took a measurement she said she predicted November 20th, so I was right on!

Words are hard to explain the feelings we had when we first saw our baby. At first I couldn't tell what I was supposed to look at, but once she pointed it out we could see it, even the little heart beating. The heartrate was 153 bpm. It was such an amazing moment.

So without further ado, here is little Baby Cain!
