17 Weeks!
One more week and we go back to the OB for another check up! The next appt will be with one of the doctors in the practice. So far I've only seen one of the midwives. I'm sure it will be another fairly uneventful appt. Most of them in the middle seem to be that way. On a very happy note though, we have a month left until the big anatomy scan where we will (hopefully) find out the baby's gender!

Belly Progression
So just for fun, I decided to cut and paste together a few of my belly pics to see if I could see a difference. I can definitely FEEL a difference in my belly size, so I hoped I could see a difference. The three pictures are from 7 weeks, 11 weeks, and 16 weeks. I feel like I actually look bigger at 7 weeks than I did at 11, but in the 16 week pic it's getting move obvious that my uterus is getting bigger and moving upwards :o)
16 Weeks - Slacking again...
Well like the last two weeks I'm a few days behind in posting my weekly belly shot. The good news is though, that the pic was taken on the right day this time! On the baby front nothing much has changed. I go back to the OB in a week and a half when I'm 18 weeks. This time we see one of the doctors in the practice. I doubt there's much that happens this time again. The exciting visits won't happen for a while. I think I am feeling the baby move at times. It's very subtle, but hopefully that's what I think it is! I defintely can't wait until it's obviously the baby though!
This weekend we went to visit my mom. Matthew ran in the 5K that her office put on. I came to the conclusion that next year I'd better get my butt in gear and run it as well. It would be a good way to work off the baby poundage! Hopefully I make it happen. ha! We also went to see the last Harry Potter with Mom and Cindy. What an amazing movie! I've liked them all, but this one really blew me away. It was great!
Well, without further ado here is the 16 week pic! Enjoy!

15 Weeks and Rolling Right Along!
Well I'm a day late in posting but at least that's better than last week's belly shot!
There hasn't been too much going on this week. I have pretty much finished moving and clearing out my old classroom, so I've decided to give myself a break. I'm tired of spending my whole summer break at school! The big excitement for the week is about childcare for Koothrappali(hehe still makes me laugh to say that) when I go back to work in March. Last night we worked out babysitting arrangements with our neighbors. They are having a baby in August and she is going to watch Koothrappali for us! I am so excited and relieved to have this MAJOR detail worked out! The two things that I was afraid of causing me the most stress have now been taken care of. My maternity sub is lined up, and my time off has been worked out with HR, and we have babysitting! I am so relieved. Now I can focus on all other things baby :o)
Well that's really all the news I have for this week. Three more until our next appt. and about 6-7 until we hopefully find out the baby's gender! Until next week, here is my 15 week belly shot :o)

14 Weeks!
Ok, so I'm a little behind in this week's post. Not only is the post late but the picture is also a few days late as well. It was actually taken at 14 weeks 3 days, but who's counting right?! ;o)
Well this week's news, besides the picture...I had my next OB appt on Thursday. I was exactly 14 weeks that day. The midwife used the doppler so we got to hear the baby's heartbeat loud and clear. My sister came along to chit chat with the midwife a bit since she just got accepted into nursing/midwifery school in Chicago. It was a pretty quick appointment, as most of them will be, hopefully! The baby's heartbeat was 150bpm and sounded perfect!
We have also received our first few baby items! It's been so fun! We have our very first outfit and bib! Now we just need the baby to get here so that he/she can wear it all!
The last bit of this post is kind of funny. We went to visit my family over the holiday weekend. My sister was with us for the 6 hr car ride, and after a while, it's pretty easy to get a little slap happy when cooped up that long. We started discussing names for the baby, and of course all names suggested were completely outrageous and not a bit serious, but we did manage to come up with quite the name for our little bambino while still in-utero. All three of us are BIG fans of The Big Bang Theory on CBS. As we ran the gammot of names from the show it was officially decided that the baby is to now be refered to as "Koothrappali Kuntz" until born. Raj Koothrappali is one of the characters on the show, and we thought it had a nice flow with our last name :o) It's been quite commical to refer to the baby as Koothrappali all weekend, and others who watch the show have gotten a big kick out of it as well. Ha!
Well now that I've written a book,I guess that's bound to happen when I don't update in over a week...here comes this week's belly shot :o)
