Welcome to The Momma Tribe!

I cannot believe I am halfway through this crazy journey already! I've heard everyone say that your first pregnancy is the best and I would have to agree with that! How far along? 20 weeks 3 days Baby is the size: (Length) Banana Maternity clothes? Yup. I've had to buy a couple more tops too. I need to be shopping at Target and not Motherhood for clothes! Too expensive! Sleep: I have slept very well since being home from Tonga! Best moment this week: BABY REGISTRY! We  celebrated  our halfway mark by starting out our registry at Babies R Us! There's still some more to register for and to change on there but we got a really good chunk of it done! I was very excited about it! Missing Anything? Yes. My good digestion! I am SO gassy! Movement? A little more often but still no consistency! Food Cravings? PICKLES. Feeling Sick? Yes. I spent Friday in the hospital. Gender: Still a BOY! Labor Signs: Nope. Belly Button? In Wedding Rings on or off? On Hap...

I'm SO late I'm sorry.  I knew I wanted to do something fun for our gender reveal I just didn't know what. So the first place I looked (of course) was Pinterest!

So when I saw things like filled cupcakes or cakes, opening a box filled with balloons, blowing up balloons or confetti, I was not interested. An idea I only saw one at the time and even when I looked only saw a couple and absolutely LOVED was a paint fight! White bottles, not seeing the color until it came out! My mind of course starting racing and I was SO excited. I was hooked on the idea and I was gonna make it work!  My plan: Get the ultrasound and have the technician seal the gender in an envelope, go to Michaels and pick 2 shades of Pink paint and 2 shades of Blue and have a customer service person check me out for 2 and put...

How far along? 18 weeks and 5 days Baby is the size: Bell Pepper! Maternity clothes? All day every day! Sleep: Since we are in tonga this week and a little of next sleep has actually been really well. As long as I sleep on my side with something soft, a blanket or pillow between my legs I am good! Best moment this week:  WE FELT BABY KICK! Oh my PRICELESS! So we had just got on our flight to New Zealand, yes I'm talking about the 13 hour flight. Obviously not excited about this event and not sure how comfortable I can possibly get considering I have to get up every 2-3 hours to avoid getting blood clots in my legs. We have found our sets and started to get comfortable, waiting for the rest of the plane to board, when I go to put my seat belt I feel the strongest "flutter" I have felt so far in this pregnancy. I have been feeling flutters for a couple weeks now but nothing I or anyone else can feel from the outside. This one was different. I put my hand down right ...
