14 weeks

First bump pictures!!! I am 14 weeks now and thought it was time to document the "bump"!  Here you go!!!

Babybedding.com

Can i just take a moment and say .... www.babybedding.com ROCKS!  You can design your own bedding from all sorts of awesome fabric!  A friend told me about the site and even though we don't know what our bundle of joy will be yet.... it's designed! We are sticking to gender neutral "baby equipment"  so down the road if we decide to have another baby we wont have to re purchase everything. Here is baby Clethers crib set!

drum roll please........

Until next post friends.....

Thumb Sucker!

Thats right we have a thumb sucker on our hands!  I had my 13 week Dr. Appointment yesterday and the Doctor asked me if i wanted to take a look at the baby!  I of course got very excited and said lets do it!  An ultrasound was not in the plan for yesterday but i got the ultrasound room!  The only downer was Clay was not able to be there and the machine was ancient so no pictures!  It was the most amazing thing i had ever seen.  Baby Clether was sooooo active!  Baby was sucking its THUMB!  It was also waving saying "hi mommy!" along with some somersaults tossed in the mix.  Its amazing how the baby is moving so much and i cant feel it!  Dr. said I should start feeling baby in about 5 more weeks, *sigh* i cant wait!  Speaking of Doctor... i LOVE mine!  She is absolutely wonderful!  

Baby Clethers heart beat was 154 yesterday, i of course was reading up on all the hype about the correlation with heartbeat and gender... not sure if i believe it however... i came across this one website that says "its a girl if" and well I have thought that baby Clether is a girl since the beginning... Clay still thinks its a boy... maybe this will change his mind....

It's a girl if:

• You had morning sickness early in pregnancy YES
• Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute YES
• You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear Too soon to tell!
• Your left breast is larger than your right breast YES haha 
• Your hair develops red highlights YES however i have always had red in my hair!
• You are carrying high Too soon to tell!
• Your belly looks like a watermelon Too soon to tell!
• You are craving sweets  YES just ask my coworkers!
• You are craving fruit  YES cant get enough Watermellon and Strawberries!
• You crave orange juice Umm not so much right now but i did have a lot of frozen OJ the first few weeks
• You are moodier than usual during pregnancy  Haha that would be a question for the husband!
• Your face breaks out more than usual  YES just bought some facewash last night!
• You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread YES  i never ever like the heels!
• 
  
• Of course i also went and looked at the Chinese calendar and it is telling me its a girl!  So i am sticking to thinking its a girl!  We could care less either way as long as its a happy healthy baby! 
  
  
  
  

Baby Clether!

We are excited to announce that baby "Clether" will be here February 23rd, 2011.  I will be 13 weeks this week and I am showing already! I will be posting "bump" pictures as I progress throughout the pregnancy!  Hopefully this will be a great way to keep my family and friends that are out of town up to date with all things baby!    For those of you who havnt figured it out yet, "Clether" is the combination of Clay and Heather!  A special thanks to John Plowden who came up with that for us when we first started dating, so we thought it was perfect for the baby until we find out if we are having a girl or a boy!  I think it is a girl and Clay thinks its a boy.... What do you think????  Here are our first pictures of our precious "Clether"
