Baby is MOVING!

The baby is MOVING, as of the 22nd I realized those movements down there are actually the baby moving around. I think actually feeling the baby move makes it real to me. Feels like little bubbles popping in my stomach, or gentle tapping. So weird and so very cool. I just thought I would share, I am 18 weeks so far and we will be able to find out the sex of the baby on our next doctor visit in less than a week. So super excited, I need to go shopping and it is hard to shop when you don't know the gender, although that doesn't stop me from buying cute stuff anyways. Yeah!
I have still been feeling really good and love being pregnant. Although I HATE shopping for pregnant clothes. Especially pants, I have a hard enough time when I am not pregnant, so I have just been wearing my normal ones with an elastic through the button and that might just have to do for awhile. Oh well! Here is an update on my belly, doesn't look that much bigger.

Has anyone else seen spiders in their houses lately (BIG ones), we found one the other day on the wall as you go downstairs and then another one the next morning just before I got in the shower upstairs. Ugh!!! Every 6 months we clean really well and move everything away from the walls and spray for spider and bugs. I guess we need to do another treatment, cause those little buggers are back and so disgusting. They just give me the shivers, and I especially hate finding them myself in the morning before my Robert is awake, so I just smoosh them with the fly swatter and he cleans it up when he wakes up. It must have been because the weather was cold and they decided to come inside. I have not seen any for a few days now, ewwww, they are so gross!!

Popped Out!

When I hit my 15 week mark last Wednesday, I swear my belly all of a sudden decided to pop. (I am 16 weeks now, but have not taken a picture yet.) I put on one of my shirts, and there it was. It was the strangest thing. It is a little strange having your belly stick out like that and you can't do anything about it.
Rob still thinks it is the funniest thing in the world to watch my belly get bigger. He just points and laughs, it doesn't bother me though. He is so cute about it, it makes me laugh as well.
Here is an updated picture:

We find out the sex of the baby on September 2, and I am so excited. I asked Rob what he THINKS it will be and not what he wants it to be. He thinks it will be a girl, and for me, I think it will be a boy. Although, I want a girl and he wants to have a boy. So, we will see.
I went maternity shopping with my sister Kerri the other day, I can't shop for maternity clothes by myself so I took her with me. I tried about the whole store on, it seemed like. I got three shirts and a cute skirt. Kerri also thinks I am having a boy, because she says it looks like I am carrying low. Who knows?
While we were in Motherhood Maternity, there was a woman trying on some things, her husband didn't want to stand around in the maternity store so he went wandering the mall. The lady peeks out of the dressing room and asks if we can go look for her husband, because her water just broke. She was very calm, she put her shirt she wanted to buy on the counter and just said this is the same thing that happened with their first child, so she wasn't worried. She had no contractions or anything, so she went to the bathroom. The lady of the store called security, and Kerri went off to look for her husband. Security came, but she didn't proceed to do anything. Kerri came back with husband in tow, and he was also just calm, he paid for her shirt and when she came out of the bathroom, she thanked Kerri for finding her husband and they left. Something that doesn't happen every day.
Thanks to everyone for all the advice on where to buy maternity clothes! I also found a website from Giveaway today, that I purchased a bunch of cute stuff from. I have not received them yet, but I emailed the owner back and forth and feel like they will fit well. Hopefully!
It is just an online store called Milan Maternity, she is located in Rigby, Idaho. Check her stuff out, so cute. That is, if you are pregnant!

Does anyone want Zucchini?

I picked 3 more zucchini tonight, I am in serious need of people who want zucchini. I can't eat this many. I don't know why I planted so many, but I did and I don't want them to go to waste. If you or any one you know want any yellow zucchini, please let me know and I will gladly hand them over.

The Short and Long of it!

Back in January, I got my hair cut like I always do every month. Except it was just that little bit too short. So, I was annoyed and told Rob not to let me cut my hair again. Well, he held me to that and said I could not get it cut until we have kids. Well, I was not pregnant at the time and it has been really hard not to get it cut, but it kind of is a challenge for me now to wait to get it cut.
It has been seven months now since I have cut my hair and I have 6 more months to go, (a year with no haircuts) although after we have the baby I might just like my hair long and not want it cut, we shall see. I really do need a trim though, my ends are split and breaking off and I could also use a shape. I would not consider that getting my hair cut thought, since it is just to keep my hair healthy. So, this is a picture of when it was short:

And now, this is how long my hair is today.

My hair could grow quite a bit in the next 6 months. Now, I just need to find a cute hair cut so I can wear it down, I always wear it in a half ponytail because it is easy.
