Uncle David and Aunt LisaAfter trying to button my pre-baby jeans one last time a couple of weeks ago, my mom and I finally decided to go to the Folsom Outlets (they have a Motherhood Maternity!) and get some pants! It was a lot of fun to take the day off from studying and hang out with my mom. Motherhood keeps fake baby "bumps" in the dressing rooms that you can strap on to your stomach to see how clothes will fit you later on in your pregnancy - we had too much fun with those!
The first look at me with a huge baby "bump"!
I absolutely loved this shirt and will probably wear it on Christmas. :-)Quick story about a really cool thing that happened last week:
My class usually does a potluck together about once a semester. So a couple of weeks ago, one of the girl's in my class decided it would be fun to do it one last time together! I thought it was a great idea and was looking forward to it. We planned on doing it last Friday, considering we weren't at the hospital, but on campus for a simulation lab. So we had lecture in the morning, and then were getting set up to start the potluck in our classroom. I was toward the back of the line, and when I finally got my food and was about to sit down and eat, Janette and Christine walked in the room looking very suspicious. Janette got everyone's attention and said they wanted to recognize three people in our class - me, Megan, and Andrey! Megan is currently about 5 weeks ahead of me, and Andrey's wife had their second baby last month. The whole class got together, collected donations and Janette, Christine, and Jillian put together three beautiful gift bags together for each of us! I was blown away!

Amazing gift for Baby B. from my nursing class - onesies, washcloths, binkies, diapers, wipes, pillow, bath supplies, toys, changing pad - amazing! Andy and I were completely overwhelmed!Here are some pics of a couple of other gifts we've received:
Baby B's first official gift - his/her first Bible from cousin Chris, Laura and Levi!
Two comfy gowns and booties from Aunt LisaSo now it's time to move on to some updates of our little bean! I am currently about 17.5 weeks, have just noticed my belly starting to "pop" a little, and not go completely flat when I lay down! I haven't for sure felt movements yet, but have noticed little "bubbles" off and on that is still too hard to tell for sure if it's really the baby or just me. I'm looking forward to that moment though!
We had our 4th appointment on Wednesday, and because Andy wasn't at the "extra" appointment that I scheduled a couple of weeks ago, he got to hear the heartbeat for the first time - it was awesome! The heartbeat was 159 again, and strong. It's funny that about half of the people that hear how fast it was say it's a girl because of that, and the other half (including my mom) say it's a boy. Everyone's already putting in their guesses!

This is what the baby looks like this week; he/she is about 5 ounces and 5 inches long, can move joints, developing sweat glands, and bone is ossifying and growing harder - pretty cool, huh? Here are some recent 17 weeek bump pictures:

17 weeks, Thanksgiving dayI think that's it for my many updates, hope everything's well with all of you and that you're enjoying this awesome holiday season!
HA! I looked at the big baby bump photo of you before I read that it was fake and practically flipped out. I was like, "I have seen Emily in FOREVER. And she's having a giant baby!"
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely holiday!
You have a bump! I love the "Motherhood Maternity" belly pictures - - freaked me out, too. I was like, "WHEN is this baby due?" Hope to see you soon, Baughman family!
ReplyDeleteThose fake bumps are so cool, aren't they? Well, I wanted to tell you about one of the coolest baby things I've seen so far. It's called the ultimate crib sheet. Apparently, in order to change the sheet on modern crib mattresses, you have to actually take the entire mattress out because it's so tight in the crib. This sheet snaps around the bars instead of going under the mattress like a fitted sheet so it's easier to change. My friend has one and I learned how valuable it is when I babysat and her son got a stomach bug. It was fun. It only took a minute to change and I never thought about how hard that would be until I had to do it myself. Though now that I told you, I may need to pick out a new gift :)
