It is fun to celebrate Christmas this year and think about having a little baby crawling around next Christmas! We got some fun baby-related things this year. We got some booties with rattles, pacifiers, a cute plastic bowl that looks like Babo, a children's Christmas book, and some fun maternity clothes. We also got a great book from Rebecca that is an owners manual for a baby that gives us all sorts of directions about how to prepare for and take care of a baby. We love it! Lots of fun pictures and instructions! I got this really cool Haitian carved figurine from Amanda of a pregnant lady. It is really unique and pretty. What a fun time in our lives! We are getting excited to find out the sex and share the name of our baby with our family! I want to start setting up my polka-dot nursery!
Thanks to everyone for all of their enthusiasm. I am now at 18 weeks. The baby is the size of a bell pepper and almost 6 inches from head to bum. I have gained about 5 pounds and don't have much to wear. I sometimes get frustrated because my tummy is too big for my normal pants but maternity pants still fall off of me. What an awkward stage. But, it is totally worth it all. We are excited to be parents.

i'm still at that stage too. have you heard of the bella band? its an elastic sort of thing you wear around your waist and it either keeps your maternity pants from falling down, or hides the fact that your regular jeans are unzipped and unbuttoned. i can't live without mine right now! merry christmas, you look so cute :)
