I know I am behind on my belly shots....I had intentions of taking pics of weeks 19 and 20 during our trip to OH, but unfortunately that didn't happen. So now I am past the half-way mark - WAHOO! - and on the downhill slide towards meeting our little girl!! At this point, I am consistently showing and I think it is time to buy some maternity pants for work (was trying to prolong that as long as possible). Luckily I have some great friends who have either given me or lent me some clothes until I make it to the mall myself. I am still feeling great and and this little girl is definitely making herself known in my belly! She is definitely a kicker and might be a future soccer star at this rate. At first I didn't realize it was the baby moving (about 1 1/2 weeks ago it felt more like muscle twitches), but now they are a lot stronger and more frequent throughout the day....it is so amazing to me!
Our Halloween weekend was spent baby furniture shopping down in Ft Lauderdale....and then West Palm Beach....before heading back to Ft Lauderdale the next day to purchase one of the very first bedroom sets we laid eyes on and fell in love with! Let's just say that I like the furniture our little girl will be growing up with better than our bedroom furniture! We went with an antique white / distressed look that is perfect for a little girl....and in case all future children are boys, this is my only chance to buy this furniture! In addition, we looked at some gliders and bedding, but I think the furniture was enough for one weekend considering my head was spinning with manufacturers, safety ratings, types of wood, conversion kits, etc. I am just happy to have the major purchase of furniture checked off the "to-do" list for baby!
Here I am at 21 weeks....definitely with "bump!" She is the size of a banana this week (too bad hubby ate them all!)
Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Halloween - the beginning of all the fall/winter holidays, my favorite time of year! Next year we'll have a little pumpkin to take trick-or-treating!

You look great, Steph! I wish I could see that baby bump in person. We need to catch up over the phone - moving has taken up ALL of our time. It's a lot harder with a child! :) Glad you're feeling well and how exciting that you purchased the baby furniture - shopping for a girl is SO dangerous, isn't it?! Love & miss you!
Yep! There is definitely a bump :) And a very cute one ;)
Give her a little rub for me! It's so much fun watching her (and you!) grow :)
you do have a bump...yeah :-)
