Tomorrow afternoon is the big day! We will find out if this baby is a boy or girl. I can not wait! It is going to be the longest day at work ever!

Kicking Away!
Yesterday I started getting some bigger kicks from the baby, and last night Clint was able to feel it for the first time! It was a really neat experience.

Dresser / Changing Table
Here's the dresser I found for the baby room! I am in love with it! It will also double as a changing table. Still looking at crib and bedding. I think I'll wait until we find out if this baby is a boy or girl.
We will know boy/girl at our next appointment on Monday, August 29th. We can't wait!!! I am ready to start calling this baby by its name instead of "it."

100th Birthday Celebration
We celebrated Clint's 30th birthday and his dad's 70th birthday on August 6th! They share the same birthday, so together they are 100 years old! Pretty special!
We had a delicious dinner at Papa's Steakhouse.

Belly Pic - 18 weeks
I am starting to look like I have a baby growing in me! I feel that people can actually tell that I'm pregnant now.
I am feeling the baby move too! I felt the first movements on Clint's birthday. How cool is that!? Some days the baby is more active than others, but there are definitely little kicks, pokes, and turns coming from the inside! It is the neatest feeling in the world. I look forward to the times in my day that I can sit absolutely still and feel this little miracle in me. Unfortunately, nothing can be felt from the outside, but hopefully it won't be too long before Dad can feel the little one too!
Back-to-school shopping was a little different this year since I was buying all maternity clothes! A lot of my old clothes I thought would be great for pregnancy, well... aren't. They just don't fit right, or are tighter than normal. So, that meant some new clothes! Yippee! It is definitely fun "showing off" my belly instead of trying to hide it like I do when I'm not pregnant :) Here is my 18 week belly pic:

A painting project
My friend Kristen is about 8 weeks further along in her pregnancy than me. We are so excited to be going through this amazing journey together. She found this pillow as inspiration for her nursery decor. Isn't it adorable?!
Kristen and Mark painted an accent wall in their nursery this gorgeous reddish-orange color! Using the pattern on the pillow, I painted them a picture to go in the nursery. Here it is:
Here is the painting next to the accent wall! Pretty cool! I hope my future "niece" likes it :)

16 Weeks!
I got my first pair of maternity jeans in the mail today! They are so comfortable!
I have also switched our home office into one of our guest rooms to make room for a baby room. Clint was a savior in helping me move a dresser, cabinet, bookshelves, and TV! He even moved the TV and dresser three times, until I finally decided to put it back where it originally was. Poor guy! Then we ended up talking about just donating the TV since it's over ten years old, so... that will make another couple moves of the TV. I think I have some sucking up to do :)
I also got my first treadmill! I am looking forward to continuing to walk when I get home from work. With temperatures over 105 degrees here exercising inside will be my only option once school starts.
