Boy oh boy

In case you haven't heard we are having a baby boy! Here are some shots of him at 21 weeks.  
And finally, the belly pictures you have all been waiting for...

7 weeks and feeling sick, sick, sick.

12 weeks and not looking any bigger in the slightest.

14 weeks and still not showing.

Skip ahead 6 weeks (end of the school year/girls' camp/feeling lame at not gaining weight or showing)...
20 weeks and finally starting to show a little bit.

23 weeks YAY! people actually think I am pregnant now (sorry I forgot which way I faced for the previous pictures)

We are SOOOOOOOOO excited to have a little boy (no names yet)! He has been kicking hard enough for both mom and dad to feel since 16 weeks and yesterday was the first time we could actually SEE some of his movements. I rarely get sick and the 2nd trimester has been leaps and bounds better than the 1st. Some clothes are getting tight, but I still can wear almost everything in my wardrobe. I am very SLOWLY gaining weight, but expect to see that change at the next few visits. However, the doctors are not concerned in the slightest and say that everything is going very well. This week I signed up for a childbirth class (ahhh!) and bought airline tickets for Christmas (hopefully flying with a newborn is not too bad).

In other good news:
-We moved into a fantastic 2 bedroom apartment for only $30 more per month than our 1 bedroom apartment.

-We just passed our 3 year wedding anniversary! Best 3 years ever and we are celebrating late this year (last minute moves are tiring) by going to a National Symphony Orchestra concert.

-Steve's contracting job at DC public schools turned into a full-time regular job with benefits and he has less than a year to graduation.

I'm so jealous that you can feel him so much. Our girl isn't much of a mover... at least not enough that Chad can feel her. Hopefully she'll become more active soon because it makes me so paranoid that something is wrong.

You look great! I'm so glad you guys were able to move to a 2 bedroom - how fun! And, I can't believe that your husband only has a year left! What are your plans after that? Good luck with everything! And, PS, your hair grows super fast! :)

That's my nephew in those pictures! I can already tell, he's got the cutest little nose and chin. :D

And I'm so happy that you're finally showing! You look so adorable. I can't wait to see you. Caleb can't wait, either.

We've been wondering when you were going to start showing! Glad you are feeling better - the 2nd trimester is usually a good one. Can't wait to meet your little guy when he arrives in a few months.

Thanks, everyone!

Meghan- After graduation we are planning to look for a job for Steve somewhere in the West where it is easier to see family in Utah. And I know, my hair grows ridiculously fast, it drives me nuts!
