So this past Saturday, my mom, a couple girlfriends (I wont give out names, so as you don't steal my excellent helpers!) and myself had a mini baby shower brainstorming session. The session was of course catered by our "Girl's Lunch" fave, OG. LOL
I cant believe how much we got done! We still have approx 8 weeks until the shower, but I soo love planning and having little occasions to look forward to. And miraculously I have good friends who are great at that stuff too!
So yay! its all coming together and I'm so excited!
Oh! and we are 6 months along, today! Woohoo! Things are cruising right along!

22 Week Ultrasound
So we had another ultrasound today to take another look at the little echogenic areas in her heart. They're still there, but nothing to be concerned with. Just something to keep an eye on.
Now that of course is not the exciting part. Today was the first time we found out her weight! And of course she is right on target at a whopping 1 lb and 1 oz!
She was all curled up again and turned away from us, so we really didn't get to see too much of her face. Boo! But when we did get a peek at her profile, I am again convinced that she has her daddy's nose! Even my mom said she doesn't have my nose. I figure she would know, since she saw the ultrasounds of me! LOL
We got to see lots of her hands and feet, with all her little fingers and toes. Matt and I of course just soak up the special time to watch her and bond. Its wonderful and I cant wait for the next 4 weeks to go by, so we can see her again!

Belly Pics!
So my mom has been taking the occasional belly pic. And I've had quite a few requests, so I figure I better get them posted!
Pictures are at 14, 18 and just this last weekend on my birthday at 21 weeks. Enjoy! oh! and FYI, I have only gained 7 lbs, so that big giant belly really is all her!

A Few New Pics of Our Little Girl...
We got a peek at her today! My belly has grown quite a bit, but I cant believe how much she has grown!
So here are a couple of the good ones!
The first one is of her feet, which I would call little, except she has skis for feet! LOL Then there is a good 3D pic of her face. I cant believe she looks like a real person now, instead of that alien fetus face look. I cant wait til her little cheeks fill out. And then the last one is just a nice profile shot and her big round melon. Definitely a "Gregory" noggin!

Our 1st Pictures Together!
Alright, so Matt and I have been together the better part of 6 1/2 years. We have NEVER had any pictures taken! we don't even have that many snap shots together! So we decided we better get in there and get some done, before I started looking too pregnant. At least for documentation sake. LOL
So down to JC Penneys we went. Coupon in hand of course. This was at the end of January, so belly was poking out a little, but still mostly just looked like I had a big lunch and was kinda fluffy. My how three weeks makes such a difference!
Anyway, so I friggin love JCP so much better than Picture People. Aside from the cost, ($25 for 5 sheets and one of them was a 10x13!) just the fact that I felt like the girl had taken more than 3 pictures in her career. Short and simple and so easy. We weren't looking for super glamorous. We just wanted...something!
We plan on doing some more pictures there when I am a little farther along. Some nice belly shots. I look forward to those. We'll see how I feel when we get there. LOL
Yay for more pictures on my "FAMILY" wall!

Baby Shopping....
So while Matt and I were in Seattle, we hit up Babies R Us. It was hugemongous to say the least. However, since we have the clothing thing fully covered, our sights were primarily set on bedding sets and toys and any other non-clothing items.
Before we even got to the store, Matt was saying he wanted bright colors, and NOT pale pastels and soft pinks. I agreed, but it really depends on what I find. I just don't like "character" themes or anything TOO cartoony. Ladybugs are fine, flowers are fine, just nothing that looks like it should have its own TV show. ew.
So naturally Matt found a couple that he really liked. What color were they? Soft friggin pastel pink. LOL And characters no less! AAAARRRGG! I on the other hand, didn't find anything I particularly loved. I also have a little shopping habit that drives Matt nuts, usually leading us to no purchases at all. LOL
I put everything in the cart that I want. Then as I continue to shop all around the store, I get to think about whether I ACTUALLY want the item or if it will match, etc... Occasionally pulling an item out to look at it again or compare it to another one. So many times, at the end of the trip, I had put 12 items in the cart, only to keep 2. It's my way of decreasing buyers remorse. LOL
So anyway, I walk back and forth through the bedding aisle, and all through the nursery set ups, so I can get a good look and feel for all the sets, waiting for something to really catch my eye. On my third trip through, poor Matt had enough and decided we weren't buying any bedding and he was ready to be done shopping.
We left Babies R Us with no purchases. Can you believe that? And since then, I cant get Matt to look at any baby items online, and he refuses to go shopping. I may be on my own to set up this nursery. LOL
