I've lagged.
Lots of fun stuff has happened in the last month and I've really lagged on posting. The most exciting thing was confirming we are having a boy! YAY!
Corey went to Oregon and Washington for a week with his buddy Jerry, they saw the sights, visited friends, took photos and got to skateboard what Corey claims is the best park in the US on Orcas Island around Portland. He had a great time and I'm glad he was able to take a trip like this before the baby comes.
During that week I was in San Diego with my family. We had a blast as always relaxing by the bay and pools. I did go out on the boat to get pictures of Danielle and my dad wakeboarding but the baby didn't like that very much. I felt my first good couple of kicks(?) the day before I came home.
The day after we both got home we went to Rich and Mary's wedding at a winery in Temecula, the ceremony was outside overlooking the fields and the reception was in the barrel room. It was beautiful and so romantic, really about their love which of course brought back so many good memories of our wedding almost 2 years ago.
I got a couple things for the baby in San Diego and we went on Monday and bought our bedding. I was so stressed because I wasn't finding bedding I loved, but when Corey and I browsed online together his favorite was the one I originally picked out, we went to Babies R Us to look at it and bought the set while we were there. It's all becoming more real to Corey now, he started sweating after we had been in BRU for a few minutes. I don't know when it's normal for "outsiders" to feel the baby move but Corey can't feel it yet and probably won't for a few weeks due to my Anterior Placenta, he's bummed about it. After we hadn't seen each other for a week he mentioned that because he see's me everyday he didn't notice my belly but after being gone for a week he can tell I'm pregnant now.
This is his bedding. We love the bright colors! I know I wanted something really bright and cheerful. The room will probably be painted lime green and light blue with the border in the middle. I'm so excited to get started on the room in a few weeks.

Corey's gone
Corey left for Santa Cruz this morning, I already miss him. I don't know if it's being pregnant or if I'm just going thru a stage but I always want him around. If he doesn't get home from work at his normal time I find myself wanting to call and find out when he will be home. I'm already dreading going to bed cause I know sleeping will be difficult and Zoey won't settle if Corey isn't here. He's only gone for 3 days so I know we can handle it.
I think I've felt the baby move a few times, I've been feeling kind of a vibrating or flutter feeling. For the last few mornings I've laid in bed awhile longer to see if I could feel anything and the best way I can explain what I've felt is like gas bubbles, but with no gas to follow. I don't really know if that was the baby or just my imagination but when people ask and I tell them about it they say it's the baby. We find out the sex next month and I can't wait.
The sun has finally made an appearance in socal, I've been enjoying it and really hope the June gloom is gone. My dad set up their pool so I've been spending time over there, it's 8ft round and 4ft deep, perfect for lounging!
The day after we find out the sex I leave for San Diego for 9 days, I have to cut the vacation a day short cause we have a wedding to go to at a winery in Temecula, I'm excited for that as well. Corey will be going to Portland for a week to hang out with friends and skate. I've urged him to take lots of trips before the baby gets here cause once he/she arrives I will need him here. I'm sure I'll miss him then too but the pools, bay, and relaxation will make that easier.

Out of my first trimester!
Such a relief! I don't have much to report on other then getting to see a healthy baby a few times.
This is 13weeks 4 days
I had another appointment this Monday and heard the heartbeat loud and clear on the doppler. I've lost 15 pounds but my Dr. said she's not really worried yet. I don't know where the 15 pounds came from cause I'm surely not getting any smaller and my clothes are only getting tighter. I don't have a bump yet, but I can definitely feel my uterus getting bigger.
I love all these little outfits. I'm not buying anything else cause Corey decided he does want to find out the sex so we go on July 16th to find out. My last ultrasound the tech said there was a 60% chance it's a boy because of this:
I don't get it but I'll go with it, I'm not holding my breath though.

Here's some cute things I picked up at the outlet mall in Texas

I'm home
Got home from Texas lastnight, it was a fun and refreshing trip. I don't know that I had any idea what to expect of Texas but it definitely shocked me. It was so green!
I arrived Thursday afternoon, Jessica picked me up from the airport and we went to her apartment in Plano. I met her boyfriend and then we went to eat at his work called The Blue Goose, great food and friendly staff. We headed to Fort Worth to her parents house. The drive was beautiful and the huge man made lake was amazing. Her parents live a street up from the lake in a large home, some of the houses around there were amazing. It was weird seeing everything made out of brick and stone cause there's not many buildings around here made of those materials. We made a quick trip to Sonic for some ice cream that night. My very first trip to Sonic.
Friday we left bright and early for San Antonio, we arrived 5 hours later. I'm not used to the mugginess much less the heat so that was quite an adjustment for me. After getting settled at the hotel we went and walked the riverwalk and went to see The Alamo. I really love visiting historical locations like that, there's something eerie and real about them. Seeing actual weapons and uniforms, reading the first hand accounts, being able to look at diagrams reinacting the event, it wasn't hard to imagine it as if it was happening now. We headed back to the hotel with a stop at the mall we had to walk thru, I was able to take a nap and then we headed back down to the Riverwalk for dinner. After a long dinner we headed back to the hotel, watched Confessions of a Shopoholic and went to bed.
Saturday we awoke early again and headed to Sea World. We decided to watch the Shamu show first and right after that ended it started pouring rain. I've never experienced rain like this before, it was hot, pouring and windy. After getting completely soaked we put on our poncho's and made a run for the closest cafe. We ate lunch and waiting out the rain for awhile. It finally started to calm down after about 2 hours so we headed out to the park again. We watched the Beluga whale and dolphin show, it also had like a cirque de sole theme to it so there were lots of performers with great tricks. We watched a few more shows and visited some other animals and headed back to the hotel. After some hot showers we went to the hotel for dinner and hot chocolate.
We left Sunday morning and stopped at the outlet mall on the way home. They had a Carter's and Osh Kosh outlet so of course I got some outfits for the baby. We spent most of the day driving and once we got home we just watched movies and passed out.
Monday I had to say goodbye to Jessica's family which was really sad for me, growing up I would literally live at their house for days at a time. Jessica's dad coached all the league softball teams I was on and her mom was truly like a second mom to me. I knew arriving that things would fall back into place and I would be like one of their kids again and I was, they had no problem bossing me around when they didn't think I was eating or drinking enough, but leaving was a lot harder then I expected. Back in Plano we went to Hobby Lobby which is unlike anything we have around here, I found my dad a great sign that says "Grandpa's Worskshop, broken toys fixed here" I can't wait to give it to him for his birthday. We went to Studio Movie Grill which is again unlike anything we have here. We got home around 10:30, watched Bride Wars which was adorable and went to bed.
Tuesday we went to Sonic for breakfast, I got an oceanwater which was fantastic. Getting dropped off at the airport was heartbreaking. Jessica and I have been thru a lot over the last 13 years, no matter what's happened we both know when we need each other we are there. I'll post pictures later and probably write more.
