So Friday night the hubs and I were watching Couples Retreat (super cute!) and right near the end I felt a definite Little Bean movement! And then of course I immediately had to use the washroom. : )
I had been wondering, and kind of worried, when I would finally feel something. Now I'll probably be regretful I begged for it. : ) With Bella I didn't feel her move until after we knew she was a girl, so 21-22 weeks. But she was a tiny baby and I would feel her move but not too often and it was rarely very hard or painful/annoying. With Brynn I felt her at 16 weeks and never looked back. She was SO active the next 23 weeks and painfully kicked me constantly. I thought for sure I was going to have this hyperactive kid come out!
Well I'm just about 18.5 weeks already! I think my stomach doubled in size over this last weekend. Although I tend to look way more pregnant right after I eat. I'm not quite in maternity wear yet but I'm thinking of starting just to be more comfortable. I just tend to put it off as long as I can since you get so sick of them by the time the end rolls around. I'm looking forward to using a Bella-Band this time. Have you heard of these!? They did not have these wonderful inventions with my first two pregnancies (which wasn't that long ago)! They're a band that you can wear over regular jeans to keep them up if you want to leave them unbuttoned or over maternity pants to keep them from falling down (the most annoying thing about maternity clothes). I'm just kind of at that chubby stage right now. If you didn't know me and saw me you'd just think I needed to work out. I don't have the cute, round pregnant tummy yet. Close though!
So in less than 3 weeks (17 days- my Dr. office makes you wait until 21 weeks) we get to find out what this Little Bean is!! I thought it would be fun to take a poll and see what you guys think we might be having. I'm staying out of the guessing game. Since I'm always wrong when I guess I don't want to jinx it by purposely guessing wrong. Above anything we are just praying for a happy, healthy baby and preferably one that sleeps through the night and doesn't hurt me when they nurse. Hey I can dream. : )
So go to the top right of this page and make your vote!!! And the morning of April 16th we'll let you know if you're right or wrong!

I loved using the Bella Band when I was preggo with Lily! It helped so much even post partum! I can't wait to find out what you are having!!!
So far boy is winning, I think that might mean girl #3! :) It is amazing how quickly they come out with new products, my oldest is 6 and my youngest is 21 months and it is amazing the difference in products!
