week 19

You're the size of a mango now! How did that happen? Just the other day you were the size of a blueberry. Now you're swimming and playing and keeping me from sleeping in. All I want to do is feel your summersaults.

I woke up Wednesday morning and my belly was huge! Out of nowhere. Just snuck up on us. All the girls at work were so excited. Finally a bump that didn't really look like beer belly.  It's not really as big as the picture below. That was after a pretty good size dinner. But is sure does look good. Very convincing.

Week 20 is the big week! We get to find out what you are. Boy or Girl?! A little Cruz or a little Naomi? Although I call you a baby boy all the time I'd be just as happy if you came out a mini me. We just pray for healthy. Once we find out we'll be in full decorating mode.

Here's a little sneak peak of what we've done so far....

Hooray for new windows. Well the picture is of the blank space where windows should be but you get it. Completed pictures to come.  AND this week your aunties and Mimi brought me some much needed clothes! I'll have to do a fashion show of all the goodies. I could have cried. I felt like I grew out of everything the day I took the week 19 picture. My pants were way beyond the hair tie trick and my shirts were a horrible fit.  I'm so very blessed to have the family I have. Somehow they can't hear my silent cries just when I need them to the most.
