Tomorrow is a big day for Little bean, mom and dad. Little bean will become a he or a she (or at least we'll start thinking of her as little beanette if it's a girl). Scott and I have an ultrasound appointment at 1p, and this is the gender ultrasound. WOOO HOOOO! I haven't had any "dreams" to reveal the sex, and I'm thinkin' this could go either way. That makes it so much more fun for me, I truly don't know!
Last night was a big night too. I DEFINITELY felt Little Bean squirming around in there as I was going to bed. We've got a kicker for sure. Scott even got to feel it. Very special moment!!!
Can't wait for tomorrow. The appointment is at 1p, but we are having a little gender reveal happy hour Friday after work. We'll be keeping this secret until then =) Can't wait to post the news and tell everyone about "the reveal"! I'll try to take video of it.

Oops I Did it Again
What was I saying last week about no appetite? I guess when it comes on, it comes on STRONG. For the second time in 3 days, I had to open a food item to eat it while shopping. This time it was at Target and I was shopping for treats for our ad agency team. I guess all the food made Little Bean jealous b/c I basically got slapped in the head by a "MUST EAT NOW" message. A mini-trail mix bag hit the spot.
I still don't have a huge appetite, I just need to be better about eating a little something every 3-4 hours to avoid these hunger spells.
Looking forward to a nice walk in the 'hood tonight. BEAUTIFUL WEATHER!!! It'll be here all week too. Bring it on!
3 days until the gender reveal!

Great Weekend
Scott won his first ever ALTA tennis match. WAY TO GO SCOTT! I went down to watch and boy was it chilly! The guys on his team are great, and both of us playing tennis has allowed us to meet lots of new folks in the new 'hood.
My planned match was Sunday, but forecast was 80% chance of rain. We played Saturday. It was GREAT weather, so that was nice. We lost the first set, but battled back and won in three sets. I played really sucky the first set and a few games into the second set. Holly came with the boys to cheer me on. It was like a switch went off and I was a new tennis player. Thanks for cheering on "ashy" max and Alex! You were my lucky charms! We ended up winning 4-6, 7-5, 6-2.
Then we had a FABULOUS dinner and date night at Bluepointe. It was fabulous although I ate way too much. The company was great too. Thanks for joining us Tripper and Holly.
Sunday was a good errands, clean up and lounging day. I watched Kung Fu Panda which was cute. I made one huge mistake on Sunday: I went to the store before eating and turned ravenous while shopping. It turned into another random grocery shopping experience where I bought WAY too much food. I haven't had a crunch ice cream bar since the 5th grade, so of course I needed those. Fruity deserts sounded good too, and I couldn't decide so I threw in some juice pops. Iced animal crackers also sounded yummy so those were a winner too. Doing aisle-by-aisle shopping is always a bad idea, but add in a starving pregnant lady and you've got trouble. I even had to open the pretzels and start munching. Ugh!
Scott helped me unload the groceries and kept opening the bags and laughing. There are too many random things to mention, but hey...that's what little bean wanted =)
Scott had a soccer game late Sunday afternoon and although I didn't get to see his rock-star playing he was named MVP of the match. Nice job!
Ended up the evening with soft taco night. Yummy.

1st Maternity Outfit- Head to Toe
On Friday, I wore my first ever maternity outfit. Ok, maybe head to ankle. The socks and shoes were not specially made for pregnant women =) I am to the point that even the belly band gets uncomfortable at times. Here's a pic of the cute, casual friday outfit. And BOY WAS I COMFY!
A special shout-out to Holly my sister-in-law who gave me the jeans. I'm so surprised they fit! She is shorter than me by more than a few inches, but the length actually worked =) The tops were winners from my maternity shopping spree with my mom and sis. Thanks mom for these tops!!! I love the cardigan and got 3-4 of these great t-shirts from GAP. Tiff and Stace were great to shop with. I have lots of good outfits for the coming weeks. I'll probably try to get away with the belly band and regular pants for a little while longer to give the work outfits options a little more variety. At this point the tops are more of an issue than the bottoms.
Oh, and for the record...loved motherhood maternity and destination maternity best so far. Izzy Maternity- the higher priced store- goes against everything I stand for. Many friends call me the coupon queen, and I'm a bargain shopper. I'll stay away from there from now on, no $60 camisoles for me =)

Week 19 Baby Bump
Here is the latest baby bump pic. Little bean is showing more and more.
I'm looking forward to the weekend. We've got Scott's first ever men's ALTA match for tennis. I'm sure he'll do great. Then we've got date night with Tripper and Holly. We're going to Bluepoint which is oh, so delicious. Scott has two school free weekends in a row before finals. It's a taste of free scott time to come!!

A mango ate my baby
Welcome to week 19 dear little mango. I don't know why but every time I say Mango I think of (insert australian accent)..."a dingo ate my baby", only I swap out the dingo with a mango.
So yes, we have grown to over 6 inches are are now mango sized. I'm sorry to see dill pickle week go, but I'm very excited about week 19. Number 19 was my soccer number so it's been my lucky number ever since. I have felt a few flutters, but I'm hoping week 19 is the week I start feeling our mango.

Where would you go?
Scott and I are trying to plan a babymoon. He's traveling abroad with school, so our vacation days are limited. This will be more of a long weekend. Current places we are throwing around:
- London
- Vancouver/Montreal
- New York City (piggy back a work trip)
- Maine/New Hampshire
- Carribean Cruise/Alaskan Cruise
- Tropical/Beach somewhere maybe Los Cabos, Caribbean, or Riviera Maya
We'd be going mid-May to end of June (26-32 weeks along). I want to relax, but I'm okay with a little "on the go" fun. I normally love the beach, but I'm thinking I'd get hot pretty quick.
Any suggestions?
