2. A small bump can be seen when wearing fitted shirts. And the bump grows as the hours tick by in the day. B Dub #2 is making himself/herself lots of room to grow in earlier than Reese did.
3. The tiredness is slowly diminishing. It's been my only constant symptom since about 6 or 7 weeks. I still want a daily nap, but I'm not sure how much of that is due to pregnancy.
4. I wish I was more "real" in my blog with Reese's first few months of life. Everything was just hunky dorey according to what I wrote, and I know it really wasn't. I find myself thinking of the newborn stage, go to my blog to read what it's like and see that I just wrote about her sweetness. Don't get me wrong. She was and is as sweet as pie, but she was NOT the easiest baby.
5. I think about double strollers a lot. Inline? Side-By-Side? Jogger? No jogger? I really like the Baby Jogger City Select and the Britax B-Ready right now, as well as the City Mini by BJ and a few others. Thoughts? Do I even really need a double in the beginning?
6. So, we are trying to sell our house, and Wes and I made a deal that if we are in the process of selling our home and see that there is no house on the market we like by April (our ultrasound date), we won't find out if it's a boy or girl. We would probably build a house in that case, and I'm sure that won't be finished by September. If I don't have a nursery to decorate, why find out, right?
7. I was a bit queasy this round, but that's definitely gone. I had one bout of it for about 20 minutes yesterday, but that's it.
8. I crave cheese, savory down home food, and I still eat a ton of chocolate. Same with Reese...thus, that's why I think it's a girl. And the Chinese calendar says so.
9. Wes and I can't agree on a girl name to save our lives. I LOVE my name idea, but Wes isn't too fond of it at all. Oh, and his girl names make me stick out my tongue. We think we may have a boy name, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
10. I took one belly picture the day I found out I was pregnant, and that's it. I was weekly with Reese, so I'm hoping to at least be monthly this time. I missed 2 months, but 3 is next Sunday.
And to close, I'll post the most recent real camera picture. Reese looked so cute at church yesterday, so I wanted to get some real pictures. Wes grabbed the camera before naptime, and this is what he got. She even had a sweet little bow in her hair for a few minutes, but it clearly didn't make it all the way to this point.
Happy Presidents Day! As a former history teacher, I hope you at least stop for a minute to be thankful for people willing to lead this country. It's a job I definitely would not want to do. Have a happy week!

I feel so conflicted about the double stroller situation, too! Let me know if lightning strikes you with inspiration. I really like your deal with Wes - if you don't get to decorate ahead of time anyway, it would be fun to not know!
hey, its ang! figured out how to do a comment on here even tho i don't have a blog! :)
chinese calendar said we're having a boy. it was dead right w/ our baby girl, too. we'll see! we didn't find out w/ her, but will w/ this one!
happy 11 weeks!!

I'm all for the double jogger...you can always use it like your regular stroller and if you don't have one, you might kick yourself for not (speaking from the girl who loves to run). That said, I'm sure they're not easy to use.
So excited for you Kate!
The double stroller conundrum. I got the baby jogger side by side. I wanted one compatible with my Chicco car seat. Since we do run and are outside a lot it's great, but it is really bulky to haul around in the car (and I drive a big suv with plenty of room.) I ended up buying the Chicco in-line to be compatible with my car seat for every day use and for shopping. (The side-by-side's are not mall friendly.) I've ended up with two double strollers with completely different purposes, but I use them each a lot. My kids are 2 1/2 years apart and I'm very grateful to have a double so that I'm not pushing a stroller with one child and chasing the other. In my opinion, it's a necessity. I hear people love the sit and stand strollers in these situations, but my boys require a seatbelt so they don't run off unexpectedly. Good luck with the stroller and for a healthy baby!
