"It's a sign!" "But you don't believe in signs."

10 points to anyone who can tell me the name of the movie that's from :)

This week is 16 weeks! I'll post pics of me at 15 and 16 weeks since I never got around to posting last week.

15 weeks

16 weeks

New developments these past couple of weeks: back pain is gone?? Dare I say it? I haven't had that horrible pinched nerve feeling for the past week and a half or so. It got pretty bad, and then it went away. Doctor said it was pretty normal and maybe stretches or exercises might help. (gee, thanks) But who knows, maybe all the traveling just aggravated it, and now that I've been home for a few weeks, it's relieving some of the tension or something.

Another new development, nosebleeds. Fun stuff. About every other day I've been getting them. This happened to me several other winters, so I wasn't surprised that it's happening again during pregnancy, especially with the dryer weather too.

And the most exciting (possibly) new development: baby kicks?? I had a strange sensation a couple of weeks ago, but figured that it probably was just my imagination. Then about a week later, I felt it again. Then the past few days, I have felt it a lot, especially if I am laying down and still right after I eat in the evenings. I still am not 100% sure it's baby, but it's definitely feeling a little jumping bean intermittently, and right around the area where the heartbeat is when the doctor checks. I have been placing my hand over the spot after I feel it, and waiting to see if I feel it again, but of course it's so sporadic that I don't feel anything again for another half hour or more. Last night was the most, I think I was sitting down for ~2 hrs and I felt maybe 3 or 4 flutters. I think 15-16 weeks might be kinda early, but not unheard of to feel baby movement, right?

And now, on to the title of my entry. I was at a kid's 2nd hand store today, buying some maternity wear (yay for cheap clothing!) and was up at the cash register when the customer in front of me was getting back some bags of clothing that she was trying to sell to the store. Apparently the store had so much baby clothes that they didn't need her 2 huge trashbags full of clothes, so she turned to me and asked me if I was pregnant. I told her I was. She asked if I knew what I was having yet, and I told her that I didn't know yet. She asked if I wanted her outgrown girl clothes. I guess she was going to just drop by Goodwill if she couldn't get the store to take them, so I told her that even if we didn't end up needing girl clothes, I definitely could find someone who would! Here's a picture of the stuff that was in there. So much!



I went through and pulled a few onesies and sleepers that were gender neutral, plus there was a tub sling thing, and a baby carrier in there too. We'll see in about a month whether or not I'll be able to put those frilly pink dresses to good use or not... I drove away thinking that maybe it's a sign! Oh wait, I don't believe in signs :)
