Movin', Groovin' & Growin'

Just a quick update so you don't have to wait until next week.
This has been a fun week, as I've felt Mooner moving around quite a bit.  Sometimes there's kicks, other times rolls, and a few other things that I'm not totally sure what it is.  Unfortunately for Ryan, he has not yet been able to feel anything, but at this rate, I think he will soon.

In other news, this is melon week (a cantaloupe that is).  Mooner is about 6 1/2 inches long and about 10 oz if he/she is like the average baby.  However, by the beginning of week 21 (which is next week) Mooner will grow 4 inches and gain 2 oz!  That's some pretty significant growth. I can hardly believe it!  But, being that Mooner will grow that much, we're hoping that means we'll be sure to get a good look at the baby when we go in for our ultrasound next week.

In other fun news, Ryan and I went to our first parent-y thing. Babies R Us had this baby shower event with free give aways and such on Saturday.  Ryan was a good sport and decided to go.  He even won us a duffel bag by being the fastest person to diaper a stuffed lamb. But I promised him I wouldn't make him change all the diapers just because of his stellar performance.  :)  And although I didn't win, I did a 4 oz bottle chugging contest and got to keep the bottle.  (Chugging from a bottle is much more difficult than it sounds.  Sore jaw, anyone?)
Anyway, we had a pretty good time, and walked away with quite a few free and fun things for Mooner.

I finally got to making a side-by-side collage of my belly bump shots so far.  It's kind of funny that the 19 week picture looks bigger than the 20 weeks, but I think it's just the shot.  I definitely didn't get smaller.  Anyway, here you have it

I'm definitely getting bigger. But I have to say, I've never been so excited to gain weight and have a poochy tummy. It's a great reason though.

One week till we find out Mooner's sex!  We can't wait, and we're looking forward to sharing the news with you.
