here is a 20 week picture- same dress
it just happened that way. I only have so many outfits in my current rotation:)

The baby is moving a lot more now and Larry has been able to feel some kicks from the outside which is fun for him.

We registered this weekend- it was fun, but a tad overwhelming. I think I have finally gotten the list correctly edited and ready via the online features.
www.target.com and www.babiesrus.com
Personally Babies r Us is the better store with a better return policy and more selection, but it is not as convenient for everyone. Certainly not for us, since we had to drive to Fort Worth to register.

We are also registered at www.nurturedfamily.com for cloth diapers. *GASP* yes we are going to cloth diaper. People either think we are great or crazy for doing this. I have heard it all, "Yeah we tried that, it got way old, way fast." "You know you are going to have to do laundry all the time?" "Do you know how much work that is going to be?"
Cloth diapers are better for the environment. (disposables take up to 500 years to decompose in landfills) Cloth diapers are cheaper in the course of a babies diapered life. (literally thousands of dollars cheaper) Cloth diapers are not the same as when I was a kid. They Velcro on, have built in water proof covers, they are made with fleece linings that wick moisture away from the babies skin. And they are just as absorbent and trim fitting as disposables. AND the best part- cloth diapered babies typically potty train 6 months earlier than babies who wear disposables. (this is a statistic- every kid is different- i know)
Yes they have to be washed and yes I will have to do something with the poop. But I will have to deal with poop either way. And will have more laundry either way.
Bottom line- this is what we have decided is best for us. There is no judgment on disposables and we are giving ourselves an out if it is just too overwhelming for us in the long run.
Besides, I have no intention of being a total purist- We will NOT be using cloth wipes- ick.
We will probably have some disposables around for the church nursery and baby sitters.

And the Ultrasound Says...

It is a BOY!

I'd like to introduce you to Brooks Bradley Correll-Hughes.
We will be calling him Bradley.

Here are some pictures:

You can see his arm and part of his leg and of course his cute profile.
I think he has Larry's nose:).

Here is the boy part. He was a bit lazy and didn't move around a ton. Mostly kicked his legs and waved his arms. The ultrasound tech had to maneuver to get a good shot of the "area." This pic is of one leg and the parts.
However, we did see the little turtle as the tech called it, several times and there is no doubt- he is all boy!

Some pictures

Here are a couple of tummy Pics- just so you know, I have no intention of posting pictures of my bare belly. I think my belly is remarkable but not in a lovely pregannt lady kind of way- more in a seriously it is getting larger! type way.This is me at 8 weeks- not much to see.

This is me at 16 weeks- there is a little more bumpage. The picture is bad. Larry is a great person- not the greatest photographer. It usually takes about five tries to get a picture that is not too zommed out and actually shows my belly. I also hate having my picture taken which doesn't help. I wish I has smiled better in this one- oh well. There will be more...
