Slugs and snails, and puppy dog tails...


That's what little boys are made of :)

That's right.
Baby Rego is a little boy.

Monday was our 20 week ultrasound.
I've had a countdown on my phone for the past 2 months.
The night before, I slept terribly due to my excitement!

Our ultrasound tech was awesome!
It really is insane how they know what they are looking at.
We saw his kidneys, stomach, brain, spine...
You name it, she found it!
We got a disk full of every picture she took, and they are all so clear.
It took her, I kid you not, less than a minute to find the gender.
She also mentioned that he is a bit of a show off, because he would not hide his little peep any time she passed by it.

And if you were wondering if my "mommy instinct" was right...
It was :)

I don't really know how to explain it.
I felt like I was wasting my time thinking of girls names.
And I felt awkward looking at girls clothes.
We are both beaming with happiness.
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't cry.

Knowing what this little karate kicking kiddo is, makes everything so real.
We are finally feeling him move from the outside.
Ethan felt him for the first time the day before the ultrasound.
I love that he can finally feel something.
I feel like, for now, it's their way of bonding.
It's such a special thing to witness.
I can't wait to get to Colorado so my sisters can feel the little guy kick.

I have updated my registry and can't wait to start his little woodland nursery!
Speaking of registries...I was kind of nervous about registering on a website.
People procrastinate, and like seeing things in person.
But things are already being bought which makes me so excited!!!

Also, etsy may be the death of me.
So many adorable hand made things to find!!!


I can't wait to celebrate and eventually meet our little stud.

I'll leave you all with this little pregnancy questionnaire that I see often on blogs :)

How far along: 20 weeks 4 days

Total weight gain/loss: I am up about 13-14 lbs.  This is definitely the worst part of my pregnancy! I'm not used to these numbers in the slightest!

Maternity clothes: just a few shirts. I have about 3 pairs of pants that still button. If I am not wearing those its my lulus, the hair band loop, or a belly band.

Stretch marks: None yet! Hoping that this body butter continues to do its thing!

Sleep: I sleep pretty fantastic aside from a pee break every night between 2 and 3

Best moment this week: Of course seeing our healthy little one!

Movement: I definitely have been raising a break dancer in there. He is constantly jabbing me with elbows and knees and feet. In fact...he is currently using my uterus as a punching bag.

Food cravings: peaches and that's about it.

Gender: BOY!!!

Labor signs: none. It's a bit early so thank god for that!

Belly button-in or out? Still in!

What I miss: All my cute clothes. They tend to look ridiculous now.

What I am looking forward to: My shower in Colorado next week!

Milestones: I'm officially half way done!!! And we have a name! ( But don't ask yet! It's a secret for now!)

Love always,
The Regos
