21 weeks

How many weeks: 21!


Size of baby: Size of a large carrot

Weight Gain: 12 lbs
Maternity Clothes: yes please! I mostly wear dresses because it's just so much easier and I think it looks more slimming on me to wear dresses. And let's just face it; I need all the help I can get these days:)

Gender: it's a BOY! Judd Richard

Movement: Feels like a little fish in there! He is SO LOW and he loves to dance on my bladder. He is most active in the evening and early morning.

Sleep: Sleeping pretty good. I get a little freaked out at this point because I wake up on my back a lot which is a no no. Just upped my pillows from 2 to 6 (ok maybe just 4) to stop all that though. So far it's helping! I wake up super early and then get sleepy each day around 1pm. I am exhausted every afternoon and fight off taking naps like it's my job!

What I Miss: Sleeping on my stomach and my memory. I am so forgetful these days!! The pregnancy brain is no joke and I'm sure all involved with me these days are less than happy about my absent mindedness. I also miss bending over with ease. Now it seems like I always have to make some loud sigh as I am struggling to get up and down. 
I'm also missing cooler weather. This triple digit heat is BAD!

Cravings: Anything that I don't cook and that's at a restaurant!
My cravings change alot, but the ones that remain are cottage cheese and watermelon, bagels and cream cheese, avacado, fruit (strawberries, peaches, pineapple, plums, bananas with peanut butter, and grapes) frozen yogurt, twizzlers, chocolate, cheese cubes with salted pecans/cashews/almonds, and handi snacks. I mean seriously? Those are the best!! Who can not appreciate a good old fashioned handi snack?
That list is growing rapidly. HA!!

Symptoms: Heartburn/Indigestion, headaches, and exhaustion. Starting to get a little back ache. Another weird symptom is I am allergic to my wedding band. Can't wear it at all.

Best Moment this Week: Making more fun things for Judd and Aaron feeling him move! ALSO, his bedding came in!!!!! I will share after his nursery is all put together.

Here are a few pieces of SheShe Made Judd has collected...

I mean really? Can a baby have too many name gowns? I don't think so! Especially this little one.

New for fall

What have we been up to lately???

Take a look for yourself...













































And just for fun....

Baby Sacks/Gowns/Layette

I still am not sure what name I prefer when talking about baby gowns.
To me, gown sounds too feminine.
And, well, lets just face it...
Sack sounds too masculine.

And layette? Sounds fancy but old fashioned.

So, I am just all around undecided.

What is your preference?
What word do you use when referring to these wonderful little aricles of clothing???

When Ava was a newborn, up to about 4 months, she slept in these things EVERY NIGHT! I loved them more than anything. Well, besides the swaddle blankets! So easy to change diapers, and just so comfortable.

But there was one problem...

They weren't cute.
And in this particular phase, comfort and convenience trumped cute.

Now that I am at a place where I can merge comfort and convenience with cute, I take a shot at it. And I am pleased with the results!

Take a looksie...
















Which one is your favorite?

We are in the finishing stages of a minky gown for the cooler months too! The top is black and the bottom...well lets just say it has the colors of hot pink, lime, black, and white! Can't wait to show it off!!

These have been our best sellers as far as "coming home outfits" go and boy howdy, I get so excited when I get an email asking to make another custom one, because I so want this collection to multiply!! Just for the love of cuteness!

If you or anyone you know is having a baby, we'd love to make one of these for you! And because we want to increase our selection, we will give you a discount on a custom ordered gown.

What?
A DISCOUNT ON A CUSTOM ORDER?
YOU BETCHA!

We will take 10% off any custom ordered gown. Just shoot us an email at sheshebows@yahoo.com or leave a comment with your email address and let us know what colors/theme you have in mind! We would love to hook you up...and in turn, you will hook us up!

Sounds like a fair tradeoff to me!!

In the meantime...we are officially on "holiday" from processing orders. But I am still around these parts until next Tuesday, when we head to the beautiful coast of Maine until the end of July!

Happy Tuesday:)
