Baby Girl Clothes.
Three simple words that describe my latest obsession and/or addiction (depending on how you look at it).
I simply cannot help myself.
In the beginning, I was sure I was having a boy. So, I had accepted the fact that all things would be blue and I would have to look hard to find cute boy clothes. If you have shopped for baby clothes, you know that almost every store has a very small section for boys while the rest of the store is overly stocked with girl clothes. Don't get me wrong- there are lots of cute boy clothes; there is simply more options available for girls. I was also very indecisive about how I would decorate a baby boy's nursery. The one thing I did know was what I would name him. I believe my husband was somewhat relieved at the idea of having a boy as he THOUGHT this meant less shopping. So, when the nurse told us at our 20 week appointment that we were having a girl...all I could do was laugh. Poor Ben- he was thrilled and worried at the same time. He knew what this meant. Two women = Lots of shopping. Ofcourse, he was right- I am already training baby girl for our shopping excursions.
I know that I should stop buying baby clothes. I know that I should atleast buy less. It is just that everytime I walk into a baby store, I am overpowered by my desire to buy all of the cute little girl clothes in the store. There is just so much cute stuff!
I pray that I am not the only mother-to-be with this problem.

Future gymnast or soccer player?
Lately baby girl has been kicking up a storm. I am certain she is doing flips in my stomach. It is very entertaining and sometimes I can hardly keep myself from laughing. However, I find that she decides to kick me at such times that it is inappropriate for me to laugh or give any indication that something is distracting me. For instance, today I was in a very long deposition. I was trying to pay attention to the other lawyer's questions and the witness' answers....however, baby girl had other plans for me. At one point, she kicked me so hard, I literally jumped. Ooops. A couple of weeks ago, I argued in front of the First Circuit Court of Appeal. This was one was of those times that I REALLY needed to pay attention and be 100% focused on what I was saying and doing. Again, baby girl had other plans. She kicked me during my entire 10 minute argument! I guess she was my cheerleader for the day and was supporting her momma. haha.
We are doing great and I am getting bigger. I do not have anything ready for her arrival. Good thing I have 14 more weeks to go.

Baby Girl Chapman
It's a GIRL!
I am almost 26 weeks pregnant and we are moving right along. We found out at 20 weeks that we are expecting a baby girl. Needless to say, I was completely shocked. I felt certain that we were having a little boy. But, it is definitely a little girl. We are still expecting her arrival on June 16, which is certain to be a very eventful week for so many reasons. I know most of you know that I lost my dad last summer. His birthday is June 18. I suspect that the week my baby is born will be very emotional as we will be celebrating her arrival and of course, remembering my dad. But, I know that he will be with us every step of the way. Wouldnt it be neat if she was born on his birthday? I guess God has his only little way of easing our pain here on earth. I know my baby will bring an amazing amount of joy to my family and will over power us with joy during this difficult time. How special is she.
So, more about the nursery. We have begun to prepare for little baby girl's arrival. I know I keep referring to her as baby girl- this is because we have not officially named her. However, if she you ask my husband, he has already named her :) We ordered her crib and dresser (which we will be using as a changing table as well). I have registered and cannot wait for our shower. We are having a couple's shower so Ben can enjoy opening presents as well! After a lot of research, I bought the crib bedding and I couldn't be any more excited! I bought the Hayley print from pottery barn kids, so we are decorating her room in green, pink and chocolate brown. I will post some nursery pictures as soon as we have it ready!
