With my first pregnancy, it was quite a while before I started to really show much. And then it was a while longer before I put up a picture of what I looked like. Well, the bump started way earlier this time and I'm prepared to share earlier too. I don't love this stage of pregnancy where you tend to just look a little chubby rather than pregnant. Anyhow, here I am- 16 weeks and 5 days into my pregnancy.
I've been a little depressed with the lack of comments I get on the blog. I know lots of people check in thanks to my sitemeter, but I usually only get 0-2 comments per post. It kind of stinks to put this much work into something and get little or no response. I know I have been a bad blogger lately (really really bad while I had so much morning, afternoon and evening sickness) so part of it is my fault. I've been trying to be a better blogger and in order to try and stir up some comments and see who is reading, I decided to hold a contest and give away a $25 gift card of your choice (but please remember I have to be able to get the card in Iowa). The contest is to guess whether we are having a boy or girl. We find out on December 30th but I am making the cutoff for entering midnight on Christmas Day (12/25/09). Of those who guess correctly, I will randomly pick one winner for the gift card and announce it in a post on December 30th, after we go to the doctor. If the baby is not cooperative for the ultrasound, we will still do the contest but have to delay the picking and announcement of the winner until we find out. So please leave a comment with your guess and say hello! And to my husband Rob, if you read this, you are not eligible to enter the contest. Sorry honey but it just doesn't seem right.

BOY!
I think it's a boy, too! ;)
Shelby, I didn't know you had a blog until today. So fun! I am guessing a GIRL!
For some reason, I feel like it's going to be a boy, but I think you'd have a blast with a girl. Regardless, my guess is BOY. :)
I'm with Nanette. Although wishful thinking hopes you're having a girl...my official vote is BOY.
Love,
Belinda
BTW, I heard that you show much quicker with your second pregnancy -- something having to do with the muscle memory of your uterus.
I have been a closet reader for sometime now. I also read your friend Nanners. I hail from MN, graduating high school and leaving the MN for the NE where I was never a Huskers fan. I have been in MO for 15 years now and love to hear about your snow adventures. I miss snow, we haven't had much here in MO for many years now. I am secretly hoping you have a girl, but I have a feeling it's a boy. So my vote is BOY.
Shelby! I LOVE your blog!!! You do a VERY good job! :) And my guess is a girl. :) Love ya!

Even though I think a girl would be wonderful in your family...I just have this deep feeling that it's a boy. So my vote is BOY. Whichever it is, it will be just what we wanted. XOXO...Nana
I'm going with girl just so our families could match. But regardless, you won't have 2 redheads like us!

I will say girl...
