13 weeks

 **Please excuse the tired pregnant lady face...also, don't you see that baby bump?  Is it supposed to be that pronounced at 13 weeks? Sheesh..I wonder how huge I will be ten weeks from now**

how far along?  13 weeks
how are you measuring? Right on schedule

size of baby? A peach!
heartbeat? 170 bpm...maybe it's a girl!
total weight gain/loss? Still under my pre-pregnancy weight, but the good news is I am not losing anymore!
maternity clothes? Alright...I don't have a whole lot of maternity clothes but I am wearing a Beband (from Target) that slips over the button of my pants so I don't have to button them.  I still can button them, but it's not comfortable at all. I'm telling you...This bump is growing and I am surprised at the rate of growth. 
stretch marks? No
sleep? Sleeping okay...I do have to get up in the middle of the night to pee.  And that get's on my NERVES!  I have never had to do that until now.  I have started sleeping with a pillow between my legs to help me fall asleep.
best moment this week? Officially getting to my 2nd trimester, bowling with friends, not getting sick a lot

movement? I'm not feeling anything yet.
food cravings? bagels, milk, candy...and still taco bell. BUT I resisted the urge and ate a salad and an apple for lunch today. 
gender predictions? I have a feeling it's going to be a girl.
what i miss: Sleeping on my stomach, feeling 100% normal, and turkey sandwiches.

what i'm looking forward to: Booking our babymoon! We are in the last stages of deciding where to go...I am so excited!
how are you feeling? Still on the upside as far as nausea goes...I do still get sick sometimes, but usually eating something helps..  I have been getting sick at night now, that's not fun...but it could always be worse.  

12 weeks {revisited}

Yep, I am 12 weeks pregnant again this week!  No, I am not losing my mind!  At my last appointment in December, my doctor told me I was measuring a little behind (meaning she might change my due date to August) and sure enough, this appointment, she did change my due date.  I was measuring 12 weeks and not 13 like I thought...so here we are again!  12 weeks pregnant for the second time (not really) but you get it.

 

I was bummed because no one wants to be told you'll have to be pregnant for another week longer ESPECIALLY in August when it'll be 1059 degrees outside...but hey, that's okay.  I have a healthy growing baby!  I am thankful and so blessed to be carrying this sweet little peach.  

 

So my new due date is....  AUGUST 9th!     I went into the appointment thinking I would only hear the heartbeat and got an ultrasound instead! I was okay with it...it was sooooo great to see my sweet little babe.  And he/she was kicking and flipping like crazy! Can we say showoff? ;)

 Can you see his/her arms and legs?  SO COOL!  

Here's a 12 week update!

A little bitty bump... :)

 

 

how far along?  12 weeks today!
how are you measuring? Right on schedule now...after a due date change.  Had my appointment yesterday and she said everything looked gorgeous!

size of baby? A passion fruit/ large plum
heartbeat? 170 bpm...maybe it's a girl!
total weight gain/loss? Still under my pre-pregnancy weight, but the good news is I am not losing anymore!
maternity clothes? I'm still wearing my normal clothes..although I did wear a pair of maternity dress pants just because and those things are SO COMFY!  I might bust them out again even though I don't really need to..
stretch marks? No
sleep? Sleeping okay...I do have to get up in the middle of the night to pee.  And that get's on my NERVES!  I have never had to do that until now. 
best moment this week? Seeing the baby yesterday and getting a great report at the doctor. ALSO, I made my next appointment for the end of next month and she told me it could be THE one where we find out the gender! YYYAYAYYAYAY!  And my grandfather (in-law) showed up at my work yesterday with a vase of three GORGEOUS roses for me.  It was "just because".   I wanted to cry!! That was one of the sweetest things I've ever gotten!  AND not even thirty minutes later, I had a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered that said "Happy 2nd trimester, momma!" (this was before doc moved my due date back) and those were from hubby.  I. am. so. lucky.  <3 span="">

movement? I'm not feeling anything yet.
food cravings? Dr. Pepper, bagels, MILK all the time.
gender predictions? I have a feeling it's going to be a girl.
what i miss: Sleeping on my stomach, feeling 100% normal, and turkey sandwiches.

what i'm looking forward to: Being out of the first trimester!  I hope the 2nd is a little nicer to me than the 1st has been! And picking out nursery ideas and colors...
how are you feeling? Still on the upside as far as nausea goes...I do still get sick sometimes, but usually eating something helps.. 



Here are the flowers hubby had delivered to work: <33 br="">

 And here are the roses hubby's grandpa gave to me! I am so blessed to have such wonderful in-laws.



We love you so much, little baby!  Xoxo

11 weeks

how far along?  11 weeks (really almost 12 now, but I'll do a 12 week update in a couple days)

size of baby? A large plum
heartbeat? 143 bpm- at my 8 weeks appointment
total weight gain/loss? Still losing weight...  :(  Total weight loss is around 10 pounds.  I've NEVER said this in my life, but I am ready to gain weight!

best moment this week? My mom coming to visit and cooking me dinner and bringing me some baby stuff! She brought me the bassinet that she used with me and my brothers and I am planning on using it for baby.  She also brought me a few handmade blankets my great grandmother made-so special!

movement? I'm not feeling anything yet.
food cravings? Taco Bell....double decker taco and pintos and cheese.  And I had to make a run to the store for one ingredient to make buffalo chicken dip.  I wanted some so bad and it was soooo good.  Then I had to throw it out the next day because the smell made me sick. Oh, and Starburst and Runts!
gender predictions? I have a feeling it's going to be a girl.  But I think that's because I already have girl names and nursery ideas picked out. haha!

Here is a photo that hubby snapped of me while in the store to get buffalo chicken dip.  I was so embarrassed that he put this on facbeook, but then we just laughed about it.

Cut off sweatpants, black and white cheetah print socks, and cheetah print flats.  Classy, right?  haha!  

I'll start taking bump pictures next week!

10 Weeks

how far along?  10 weeks and five days
how are you measuring? I have only had one appointment which was at around 8 weeks, and my doc thought I was measuring a little smaller than I thought but I tracked my cycles for a while and know the exact day...no other details needed but doc said she would push back my due date if I'm still measuring smaller at the next appointment which is January 23. I don't get an ultrasound until 20 weeks, so I'm just crossing my fingers she keeps the due date of 7-31-13. :)

size of baby? A lime!
heartbeat? 143 bpm- doc said it was great!
total weight gain/loss? When I found out I was pregnant I was around 10-12 lbs heavier than I am now! :(  I have had morning sickness that lasts all day long and so that made me lose 5 or so pounds over the past 2/3 weeks and then on Friday I got the FLU and so I lost another 5 or so pounds from being so sick...oh yeah, and I had morning sickness along with that.   Let's just say I wanted to die.  But thankfully, I am feeling better..just no energy.  I hope I can gain some weight soon. 
maternity clothes? I'm still wearing my normal clothes and they fit just fine!! Most of them are actually a little big on me.
stretch marks? No
sleep? I am sleeping okay when I'm not sick.  I miss sleeping on my stomach already.  The girls have been pretty sore so I haven't been able to sleep on my stomach.  Guess I better get used to it for the next 7+ months!
best moment this week? Telling our friends on NYE.  Everyone was so shocked and excited!

movement? I'm not feeling anything yet.
food cravings? A turkey sandwich- man I want one so bad..but I can't have one!  Apparently you aren't supposed to eat lunch meat when you are pregnant.  I mean, you can eat it, but you have to warm it up to kill a bacteria known as listeria...  and hot lunch meat makes me want to puke.  Also, powdered doughnuts, and taco bell (Pintos and cheese, and a double decker taco) 
gender predictions? I have a feeling it's going to be a girl.  But I think that's because I already have girl names and nursery ideas picked out. haha!
what i miss: turkey sandwiches, sleeping on my stomach, feeling good (morning sickness has hit me hard!),

what i'm looking forward to: No more morning sickness (please let it go away after the 1st trimester!) and getting a little bump!
how are you feeling? Trying not to be a negative nancy, but it's been rough...I had to tell my co-workers I was pregnant at like 8 weeks because I was so sick everyday..coming to work with no makeup on, they had to know something was up. Haha... i was also out of work for 2.5 days because I was soooo sick, and then last Friday due to the flu! :(  Let's just say I am hoping to have all sickness behind me soon.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Yes, friends!!! We are having a BABY!

Coming July 2013- I cannot wait! :)

More details to come...

Xoxo,
