16 Weeks

This month has been insane. My weekends switched at work and I am still trying to get into a new routine. I keep meaning to post baby updates on my day off but I have been so tired that all I do is sleep (and don't want to get dressed for a photo!). But here I am this morning before work! A few weeks later but looking pretty much the same....

How Far Along? 16 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss? 13 pounds

Maternity clothes? Still wearing leggings and my 2 pairs of maternity pants. Most of my tops still work and I dug a few dresses out of the back of my closet.

Stretch marks? Using tons of cream and (so far) avoiding new ones. 

Sleep? Still eating every 3 or 4 hours so still no sleeping through the night for me. 

Best moment this week? Booking the 3D ultrasound so we can see baby better and tell what it is!

Miss Anything? Eggnog with rum (it is not the same without the run!) & rare meat. I love steaks but am one of the people who orders them blue rare. Well done is just not my thing. 

Movement? Still nothing but the baby is high enough that I should be able to feel it soon.

Food Cravings? Still anything sour and anything citrus. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Chicken and coffee. I would love for both of these to go back to normal!

Have you started to show yet? There is definitely a baby there- clients at work are commenting every day- they can't believe that I am only 16 weeks along!

Gender? Two more weeks and I'll know!!!

Labor signs? None!

Belly Button in or out? It is disappearing! 

Wedding rings on or off? Still on, not spinning at all anymore though!

Happy or Moody most of the time? Still happy although certain people seem to bring out the bitchy in me. Fortunately my love of Christmas music puts me back into a good mood!

Looking forward to? Getting our Christmas tree up and seeing both sets of parents in December!

13 Weeks (again...)

How Far Along? 13 Weeks- The test results that the Doctor wanted to go over with me were the ultrasound reports. The baby was smaller than it should have been based on the original timeline. My due date changed to May 13th!

Total weight gain/loss? 11 pounds

Maternity clothes? I need to pick some more bottoms up but all of my 'fat' tops are fitting still.

Stretch marks? Some old ones are getting whiter. I have started moisturizing like crazy!

Sleep? Still sleeping in short stretches, but have managed to get a few 5 or 6 hour runs in.

Best moment this week? Hearing the heartbeat at the Dr's appointment. 

Miss Anything? Still missing coffee 

Movement? None yet

Food Cravings? Sour anything

Anything making you queasy or sick? It's a daily tossup between meat or veggies making me feel ill.

Have you started to show yet? Definitely

Gender? No idea yet.

Labor signs? None!

Belly Button in or out? Still in but getting really shallow!

Wedding rings on or off? Still on.

Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy and tired.

Looking forward to? Getting some of my energy back. 

13 Weeks

How Far Along? 13 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss? 8 pounds up, which is suprising considering the amount of food i'm eating!

Maternity clothes? Still loving tunics and leggings. Have given up totally on my skinny jeans- even with a Bella Band they won't stay up.

Stretch marks? None

Sleep? Still interrupted by snack time but I am able to fall back asleep really fast.

Best moment this week? Getting a pedicure and a foot massage. So good!

Miss Anything? Coffee!!!!! I can almost handle the scent of the coffee isle in the grocery store so I may be able to sip some soon!

Movement? Some little flutters but I cant tell if they are my tummy grumbling or baby moving around.

Food Cravings? Sour anything- oranges, grapefruits and sour soothers are working to eliminate them.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Sadly still coffee. I seem to be able to stomach most veggies again but am still craving meat.

Have you started to show yet? The belly is definitely sticking out, I have had strangers comment on it now so I know it's not just my imagination.

Gender? No idea but everyone keeps telling me they think it's a girl.

Labor signs? None!

Belly Button in or out? It's in.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on.

Happy or Moody most of the time? Still happy.

Looking forward to? Dr's appointment this week. They called me this week because of some test results but wouldn't tell me what test over the phone. I am trying not to worry- if it was anything really serious they would tell me over the phone or want me in sooner but it is still driving me a bit nuts.

12 weeks

Yeah! Baby post time!

How Far Along? 12 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss? Up 9 pounds

Maternity clothes? Loving leggings and tunics.

Stretch marks? None yet

Sleep? My bladder and tummy aren't letting me sleep. I feel icky if I don't eat every 4 hours, so whenever I wake up to pee I also have a snack. I am getting better at 3am quiet snack preparation.

Best moment this week? Seeing the ultrasound- the baby was squirming around and kicking. The heartbeat was also incredible!

Miss Anything? Coffee & Sushi! 

Movement? None that I can feel but the baby was squirming like mad on the screen! 

Food Cravings? Salty anything. I think I could even just eat spoonfuls of salt and be happy.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Coffee and the smell of cigarettes. 

Have you started to show yet? There is definitely a bump there, customers have started to ask me if it's a baby.

Gender? Still thinking its a girl but couldn't tell on the ultrasound.

Labor signs? None!

Belly Button in or out? It's in.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on, not spinning anymore though!

Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy when I'm not dead tired. 

Looking forward to? Sleeping for longer than 4 hours at a time (I know once I have baby that's going to be a distant memory, but I would love it right now!)

11 Weeks along

I saw this question format on Jessica's Blog and thought I would borrow it for my pregnancy. I will start with the photos soon too- I need to figure out the timer on my camera as Jon is gone in the morning before i'm dressed and by the time I get home I am too tired to pose. The shutterbug in me is going nuts with the lack of photo documentation....

How Far Along? 11 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss? 4 lbs gained
Maternity clothes? Lots of leggings and dresses, picked up maternity jeans as my normal ones dig in and make me feel kinda sick.
Stretch marks? So far no, i'm still pretty small and slathering on the cream every morning!
Sleep? I feel like I could sleep all the time. For the first time in my life I climb into bed, turn out the light and zonk out. I am usually up twice during the night to pee but fall asleep right after.
Best moment this week? Jon cooking dinner, cleaning up and taking care of the house so I can rest.
Miss Anything? Coffee. I don't function without my morning coffee (and sometimes my afternoon one!) But it's not agreeing with me right now.
Movement? None yet.
Food Cravings? Anything salty or spicy.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Coffee and lukewarm water. If I am going to drink water it has to be straight out of the fridge cold. I have been drinking tons of juice and peppermint tea so I still get enough fluids.
Have you started to show yet? I look more chubby than pregnant but there is a bit of a tummy forming.
Gender? Not sure yet.
Labor signs? None thankfully.
Belly Button in or out? Still in.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on, actually spinning around on my fingers more than normal.
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy but feeling ill and very tired.
Looking forward to? Starting my second trimester next week- hopefully more energy will come with it! Also, starting to plan the nursery out in my head.

So Tired

So do you remember last fall when we were thinking we were ready to start a family and decided that we were going to move first? Apparently the universe has decided that we have waited for long enough. I went into the doctors office to see why I was so tired and found out that there is a little one on the way!
WHOOT!!!
I am so excited, although still feeling like I got hit by a truck. I can't believe how sore and tired I have been! I am due on May 3rd so at this point I am 11 weeks. I am hoping that when I hit the second trimester I will feel better (which everyone tells me will happen)
The bump is starting to show, my skinny pants are more memory than reality and I splurged on some maternity jeans and dress pants to wear to work. It seems so strange to be happy about putting weight on. I have spent the last few years doing everything I can to get rid of it. So, for right now I need this shirt:

I will post some photos soon (once I can corner Jon into taking some) But yeah!!! Baby in May!!!
