14 Week Update...

How far along? 14 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Yikes! I'm in denial! I think like 7 lbs! My goal for this pregnancy is 30 lbs. So, with that said, I have 26 weeks left... Even if I gain a pound a week, I'm over - oh no! Well, I guess thats not too bad. i will be at 33 pounds gained. But this will motivate me to start walking more!

Maternity clothes? Completely! They are in full swing. I cleaned out my closet and stored the clothes that I can't wear for a while.

Stretch marks? I found a couple of white ones on my right hip! I lotion up all the time! Maybe they won't get too bad... at least I hope I don't get the purple ones.

Sleep: It is getting a little better. I only got up once in the middle of the night last night! That is very good!

Best moment this week: Feeling the baby move!

Worst moment this week: Gagging all day long. Nothing comes up, but I will randomly gag - especially about 10 minutes after eating. So weird and quiet annoying!

Movement: Well, I've been feeling little flutter on and off, but I can say that I really think I felt the baby move last night after I got up and went to the potty. I came back and laid down and I just felt these bubbles/flutter over and over again in the same spot. I really think it was the baby.

Food cravings: Not so much. I've become a very picky eater!

Gender prediction: I still say girl. Chris still says boy. We could possibly find out next week!!!! Especially if it is a boy!

Labor Signs: thank goodness no :)

Belly Button in or out? Still in, but becoming more shallow. :-)

Wedding rings on or off? Still on, but on certain days I have to take off my engagement ring b/c it gets too tight. It is a little smaller than my wedding band.

Weekly Wisdom: Clean out things now while you have the time! Get other rooms ready and get rid of junk!

Milestones: 1. Feeling the baby move!

Looking forward to next week: Hearing the heart beat! Meeting a midwife. Seeing the baby again! Possibly finding out if it is a girl or boy!!!

12 Week Survey... (well almost)

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was out of town in NC visiting mom and nancy (sister). Didn't have any time to update so... here it goes...

How far along? 11 Weeks 5 days

Total weight gain/loss: Don't know... haven't weighed in a while... and I'm certainly not weighing at 9:42 at night - after eating a cupcake. Mmmmmm.... :-)

Maternity clothes? I wore my first maternity dress on Sunday. I just feel more comfy in maternity clothes. However, I still try to wear my regular shorts (which I can't button,but I use a rubberband on to hold them together) because it is so hot right now. I don't want to buy any shorts b/c the majority of my preggy stage will be in the winter.

Stretch marks? Not yet!! Hopefully not at all - my mom or aunt didn't get them!

Sleep:Well, it is too hot to enjoy sleep. I've turned the a/c down to as low as Chris will let me. I can not wait until it is winter! Right now I don't think I will turn on the heat until the baby arrives! I feel so much better when it is cold!

Best moment this week: Buying maternity clothes with mom last week. I've got some really cute pieces that will last me through the winter. Also, a friend of mine gave me her maternity clothes, so I feel like I've gotten a new wardrobe! That's fun!

Movement: Not yet, but hopefullly soon! Maybe a month or so b/f I can feel him/her!

Food cravings: Food is getting better. Nothing is great to me, except for that cupcake I ate a few minutes ago. That was delish! After I eat, I get this wretched taste in my mouth, though. I have to go brush my teeth or the taste alone will make me get nauseous.

Gender prediction: I've had some dreams that it is a girl. I'm so curious to find out!

Labor Signs: thank goodness no :)

Belly Button in or out? still in But my tummy is starting to round out. I spent the last week with Nancy, and she pointed out that my tummy was so tight and didn't have any wrinkles or rolls in it when I sat down. I hadn't noticed - i just felt fat, but it did make it seem a little more real. I can tell my tummy has grown more this week.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on....

Weekly Wisdom: Drink water as much as possible! and enjoy this time with family. It hits me every now and then - our family is going to change big time in 6 months!

Milestones: 1. Going to Babies R Us with Mom and starting to plan what we will need. 2. Talking Chris into finding out the sex of the baby! I'm dying to know!
