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!

9 Week Survey...

How far along? 9 weeks 5 days

Total weight gain/loss: 0 pounds - back to pre-pregnancy weight

Maternity clothes? Pants are still tight. I can actually feel a little bump starting to form!

Stretch marks? Not yet!!

Sleep: It is sew gooood! But I'm stinkin' tired ALL THE TIME! Sleep really doesn't satisify the exhaustion - it is so weird! A friend told me today that when you are growing a baby, you are doing more work when you are lying down than you would be doing climbing a mountain! No wonder I'm so tired!!!

Best moment this week: Seeing our little sweet pea dance around on the ultrasound! It was absolutely amazing to see a complete human that is no bigger than an inch long saying hi to mommy and daddy for the first time!!!

Movement: I can't feel it yet, but that baby is doing the macarena inside me!!!

Food cravings: Food is still pretty gross, but getting a littel better. I could eat frozen grapes all day long, though!

Gender prediction: who in the world knows?!?! Some days I think it is a boy some days I think it is a girl!

Labor Signs: thank goodness no :)

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

Weekly Wisdom: Start planning now as far as what we will need to get: nursery stuff, feeding stuff, clothing, etc. SO MUCH STUFF!

Milestones: 1. Seeing our precious little one for the first time! 2. Having a Due Date given by the nurse - February 29th -Leap Year Day! 3. And looking at nursery bedding and dreaming about what we will have - boy or a girl?

My OB appointment is on Thursday. This is so amazing! I can't wait to see all that will come to be!

8 Week Survey

A friend of mine did this through her pregnancy, and I wanted to keep up with all the fun of our pregnancy, too! So... here it goes..

How far along? 8 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: -3 pounds (due to horrible morning sickness!)

Maternity clothes? Not yet, but my pants are getting a tad tighter. I bought a beautiful dress from Mimi Maternity, and a cute sweater from Old Navy. Can't wait to wear them!

Stretch marks? Not yet

Sleep: I get pretty tired around 8:30, but try to stay awake until 10 so that I will sleep through the night. However, for the past few nights, I've had to wake up around 3-4AM in order to eat something so I won't be sick in the AM!

Best moment this week: Waking up on Tuesday AM, and realizing I had slept through the night!!! Also, having Brooke come over and helping me clean my house b/f we go out of town!

Movement: not yet

Food cravings: more like food aversions!!! I can hardly figure out what to eat b/c everything sounds disgusting - esp meat of any type!

Gender prediction: girl but only by a teeny tiny bit. I had a dream last night that the baby was a girl.

Labor Signs: thank goodness no :)
