16 Weeks!

How far along? 16 weeks and 5 days
Total weight gain/loss: OMG. I REALLY don't want to talk about it. =( I am so sad. I got on the scale yesterday and am up 11 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the heck happened?????
Maternity clothes? Yes, BUT I wore my favorite pre-pregnancy Seven's this past Sunday and they were just fine. I had a little muffin top, but oh well.
Sleep: Horrible. No matter what time I go to bed at night I still wake up a few times a night. It's awful. Last night I woke up around 3am and thought I heard something so I woke up the husband to check things out. All was okay of course. There have been some break-in's around our area so I have been a little freaked out. So much so that I talked the husband into getting an alarm system. I have been wanting one for awhile now, I think I will just feel safer especially since the babies room is on the other side of the darn house!
Best moment this week: Picking out the furniture, stroller and buying little boy clothes. We are having so much fun talking about our son.
Movement: I started feeling him off and on. Not as often as I would like though!
Food cravings: Red vines. It's a horrible addiction and I think they may have something to do with those 11 pounds I have packed on.
Gender: BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Belly Button in or out? Still the same.
What I miss: Sleep. I know, I know, this is only just going to get worse when he is here, but I will happily get up to take care of my little man. Right now it's just pointless!

It's a.....

Wow...I'm going to have a baby BOY!!!!!!!! It was amazing. I was actually nervous right before we went for some reason. I starting crying! I was going to find out if the little one in my belly was a boy, or a girl! She found his little pecker right away. I almost didn't know how to react. I had already guessed and knew it was a boy from the very beginning, but seeing it was a whole different thing. I had tears, but I didn't want to cry because I didn't want to miss anything! The husband was the same way. He had the BIGGEST smile on his face, it was the cutest thing I have ever seen (besides my little boy in my belly). We are SOOOOOO happy!!!!!!

Tomorrow is the big day!!

We will find out if this little one in my belly is a girl or a boy!! We are so excited! I decided to take the day off of work. I am too excited and wouldn't be able to concentrate and I have a personal holiday, so why not?! That will give me a chance to relax in the morning and then drive out there with the hubby. I can't believe it's tomorrow. Will it be Madelyn or Jacob?! I will tell you on Friday!

Back from Granbury and 15 weeks (and a belly pic!)

I just got back last night from a conference in Granbury. It's about a four and a half hour drive. ICK! The conference was good though. I am such a homebody that I just wanted to be home though. Pregnancy has made it much worse too.

How far along? 15 weeks today!
Total weight gain/loss: I don't like talking about it. I have been making very poor food decisions since I was away at the conference (fast food, and icky conference food)
Maternity clothes? Yes!
Sleep: Sleep sucks. My dreams end up waking me up a few times a night. Last night I was with Jack Black. As in we were together! WTF?! Where the hell did that come from?
Best moment this week: Making our appointment to find out what we are having!
Movement: I'm still thinking what I am feeling is gas.
Food cravings: Still fruit!
Gender: I keep going back and forth. We can't wait to find out!
Labor Signs: NO!
Belly Button in or out? Still the same.
What I miss: Nothing.

This is a HORRIBLE picture of me at work, but you get the idea! Here's the bump as of today!

My Husband

He is amazing. It's so cute how excited he is about this baby in my tummy. I was showing him all the stuff we have so far and when he saw a couple of the onsies he said, "I want a baby in there!" It was so cute because that's how I feel! I know I need to enjoy this pregnancy, but I am already to ready for this little one to be here.

While lying in bed last night I mentioned to him that I think the little one is growing because my stomach was cramping and he said, "the next pregnancy will be easier." haha. Um, what? He then said he would like to have another one in about a year and a half. He makes my heart swoon. The fact that he is so excited by this little one and the future makes my heart melt.

I love him.

14 Weeks!

How far along? 14 weeks today!
Total weight gain/loss: I went to the doctor today. I am up 3 pounds since I was 10 weeks. ACK! I think I was up a total of 5 pounds in my first trimester.
Maternity clothes? Yep. Although today I have on a non-maternity dress and pantyhose.
Sleep: I totally jinxed myself. The last two nights have been horrible. I am exhausted when I get home from work and end up falling asleep super early and then wake up all night. Ick.
Best moment this week: The doctor telling me everything looks fantastic!
Movement: Not yet.
Food cravings: Still fruit!
Gender: I keep going back and forth. We can't wait to find out!
Labor Signs: NO!
Belly Button in or out? Still the same.
What I miss: Nothing.
Weekly Wisdom: Don't fall asleep at 7pm. ha.

Boy or Girl?

We will find out in 23 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, let's hope the little one cooperates with us! The husbands birthday is on the 28th and then on the 29th, we go in the morning for the sonogram!

I'm back!!!! 12-13 Weeks!

I am back! Phew, what an insane last couple of weeks. We got in late late late Saturday night. Well, technically, it was Sunday morning!

Our trip was amazing, but exhausting. I have tons of pictures that I need to upload this weekend. I have a business trip to Granbury, Texas next week - yippie (note sarcasm). Once I get the pictures up (I swear this time I will actually do it - I still can't believe I never uploaded my honeymoon pictures!) I will post about our trip.

How far along? 13 weeks and 5 days already!
Total weight gain/loss: I don't want to talk about it. I'm a fatty.
Maternity clothes? Pretty much all I am wearing. I have on pre-pregnancy work pants, but with the bella band. I can almost wear a few jeans, but they are pretty snug. I cleaned out my closet and got rid of all the things I knew I couldn't fit in. My poor closet is bare now. I went on a major maternity clothes shopping spree while in California, so that should help me get by for awhile.
Sleep: Great *knock on wood* The last two nights I slept right up until my alarm went off and didn't even get up to use the restroom! It's soooo nice. I am going to bed a lot later now though, so that could have everything to do with it. I finally feel like I have my energy back!
Best moment this week: Feeling great!! Not getting sick and no longer tired as much. It's amazing. Oh, and getting to our second trimester - woot woot!
Movement: There have been a few times when I thought I felt something, but I am sure it was just gas.
Food cravings: Fruit!
Gender: Still thinking it is a boy. I called yesterday to make our appointment for the beginning of next month to find out. We can't wait.
Labor Signs: NO!
Belly Button in or out? Still the same.
What I miss: Honestly? Nothing really. When I was in California I was missing being able to hang out and drink with everyone, but that went away quickly.
Weekly Wisdom: What they say about the second trimester is true! *knocking on wood again and again*
