18 Weeks! Baby is a......



How far along? 18 weeks! Baby is  the size of a sweet potato!
Total weight gain/loss: no idea... will find out in a week and a half! 
Maternity clothes? Maternity jeans when I wear them, which isn't often because I get really uncomfortable.
Stretch marks? None yet, but LOTS of itching on my stomach. Trying to be better about lathering up and drinking lots of water!
Sleep: Sleeping great....and just fine with going to bed before 9:30 every night :)
Best moment this week?: Finding out we're having us a little baby BOY! and seeing him wiggling and flipping around on the ultrasound. He's crazy already!
Miss Anything? Not this week
Movement: a few flutters, but nothing very noticeable
Food cravings: soft serve ice cream! and fruit
Anything making you queasy or sick: Buffalo sauce and spicy things are not sitting well with me at all lately... Also, brushing my teeth has been making me gag for weeks.
Have you started to show yet: Definitely have a little belly that I cannot suck in, now...I'll know I'm really showing when I stranger asks me when I'm due.. That will be fun!
Gender: A perfect, sweet, healthy baby BOY! We are still in shock and can't believe we'll have a  boy soon. Cliff will no longer be outnumbered! 
Labor Signs: oh no... It will be so crazy when this answer is yes! I hope not for a good, long while. 
Belly Button in or out? In...but already getting more shallow. 
Wedding rings on or off? On and loose
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happiest I have ever been!
Looking forward to: Our next doctor appointment/anatomy scan and getting our baby boy's room together...registering!

17 week Bumpdate!




How far along? 17 weeks! Baby is the size of an onion or a pomegranate! :)
Total weight gain/loss: Probably still around 3 lbs
Maternity clothes? Still just some maternity jeans, but I try not to wear jeans if I don't have to. I start getting really uncomfortable in them, really fast.
Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep: Sleeping great....I do wake up really early but I'm sure that's from going to bed so early. 
Best moment this week?: Getting everything together for our gender reveal THIS weekend!...Whaaaaat?! And getting the results from our quad screen back... It was negative! yay!
Miss Anything? Missing not worrying about every.little.thing. But, I don't see that stopping.....ever.
Movement: I've thought I felt a few things, but it was very faint and It could have been anything. I'm excited for when they get more prominent! My stomach does get lopsided already, though! I can definitely tell when the baby is on one side or another. I didn't think that would happen so soon! 
Food cravings: Grits with butter
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week!
Have you started to show yet: Definitely have a little belly that I cannot suck in, now. 
Gender prediction: I have no clue anymore. I'm second guessing myself all the time now. I feel like both Cliff and I still think girl. I guess we will see in just 5 days! 
Labor Signs: oh no... It will be so crazy when this answer is yes! I hope not for a good, long while. 
Belly Button in or out? In...but already getting more shallow. 
Wedding rings on or off? On and loose
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Gender reveal! And seeing our sweet baby on Ultrasound on the 23rd! Being able to buy things and get the nursery ready once we know what the baby is. SO exciting!

Bump-date 16 weeks!



How far along? 16 freakin' weeks! So crazy! I feel like i'm officially out of the early pregnancy stage. Just 4 more weeks until halfway...that just blows my mind.
Total weight gain/loss: up 3.2 pounds since my first dr. appointment! 
Maternity clothes? I've been wearing maternity jeans because my other ones are too tight, but the maternity ones are way too big in the waist so i've just been belting them! I'm sure it won't be long until they fit better, though ;)
Stretch marks? None yet!
Sleep: Sleeping great and the getting up to pee a million times has tapered off. I have slept all the way through the night the past 2 nights. Yay!
Best moment this week?: Our Dr. appointment and getting a 64gb iPhone 6... I think i'll probably be needing the extra storage for all the baby pictures coming up! :) Also finding 2 potential dresses for our gender reveal! Now to decide on the pink one or the blue one.....
Miss Anything? Starting to miss being able to have a few drinks during football games, but i'll just have to find something else to occupy my time :) like eating! 
Movement: None yet! My doctor asked me if I have felt anything yet, so that must mean I will soon! so exciting.
Food cravings: Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate from Dunkin' Donuts. yum! 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week!
Have you started to show yet: Definitely have a little belly that I cannot suck in, now. 
Gender prediction: I'm still girl, but could definitely see it being a boy, too. It's so hard to pick! 
Labor Signs: oh no... It will be so crazy when this answer is yes! I hope not for a good, long while. 
Belly Button in or out? In...but already getting more shallow. 
Wedding rings on or off? On and loose
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Gender reveal! And seeing our sweet baby on Ultrasound on the 23rd! I can't wait to see how much they've grown! Also, getting some test results back from my quad screening. I'm hoping everything comes back with an excellent report!

Bumpdate 15 weeks!



How far along? 15 weeks! Baby is the size of a Haas Avocado or an apple :) I can't believe we are this close to 16 weeks! That just sounds so pregnant to me for some reason. Such a big milestone! 
Total weight gain/loss: not sure and I probably won't know until September 11th at my doctor appointment! I don't weight myself at home and don't trust the scales at work :)
Maternity clothes? I've bought a few staple pieces, but don't need them just yet. I am looking for some bigger bras today, though because these girls are out.of.control.
Stretch marks? None- lathering up!
Sleep: Sleeping great aside from getting up 287836 times a night to pee. I thought that didn't start until much later. I was wrong!
Best moment this week?: Buying some cute fall clothes and getting really excited for legging season! Stretchy pants for life. 
Miss Anything? Nothing noticeable really. Maybe just being able to do things without thinking about if it's okay or not. Also not sneezing a million times a day. I'm not sure if that's a pregnancy thing or not but its definitely not a norm for me.
Movement: None yet! My apps say I should maybe start feeling some within the next 3ish weeks or so. So exciting!
Food cravings: I became really excited about attending 2 birthday parties this weekend.....because cake and ice cream. It did not disappoint! 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week! Thank goodness! I was picking a rotisserie chicken last night to make soup for my sick husband :( and the chicken really started to gross me out. But I ate the soup just fine
Have you started to show yet: I feel like I definitely have started to! The people that see me everyday are starting to notice. I think random people probably just think I have zero abdominal muscles and indulge in one too many cupcakes. 
Gender prediction: It has been girl this whole time, but as our gender reveal gets closer I am starting to second guess myself. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have either so I just can't decide which would be more fun.
Labor Signs: oh no... It will be so crazy when this answer is yes! I hope not for a good, long while. 
Belly Button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Gender reveal! And seeing our sweet baby on Ultrasound on the 23rd! I can't wait to see how much they've grown!
