14 weeks

So yeah... I should just give up on trying to post updates over the weekend, because I just keep failing! haha 

How far along?  14 weeks, 5 days.

Weight gain/loss:   Up 3.0 pounds (!) from last week, which puts me at exactly 2.0 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight.  FINALLY making some progress!

Maternity clothes?  Still just pants. 

Stretch marks?  Nope.

Sleep?  For some reason, I have just been exhausted again lately.  I can barely stay awake.  Also still waking up at least once per night to use the bathroom.

Best moment this week?  I am going to cheat and say "all meal times"... I FINALLY have my appetite back and can eat (almost) anything again without wanting to puke!  I also found out this week that I won't be losing my job (and health insurance!), which is a huge relief!

Food cravings:  Cheese!  Just these past few days, I have eaten cheese fries, macaroni and cheese, cheese taquitos, and toasted (cheese) raviolis.  Still can't eat chicken or beef though.

Gender:  I still say boy.  DH still thinks girl.

Belly button in or out?  In.

Movement?  I thought maybe I felt a few flutters this past week, but I'm not sure if it was Baby C or just my dinner rumbling around.  I only really notice it when I am laying down and really paying attention, and only every once in awhile.  I can't wait to start feeling some definite movements though!

What I miss?  Nothing.  :-)

What I'm looking forward to:  My next appointment (June 1st).  I'm hoping we'll finally be able to hear the heartbeat on doppler, and that we can schedule our anatomy scan! 

Milestones:  Being able to eat food again, and actually gaining some weight instead of losing it!

13 weeks

Wow! Here I go seriously slacking again. My nausea and fatigue have been back in big way these past few days, so literally all I've been doing is waking up, going to work, coming home, and falling asleep. I feel so lame, but obviously Baby C needs more energy than I have to give! haha

How far along?  13 weeks, 4 days.

Weight gain/loss:   Down another 0.2 pounds.  Darn you morning (all-day) sickness!

Maternity clothes?  Still just pants. 

Stretch marks?  Nope.

Sleep?  I've been getting tons lately.  Still waking up at least once in the middle of the night though.  And these past few nights, I haven't even needed to use the restroom... I just wake up for no reason. 

Best moment this week?  Wearing the above-pictured shirt to work, and NOT worrying about hiding my bump.  :-)

Food cravings:  I've been feeling pretty sick again these past few days, so more Ramen, peas, and fruit.  The only other things I have really wanted to eat are greasy/cheesy things.  I've eaten fried cheese curds (found in the grocery store freezer, YUM!) for dinner the past few nights, because I just couldn't stomach anything else.

Gender:  I still say boy.  DH still thinks girl.

Belly button in or out?  In.

Movement?  Still too early.  Although I'm REALLY hoping I will start feeling some flutters soon! 

What I miss?  Nothing.  :-)

What I'm looking forward to:  Feeling movement (I know it may still be a few more weeks), and hearing Baby C's heartbeat on the doppler at my next appointment.

Milestones:  Nothing new that I can think of this week... I still can't believe I'm in my second trimester!

12 weeks!

Wow, I am such a slacker!  I really meant to get this post up over the weekend, but we were super busy.  I was also feeling amazing puke-wise (finally!) and didn't want to waste it, so we did a lot of running around this weekend.  Which was great for me, but not so great for the blog!

And now, for your viewing pleasure... a bare belly shot!  I just decided it might be neat to have one from the end of my first, second, and third trimesters so I can see how much I've grown.

How far along?  12 weeks, 3 days.

Weight gain/loss:   According to my home scale, up 0.4 pounds from last week, which puts me at 0.8 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight.  However, according to my doctor's office scale yesterday, I have lost another entire pound!  (I'm sure this will change now that my appetite is finally coming back.)

Maternity clothes?  Still just pants. 

Stretch marks?  Nope.

Sleep?  I've actually woken up 1-2 times per night this entire past week to pee.  It is kind of annoying, because each time I get up I am wide awake for at least an hour afterward!  Thankfully, I am also feeling less fatigued now, so this hasn't affected me too much.  And I suppose it is also good practice for down the road.  ;-)

Best moment this week?  Announcing this pregnancy to the rest of our friends, family, and the world!  It was so fun and exciting to see everyone's reactions.

Food cravings:  Ramen noodles and peas... sometimes mixed together, sometimes separately (but eaten in the same sitting).  Also, I have developed a major aversion to the texture of chicken.  Even now that I am no longer nauseous, trying to chew it makes me gag.

Gender:  I still say boy.  DH still thinks girl.

Belly button in or out?  In.

Movement?  Still way too early.

What I miss?  Nothing at all this week!

What I'm looking forward to:  Not having to try and hide my growing belly anymore.   I also look forward to the day when I actually start to look pregnant instead of just bloated and fat.  haha

Milestones:  Reaching the end of the first trimester!

Hilarious video

I was randomly looking at stuff on the internet, one thing led to another (you know how that goes!), and I landed on this video rant about baby names. HILARIOUS! I encourage you all to check it out. ;-)
