14 Weeks

How far along? 14 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Um...good question, I think the scale is broken! And I didn't break it...in case you are wondering.
Maternity Clothes? Just the Be Band but it is pretty much a necessity
Sleep: I had a couple of bad nights this week, no good sleep and bad dreams don't help the situation. On the plus side I seem to have stopped peeing 5 times a night and am down to like three.
Symptoms: Still gagging, but my energy has returned somewhat, and I think I am going to make it another couple of months! JK
Best moment this week: Not really a moment but it has been great to start feeling better.
Movement: None yet but I am starting to watch out for it even though I know it is still to early. Every time I think I feel it I end up passing gas! Haha
Food Craving: Sushi still...so weird, and cheese cake (bad very bad!)
Gender: Girl...maybe...
Labor Signs: Still locked down tight :)
Belly button in or out: In in, in.
What I miss: My girlie figure, my curves are starting to fill in.
What I am looking forward to: Feeling the baby move.
Weekly Wisdom: You really do start to feel better in the second trimester, sometimes it just takes awhile.
Milestones: Not puking for a whole week...and gagging over the kitchen sink doesn't count as puking!

Love at First Sight

I found these prints awhile ago and just rediscovered them in a favorites list on one of the computers at work. They are by the artist Noel Young were done for a children's line at Hagge and West. I am in love with them and think they would be perfect to have in our nursery. Amazingly enough they really aren't that expensive!

Um really?!?

Follows Pregnancy Complaint #429:

My hip, note 1 hip, the left hip is KILLING me. I have always had back problems off and on and a couple of trips to the chiropractor have always seemed to help. My back started really bugging me on Saturday after I shoveled snow (I know, what was I thinking, right?). Then last night I wake up to go to the bathroom for the 149th time, and I literally cannot put any pressure on my hip... Awesome! I *think* that this is something to do with the joints relaxing and the hips widening (which is just what I need) during pregnancy. I just thought that it would be you know in like the third trimester when the baby is big and sitting on the hips.

It feels better now that I have been walking around all day, and if it doesn't feel better in a couple of days I will probably go into the chiropractor and get adjusted, which hopefully will help.

Pregnancy Complaint #429 over.

Nusery

Oh my goodness...I LOVE this nursery! It was posted on the blog Spearmint Baby. It is probably the first picture of a nursery that I have found that I really love. The blog states that it is for a girl but I think with a couple of changes it could go for a boy as well. Now If I could only find the lamp shade and the bedding for cheaper than $300, which seems to be the running price for cute baby bedding these days I would be a very satisfied woman!

13 Weeks and 1 Day Survey

I feel like I just wrote one of these so their is not much to say. Don't mind the messy house in the back of the picture. We are decorating for Christmas this weekend, so there is empty boxes everywhere.

How far along? 13weeks 1 days
Total weight gain/loss: Still just up 2
Maternity Clothes? The Be Band, but I am needing it almost everyday by the afternoon. I am thinking that a pair of maternity pants might be in order soon. The Be Band is starting to drive me crazy!
Sleep: Between the crazy dreams and the peeing 4 times a night I am actually still sleeping pretty good. I am still tired enough that I am in bed by 8 almost every night.
Symptoms: I am feeling better but the gagging and nauseousness are still there. For some reason I thought that I the symptoms would magically disappear. Silly me!
Best moment this week: Getting our Christmas tree!
Movement: None yet!
Food Craving: Red meat/
Gender: Who knows!
Labor Signs: Still locked down tight :)
Belly button in or out: In in, in.
What I miss: A glass of red wine with my steak.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing my sister at the end of the week.
Weekly Wisdom: I am wisdom less today.
Milestones: Hitting 13 weeks.

12 Week Survey

So according to our ultrasound yesterday, the baby is measuring 12 weeks and 4 days today. This means that I will probably do another survey on Friday for 13 weeks so that we can keep all caught up and stuff!



How far along? 12 weeks 4 days
Total weight gain/loss: +2
Maternity Clothes? Just the Be Band every once and awhile still.
Sleep: Peeing a lot but I always fall right back asleep.
Symptoms: Still pretty much all of them, even though the good days are better but the bad days seem worse. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they really start to phase out in the next couple of weeks.
Best moment this week: Getting to see the baby in a surprise ultrasound. I think it was the moment that I really started to fall in love with our baby.
Movement: A ton in the ultrasound!
Food Craving: Mexican, good thing I have a whole pan of yummy enchiladas.
Gender: I am now going back and forth between boy and girl, but still leaning toward boy.
Labor Signs: Still locked down tight :)
Belly button in or out: In in, in.
What I miss: Having energy to stay up past 8pm.
What I am looking forward to: The holiday season!
Weekly Wisdom: Try to get an early ultrasound, seeing the baby really makes things real in a good way.
Milestones: Seeing the baby moving around of course!
