16 Week Update

Jordan (who draws my board) has been working a lot, hence why I post every 2 weeks instead of weekly. This week I've seen him a total of 6 hours - so I edited the board myself...and it shows, haha! We'll spruce it up soon, promise!

How Far Along:  16 weeks (4 whole months)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 10 lbs - waaaa. Started Crossfit and it sucks just as much as it did pre-pregnancy.

Maternity Clothes: Bought a bunch of maternity clothes last week and I am so HAPPY! I was walking around with my pants unbuttoned for a whole month. Maternity jeans are sent from Heaven. 

Stretch Marks: Nope. Slathering my Tummy Butter twice a day and trying not to scratch when my belly itches.

Sleep: I have started waking up for a few minutes once or twice a night, but fall right back asleep. Getting up in the mornings has become tough again, though.

Best Moment This Week: Going for my 15 week ultrasound, confirming that baby has boy's parts (!!), and seeing him opening and closing his mouth <3

Miss Anything? Wine, cocktails, beer, and sushi. I'm allowing myself that one cup of coffee a day. I can't do without caffeine...not while being a teacher!

Movement This Week: I feel like I have been feeling movement...but I'm tired of hearing that it's gas, so I keep it mostly to myself. I'll report back when I feel him using my bladder as a trampoline.

Food Cravings: None.

Anything Make You Queasy or Sick: Thankfully, no.

Have You Started to Show Yet: See photo above.

Gender: B-o-y!

Symptoms: A few little breakouts. Some times I feel a tiny wave of nausea, but it never gets terrible. I have been feeling little aches, but nothing to complain much about.

Labor Signs: NO...and let's keep it that way for a long time ;)

Belly Button IN or OUT: In.

                                                   

Wedding Rings ON or OFF: On. :)

Looking Forward To: My next ultrasound in 4 weeks <3

14 Week Update

How Far Along:  14 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Probably 8 lbs. Starting Crossfit again this week.

Maternity Clothes: A few pieces, just because buttoning my pants just doesn't feel comfortable anymore.

Stretch Marks: Nope. Slathering my Tummy Butter from head to toe!

Sleep: Sleeping like a rock!

Best Moment This Week: Getting good news in our house hunt search.

Miss Anything? Wine, cocktails, beer, and caffeine. Just being honest.                                         

Movement This Week: Nothing yet. I can’t wait to start feeling movement, though!

Food Cravings: Still haven't really had any. 

Anything Make You Queasy or Sick: Thankfully, no.

Have You Started to Show Yet: A little. I feel like it pops out more at night. Mostly I just feel fat...ha!

Gender: B-o-y!

Symptoms: A few little breakouts, but otherwise, nothing!

Labor Signs: NO...and let's keep it that way for a long time ;)

Belly Button IN or OUT: In.

                                                   

Wedding Rings ON or OFF: On. :)

Looking Forward To: My next appointment, on September 3rd.

13th Week Update!

We are in the middle of moving - so packing, navigating through teaching high school for the first time, and my second job have all consumed me. Without further delay...the 13 week update!!

How Far Along:  13 weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Probably 8 lbs. Definitely going back to Crossfit this week. Not off to a good start.

Maternity Clothes: A few pieces, just because buttoning my pants just doesn't feel comfortable anymore.

Stretch Marks: Nope. 

Sleep: I have been sleeping primarily on my side and back, and have been sleeping well…except for the fact that I wake up in the middle of the night, every night, to pee. 

Best Moment This Week: Finding out Baby E is a boy! I still can't believe it. I feel like I need it confirmed.

Miss Anything? Wine, cocktails, beer, and caffeine. Just being honest.                                         

Movement This Week: Nothing yet. I can’t wait to start feeling movement, though!

Food Cravings: Haven't really had any. 

Anything Make You Queasy or Sick: Thankfully, no.

Have You Started to Show Yet: A little. I feel like it pops out more at night. Mostly I just feel fat...ha!

Gender: B-o-y!

Symptoms: Had one night last week where I got sick in the middle of the night out of nowhere. Feeling a little hormonal - but having to move and pack up your life into cardboard boxes is enough to stress anyone out, pregnant or not. Very emotional weekend.

Labor Signs: NO...and let's keep it that way for a long time ;)

Belly Button IN or OUT: In.

                                                   

Wedding Rings ON or OFF: On. :)

Looking Forward To: My next vacation. Rough week, yo.
