13 weeks

 

Size of Baby:  according to baby center my  baby is almost 3 inches long the size of a medium shrimp and weighs nearly an ounce

Total Weight Gain/Loss:  well probably a lot since we just had Christmas and I ate for 3 days straight. I will know on Dec 12th

Maternity Clothes: one pair of jeans that I got from Belk and I love them! they even have cute butt pockets..as if I need to draw attention there :/

Gender: We don’t get to pick! We are not going to find out until he/she arrives! We are working on picking out a name for a boy and a girl and man that’s hard!

Belly Button In/Out: Still in

Stretch Marks:  yeap…but they are leftovers

Movement: tiny flutters … not often I am ready for some bigger kicks!

Sleep: good until I have to potty!

What I miss: DIET MT DEW!!!

What I am looking forward to: a new year!  2011 wasn’t bad but after all this is the year our family becomes 4!!

Cravings/Aversions: strange as it may be  I REALLY want some fried shrimp with lots of lemon juice squeezed on it!

Symptoms: Tired, Hungry, NAUSEAS and VERY MOOODY, BUT I think the nauseas-ness is getting better fingers crossed.

Best Moment This Week: spending time with my family! God has blessed me with a husband that I know he created just for me, not only that but a sweet baby boy that couldn’t make us more proud to be his parents! I am trying to soak up my family as 3 before new baby becomes because to be honest I cant remember much of what we did with our time before Nate came along and I REALLY want to remember Nate’s only child time!

Oh and I may start belly pictures soon

Happy Birthday Jesus~!!

Santa came and this is exactly the reaction we were looking for… made my day!

Best Moment This Week: I  was driving minding my own in the left lane when the girl in the right was not paying attention and the car in front of her slowed down, so she ended up rear ending them only to swerve and hit my car… I know it says best moment let me explain… out of that I got an ultrasound and got to see this sweet bambino growing inside of me! It was so cute measuring 5 days further than I am supposed to be and heart just a beating away at 161 bpm! I am so in love with this baby already!

Best Moment This Week: Making time for naps that were MUCH needed!

I wont start pictures yet right now I just look fat and that’s not fun… Just a friendly Public Service Announcement….. When you ask someone there due date and your response is ARE YOU SURE as your eyes BULDGE out of their sockets IS NOT A COMPLEMENT  oh also Are you sure there is just one in there is just a dumb question… don’t you think the ultrasound would have shown two by this point? 

Have a good weekend!

Oh yea Ah HEM…. and

see this?

This is a kumquat ..as if you didn’t know. Well what you may not know is there is a baby in my tummy about that size. (awe, yay, hip hip hooray clap clap clap) We are so excited to announce Nate will be a big brother on or around July 5th!! I am 10 weeks pregnant and feeling every bit pregnant. When I was pregnant with Nate my most dominate symptom was headaches!! I remember thinking if I could just lay in a dark quiet room the rest of my pregnancy I MAY can handle this, keep in mind that was before 12weeks because  remember having to hide it that my head hurt because we hadn't shared the news yet…

THIS time lots of things are different, I am usually fine until about 2:00 in the afternoon  after that I stay pretty nauseas, Also this time I have had a lot more gas EWW but really I will just burp out of no where  it is so gross! EXAUSTION is an understatement as well as MOODY … sorry Shane But I am not complaining yet ha-ha, I don’t go back to the doctor until Jan for another checkup. This time around Shane and I have decided not to find out the sex of the baby until it is born…. how fun will that be!! Everyone is not a fan of the idea but when they have kids they don’t have to wait to find out if they don’t want to but we do!  BUT for anyone who wants to guess the sex of the baby the heart rate was 171 at our first ultrasound! Nate's was 167 at his first ultrasound.
