Movement: Not yet!
Food cravings: I've been craving sausage biscuits, but I think I got my fix after eating a few over the last week. I still want salads and after watching Get the Gringo last night I'm craving Mexican food.

Have you started to show yet: My pooch is a little bigger!
Gender prediction: No idea.

Miss Anything? I had a sip of Ryan's Dr. Pepper the other morning so I feel pretty satisfied! :) I am missing my own home right now. Baby J got some Christmas presents and mommy has bought a few gender neutral things so I'm ready to have a place for baby's stuff.

How far along? 12 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: I'll find out a more accurate number Thursday when I go back to the doctor.
Maternity clothes? Yes...still wearing my leggings and "early" maternity jeans!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleep has been better the last week.
Best moment this week: Not getting sick and making homemade chicken and dumplings for the first time! Gotta learn how to cook for my little family. :)
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? I really wanted some wine at the ugly sweater party this weekend, but I'm happy just the way I am! :)

Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I was super emotional yesterday, but today was much better!
Looking forward to: My doctor appointment Thursday. I hope the doppler picks up the little heartbeat! All will be right in the world when I hear that noise. I am also getting anxious about finding out the gender. Although we aren't doing bloodwork to find out early, I should find out February 11th. I can't wait to know who is growing inside of me!


And a little humor for those who know me and my wardrobe lately...


I pretty much only wear black leggings these days and look out if they are dirty! ;)

11 Week Update!

How far along? 11 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: I weighed myself the other day, but I can't remember how much I weighed! :)
Maternity clothes? I finally bought some maternity clothes. Most importantly, the best "early" maternity jeans. I love them! They are still a little big, but I had to get a size Med! Way to make a pregnant lady feel good! :)
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good. I keep waking up at 3 something in the morning and have a hard time falling back asleep. It throws me off by the time it's time to get up for work.
Best moment this week: The acupuncture appointment that saved me! My last session started wearing off this past Thursday and by Sunday I was throwing up like crazy again!
Have you told family and friends: Yes! A few more people have been told this week! :)
Miss Anything? I really want a good fountain coke, but the caffeine free coke tastes amazing!
Movement: Not yet!
Food cravings: I am not really craving anything in particular, just hungry all the time. I just ate 4 slices of pizza and my stomach feels like it's growling again!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really! This acupuncture is a life saver!
Have you started to show yet: Ryan told me that my stomach is looking a little bigger. A few days earlier he had said it wasn't, but he admitted that he just wanted to make me feel better.
Gender prediction: I'm still thinking girl, but who really knows!!!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I have been feeling mostly happy with a little bitchiness thrown in here and there. ;) All the important health-related decisions make me a little crazy! I just want to make the best decision for our little one!
Looking forward to: My doctor appointment next week! Who doesn't want to hear that little heartbeat? It will make me so happy! :) I'm also looking forward to our slab being poured Friday! (yay!) They have been busting their butts on our house this week and I'm really excited. I would love to be able to bring this baby home to OUR new home!
