18 Week Update!

How far along? 18 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I was 189 at my 16w3d appointment.
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I am finally getting used to sleeping on my side so I'm getting better sleep. 
Best moment this week: I'm pretty sure that fluttering I was feeling was just gas! :) The best and not best moment this week was two people telling my I don't even look pregnant and then the HEB cashier telling me I look miserable after asking how much longer I have to go...um, I guess I need to wear makeup while I'm pregnant so I don't look totally horrible! Ryan also picked up our two dressers we had painted today so I can start organizing baby's things!
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Not really!
Movement: Not sure!
Food cravings: In the last two weeks I've moved from veggie sandwiches to McDonald's french fries and a small coke. Yes, I've splurged on regular soda a few times. I know I'm not the only one!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Greasy food is still making me feel blah. Although the McDonald's french fries don't do that to me! ;) I ate a breakfast taco and the bacon made me feel yucky, my seasoned fries made me feel sick and some fried chicken made me want to puke. I guess this is a good thing!
Have you started to show yet: According to some, but others don't see it...just depends on what I'm wearing.
Gender prediction: Girl
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I've still been a little moody, but overall I'm happy most of the time.
Looking forward to: We have our anatomy scan on February 5th and I can't wait! I'm nervous and excited all at once! I want baby J to be healthy and I can't wait to find out the gender!

After spending a day and a half at market followed by a few hours standing at a concert the night of my 31st birthday, I had swollen ankles and feet for the first time. I guess I better start taking it easy! :)

16 Week Update!

How far along? 16 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I'll find out Thursday.
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I have slept ok...better than last week, but not great.
Best moment this week: I've still been having this fluttering feeling, but I'm not sure what it is. My app told me that I could begin to feel "quickening", which is the little flutters that you feel in the beginning, so maybe that's what it is. I'll see what my doctor says later this week!
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Not really!
Movement: Not sure!
Food cravings: I'm still eating veggie sandwiches and salads. I'm glad I'm not craving bad stuff!
Anything making you queasy or sick: I don't feel great after I eat greasy food, but it doesn't really make me sick.
Have you started to show yet: According to my app I will be going through a growth spurt over the next few weeks!
Gender prediction: Girl
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I've been kind of moody this week. It almost feels like I've been PMSing, but I've been a little stressed out.
Looking forward to: My appt Thursday and finding out the gender in a few weeks!

15 Week Update!

This is the only pic I got in my countdown shirt. I finally wore it for the first time and I didn't even get a good pic. I was so busy all day so my mom snapped one really quick before I went upstairs to bed.

How far along? 15 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: I'll find out next week!
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I haven't slept good in a few nights. I'm still tossing and turning a lot and waking up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. I've had sinus troubles so it's hard to breathe at night and I wake up all hours of the night to blow my nose. Poor Ryan!
Best moment this week: I'm not sure if these little flutters are just gas or the baby. At first I thought they were the baby, but now I'm thinking they're probably just gas. Either way, I'm excited to start feeling some movement! :)
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Good sleep...I guess that's nature's way of preparing me for what's to come! ;)
Movement: Not sure! I know it's probably too early, but I've felt these little flutters that I've never felt before.
Food cravings: I've def got my fill of sausage biscuits and I've moved on to veggie sandwiches from the bakery. I have to make them b/c I like them made in a certain order. Thin wheat bread with mayo, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles and jalapeños! Yes, you read that right...pickles!!! This is a small miracle.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I'm finally feeling good...no more nausea and I hope it stays that way!
Have you started to show yet: My pooch is getting bigger and bigger! I feel like it popped a little more since last week.
Gender prediction: Girl
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: I've been pretty happy! They started framing our house yesterday so I've been in a really good mood seeing the progress. I'm super anxious to find out who this little baby is though! The gender day can't come soon enough! I feel like I'd like to do something special for our parents to tell them. Nothing fancy, but maybe buy them a little surprise and give it to them the day we find out. Cupcakes with pink or blue icing would be good! ;) Maybe I can get Matthew and Jack to help me out with telling my dad and Jennifer. Since I didn't get to do anything fun when we told everyone the big news, maybe I can do it now! I can't wait!
Looking forward to: February!!!
