It's a...


BOY!

We have a cute little baby boy growing in my belly! He's starting to look like a real baby now, and so cute! 
We are still narrowing down names, but I'm so in love with this little man already! 


We make a habit of praying for this little one everyday, but especially before appointments. We are so blessed to have this little guy become a part of our lives soon! 5 more months! I can't wait to hold him and kiss him and pinch those little buns!

16 weeks!

How far along? 16 weeks!

How big is baby? The size of an avocado :) 

Total weight gain/loss: I'm the same as I started out! Weird, because my pants definitely don't fit anymore!

Maternity clothes? Yep. Officially in all maternity pants now at 16 weeks! So comfy! I should have converted earlier ;)

Sleep: We are still a little sick here, but sleep has been ok! 

Best moment this week: We find out Boy or Girl tomorrow!

Movement: I can't feel our little one moving yet! I can't wait!

Food cravings: It's begun... everything! 

Food Aversions: Fried stuff still doesn't sit well with me.  

Gender: Tomorrow!

Labor Signs: Nope! I am having some growing ligament pains though. And my hips! Oh my. 

Pregnancy Symptoms? Sinus stuff. Moodiness. Sore boobies. Belly stuff. 

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I miss: I miss my boobs not hurting!

What I am looking forward to: Painting that nursery! Blue or Pink! 

Upcoming appointments/events:  Check up tomorrow! Should be able to tell what we are having if baby is cooperating! 

Weekly Wisdom: No matter how much you brush your pearly whites, they are going to come back red. Bleeding gums suck! 

Milestones: Baby is growing those pretty eyelashes (which I hope are like my husband's!)

Bump Picture: This is from earlier this week: More like 15 weeks!

14.5 Weeks!

How far along? 14.5 weeks!

How big is baby? The size of a lemon (which I feel like is smaller than a peach), or the size of my fist (which is crazy!)

Total weight gain/loss: I keep losing or gaining just enough that I have stayed the same since we went to our first appointment 14.5 weeks ago! Pretty good ;)

Maternity clothes? A couple of shirts are just more comfy right now, but not necessary. 

Sleep: We are still a little sick here, but sleep has been ok! 

Best moment this week: Learning that our little one is swimming around in there and possible sucking her/his thumb! 

Movement: I can't feel our little one moving yet! I can't wait!

Food cravings: It's begun... everything! 

Food Aversions: Fried stuff still doesn't sit well with me.  

Gender: I want to find out so bad! 

Labor Signs: Nope! I am having some growing ligament pains though. 

Pregnancy Symptoms? Sinus stuff. Moodiness. Oy. 

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I miss: I miss my boobs not hurting!

What I am looking forward to: Getting an actual baby bump!

Upcoming appointments/events:  Check up tomorrow! Should be able to hear the heartbeat with the Doppler! 

Weekly Wisdom: Don't worry about not eating enough during the first trimester because of morning sickness. It WILL come back in the second trimester. It has for me already!

Milestones: Baby is sucking his/her thumb! 

Bump Picture: Not until I get a real bump ;) I'm getting stubborn! I wish will have a new photo tomorrow, but no more ultrasounds until the next appointment! :(

13.5 Weeks!

How far along? 13.5 weeks!

How big is baby? The size of a peach!

Total weight gain/loss: I haven't weighed this week :/ but things are getting tighter!

Maternity clothes? Not yet! 

Sleep: The stomach/head bug has hit our house so there is lots of sleeping going on. 

Best moment this week: Getting an idea of what we are having! ;)

Movement: I can't feel our little one moving yet! I can't wait!

Food cravings: Plain rice and Mexican rice. Weird. 

Food Aversions: Fried stuff still doesn't sit well with me.  

Gender: We have an idea!

Labor Signs: Nope! Cramping is gone too! 

Pregnancy Symptoms? Some bloating and sinus stuff. But that could be from being sick too. 

Belly Button in or out? In.

What I miss: Having a fairly flat tummy. Haha. 

What I am looking forward to: Getting an actual baby bump!

Upcoming appointments/events:  Check up next Wednesday!

Weekly Wisdom: Stock up on meds you are allowed to take during pregnancy. You never know when you might need it. 

Milestones: For us, buying and putting together a crib and a changing table! 

Bump Picture: I still just look like I ate too many burritos. Not a nice round bump yet! Here's a picture of our munchkin:
