25 Weeks

Holy Crap I'm getting big!

How far along: 25 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: It might be tapering off a little.. or at least it was until I went to a family thing last weekend and ate a LOT of yummy homecooked foods.

Maternity clothes: All the time.

Stretch marks: Starting to get more, methinks. 

Sleep: Interrupted, but okay.  Apparently I've been snoring a lot :) 

Best moment this week: The surprise baby shower that my in-laws threw for me!  So many adorable outfits and diapers.

Miss anything:  Cold Turkey and Roast Beef, and craft beer now that it's warming up.  

Movement: A LOT of movement, and it's awesome.  Finally felt her from the outside last Thursday, and feeling her everyday!  Poor Jared still hasn't felt her yet, but he will.

Food cravings: Fries and chips, and sweets.

Anything making you queasy or sick: No, only gross smells.

Have you started to show yet: I'm getting huge..  People keep telling me "Wow, you look really pregnant!"

Sex: Girl, aka Team Leia

Belly button in or out: In, for now.  It's getting more and more shallow.

Wedding rings on or off: Band on, diamond off. 

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!!  And still so tired. 

Labor signs: Not for another 15 weeks at least, I hope. 

Looking forward to: My mom is coming up on Sunday to visit and she's bringing the crib!! Can't wait to have my nursery all set up!  The painting was finished when Jared was off work, and we're slowly going through all of the gifts and getting them washed and sorted, whee!

Awesomesauce

Thursday night was fantastic, as I finally felt the baby move from the outside!!  I was sitting on the couch reading, when all of a sudden, my hand moved up on its own.  I immediately put my hand back and could feel her kicking against it! That is seriously the coolest feeling in the world.  Kind of makes me wish I could feel that forever.  But not really, because being pregnant is a lot of work.

Easter weekend was great, spent some time with my in-law family out in Andrews, and was given my first little baby shower.  It was a total surprise, and so very sweet.  We received some adorable clothes, toys, and most importantly, a whole lot of diapers!

I love my extended family!

22 Weeks (I'm a slacker!)

I haven't blogged in a while and I have NO EXCUSE!  Things have been pretty great lately.   I'm no longer nauseated, my headaches have backed off, and heartburn is tolerable.  My only problems are that I am already uncomfortable, and I have a lot of pain under my boob, but I've always had that.

How far along: 22 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Eh.. more gain than I'd like.  Time to lay off the sweets. I ate a LOT of jelly beans in the last few weeks (darn Easter), and I had joked that this little girl was going to come out smelling like a jelly bean.  But it's time to quit that!

Maternity clothes: Well, I was good when it was cold.   Now that it's warming up I'm going to have to buy a few more pieces.

Stretch marks: No new ones, I guess.  I'm so used to having them that I don't pay attention to new ones. 

Sleep: Interrupted, but okay.  Apparently I've been snoring a lot :) 

Best moment this week: Hmm..  My OB appointment today was fun, I always love to hear her heart beat.

Miss anything:  Cold Turkey and Roast Beef, and craft beer now that it's warming up.  

Movement: A LOT of movement, and it's awesome.  Still can't feel from the outside, but it's nice to know she's in there and moving around.

Food cravings: Fries and chips, and sweets.

Anything making you queasy or sick: No, only gross smells.

Have you started to show yet: I'm getting huge..  People keep telling me "Wow, you look really pregnant!"

Sex: Girl, aka Team Leia

Belly button in or out: In.

Wedding rings on or off: Band on, diamond off. 

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!!  And still so tired. 

Labor signs: Not for another 18 weeks at least, I hope. 

Looking forward to: My husband is off work next week and we are going to finally Paint the nursery!  It will be so pretty.   The bottom half will be pewter, and the top half a plum purple.  Then, I'm going to paint some stenciled stars on the purple with the pewter.  Squee!
