Pregnancy

How far along? 14 weeks 4 days
Maternity clothes? I officially wear Maternity shirts almost every day and I own several pair of maternity pants now. I can still wear my prepregnancy jeans if I don't button or zip them... I guess that still counts.
Sleep: I wake up every two or three hours and have to potty but life is good.
Movement: Maybe...I feel strange little things going on but are they baby or are they gas?
Food cravings: Not this week
Gender: Unknown
What I am looking forward to: Finding out where and when we can move

14 Weeks

So I have not taken the 14 week photo yet. I am feeling pretty bloated, and the last thing I want to do right now is take a photo of my belly. I told Andy my belly reminds me of the movie with Tim Allen as Santa Clause because it is just a bowl full of jelly. Oh at least I know what I should be for Halloween. I'll do my best to get some real photos up this weekend. Love to all!

My Belly Bump

Week 12

The 12 week scan was an amazing experience. We got to see our baby be very lazy. The ultrasound tech had to keep poking me to get the baby to move. She asked us if we wanted to know the gender and we both gave an excited yes. She said boy with 80% certainty! We are not buying blue just yet but are exploring boy names at this point. We got the best news ever following the ultrasound that Townsend NT Scan results were very good! Hurray for our healthy baby!!!

Week 11

Week 11 has been amazing so far! No morning sickness and I have more energy than I have in weeks. In regards to how plump my belly is looking I just ate a big lunch and I am beyond bloated. This was a hard photo for me to post because Andy literally asked if I was poking it out. Of course I was not I would never attempt to look larger than I am if anything I would attempt to look thinner. This may be the end of bare belly shots. They don't help my self esteem!

















Highlights this week have been my cravings. They include pickles, Cinnamon buns, and chicken wings.

On Wed Sept 30th we are scheduled for our 12 week ultrasound. Our midwife says if Townsend is cooperating we may get an idea of the gender so that is exciting. Plus that will mark the beginning of our 12th week a time I have been waiting for to start shopping!!!!
Keep the prayers coming for a healthy baby.

Week 10

Welcome to the end of the 1st trimester! Trust me, I am ready. The nausea has already started to change from a constant to an occasional threat. I have two new accessories... and they are now less off limits to the hubby than they used to be. According to my hair dresser, who is an amazing Italian lady, I am having a baby girl. She did this weird Italian trick with a chain and my wedding ring, and the results were "girl" both times. Honestly, we don't care what the gender is, but I am very entertained by these predictions. I can say pretty certainly that most of the votes on my side have been girl, and on Andy's side have been boy... we will know soon enough and plan on auctioning the results to the highest bidder.

Just kidding.

Ornament
