12 Weeks (and an explanation)

Well, I think it's time I do a little explaining...
When I was pregnant with my first, I didn't have a job, and I didn't have a car. For a while in the beginning, all I had was a computer with free (read: crappy) wifi, no tv, no cable, nothing. That being said, I had a LOT more free time on my hands to blog. These days, I have a job (one in which I work 50+ hours a week) a car, a tv, cable, and not so crappy wifi. (Also, Pinterest exists, enough said) 
So please forgive me if I don't get around to blogging much more than my weekly updates. ;)  

 How do you like the kiddo photo bomb? lol


How far along? 12 weeks!

How big is baby?  2.1 inches & .49 ounces! The size of a plum :) 


Total weight gain/loss: Around 7 lbs, I blame this on quitting smoking and ALWAYS being hungry.  

Maternity clothes? I have one pair of maternity slacks for work, one pair of maternity jeans, one pair of cords (thanks Lindsey) and a beband to get me through the rest of my wardrobe while I still can. 

Sleep: Sleep is my favorite, I'm having no trouble in that department especially since I inherited a pregnancy pillow from Lindsey. I slept with it Saturday night for the first time, and oh Holy Jesus, it was phenomenal! 

Movement: Nope, not yet! 

Food cravings: Chocolate milk & sugary cereal (not together!) 

Food Aversions: I am having SO many food aversions, it's really pissing me off. Sometimes something that sounded delicious an hour ago, makes me want to barf now. I'm over it. 

Gender: Still not sure! 
Heart Rate- Girl
Cravings- Boy

Pregnancy Symptoms: Oh, you know, the usual. Sore boobs, oily skin, tons of zits, constant hunger... the list goes on and on...at least my irritability has eased up a bit. 

Belly Button in or out? In. It didn't pop out last time, so I doubt it will this time. 

What I miss: Coffee, well Caffeine in general, and my nice skin. 

What I am looking forward to: Second Trimester! We're so close! 

Upcoming appointments/events:  I don't have another appointment until next month. It'll just be the usual; pee in a cup, check my bp/pulse and use the doppler to find lil boo's heartbeat.

11 Weeks!






How far along? 11 weeks!

How big is baby?  1.6 inches & .25 ounces! The size of a lime :) 


Total weight gain/loss: Around 5 - 7 lbs, depending on who's scale I'm standing on.  

Maternity clothes? I have one pair of maternity slacks for work, that I'm loving. They are full panel though, so I'm having to fold it over since it's obviously too big. I'm also LOVING my Beband. Today I broke down and bought a pair of maternity jeans! I'm sick of having to readjust my pants and the ponytail holder keeping them up. 

Sleep: Sleep is my favorite, I'm having no trouble in that department ;) 

Movement: Nothing real yet, definitely some phantom kicks though, which is super weird. 

Food cravings: Chocolate Milk! And cows milk at that! I loathe cows milk, it's disgusting, and bad for you, so we drink almond milk...Nope, I want none of that...gimme chocolate cows milk! All day, everyday! Oh! And anything salty! 

Food Aversions: I am having SO many food aversions, it's really pissing me off. Sometimes something that sounded delicious an hour ago, makes me want to yak now. I'm over it. 

Gender: Still not sure! But thinking (hoping) BOY!

Pregnancy Symptoms: Oh, you know, the usual. Sore boobs, irritable as HELL, mood swings, oily skin, constant hunger... the list goes on and on...

Belly Button in or out? In. It didn't pop out last time, so I doubt it will this time. 

What I miss: Coffee, well Caffeine in general, and my oil & blemish free skin

What I am looking forward to: Second Trimester! 19 days! 

Upcoming appointments/events:  I don't have another appointment until next month. It'll just be the usual; pee in a cup, check my bp/pulse and use the doppler to find lil boo's heartbeat.

10 Weeks!

Hey! Well, I guess I'm not doing too badly keeping up with this blog. 

I had my due date changed on me at my last appointment so I'll now be updating on Sunday instead of Wednesday. 

My original due date was April 9th, but it's been pushed back to April 12th. The day after my sister's birthday, and 7 days before mine. Should I be nervous about an Aries baby? haha


(Finally my lazy ass took a picture! This was taken at 5:30 in the morning, hence my grump face.) 


How far along? 10 weeks!

How big is baby?  1.2 inches & .14 ounces! The size of a prune! 


Total weight gain/loss: Around 5 lbs, depending on who's scale I'm standing on.  

Maternity clothes? I have one pair of maternity slacks for work, that I'm loving. They are full panel though, so I'm having to fold it over since it's obviously too big. I'm also LOVING my Beband <3 font="" nbsp="">

Sleep: Sleep is still going well. Occasionally I have to get up once for a trip to the bathroom, but once isn't too bad. I'm sure it wont be long before that changes. ;) 

Movement: Nothing real yet, definitely some phantom kicks though, which is super weird. 

Food cravings: Sprite! 

Food Aversions: They vary from day to day. Friday I would have barfed at the thought of pizza, but Saturday I had to have it. My husband thinks I'm a crazy person. 

Gender: Still not sure! But thinking BOY!
