20 weeks

I am

20 weeks

[and for some reason I'm looking tired and miserable here]

PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:

How Far Along: 20 weeks

Size of baby: The website I googled said little strawberry is currently the length of a banana.

   Total Weight Gain/Loss: My scale is saying I've gained 2 lbs. Oh me. Let the fun begin! :)

Maternity Clothes: For sure! I'm wearing regular pants today and the button has popped open a few times. I'm thinking it's time to retire the regular pants for 20 more weeks.

Gender: My gut is still saying BOY. But we will confirm that FRIDAY!!!!

Movement: Still no movement. But I'm not complaining!

What I miss: I'm still missing my energy, clear face, not being sick and sleep.

Cravings: Pretty much anything that's not sweet. Mostly salty foods. I'm also finally able to actually want/eat dinner.

Symptoms: Exhaustion, nausea, gagging and acne. I'm happy to say the gagging is decreasing and so is the morning sickness. YAY!!! Although I am still extremely EXHAUSTED. Every afternoon I just want to collapse and do nothing at all.
Best Moment this week: Waiting on Friday to get here. :) :) :)

Weekend in pictures...

We went to the Discovery Center Saturday morning. The boys had tons of fun running around and sliding down the slide!

Tuff and MeMe

He loved the tunnels

Not wanting to take anymore pictures...

Getting "fireman" ready...

Best lookin fireman I've ever seen :)

Buddies

Tuff was wore out from church Sunday morning. He decided to kick back and relax on the way home....

I may be being just a little biased, but he sure is a sweetie!

And here's one for the ladies (in the future. really.far.away future) hehe.

He might just turn out to be a cowboy, afterall. ;)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!!

Be back tomorrow with my 20 week post....

19 Weeks & Birthday Re-Cap

I am

19 Weeks

PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:

How Far Along: 19 weeks

Size of baby: The website I googled said little strawberry is currently the size of a large heirloom tomato.

   Total Weight Gain/Loss: I think I've officially broke even with my pre-pregnancy weight. No more negatives, but no positives yet so I guess that's good.

Maternity Clothes: It's that time. Oh my!

Gender: Still not sure. My gut is still saying BOY. I am scheduled for the ultrasound next Friday with my doctor's office.

Movement: Still not feeling any movement.

What I miss: I'm still missing my energy, clear face, not being sick and sleep. Lately I've been extremely exhausted. Like asleep by 8-8:30 exhausted. My face has cleared just a smidge though.

Cravings: Still no cravings.

Symptoms: Exhaustion, nausea, gagging and acne. Although, I'm happy to say the gagging is decreasing. YAY!!!
Best Moment this week: Spending my 25th birthday with my sweet baby boy and closest Family. :)

Everything seems to be moving right along. I have days where I wish I was closer to having him/her. But I know I shouldn't rush it. Especially with an almost 2 year old. :) I had a wonderful time this weekend celebrating my birthday with my family. We had dinner at Logan's and headed straight to the bowling alley for a little more fun. I thought I'd share a few pictures from our night...

Buddy was pretty into all the bowling balls

My oldest sister, April, and her family

Jordan & Will

Tori & Sydney

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!!!

Thankful for Friday's

Don't know about ya'll, but I'm so HAPPY to see Friday!!!! A few things I'm looking foward to this weekend...

* Spending time with my baby boy (always my favorite)

* My 25th BIRTHDAY tomorrow (oh me, I'm officially going to be "half way to 50") :)

* Spending time with the people who mean the most to me for my 25th birthday, both families!!! The plans... dinner and a little bit of bowling :)

I don't have to much to say today besides expressing my happiness for Fridays. (Especially this Friday!) I just returned from lunch at Olive Garden with my Aunt Melissa and my sister Bree a few minutes ago. Now I'm stuffed and ready for a nap. Unfortunitely, I've got another 4 hours of work to complete.

I just wanted to pop in to say HAPPY FRIDAY!!! I should return on Monday! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!!

[This is how baby boy is feeling about Friday's]

18 weeks

I'm not posting a picture today because I didn't get to take one. Now that my belly is growing pretty good, I'll probably start taking weekly pictures next week instead of every other week. So stay tuned for week 19. As for week 18, here are some highlights....

 

 

I am

18 Weeks

PREGNANCY HIGHLIGHTS:

How Far Along: 18 weeks

Size of baby: The website I googled said little strawberry is currently the size of a pickle

 Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still at (-1) according to my scale at home

Maternity Clothes: It's that time. Oh my!

Gender: Still not sure. My gut is still saying BOY. But I guess we'll know April 8th for sure. :)

Movement: Still not feeling any movement. Is this normal during a 2nd pregnancy? I'm sure it is... I just always heard you feel the baby sooner in a 2nd pregnancy than the 1st.

What I miss: I'm still missing my energy, clear face, not being sick and sleep. Lately I've been extremely exhausted. Like asleep by 8-8:30 exhausted.

Cravings: No cravings this week. I'm wondering when I'll get to the point where I want to eat everything in sight, like I did when I got to a certain point with Tuff's pregnancy. :)

Symptoms: Exhaustion, nausea, gagging and acne. Although, I'm happy to say the gagging is decreasing. YAY!!!
Best Moment this week: Finally getting to spend some much needed time outside with my beautiful baby boy!!! 

 

 

Hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday!!!!
