Weekly Check In: 12 weeks

Weekly Check-In

How far along?
12 Weeks!! Baby is the size of plum!


 Maternity clothes?

Bought my first par of pants from Old Navy and a couple shirts. The pants Im going to save for when it gets cooler. The belly part is way big. Got a gift card to Destination Maternity and cant wait to go there.

Sleep?

Sleep is sleep. Im telling you my dogs are training me good.

Best moment this week?


Being able to find the heartbeat pretty fast now on the doppler!! Starting to show just alittle!!!

Food cravings:

Really not having that many cravings anymore. Nothing sounds good except Chick-fil-a! Oh and I  just found out they are putting one in the hospital we work at. Im going to be broke.

Gender:

7 weeks and counting down!! Im having the NT scan next Thursday and they will probably try to predict it with a percentage. But dont go buy anything til the anatomy scan at 18-20 weeks!

Belly button in or out?

In

Movement:

No movement.

What I miss?

Sneezing and it not hurting. I get Round Liagment Pain when I sneeze. A very interesting feeling. 

What I'm looking forward to:

Getting out of First Trimester and seeing my belly grow and feeling baby move! 

Milestones:

Making it to 12 weeks!! Every once in awhile I will be sitting there and be like holy cow Im really pregnant!!!

Here is my 12 week pics:(bad hair day)


My friend gave me stickers to place on my belly that say the week Im in. The front picture is not cute right now so I will share that once Im bigger!

Working out and Being Pregnant

Prior to being pregnant I was a hardcore workoutaholic... The last few weeks Ive totally not been myself. Hardcore workouts are a thing of the past I think. At least for the next 6+ months. I truly miss the pavement outside but its way to hot even stepping outside at 8 o'clock at night. During my long runs was my time to reflect on the week and work thru things that might have bothered me. It was like my depression medication. As of right now I cant find anything that compares to the feeling of a runner's high and totally zoning out while running.

You really dont start to get a runner's high until about mile 4-5. It takes your body a bit to level out then it feels like you are walking but your actually running. Im putting this in my blog to give myself a goal in the 2nd Trimester. After Im pretty safe knowing Im out of first tri Im going to run outside again. But only 3-4 miles per doctor request. If I have to run in the dark or wake up at the butt crack of dawn I will do it. I know at some point I will have to stop running and walk because it will be bothersome to my bladder.

Im so excited for the day I get to meet this baby and share my love for running with he or she. I truly hope that when they get older they feel the way I do about it. Its something that keeps you grounded. I cant wait to sign up for a race and my child will be holding up a sign cheering me on thru out the course saying Go Momma!!!

Weekly Check-In: 11 Weeks!!

Weekly Check-In

How far along?
 11 Weeks!! Baby is the size of lime!


Maternity clothes?

Yes just shirts but Old Navy has a sale online and I might get on there and buy some pants today!

Sleep?

Sleep is still going good for the most part. Im pretty use to having to get up and pee now so its no biggie! I look forward to the day its to get up and spend time with our baby.  

Best moment this week?

Finding the heartbeat on the fetal monitor at home. Its so easy now because the baby is bigger. We tried at 9 weeks and it was so hard and took forever to find!!

Food cravings:

Starting to feel bad for John with my cravings. When I crave something we go but he is the one that over indulges. I just get that one thing that I crave and thats it. Today I was craving steak fingers again and he was good and ate healthy so proud of him!!!

Gender:

Well I had a pretty good feeling this baby was a girl til I had a very visual dream about our baby boy. I was giving him a bath and OMG he looked just like John but had my nose. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and was the cutest thing I have ever seen. So ready for week 18-20 so we can find out!

Belly button in or out?

In

Movement:

No movement.

What I miss?

I truly miss my morning cup of coffee. But it just doesn't sound good anymore.

What I'm looking forward to:

Looking forward to seeing John get more and more excited as things change. He is going to be one amazing father.

Milestones:

Getting over the hump when ladies have miscarriages. I think I will be able to take a deep breath and be ok!!!

So I wanted to share with you guys a video that John recorded of Baby M's heartbeat:

Milestones:

Having only two-four weeks and Im out of first tri and moving on to second tri. I feel like this journey goes by really fast. We are doing everything we can to enjoy every single moment of this. Here is a recent picture of our little gummy bear:

These letters are so cute.....

Well its that time again where I post more pics of some letters that I just got done and gave to the momma yesterday!!! Here is a picture of me and the momma!!! She is a good friend of mine. We have been friends since we played softball together at the age of 7! This is her second baby!


She went with a Jungle theme for a girl. It was really really cute!!! She got alot of stuff yesterday and some really really cute clothes. Ok so here is a picture of the bedding. She is painting the walls brown not the green color in the picture.



And here are the cutest letters I think Ive done so far:




The pictures arent great but will have to do for now!!! Someone told me yesterday I needed to sell these on Etsy! But its different when you do them for a friend. I would feel a bit overwhelmed I think but maybe!!!

A Wonderful 30th Birthday....

Sunday was my 30th birthday but I felt like the whole weekend was my birthday. Saturday we had some of my friends over for hamburgers and hot dogs!!! We had a blast!!! John couldnt wait to give me my presents so I got to open them that night!!! All I have to say is Im rotten! He really knows how to listen to things I need or want.

I got an awesome pregnancy pillow that is so dang comfortable, a new camera, stuff for making my letters, storage bin for the letters/supplies, panties, and stuff to learn how to crochet! Sunday was my actual bday and we went an ate breakfast at this awesome place in our town called "Taste of Home"!! It was yummy! Then we met my mom and step dad for fried catfish at this place called Doe Belly's. Holy Cow was that fish good. Was happy to find out they are putting one in a town closer to us. We will for sure be going back!!! Then we went to a Rough Riders game with a good friend of mine. It was hot but had a wonderful time!!

Before going to the Rough Riders games we stopped at Dick's sporting good and bought me a Kayak!!! John has been trying to talk me into buying one for a month. He just got one and we were thinking I could fit in his with him. Then we started thinking about getting in and out of the water like that and we would of fallen in the water for sure! So here is my kayak(pretty and green) and his kayak with our dog Emma in it:





Again it was super hot here in Texas temps in the 100's but man kayaking is fun. Just have to stay away from snakes!!!!


Monday we went to John's parents for more hamburgers and hot dogs. I think Im so over hamburgers right now that if I see another one I might throw up. After the hamburgers we went and saw the best fireworks show ever!! We were so close to them you could feel the bang in your chest!! I will never forget this Bday!! Thanks to all my husband, friends and family that made it a special one!!!!
