We are going in a little early I will be 15 weeks exactly so i am a little nervous that baby won't be in a good position and we will have to go back. Names are decided, Jordan Bradford or Hannah Lee. After we find out we are going to do a little shopping and do our registry! I also got my first maternity clothes in today. Gauchos, a jean jacket, cardigan, and a skirt.

Valentine's Day

I have not been on here in awhile because....we got a new house! It is amazing, so much nicer then our old one. We now have 3 bedrooms, 2 and a half baths, and all hardwood downstairs. Basically everything I ever wanted in a home! Moving is never fun and we still have a lot of work to do. I have always loved Valentine's Day. i just think it is so fun to do something extra special for the people you love. It drives me crazy when people say they hate it because you should show your love to those important to you every day of the year. I just like having an extra day to do something extra special. Growing up my mom always made my sister and I, a basket of V-day goodies and that was something I always looked forward to. She did it up until I moved out! I made Brian a basket of candy with fun sayings, and he got his tool set last weekend. And he got me..Godiva chocolate. This is like incomparable to the other boxed chocolates I have had. So good! Tonight we are making two kinds of pasta and he has a basketball game. Love today and am so lucky to have to husband and family that I have. It's crazy to think next year on Valentine's day we will have a three year old and a six month old!

Total weight gain/loss: Minus 9-10

It's Real!

Ever since we found out at around 4 weeks, being pregnant has not felt real. People would say to me, "I can't believe there's a baby in there!" and I would feel irritated...like no way there's not. It is hard to believe it until you see it! Monday we finally had our long awaited ultrasound! B and K came and it was so great having them both there. This pregnancy is so different then my first, just because I'm not in it alone. My stomach is definitely growing now, it's no longer just bloat!




How far along? 10 weeks!


Total weight gain/loss: Minus 5-7

Maternity clothes? Two maternity tank tops, but I refuse to buy maternity jeans. Scored some MEK denim jeans in 2 sizes bigger, they are jeggings and amazingly stretchy!

Stretch marks? n/a

Sleep: I so miss sleep. I am always, always tired!

Best moment this week? Hearing the babies heart beat!! And finally seeing baby!!

Movement: Not yet.

Food cravings: Mexican food and caffeine!

Gender: 10 weeks to go!

Wedding rings on or off? on

What I am looking forward to: My gender appt. in ten weeks and our Superbowl party Sunday.

Healthy

This seem like the worst time to take charge of my health and weight, considering I'm pregnant. A lot of doctors say not to worry about your weight, yet don't gain too much. This is really confusing to me and probably the reason i gained so much the first time around. From week six until now (almost week eight) I have had extreme nausea. Just a constant upset stomach, nothing sounds good kind of nausea. At night is usually when I get my appetite back, and it is usually for bland things like breads and also sweets. This is something I am trying to control though. Eating late at night just does not work for me. I have also been so tired. Like one morning I woke up at ten and by two my eyelids would not stay open! I keep reading getting out and being active can help battle fatigue. So that's what I am doing today. I also got my new workout shoes in yesterday so that is even more motivation to go. I am also going to be posting one here about some of the healthy food choices I make. Here is my breakfast this morning, and I am not a breakfast person. But I know eating breakfast can help set your metabolism for the day. A protein waffle. Now off to the gym!

Seven Weeks Today

I feel so busy lately even with not much going on. Just a lot to get done I guess. And getting used to being pregnant again is hard! Tonight I went to dinner with a friend. It was nice to get out kid free. Tomorrow my best friend is coming to stay the night and then we will be going into town to do a little shopping and see my mom. I need to clean my house and fit in a workout and school work tomorrow though. So no relaxing for me! My first appointment is on Monday and I am so excited. We don't get to see or hear the baby yet, but it just feels good to get in for something. Hoping I can get everything done because I am exhausted!


Total weight gain/loss: About 2 lbs

Maternity clothes: Nope, but I prefer leggings or sweats right now, just cause of the bloat

Stretch marks: From before

Sleep: Exhausted, but never sleep.

Best moment this week: Figuring out nursery themes for each gender, and non related my SIL had her baby boy

Movement: None yet.

Gender: We'll know in 13 weeks :)

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out: In

Resolution.

I stayed up until midnight! I really wasn't sure if I would make it. I am just so tired these days. We watched 300 and then all the NYE specials and then I went to bed. I was officially six weeks yesterday, which is really exciting because 2 weeks has already flown by since we found out! In honor of it being the New Year and all, I'm going to write down my resolutions for this upcoming year.

  1. While pregnant work out 2-3x a week. Yoga. Walking. Whatever, as long as I am making a conscious effort to do something.
  2. Take charge of our finances. (create a budget)
  3. Grow my hair out! It seems silly, but I HATE my short hair. I keep cutting it because the in between just drives me crazy. But I will let it grow out!
  4. Keep up with school. I am already doing this, but I just want to stay motivated and continue to stay on top of things.
  5. Start my Arbonne business. This is something I really want to do and I need to commit and stick with it!
