Week Seventeen

Weekly update!

How far along?: 17 weeks, 2 days

Weight gain/loss: going to the Dr. on Monday and I'm assuming it's going to be a high number considering how much we ate out while on vacation

Symptoms: feeling much better although I'm still surprised how tired I am "early" at night

Gender: team green

Sleep?: haven't slept great this past week but it might have something to do with all 3 of us sleeping in the same room

Best moment this week?: baby related: feeling some real kicks - not just movement but kicks. non-baby related: the vacation as a whole - the sunshine, the warm weather, seeing old friends, going to the parks, just being a family

Movement: as mentioned above, I've started feeling some kicks

Food cravings/aversions: I can't seem to get enough fruit especially watermelon. I ate an insane amount of watermelon this past week and slightly ashamed by how much I hogged it from Mike and Colin :)

What I miss?: not sure

What I am looking forward to?: my Doctor's appt on Monday

Size of Baby: the size of a turnip - 5" long and about 5" oz in weight

What I’m nervous about: will we ever be able to decide on a girl's name?

Busy Bee

I know I said last week that I promised to have a post up soon. Apparently I lied. Life has been busy.

Saturday: I worked, got home and headed straight to our last Christmas Party. We got home from that party and the guys went to bed since Mike worked 3rd shift that night.

Sunday: Mike slept while Colin and I went to church. We spend the afternoon at my parents so Mike could get some rest. We met up with some friends to take the kids sledding and then dinner. Headed back to my parents to pick up our stuff and put Colin to bed late and we almost immediately joined him.

Monday: Colin woke up at the crack of dawn and since Mike worked at 7am, we were all up for the day around 6am. I ended up working (was my day off) until 8:30pm due to a very important meeting with a potentially very large account. Mike had Step 1 of a root canal at 2:30pm.

Tuesday: Brought work, school and another snow storm. After work, I met up with an old friend for dinner.

Wednesday: Finally a day off. I only left the house to get Merridith from school and bring her to get her fixed car.

Thursday: I had what I had hoped to be the final step of my crown to find out that it "isn't perfect" and I need to come back. Ugggg!

Friday: Here I am at work. Mike is working tonight - 3rd shift again. Blah!

Saturday-Wednesday: We will be working each day as we lead up to our vacation. We have church Saturday night. Mike and I both each have another dentist appointment for the next steps in our root canal/crowns. We have Pre-School orientation on Wednesday and something else that I can't remember.

Thursday: Mike works and then we take off for a much needed vacation; our last big vacation as a family of 3. That fact makes me incredibly happy and sad all at the same time.

So a post with pictures is going to have to wait a little bit longer. It's coming though, I promise.
Weekly update!

How far along?:
15 weeks, 2 days

Weight gain/loss: My appetite is making a come back. I'm afraid my loss is probably gone. If not, it should be by the end of vacation

Symptoms: I still have the occasional bad day but beginning to finally feel better. Still experiencing a lot of stomach pains/cramps but haven't had any blood again, so I'm trying to not work myself up.

Gender: Hmmm maybe it's because Colin calls the baby "her" all the time but I'm not quite as positive its a boy anymore.

Sleep?: would have a lot more if Colin's darn tooth would just come in so he'd sleep more!

Best moment this week?: Colin has started wanting to say good-night to the baby at night which of course has to include singing songs to "her". "What song does her want Mommy?" "Her wants just one more song." It melts my heart.

Movement: I'm sure this week that I've been feeling the baby rolling around in there.

Food cravings/aversions: this week has been raspberry flavored peaches. I literally eat them out of the can. I should find where to buy them in bulk. It hits my sweet tooth without the sugar overload that makes me feel sick.

What I miss?: my jeans fitting. about time to either bust out the belly band or a pair of maternity jeans.

What I am looking forward to?: vacation next week!

Size of Baby: an apple - 4" inches long and about 2 1/2 ounces in weight.

What I’m nervous about: honestly - being able to find maternity clothes. the selection for plus size maternity clothes is pretty much non-existant. Clearly since I'm already taking about wanting maternity pants, I'm probably not going to make it until almost 7 months like with Colin.
