Week Thirteen

Weekly update!

How far along?:
13 weeks, 2 days

Weight gain/loss: LOST almost 4.5 pounds!

Symptoms: I can tell I'm nearing the 2nd trimester mark as I'm starting to have less sick moments.

Gender: I still think its a boy and occasionally find myself calling him by our #1 ranked boy's name.

Sleep?: I've been going to bed earlier lately but wake up frequently

Best moment this week?: hearing the heartbeat on Monday!

Movement: I thought I felt some movement but not sure since it's still pretty early on

Food cravings/aversions: Nothing really but can tell I'm starting to feel better since the other day not only did I not get sick in the grocery store but I also came up with 5 different meal ideas! I haven't been able to come up with meal ideas in like 8 or 9 weeks

What I miss?: not sure right now

What I am looking forward to?: continuing to feel better.

Size of Baby: a peach - roughly 3" long

What I’m nervous about: nervous isn't the right word but just how much we want to do before the baby comes

Week Eleven

Weekly update!

How far along?:
11 weeks, 3 days

Weight gain/loss: I'm having a hard time remembering where I started. I think I'll just wait to see what it is at the Dr's since I remember what I was there.

Symptoms: still dealing with all day nausea although I had two consecutive days without it. felt like my own little Christmas miracle :)

Gender: I'm still strongly feeling its a boy

Sleep?: I either sleep like crap (toss between insomnia and getting up often to pee) or I sleep like a rock.

Best moment this week?: We hung up an ivory stocking for the baby along side our 3 stockings. We got a sample of a newborn diaper and Mike asked Colin what it was. He said it was a baby diaper. Then he picked it up and put it inside the stocking. It was sweet that he's putting two and two together.

Movement: Still too early

Food cravings/aversions: Nothing really although certain smells make me really gaggy

What I miss?: I think I say this every week but just feeling ok.

What I am looking forward to?: Feeling like I can enjoy this a little more. I loved being pregnant with Colin and I hate that this one is so difficult.

Milestones: I think I'm going to delete this question because I never know how to answer it.

Size of Baby: the size of a fig

What I’m nervous about: just how many things seem to be piling up due to my lack of energy and feeling well.

Christmas Program

Colin had his first Christmas program last night. The kids did a great job singing their songs and Colin really enjoyed performing for everyone - possibly too much :) Here is a video of all the kids singing together. Colin is towards the left in a red sweater on the 3rd row. Look for the kid jumping ... that should be him :)

Old McDonald

We told Colin yesterday that we were expecting. He totally doesn't get it yet. However we did ask if he wanted a baby boy or a baby girl. He said a boy. I asked what his name should be. He proudly exclaimed: OLD MCDONALD Mommy!!! While we won't be sharing names this time around, it is safe to say it won't be Old McDonald :)
