Week 14

How far along? 14 weeks, 3 days

Total weight gain/measurements: 2 lbs as of my last dr's appt, but probably more. 

Maternity clothes: Yes. I love them. Don't judge me because I am way more comfortable than you! 

Stretch marks? I found one on my hips and died, but there is no absolute guarantee it wasn't there before. 

Sleep: Last night it was terrible, but I sleep pretty soundly! 

Best moment this week: Finding out the gender!! 

Miss anything? It was weird not drinking at the wedding last night, but I don't necessarily miss alcohol? I miss not being starving all the time. 

Movement: None. 

Food cravings: Fruit, salty things

Anything making you queasy or sick? Mike's cologne. Random foods. The sound of someone pretending to throw up. Trash. Nachos and red velvet cake :( 

Gender: :) 

Labour signs: No, thank goodness! 

Symptoms: Gigantic boobs, nausea, exhaustion, super dry skin!! 

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On, but my eczema is so bad that my ring finger keeps swelling and makes it difficult to take my ring off sometimes. 

Happy or moody most of the time: I thought I was being happy but when Mike and I were going over old wive's tales, he informed me I was quite moody. 

Looking forward to: Our gender reveal party this Saturday!! 

It's kind of hard to come back to this blog, but I really don't want to go anywhere else? This pregnancy is so incredibly different from my first. I feel so blessed to know that God had a hand in this, that he is watching over this baby. Thank you all for your continued prayers. It can be hard to be pregnant after a loss! 

Week 9

How far along? 9 weeks, three days!

Total weight gain/measurements: Not sure. I have my next dr's appt tomorrow and I am trying not to stress too much over my weight. My pants are still too big, so I think that's a great sign. 

Maternity clothes: Negative.

Stretch marks? None. Since last week I've decided putting on lotion makes me want to throw up, so I am hoping this goes away soon so I can go back to lathering myself in it. 

Sleep: It's starting to get hard to fall asleep. I just can't get comfortable in any position. Plus I've become weirdly conscious of which side I'm sleeping on after reading that it's an old wive's tale that if you sleep on your right side, you're having a girl. 

Best moment this week: Telling my church friends at our pinterest party. They have been praying for me and Mike to get pregnant and overcome PCOS for a few months now, so it was super exciting to tell them! 

Miss anything? Having energy is number one. 

Movement: None. 

Food cravings: ENCHILADAS. I went to the grocery store and came home with five different kinds of frozen enchiladas because no one else seems to think it's a good idea to eat them every night of the week. Whatever. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Lotion. Even the unscented stuff. Just the texture of it makes me feel nauseated. Food doesn't make me feel sick, but my nose is soo sensitive. It is absolutely miserable to smell anything. 

Gender: I start out on my left side and wake up on my right. Hmmmm. ;) 

Labour signs: Nope!

Symptoms: I am exhausted all the time...this will never change. The nausea comes and goes but it seems to be getting better! I've been sick twice...not too bad. My boobs ache, though. 

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or moody most of the time: Moody, which is also a sign of having a girl, but I am moody all the time, so nothing new there. 

Looking forward to: My next OB appointment is tomorrow! The last day of school in 2013 is Friday!! 

Week 8

Probably should start taking pictures. Until then...

How far along? 8 weeks!

Total weight gain/measurements: When I went in to my dr's appt last Tuesday, I had gained no weight...surprising since I was on a really strict diet and went off it as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I haven't been eating really well the past two weeks, but I hope to stick to healthy eating once this ice storm passes. 

Maternity clothes: Negative. My clothes are still a little too big, which I LOVE! 

Stretch marks? None. I have Cocoa Butter from Palmer's but I've temporarily lost it. :( 

Sleep: I wake up about once or twice a night to use the restroom.

Best moment this week: Seeing the heartbeat (sort of) at our first dr's appointment. And this ice storm! Between the dr's appt, a school trip to Waller, and the ice day, I only went to school twice this week! 

Miss anything? Having energy and liking normal foods at normal times. 

Movement: None. 

Food cravings: Today it was tamales and orange juice. I drank a lot of OJ and regretted it as I felt so sick afterward. No tamales, so I settled for taquitos instead. Meh. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Eating food. Orange juice, but I want it so bad! 

Gender: I want a girl and Mike wants a boy. :) 

Labour signs: Nope!

Symptoms: I am exhausted all the time. The morning sickness lasts all day...it's typically worse in the evening or if I haven't eaten in a while. Luckily, I've only actually gotten sick once, so its just nausea...but I hate it! Also I have some awful hormonal acne. I have ever since we went off birth control, though, so it's nothing new. Mom and I are getting facials on the 21st, so I hope that helps!

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or moody most of the time: Moody, mostly. I hate being this tired, though its better after the dr confirmed that my blood pressure is normal. I was really worried with how exhausted I was, but it's getting a little better now. 

Looking forward to: My next appt with Dr. Paroski, my OB, on the 17th. Also, Christmas!!!
