16 Weeks

16 Weeks & It's a Boy!

HOW FAR ALONG?: 16 weeks

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?:  Oh lord, I think probably almost 4 pounds.  Yikes!  This baby has me eating junk all the time.  I ate so healthy with Veda but this one isn't wanting healthy food - definitely a boy!  

MATERNITY CLOTHES: I'd say it's about half and half at this point.  I was trying on shorts for Jamaica and I do still fit in most of my shorts, but for comfort reasons I do wear some maternity clothing. 

SLEEP?: Yes, quite well and I'm looking forward to hours and hours of uninterrupted sleep this week!

BEST MOMENT/S THIS WEEK?: We found out we are having a boy! My witchery worked! I knew it :) I feel very grateful to get to have one of both.  I've been going through Veda's old clothes to get rid of them because (according to my witchery) if we have any more, I know the next one will also be a boy.  If you know of anyone who needs baby girl clothes size NB - 18 months, let me know!

WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?:  No worst moments.  Super busy day at work on Wednesday, I know their just punishing me for going on vacation ;)

MISS ANYTHING?:  I would just like some booze, especially this week on vacation, I'm really gonna want it.   

MOVEMENT?: Not yet, should be soon!  When we had our ultrasound this week, he was sucking his thumb.  So cute! 

FOOD CRAVINGS?: I've been wanting grapefruit real bad (at least it's healthy).  I wonder if that will balance the large quantities of starburst I've had.... I can't resist the FaveREDS. 

LABOR SIGNS?: No, duh.

SYMPTOMS / MOODS?: I've been feeling pretty good the last few weeks.   

BELLY BUTTON IN or OUT?: In. 

WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: On.

LOOKING FORWARD TO...?  Hmmm... we leave tomorrow night for Jamaica, Mon! I am a little nervous because it's a long time to be away from our little squirt.  I'm sure she and my mom will survive, but it is a long time.  My mom will surely be exhausted when we return!  

15 Weeks

15 Weeks

Well, this little baby is coming sooner than expected.  Brett & I were hoping to get pregnant in February of 2015, but I guess there's a different plan for us and I can't plan everything.  We are due with number two July 9th, 2015.  Hopefully I can hold this one in a little longer than I did Veda.  

HOW FAR ALONG?: 15 weeks, get ready, this is happening again!

TOTAL WEIGHT GAIN?: 2.5 pounds, I have a feeling I'll be gaining more with this baby.  I already feel huge.  

MATERNITY CLOTHES: No, not yet.  Although when I was overeating around the holidays I broke out my maternity pants a couple of times ;)  And to be honest, I don't wear a lot of 'real' clothes so I should say, I think I can fit into my regular clothes still ;)

SLEEP?: When Veda allows it!  She had a sleep regression, so we all had a sleep regression but we are back on track and I'm sleeping just fine. 

BEST MOMENT/S THIS WEEK?: I didn't feel like too much went right this week.  I feel well and that's about the best thing I can come up with.  

WORST MOMENT THIS WEEK?:  This week was a little rough.  Veda got a cold turned ear infection this week.  This is her first round of antibiotics, so considering she's about 2, that's pretty good.  Still sucks to hear her coughing and she's not a fan of having all of her snot wiped away.  My father-in-law had some health issues this week as well, so Brett flew back to Kansas for a few days but all is well now!  I've also been battling my insurance company because our insurance changed right at the start of the year which has been annoying (I'm completely missing my first trimester screen because of it).  Aaaannndddd, my phone screen decided to stop working but it's since been replaced.  

MISS ANYTHING?:  I had not mentally prepared for this baby, at all.  I was expecting to get pregnant in February, not October so I'm really missing coffee, wine and sushi.  Like real bad. 

MOVEMENT?: Nothing that can be felt. 

FOOD CRAVINGS?: No cravings.  I feel like I've been eating really poorly lately.  I just can't get into the mood of cooking.  

LABOR SIGNS?: No, duh.

SYMPTOMS / MOODS?: The first trimester I was SO exhausted.  It's hard being pregs when you have a toddler to chase after.  I didn't really have nausea so much as just being really gaggy.  I've also been having the occasional headache, which I don't remember from last time.  

BELLY BUTTON IN or OUT?: In. 

WEDDING RINGS OFF or ON?: On.

LOOKING FORWARD TO...?  My mom comes out to visit on Wednesday so that Brett and I can GO TO JAMAICA ALONE! I'm so excited! I've literally looked up the resort online about a bajillion times and almost packed our bags already.  I cannot wait! I am really nervous, too, though because I've never spent a night away from Veda.  I'm sure I'll be fine after a day or two.  This Jamaican vacation was supposed to be a trip where we make baby number 2, turns out it's a Babymoon now.  Oh well, life is funny.
