We're Expecting

Here are just a few of our "We're Expecting" photos!  Thanks to Strawberry Hill Photography!

13 (& 1/2) Weeks

My Baby is the Size of a Peach

How Far Along? 13 Weeks (almost 14---I'm a little late blogging this week)

Total Weight Gain? 2 pounds

Maternity Clothes? YES- ALL THE WAY....I realized last week when shopping for clothes for family pictures that I had been in denial....Of course I didn't think I needed maternity clothes when I was wearing yoga pants and t-shirts around the house.  When it came time to wear real clothes, I definitely had to shop in the maternity section!

Sleep? I'm doing much better.  My restroom trips through the night have been cut done from 5-7 trips to only 1 or 2!!! Yay!  I am still having very weird and vivid dreams though, which leave me still feeling tired in the mornings.

Cravings? French Fries & Mexican Food

Missing Anything? Energy still

Movement? I could have sworn I felt something twice last week when I was lying down to go to bed.  One was like a rolling feeling.  I know it's still really early though, so who knows if it was actually baby.

Showing? Yep.  There's no questioning it now.

Belly Button In/Out? In

Wedding Rings On/Off? On

Happy of Moody? Still moody....not always a bad mood, but certainly irritable.

Best Moment of the Week? Officially went public with our pregnancy and posted some pretty cute pictures from our family/we're expecting photo shoot.

Pregnancy Symptoms? Headaches, headaches, and more headaches....everyday!  And then I'm still pretty fatigued.  Nausea comes and goes---nothing bad.

Looking Forward to? Our ultrasound appointment on Saturday, August 3rd, where, as long as our sweet little bug cooperates, we'll find out if we're having a boy or a girl.

12 Weeks & Counting

My Baby is the Size of a Plum

How Far Along? 12 Weeks

Total Weight Gain? 2 pounds

Maternity Clothes? I've been wearing my maternity pants more and more, but I can still wear my regular tops.  My regular pants still fit too, but just aren't nearly as comfortable.

Sleep? Well....I'm doing okay. Still waking up frequently to go to the restroom.  I'm also having a hard time falling asleep and going back after each restroom trip.  When I do sleep, I have the funkiest dreams!

Cravings? Nothing in particular really

Missing Anything? Having Energy. :)

Movement? Still too early to feel....but I'm anticipating that awesome feeling in the next 6-8 weeks or so, hopefully.

Showing? Depends on what I'm wearing.  If I'm wearing normal clothes or a t-shirt, nope.  If I wear my maternity bottoms and a tighter fitting top, then yes.

Belly Button In/Out? In

Wedding Rings On/Off? On

Happy or Moody? Moody.  Chris was trying to steer clear of me last night.  Haha!

Best Moment this Week? Got an offer on our house.  Hopefully we'll come to an agreement and have it sold already!

Pregnancy Symptoms? Along side nausea and fatigue, my headaches have increased in frequency.  Not fun.

Looking Forward to? I have a doctor appointment tomorrow morning and I'm hoping we'll get to hear our sweet baby's heartbeat.  We also had to reschedule our family photos/"we're expecting" photos to tomorrow as well.

11 Weeks & Counting

My Baby is the Size of a Lime

It's crazy to think that just 6-7 weeks ago our baby was just the size of a poppy seed.  

How Far Along? 11 Weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss? 2 pounds

Maternity Clothes? I can still wear my regular clothes, but I've started working on building my maternity clothes wardrobe.  I can really feel my tummy beginning to expand, among other things....I had to go buy two new bras, and let me say, there's nothing like having to ask the sales girl what size comes next!  Thank goodness we have a Dillard's locally, because they seem to be the only store around that carries my size....Sigh....

Sleep? I'm actually getting a little more sleep at night than before.  I had a time when I was getting up an average of 5-6 times a night to go to the bathroom.  We found out I had a UTI and now that we've started to treat it, I'm only getting up 2-3 times a night, which helps.  Still needing naps though.  I'm hoping by the time this first trimester ends and I get back to work that my energy will be back.

Cravings? Pretty much the same....fruit and anything salty....loving french fries right now.

Miss Anything? Sleeping through the night....

Movement? Still too early for me to feel anything. :)

Showing Yet? Nope.

Belly Button In/Out? In

Wedding Rings On/Off? On

Happy or Moody? Probably more moody...  :(

Best Moment this Week?  We finally put our house on the market Saturday, June 6th and we've already had 3 showings since then.  Hopefully we'll be able to sell this quickly and get into a bigger place before baby comes.

Pregnancy Symptoms? Fatigue and nausea.  More round ligament.  It is crazy to me how early this is happening the second time around.

Looking forward to? Taking family photos & "we're expecting" pictures tomorrow!  I'm also excited about next Friday (July 19) when we have our next doctors appointment.  I'm hoping we'll get to hear our sweet baby's heartbeat.  As long as all goes well at that appointment, we'll probably be ready to go fully public about the pregnancy....if my mother hasn't already made everyone else aware that I'm pregnant already!

10 Weeks

Well, this week was my 28th birthday, and was even more special since it also was the 10 week mark!  I have had my moments of nausea, but overall, I have really felt great this pregnancy.  I'm hoping to schedule an ultrasound at Baby Dimensions in Newnan for sometime in the next week or so, just so we can see our little cutie pie again.

OUR BABY IS THE SIZE OF A PRUNE

How Far Along? 10 Weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss?  1 pound

Maternity Clothes? Some.  I've been wearing a pair of my maternity capris since I'm down to just 1 pair of regular capris that still fit comfortably.  Other than that, I'm still in my regular clothes.

Sleep? I'm still tired more frequently than I would usually be, but I'm napping less, which I hope is a good sign that some of my energy is coming back.  With only a couple weeks left in this trimester, I'm hoping to feel more energized soon!

Cravings?  French Fries & Fruit. Salty things have sounded so good lately, and I have been devouring fruit.  I ate a whole carton of strawberries throughout 1 day last week.

Miss Anything? I still have an aversion to coffee, which makes me sad.  And, I don't know why, but I always seem to crave tuna fish when I'm pregnant too.  I think it's just because I know I'm not supposed to have it.

Movement? Obviously it's too early for me to feel anything, but I think it's super cool just knowing that our sweet baby is in there wiggling around.

Showing yet? Not really.  I can just feel it in my clothes that things are changing.

Belly Button In/Out? In; I expect it to stay this way.  Mine never flattened or poked out with Tenley

Wedding Rings On/Off? On

Happy or Moody?  Really neither....but if I had to choose, I would say that I am erring more on the side of moody.  I'm not really grumpy, but I've just kind of been "blah" for a lot of the time.

Best Moment this Week?  We finally told Tenley on Friday, June 28th that she was going to be a big sister.  She's been talking about the baby, and touching and kissing my belly ever since.  You could say she's a bit excited.

Pregnancy Symptoms? Primarily fatigue and some nausea.  I have still only thrown up twice this whole pregnancy which is a miracle in itself since I would throw up twice in the first hour of being awake each day during my pregnancy with Tenley.

Looking forward to? Scheduling an ultrasound at Baby Dimensions so we can see our sweetie pie again.
