16 Weeks

 Then

Now


Current Update:

Weight:  No change

Stretch marks: Nope

Sleep: I could sleep ALL DAY.  I'm sleeping well through the night, but I would love a few more hours.  And a nap.

Gender: A surprise!

Movement: I felt a quick jab a few nights ago and nothing since. 

Best moment this week: Hearing that beautiful heartbeat.

Looking forward to: #wiggydiggy's birthday party and Hawaii!!

Food cravings: Nothing.  I hate food.

What I miss: I really wanted a Sam Adams Winter Lager at Thanksgiving.  I also really want some frozen daiquiri's when I'm on the beach....

Symptoms: Small bump and tired.  Always tired.

Workouts: Light weights, lots of squats.  Still doing some abs while I can.

Things that suck: Not liking food, not getting to take H.O.T. baths with a glass of wine

Things that don't suck: Kisses from #wiggydiggy on my belly.  Melt my heart!

Weeks 14 and 15


I almost forgot this photo - I had to get out of bed, out of my pajamas, and brush my hair.  Just for this.


Where is the time going?  It's still surreal that baby #2 is on their way.  Most days I don't *feel* pregnant.  Just tired.  Very very tired.


Current Update:

Weight:  Food aversion has kicked in hard core so I'm down a few pounds.

Stretch marks: Nope

Sleep: I'm ready for bed by 7, but don't make it there until after 8.  Most nights I wake up around 3 for a half hour or so before falling back asleep

Gender: We aren't finding out :)

Movement: I swear I felt the baby roll against the very front of my uterus the other night.   Though...could have been gas.

Best moment this week: Barre class and girls night with Amy.

Looking forward to: Thanksgiving!  And Hawaii!!

Food cravings: Food is gross.  I'm mostly eating fruit, but I would be fine not eating at all.

What I miss: Nothing so far.

Symptoms: (Most of the) BLOAT IS GONE!  Hallelujah!!  Man, those few weeks were ROUGH.
I'm also tired.  Very tired.

Workouts: Light weights, lots of squats.  Still doing some abs while I can.

Things that suck: My head cold.  GGGRRRR.  I'm also forcing myself to drink a Carnation Instant Breakfast every morning.  Something is better than nothing, right?

Things that don't suck: Maternity Leggings from Loft.  I plan on living in these.  I also have a larger size that will get busted out in the third trimester.  God Bless Ponte.

Weekend Update

 Friday started with the biggest and brightest rainbow I've ever seen.  Photos don't even come close to doing it justice.

from my office window

Saturday we stuck close to home and worked on knocking a few projects out.
Our front door still needed trim.  Lowe's was out of our header the last time we went so Justin picked up a few on Saturday morning.  I packed.  And packed.  Then did laundry and finished packing!  Ha.

Door post coming soon!

Sunday was a day FULL of birthday parties.  #wiggydiggy's classmate turned 3, so we helped her celebrate in the morning.  Lil bug was the only boy there!  That didn't stop him from jumping right on into the game of dress up and he rocked being 'Owlette'.



That night was our niece's 5th birthday party and my sister in law always makes the best birthday meals.  I was grateful that baby was hungry!  I haven't eaten a real, full meal, in over a week.

Happy Thanksgiving week!!

Love,
Laura
