Hi friends! Thanks for sticking with me during my hiatus. Making a baby and buying a house is HARD WORK! But I hope to do a better job staying up to date. (PS...see my original post about how terrible I am at this!)
But first. Today marks the 12 week mark! Our little bug is the size of a plum! I've stolen this little blurb from Jessica Garvin (www.littlebabygarvin.blogspot.com) because I LOVE, love, love her blog. If you haven't been to her blog before, go visit. She is a doll and so are her two perfect babes!
So here goes:
How far along? 12 Weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: Still down from pre-pregnancy weight--is it from my lack of boozing?Maternity clothes? Not yet, but I think may be headed that way soon. Sticking with my yoga pants, maxi dresses, and long skirts for now! I did buy a BeBand from Target which I LOVE, but don't so much love the way they fit right now!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Just this week, I've slept good for the first few hours and then wake up around 3 am with my back hurting and squirm around trying to get comfortable. But WHEN I sleep? It's good stuff.
Best moment this week: Getting our hammock set up in our new back yard, and an incredibly tasty dinner with my mom and Bob! (Pics below)
Have you told family and friends: Yes!Miss Anything? Beer, beer, beer. I literally salivated when Andy bought Bud Light Lime this week. He also wanted Dos Equis with a lime, and I had to draw the line. There's only so much delicious temptation I can handle right now.
Movement: Not yet
Food cravings: All things lemon, including lemonade, strawberry lemonade, and lemon La Croix. I can't get enough. Oh, and bean burritos.Anything making you queasy or sick: This week? Only brushing my teeth. In weeks past, I've had some tummy ickies related to any kind of meat, but it's getting better!
Have you started to show yet: I'm thinking no, but who knows. Can't tell if it's baby or my beer gut I had before pregnancy. I like to pretend it's my baby bump, though!
Gender prediction: Ramzi method would predict we are having a girl, Chinese Gender prediction says we're having a boy.
Labor Signs: NoBelly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! I did have a moody episode Friday--good thing I was working home alone!
Weekly Wisdom: Drink water. LOTS of it. It's my focus for the week, too.
Looking forward to: Getting a bigger bump and finding out the gender! And seeing our sweet little bug at our ultrasound Tuesday! (And kissing this nausea goodbye!)
For the fun part of the week? At our old place we had these two AWESOME trees that were perfect for our hammock. At our new house? NO TREES IN OUR BACK YARD. AT ALL. So we improvised. And voila--our own little piece of heaven again!
And then last night, my wonderful mother and her husband chose to share a work award/reward she earned by taking Hubs and me out to a swanky restaurant. I got a chicken dish with bacon and potatoes, Hubs got duck leg and potatoes, and my Mama and Bob shared a plate of short ribs and mashed potatoes. This place also had the most DELICIOUS fries and pork belly sliders (oops, no pictures of those). Finally, we had this SUPERYUMMYTOTALLYAMAZING dessert. It was like a chocolate pie thing, but not, I can't even find the words to accurately describe it. But three different textures including a brownie thing at the bottom, orange in the middle, and silky chocolate on top. AND vanilla bean ice cream. AND candied orange on top. AND warm fudge on the bottom of the plate. I'm not a sweets girl, but this shiz was SOOOOOOOO good. Like heaven. So if you're in CoMo, check out Sycamore. I was highly impressed.
I hope you each have something to look forward to this week as well! XO
