Update: 18 Weeks!

Merry Christmas!  Happy New Year!  Life has been crazy as usual.  I actually can't wait to get back to school so we can resume some kind of "normal" schedule.  We didn't do Christmas cards this year because we ran out of time, money and energy.  Sorry.  Maybe next year!  I also am working on calling people still for Christmas! 

Here's a baby update! 

How far along are you? 

18 weeks!

Total weight gain? 

Umm... I think 3lbs so far, but I look bigger.  So, none of my pants fit me anymore!

Baby Information?
Baby is measuring at exactly 18 weeks.  Very active!!!  I feel little pokes every now and then from the inside, but can't feel anything when I put my hand on my belly.  

Any doctor news?

Blood pressure is better, so I'm not as dizzy.  Baby's heart rate sounds good!

Best moment ?

Lucas hearing the baby's heartbeat for the first time.  He got the biggest smile on his face!

Worst moment ?

I still have the crazy mood swings.  The other bad moment was my ultrasound getting postponed.  Thankfully, we have a friend who totally hooked us up so we could still find out what we were having!

Stretch Marks?
Knock on wood, no. I'm all about the cocoa butter!

 Gender? 

Unless something magically falls down in the next 10 days, we're having a GIRL!!!!!
 

Sleep?
We've been going from place to place on vacation, so I've been sleeping on pull out beds... and couches when Scott's and Lucas' snoring gets to be too much!

Food cravings or aversions?
No real cravings right now.  Just hungry.  All. The. Time.

What I miss?

Wine.  Yes, I still miss wine.  Its the Holidays... ha ha!
 

What I'm looking forward to?

Cleaning the house.  Getting farther along so I can plan a cute, girly room!  Scott wants a princess theme.  I vetoed that.

Update: 14 Weeks

No picture just yet... Maybe in a couple of weeks :)

How far along are you? 

14 weeks!

Total weight gain? 

Umm... I think 2lbs so far.  I'm able to fit into all of my non-maternity shirts (not the tank tops, though... ouch).  Pants are tough.  I've been using my beBand a lot!

Baby Information?
There is just 1... thank goodness!

Any doctor news?

Nope.  I go again on December 4th.

Best moment ?

Telling family via picture message of the 1st sonogram!

Worst moment ?

This pregnancy has not been as easy as the first.  I've been crazy nauseous all day long, and borderline narcoleptic.  I told my sister that if I didn't know what was actually going on with my body, I'd swear I had developed mono!  My mood has also been out of control.  Crazy mood swings.  Yesterday, by 5:00 I was ready to strangle someone... I can't even remember what put me in that mood in the first place!

Stretch Marks?
Knock on wood, no. I'm not very big.  I just look like I've had a few extra cupcakes right now.

 Gender? 

Won't know until (hopefully) December 28th!
 

Sleep?
It has been okay.  I go to bed REALLY early lately. My hearing has been super sensitive, so silly little noises wake me!

Food cravings or aversions?
Chili's chicken enchilada soup. Milk. Aversions... hmm... the smell of certain brands of hot dogs are pretty nauseating right now.

What I miss?

Wine.  
 

What I'm looking forward to?

Finding out what we are having, the morning all day sickness to go away, and to regain normal amounts of concioussness!
