14 weeks!


How far along? 14weeks, 5days
Baby is as big as a? NAVEL ORANGE
Maternity clothes? Nope
Sleep: I feel wonderful! I've got more accomplished in the last week than in the last 10 combined! Now being able to sleep at night is a whole other story...
Best moment this week: Jesse and I making our first tiny (gender neutral) baby purchase! I can't wait to go on a shopping spree for our little one. Not until after May 14th though.
Most "pregnant" moment this week: Not a moment but more of a pregnancy theme of the week.... EMOTIONAL!!! I have cried 6 out of the 7 last days. So ridiculous. Mostly it's all centered around pregnancy conversations... not quite to the crying over commercial point yet.
Have you told family and friends: Everyone knows! Including work. It's so fun being about to tell everyone!
Miss Anything? Going 24 hours without crying
Movement: Nope
Food cravings: Candy and ice cream. Jesse did his first 9:30pm ice cream run a couple days ago.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not at all!! yay!
Have you started to show yet: A little bump. I woke up one day and it was there. But it's still definitely a "too many cupcakes" bump.
Gender prediction: Craving sweets means girl right?!Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy when I'm not reaching for tissues
Looking forward to: Feeling the baby move. It's still a little early for that but I can't wait for that day to come.

14 weeks, 1 day
14 weeks, 6 days

*I obviously get bored on my layovers and take pictures of my belly in my hotel rooms*

13 weeks!

Our little family is expanding by two feet in September!

How far along? 13 Weeks, 3 Days
Baby is as big as a? PEACH
Maternity clothes? Not yet. But I can't keep my top button of my jeans buttoned anymore!
Sleep: I can't get out of bed before noon but I've been having more energy all week
Best moment this week: Our ultrasound today! Hearing the baby's heartbeat was the most beautiful sound in the whole world!!!!
Most "pregnant" moment this week: Waking up in the middle of the night just to eat a bowl of cereal in bed then falling back asleep
Have you told family and friends: We shared it with the world today!!!!!
Miss Anything? Drinking coffee 24/7
Movement: Not yet
Food cravings: Candy and pizza rolls!!!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Salads are still a touchy thing for me. So far this week I've ate two successfully and one made me ill!
Have you started to show yet: A little bump so far - basically looks like I ate a few too many cupcakes
Gender prediction: I'm kinda heartbroken to say this but I'm thinking boy. I keep calling the baby a he.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! But today I totally full out cried in the doctors office after talking about how I will have to have a c-section. A little random moment.
Looking forward to: Being free to tell whoever I want our big news :)



Ernie had the privilege of telling Jesse's parents our news
And Bentley helped us tell two of our sister-in-laws

12 weeks



How far along? 12 Weeks, 2 Days
Baby is as big as a? PLUM
Maternity clothes? Not yet. But it was a little hard to button my jeans!
Sleep: I have more energy overall this week (starting at about 10 weeks actually) but I still find myself taking naps every day and not being able to do too much around the house before I need a break!
Best moment this week: Jesse, Ernie & I going out to take our announcement picture! I found the idea on Pinterest and I'm so excited with how it turned out
Most "pregnant" moment this week: Probably this morning with the pants button thing

Have you told family and friends: I think tomorrow we are going to add our sister-in-laws in on the loop! They are in town so we will get to tell them in person
Miss Anything? taking my scolding hot showers and sitting under my heating blanket for hours!
Movement: Not yet
Food cravings: Candy and mac n cheese
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular- I just feel a little sick after every meal... no matter what it is
Have you started to show yet: Not really- I think my stomach is just getting more round and hard-- but I don't think it's noticeable at all yet.
Gender prediction: nadaHappy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Well, happy-ish.
Looking forward to: Our next ultrasound!!!!! It was suppose to be moved today but got moved to FRIDAY!!!! My mom's reaction: "Did you pray for patience? NEVER EVER DO THAT!!! He will give you an opportunity to learn it!!!!" Haha. So true. The best part is that last night I did pray about the appointment and how I know everything is in God's hands and to help me be more patient, trusting, and to have more faith in His plan. So I guess this is my answered prayer ;)
