21 Weeks Today!


























How far along: 21 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: +1lb total.

Maternity clothes: Yup, working on finding more that are work appropriate.

Stretch marks: Nope....

Sleep: Some night better then others.

Best moment this week: Getting to see the little bean! Rolling around and punching! Bean totally didn't like the ultrasound at all!

Movement: Yup! The Bean has been kicking and punching me for about 2 weeks now! Crazy!

Food Cravings: Still loving my bagel with Cream Cheese, Avacado's and hummus have been biggies too.

Food Aversions: Seems to be getting much better. Still some days where stuff just doesn't sound good, but overall anything goes!

Gender: Still no thoughts on this.

Belly Button: still in...hoping it stays that way for a long time.

What I miss: Sushi! We went to Japanese food for my birthday dinner and I got Hibachi for the first time! Usually I get sushi and just eat off Tim's plate the stuff he doesn't eat (shrimp, onions etc). No such luck this time!

What I am looking forward to: New Year's with the sisters and family! Cannot wait!

Weekly Wisdom: Still working on the Drink, Drink, Drink thing!

Milestones: Half way done!


And, for just a little fun.......a picture of the little bean!


Love you guys!

19 weeks and counting!








How far along: 19 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: No idea

Maternity clothes: Yup. Comfy Comfy Comfy!

Stretch marks: Nope....

Sleep: All right....until I caught a cold and can't breathe!

Best moment this week: REALLY starting to feel the bean tapping more consistently too... so cool.

Movement: yup, little taps and flutters here and there!

Food Cravings: Bagel with Cream Cheese, Potatoes....mmmm carbs :-)

Food Aversions: Anything that doesn't sound good the second time. :-) This hasn't changed

Gender: No idea....people are still guessing left and right.

Belly Button: still in.

What I miss: Still clothing....I miss some of my favorite shirts and pants and look at the same ole maternity clothes every day! Boring!

What I am looking forward to: U/S and Dr's appointment on Tuesday. We get to see the bean actually looking like a baby! Well at least we hope it looks like a baby!!

Weekly Wisdom: Do not get sick while pregnant! Ha! But seriously....coughing makes me feel sick....

Milestones: Half way there! I can't believe we are already in the second half.


On a better note, the Hypermesis seems to have calmed down a bit. I am beginning to like food a little better!


Keep the good thoughts coming our way! Can't wait to see a bunch of you in a few weeks!


Love you guys!

How far along: 18 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Dunno...we don't own a scale and I still haven't been to the doctor since last update.

Maternity clothes: Yup, Comfy comfy comy!

Stretch marks: Nope....

Sleep: Still not my friend. Getting better but still waking up at about 3 each morning. Fun, really.

Best moment this week: Feeling the baby! Little butterfly flutters!

Movement: See above!!!

Food Cravings: So far, only creamy pasta....had pasta three nights in a row trying to fill this need!

Food Aversions: eh, this goes day by day.

Gender: Still no thoughts on this...Liz is still convinced its a girl and now Nate thinks so too!

Belly Button: still in.

What I miss: Not having to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom!

What I am looking forward to: The weekend....the countdown to my birthday....countdown to seeing the seesters again!

Weekly Wisdom: Eat when hungry. I have figured out that if I even put it off for 10 minutes the hunger feeling might pass and then food just seems yucky

Milestones: Really starting to show this week. People who I work with have been noticing.
