Week 18

We went for our 18 week ultrasound and are very happy to say that everything couldn't have gone better!  The baby looks great...the doctor even told us that our baby was really cute!  Look at that profile!

tidbits....

1. Maternity Clothes:  Yes. Refuse to buy shorts at this point...
2. Stretch Marks:  No.
3. Sleep: Oh the back pain...
4. Miss Anything?  Blue Moon
5. Movement: I think I might, but not sure.  The doctor said my placenta is in the front...I think this means it might be harder to feel movement.
6. Food Cravings:  Cereal-Peanut Butter Crunch this week!
7. Anything making you queasy or sick? no
8. Showing yet? Looking thick...I feel like people are looking at me and saying, "She has put on some weight!"
9. Gender:  We had the opportunity to find out.  It was so hard to close our eyes and not ask when we could.  We won't find out until Thanksgiving!  My mom was ready to peak at the ultrasound...good job for not looking Ma!
10. Mood:  happy and relieved that everything is going very well!  Yay!!

Week 17

I am starting a little late, but it is better late than never...right?  It is week 17 and I am feeling great.  I am very nervous for my big ultrasound next week, but am really trying to stay positive.  I want to enjoy this journey as much as possible!  

                                                                       

tidbits...

1. Maternity Clothes:  Yes.  Thanks to Jeff, every time he stops at Kohl's, he raids the maternity section.  Now what kind of hubby would do that...mine!
2. Stretch Marks:  No...I am hoping the big glump (is that a word?) of Burt's Bees Mamma Bee Belly Butter does the trick.  Fingers crossed!
3. Sleep: Sore subject! Back pain is my only complaint at this point, and boy is it bad!!
4. Miss Anything?  Not gonna lie...with the weather warm and my vacation just beginning, the only thing missing is a nice cold Blue Moon with an orange.  Oh how I wish they would make a non-alcoholic version!
5. Movement: no :(
6. Food Cravings:  cereal-Fruity Pebbles
7. Anything making you queasy or sick? no
8. Showing yet? a little...just looking thick
9. Gender:  not known
10. Mood:  happy and thankful

Oh Baby!

And so it begins...

Jeff and I have finally made it to this point and we are so excited!!!!  It has been a tough adventure so far in the past several years, but through it all we have learned, gotten tougher, and will be better parents from it all!  I am so excited to document our baby adventure (trust me when I say I rarely document anything) and I was inspired to do this through another blog I saw.  So...thanks Jessica and http://littlebabygarvin.blogspot.com/ !

 I am sooooooooooo happy to officially say this!!!!
