16w4d and Baby is officially a BOY!



How far along are you? This picture is from yesterday. I am 16w5d today.

How big is baby?  An avocado...makes me want some guacamole :P

Maternity clothes?  Mat pants and a few maternity T's from target, still wearing most of my tops though.

Weight loss or gain?  I actually weighed less at my Peri appt yesterday than I did at my OB appt last week... I assume this is just a difference in the scale. I don't think I've gained though.

Stretchmarks?  Nada.

Sleep?  Falling asleep is easy, but I am waking up several times a night to pee. 


Best moment this week? Finding out that baby is definitely a boy at our appt yesterday!



Any movement?  no

Food cravings?  baked potatoes!

Food aversions?  still ground beef, vom.

Belly button in or out? still in.

What do you miss?  my energy!

What are you looking forward to?  Can't wait until Friday at 3:01pm so I can enjoy my holiday break! I want to sleeeep!

What was the BEST part of this week?  Peri appt and coming home to find a sweet surprise from a friend in WI. Baby C got his first outfit and bib set. LOVE!




What is the WORST part of this week?  I was lying in bed to fall alseep on Monday night and was suddenly overcome with a strong wave of nausea... I sat up to try and take a zofran, but couldnt contain it and had to make a mad dash to the bathroom and threw up. I thought I was past this sort of thing!?


Milestones:  We made it facebook official yesterday... wow!

How big is baby?  An ORANGE!

Maternity clothes?  maternity pants mostly. I bought a pair of mat leggings for target that I am in love with! I also discovered Charming Charlies this past weekend when I was out with my friend. They have some cute tunic style tops that I plan to rock as I get bigger. 

Weight loss or gain?  Didn't weigh myself this week yet, but I don't think I've gained anything really.

Stretchmarks?  Nada.

Sleep?  I slept through the night without getting up to go to the bathroom the last two nights....hooray for small miracles!

Any movement?  no

What do you miss?  my energy!

What are you looking forward to?  Our next U/S on the 19th. Having two weeks off over Christmas!

What was the BEST part of this week?  Lots of holiday parties at work and no students around. It's been pretty relaxing at work.

What is the WORST part of this week?  Totally starting gagging from brushing my teeth on Monday and ended up throwing up.... not a good way to kick off the week.

Milestones:  I'm officially out at work... crazy!

14w4d

I've been such a bad blogger. I've just been so tired, and didn't really have the energy to type #firstworldproblems, lol.

All has been well these last few weeks. We had our NT scan the day before Thanksgiving, and baby was measuring a day ahead and looked perfect. The tech told us that she would be "SHOCKED if baby were not a boy" so for now, we are tentatively TEAM BLUE. That being said, I am not running out to buy anything yet.

I'm officially out at work. I told the Dean of my department on Monday. I'm not really comfortable chatting all about my pregnancy so I haven't gone around telling people, but it's not a secret anymore. I know that I have had several colleagues from other departments ask my boss if I was expecting... so my blump must be getting kind of noticeable!

Here we are at 14w4d!


How far along are you? 14w4d

How big is baby?  A lemon

Maternity clothes?  I've been sporting maternity pants for a while, but the top and sweater are just my regular size... looking a little tight though! 

Weight loss or gain?  I'm up about 3-4 lbs.

Stretchmarks?  None.

Sleep?  All I want to do is nap still. If I make it up past 9pm it's a HUGE deal. I am requiring a lot of ZZZ's to grow a human.
Best moment this week? I think I may have felt some tummy flutters on Tuesday night, but I am not sure... could have been gas!


Any movement?  see above.

Food cravings?  buffalo chicken salads from Steve's downstairs from my office. Apple Juice is suddenly delicious too. 

Food aversions?  ground beef, vom.

Belly button in or out? still in.

What do you miss?  Energy to make it past 9pm!

What are you looking forward to?  Our next U/S on the 19th. I'd like to confirm that he is still a HE before Christmas!

What was the BEST part of this week?  Laughing with my husband last night on the couch while browsing strollers online. Anytime I listen to BC's HB on the doppler.

What is the WORST part of this week?  I can't think of anything. 

Milestones:  Everyday, I tell myself that I am further than I've ever been! Just trying to relax and enjoy this adventure. :)
