How far along? 18w2d
Weight: 126 this morning.
Symptoms: I just cant get enough sleep.

Stretch marks? Only the ones I came into this pregnancy with.
Sleep? I need more.
Best moment last week? Non baby related. Picking up F from the airport and then going to the Weenie Roast Concert the next day.
Movement? I'm not sure. I am feeling things but I don't know if it is the babe. It does not feel like popcorn popping, or flutters, or bubbles. It feels kinda like scratching from the inside. Strange.
Food cravings/aversions? Craving grapefruit. I have had two this week and they were delish. Aversions....I think strawberries. Strawberries are my favorite fruit. They were on sale this weekend so I bought two things of them and they do not seem appealing. Very weird.
Sex? F says boy. I have no clue.
Belly Button: In
What I miss? The only thing I miss is my husband. I can't wait to pick him up on Friday.
What I am looking forward to? F coming home on Friday and finding out the sex next Friday. I am living for Fridays. LOL
Milestones: Not sure.

Stuff for Baby

This past week my two friends both named Angie gave me little gifts for the baby/baby's room. Angie my best friend ever gave me the little Velveteen Rabbit book from when she was little and the mini mirror. I love lil things. The mini mirror and book are so tiny. The other Angie gave me the Dr. Seuss book (which is also a small book). Love.

We also purchased the Britax B-Agile/B-Safe travel system. I think we got a great deal on it. We went to BRU recently and checked out strollers and carseats and we really liked this travel system. It came this past Monday. It is sitting by the front door still because F does not want me to move it.

The only other thing we have purchased is a SnugaMonkey Rock 'N Play. That is the first thing I bought when I was starting to let myself get excited about the pregnancy back in May. I got it while on sale at target and with a discount code. I think I got a great deal on it too. It was regular price $74.99 on sale for $59.00 then I had the discount code and free shipping code.

That's all for now! :)





17 Weeks

Hello. I'm still here. I have been MIA. To be completely honest...I am having a hard time with the weight gain and have not wanted to take pictures. I feel like I look huge and to me just fat, not pregnant. I never thought I would have such a hard time with this but I am. I mean I have put on A LOT of weight. Like 17 pounds a lot. It is every where. Boobs went from a DD to a G. I can see it my arms, legs, hips, ass and lovely back fat. It is just hard to read what the standards are and I am wayyy past that. Sorry for bitching. I am so thankful to be pregnant. I need to just shut up.

In other news F, accepted a new job which is great for us. The only down side right this second is that he has to be in Pennsylvania for two weeks for training. I am used to him traveling so that is not the issue. I am just not used to it being this long. I dropped him off at the airport on Sunday at 1 and I will pick him up Friday at 9ish. Then he leaves again Sunday and comes back the following Friday.

I sound really whiny today. haha.

Symptoms: sore breasts and RLP.
Maternity clothes: Oh yes! and I need more.
Stretch marks? Not any that I didn't come into this pregnancy with.

Best moment last week? I took a day off of work and F and I went to the movies at this new movie theater by our house. It was super nice.
Movement? Not yet. Although the Dr. asked me and said I should be feeling it soon, like the next couple of weeks soon. I hope so.
Food cravings/aversions? Right now all I can think of is a grapefruit. I had one Sunday and now I can't stop thinking about it. I had some grapefruit juice this morning and that didn't cut it. I also crave buffalo chicken. Fried chicken with buffalo sauce and ranch. I have been curving that with subway's buffalo chicken sandwich.
Gender? I really have no idea. We find out August 9th!
Belly button? In

Milestones: I don't know.

I have been listening to the baby's HB on the doppler for some weeks now. I always find it is the same area. I began to worry that it was a bad thing that baby was always in the same place. A lady posted on my BMB a while back about always finding it in the same general area and there were many responses reassuring that this is normal. Whew. Sunday while using the doppler I found the baby in the normal spot and then it moved. I found it again and then it moved. This happened about three more times. That was a first. :)

Weight: same. 117 - So up about 9 lbs.
Symptoms: My boobs have been very tender and that is about it.
Maternity clothes: I got a few ruched shirts from Target a while back that I love, plus they were only $14.99. This weekend we went the Motherhood Maternity. I tried on a bunch of stuff. I found a pair of shorts that were on sale, some leggings, one pair or work pants and a work shirt. I decided not to get the shorts because while on sale they were still $24.99 and I didn't love them. I also put back the leggings. I loved the leggings and plan on going back for them soon. lol So I got the work pants (I was excited for petite sizes. Woot!) and the work shirt that F picked out.
Stretch marks? Not any that I didn't come into this pregnancy with.
Sleep? I have no problem getting to sleep but I do have problems staying asleep. Between getting up to pee and every little noise waking me up. Ugh. I am also having a hard time staying comfortable.
Best moment last week? We had SEX, finally. I have been to scared to and then we had so much going on.
Movement? Not yet.
Food cravings/aversions? No.
Gender? No guess from me.
Belly button? In
What I miss? Nothing.
What I am looking forward to: The A/S on August 9th!
Milestones: I am not sure....buying my first pair of maternity pants. lol Almost being out of 1st tri any way you calculate it. :) (I considered myself out of 1st tri at 12 weeks) Here is a fun link that shows you the different ways to calculate trimesters.
