When life gives you lemons...week 14!



So we're on week 14 now! It's been a busy couple of weeks for us that's for sure. Last week i had i think a total of five holiday parties! Let's just say i was pretty whooped by the end of the week. I went from not going out at all to being up late almost every day. I did have a three day weekend which really helped me catch up on christmas shopping and cleaning around the house. 

So not much new is going on in baby-land. I'm feeling a lot better and my appetite seems to be starting to ramp up. Sometimes i don't feel like i'm eating enough, but i guess you only really need 300 extra calories a day. That isn't much when you think about it, it's about two yogurts. I think i'm starting to get a tiny belly ( I promise i'll post pics soon, when we take some!) Supposedly in the next couple weeks i should officially pop out so we'll see. I bought my first maternity clothes this weekend. We were at burlington coat factory and they had maternity jeans for $15 bucks. They fit pretty good , so i got two pair. I'm hoping that will be enough to last me.

We've been discussing names a lot lately. It's been hard narrowing them down, but i think we have a few girls and boys names that we like so far. I'm not going to reveal them just yet tho, sorry :-)

Everyone have a great holiday! 

12 Weeks!

I hit the 12 week mark this past thursday..whoohoo, 3 months! I still have one official week of my first trimester tho! I had another doctors appointment on friday. I got to hear the heartbeat again which was awesome! It was a racing 169bpm! In about 6 weeks or so we should be able to find out if we're having a boy or girl!! I can't wait! We've been trying to decide on names, but i think it will be a little easier once we can focus on a certain gender. I just can't wait to start planning...picking out room colors and registering for baby gear!

Well another weekend is gone...and another work week starts tomorrow! Fortunately the holidays are coming up, so there are quite a few parties this week to make the week go by fast! I also have a couple days off xmas week, so i can relax and get some stuff done around the house!

I'm off to bed, goodnight!

11 Weeks!

Yesterday marked my 11th week milestone. It seemed like it would be forever until i was towards the end of my first trimester, but now it's right around the corner. It's exciting to be almost 1/3 of the way there! It's also a countdown until we can see if we're having a boy or girl, which should be around 20 weeks or so (hopefully a few weeks sooner than that :-)) I can't wait to find out what we're having...mostly so i can start SHOPPING!!

So, i'm continually feeling better and better as the weeks go by..THANK GOD! If you ask me what i'm hungry for, I still couldn't really give you an answer, but I think that's slowly getting better. I've been pretty tired this week too. Coming off of Thanksgiving break, it was hard to adjust to the busy work day. But, today is friday and I finally have a couple days to sleep in and relax.
