Baby Bump: 19 weeks

After a day of dryer shopping (yep, our damn dryer took a shit) the first thing I did when we walked in the door was ripped off my uncomfortably tight shorts and threw on comfy pj pants and a sweatshirt. Stella did the same ;) Hence the reason we are both in cozy clothes in my weekly picture.

Yay to kicking off football season! Just another reason I am a sucker for fall! The only thing that was missing while watching the game was a frosty Stella Cidre in my hand! Other exciting news...if baby cooperates, next chalkboard will reveal the gender! That also means we will be half way there!

How far along: 19 weeks

Gender: Sept 12th it is! Drum roll please.......

Weight gain: Not sure of weight gain. Guessing somewhere between around 8/9 lbs. 

Maternity clothes: Not yet.

Stretch marks: No

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: I would kill for a good night sleep right now. 

Best moment this week:Football has officially started!

Worst moment this week:Again- didn't really have one but super tired this week. Missed three days worth of walks because of the crappy humidity!

Miss anything:  I am dieing for a frosty pumpkin ale or a Stella Cidre!

Movement: Yep! Mainly at night though. I think because I am constantly on the move with Stella I don't pay much mind to the movements during the day.

Cravings: Nope. Just enjoying pumpkin Everything- yogurt, ice cream, lattes, candles, lotions...

Queasy or sick: Feeling good.

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender!! Less than 1 week! Boy or Girl?!? Still feeling boyish...

 This picture shows the bump a bit more than the one with Stella and I :)

Baby Bump: 17 Weeks

Time is really flying by. It's hard to believe that in three weeks we will know the gender (if he or she decides to cooperate of course) and we will be half way! Eek! It is also VERY hard to believe that my little babe is going to be 1 year old in just one month. I will officially be a Momma of a toddler! 

How far along: 17 weeks

Gender: Sept. 15 is the magic date :) 

Weight gain: Not sure. As of 16 weeks it was 4.5 lbs, I am sure it's a bit more than that

Maternity clothes: Not yet...definitely rocking cozy clothes around the house and wearing my belly band with some of my shorts now. 

Stretch marks: No

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: Sleep has been really shitty lately. Not sure what to blame it on. 

Best moment this week:  Holding Stella in her glider while she drank her nightly milk cap and feeling the baby fluttering in my belly.  my two babies..xoxo

Worst moment this week: Having a cabinet shelf of salad plates and mugs come crashing down on me. We have only 4 lonely mug survivors. a small part of me always wanted mismatched mugs.

Miss anything:  Looking at a menu with sushi on it while out for lunch this week made me crave a salmon roll...yumm

Movement: Flutters, flutters and more flutters. Also think I felt my first little love kick. 

Cravings: Sweets! Anything sweet! Favorite fruits have been Gala apples and red grapes. Some of my other favorites lately have been Noosa pumpkin yoghurt-pure heaven, V8 lemonade, and Turkey Hill Light Extreme cookies n' cream ice cream. 

Queasy or sick: Feeling good.

Looking forward to: Packages arriving this week of items I ordered for Stella's birthday party!!

Baby Bump: 15 weeks

Stella's easel it is! My own chalkboard is not done, but the playroom is! That is a huge check on my list of things to get done! Stella loves her playroom! The only thing left to get for her playroom is her teepee which Rick and I are getting her for her birthday. Shh...it's a surprise! ;)

How far along: 15 weeks

Gender: We will find out Sept. 15 :) I wonder what's brewing inside....

Weight gain: Not sure of weight gain. I will find out Thursday...eek!

Maternity clothes: Not yet. 

Stretch marks: No

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: Sleep is okay. Stella has been on a 6 a.m. wake up call lately..ugh!

Best moment this week:  Rick and I had our second date night out since little miss was born. Back to Ryland Inn for our anniversary! The food was so damn good.

Worst moment this week: Practically on my hands and knees in the mulch in the food store parking lot searching for my diamond earring that fell out. I was not leaving without it! (I did find it!)

Miss anything:  An old-fashion from the Ryland Inn. Was very jealous watching Rick sip one down at dinner. I think I might have been drooling... ;)

Movement: Felt a few flutters again this week. Enjoy your flipping and tumbling in there little bean while there is room. 

Cravings: Nothing out of the ordinary. Give me something sweet and I am good to go. Gummy bears or fro yo?! 

Queasy or sick: Feeling good.

Looking forward to: More cool morning post breakfast walks this week. 

Baby Bump: 13 weeks

So my list of DIY projects right now is simply out of control. One that I am working on is a framed chalkboard for myself to document the weeks to take with the bump pictures. Clearly by it's absence in this picture, it is not done yet. I really hope to have it done for next weekend. So excuse this boring ass bump picture #1 and it's shitty quality ;)

How far along: 13 weeks

Sleep: Sleeping okay. Was never a great sleeper anyway. 

Best moment this week: Finally entering the second trimester :) Adios to morning sickness! And we took a family trip to our twelve week ultrasound and saw the little bean having a dance party in my belly :)

Worst moment this week: Coming home to a mess left by the dog...after a 15 minute trip to the market! It was meltdown city over here.
