16 Week Bumpdate

How far along? 16 weeks

Weight Gain? Still don’t really know...

Size of baby? “Dill pickle”

Maternity Clothes? The bump is still pretty itty bitty so everything still fits comfortably.

Pregnancy Symptoms? The itchy skin is under control this week, thank heavens! I was LOSING it last week. Haha. Things have been pretty mellow in regards to symptoms.  

Sleep? Still comfortable! Which is good cause I am constantly tired and need as much sleep as I can get!

Cravings? For the first time in weeks I felt like I NEEDED chocolate. It has been so weird not wanting chocolate for this long and even weirder when the craving hit me all at once! I felt like if i didn’t get some chocolate ice cream with oreos or some hot brownies with cold milk I was going to lose my mind! But then when Kendal was at the store getting some supplies to ease my crazy cravings I made some dinner to occupy my mind, and the smell of chicken made me feel barfy and by the time I actually had my hands on the goodies from the store I didn’t even want it anymore :( Pregnancy… you do strange things to me.

Anything making you queasy? I still get pretty queasy if I don’t eat a snack every 2 hours or so but other than that there hasn’t been anything specific that makes me feel sick. Minus that night with the chicken I mentioned above haha

Gender Prediction? I have been so certain I am having a boy but we were talking with a couple at a friend’s wedding reception who just had a baby boy and she told me she was certain she was having a girl! Now I am wondering what is going to happen at the big ultrasound in a few weeks!

Baby movement? Nope! I bet that won’t happen until after 20 weeks… when maybe (hopefully) I am showing a little more and baby is a little bigger!

Best moment this week? I have felt pretty normal this week besides the usual tiredness. That was probably the best because I kind of felt like I had my body back!

Weird pregnancy moment? Being hit with the chocolate needs out of nowhere was pretty odd after all these weeks of wanting nothing to do with the sort!

What I’m looking forward to? As usual, I can’t wait until our big gender reveal to see what’s cookin in there! AND to feel those first movements of course :) I just hope I can actually recognize what I am feeling when the time does come!

15 Week Bumpdate

How far along? 15 weeks

Weight Gain? Unsure… probably won’t really know until my next doctor's appointment in 5 weeks! Haha

Size of baby? “Hass Avocado” My favorite! ;)

Maternity Clothes? Nothing. My bump isn’t poppin’ quite enough yet!

Pregnancy Symptoms? THE ITCHIEST SKIN OF MY WHOLE LIFE! Haha seriously I thought I was going to lose my mind. Super itchy belly, back, scalp and nipples! TMI is totally normal here folks. It’s a pregnant blog after all. Hahah

Sleep? Great! I only have to get up once in the middle of the night to pee compared to the 2+ times in earlier weeks!

Cravings? Nothing out of the ordinary!

Anything making you queasy? Nothing makes me feel super sick… but the thought of sweets and chocolates is still out for me! Maybe this will last me whole pregnancy?

Gender Prediction? Boy because I want all the salty things!

Baby movement? Nada

Best moment this week? Friends and family congratulating us on our big announcement and being able to talk about this big secret freely!

Weird pregnancy moment? The itchy skin was pretty weird and I still haven't noticed any significant changes in my belly, so even though I know my skin must be stretching I still can’t see much of a bump yet!

What I’m looking forward to? Looking obviously pregnant instead of just kind of chubby. Haha!

14 Week Bumpdate

How far along? 14 weeks

Weight Gain? No significant changes!

Size of baby? A “brilliant beet". Haha I love the descriptions my app gives me.

Maternity Clothes? Nothing yet! But if I wear any of my tighter jeans, baby gets reaaaal uncomforable… making mama reaaaaal uncomfortable and crampy.

Pregnancy Symptoms? Feeling almost symptom free! The biggest issues this week were growing pains. Not fun, but much better than others!

Must have items?

• Food every 2 hours or so to keep nausea away.

Sleep? Sleep has been good! Not waking up as much to use the restroom. Maybe only once a night!

Cravings? My homemade ground turkey/ spinach meatballs!

Anything making you queasy? It doesn’t necessarily make me queasy… but my chocolate aversions are throwing my identity totally out of whack! Seriously, I never thought I would turn down a chocolate chip cookie… but ickkk that is so unappetizing to me! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!

Gender Prediction? I will believe this baby is a boy until a doctor with an ultrasound tells me otherwise!

Baby movement? Too early… but I CAN NOT WAIT for this moment!

Best moment this week? My cute friend Amanda is pregnant too and she and I went out to grab sorbet and it was so wonderful talking to her about all things baby!

Weird pregnancy moment? We announced our pregnancy over social media which was so much fun but it was also so weird to read everyone's comments and know that our big secret was officially out of the bag! Knowing I was pregnant and having a baby was one thing, but being acknowledged by everyone else was like WOAH... I am having an actually HUMAN!

What I’m looking forward to? Actually looking pregnant instead of just a little chubby. Haha!
