Ok so first off WOW! I am soo behind on the blogging front that I dont think I will ever catch up but I am going to try. believe it or not I have a sticky note at home on my computer about all the things I want to blog about. But since I am not at home with my computer full of pics I will just have to post and add pics later! I wont spend to much time updating in this post i will just do a preggo update since I have failed miserably at doing so this whole pregnancy!!! Which I guess is only fair to Will since I started trully blogging after his delivery! So as the title states I am 18 wks ( and some odd days)
My Preggo Tid Bits:
How far along- 18weeks
highlight of the week- making it through it without calling the dr or going to the dr! Yes I hate to say it but the contractions have already started and although I asked for my lovely friend procardia we have not been reunited yet. But seeing as how the contractions have been pretty frequent since they started at 17 weeks I am hoping that I will get my meds when I go to the dr on friday! (p.s for anyone who sees the word contractions and freaks-have no fear they dont dilate me they just have a very strong frequent pattern so either way I would rather NOT have them bc they literally take me off my feet!) But really who was I kidding thinking I would have a normal pregnancy?!?! My bebes just dont like my womb hehe!
weight gain- hmmm well this is tricky as I said before my original apt ( that was before my actual 1st appt-are you following?) I was 153 which was like a miracle in the first place. Well my actual 1st appt i was 156 then the following mth I was 157 and then the next appt I was 159. Well then i went 2 weeks ago ( about the contractions) and I was back down to 156 sooo I guess the answer would be none??? But taking note of my current eating habits and lack there of on the exercise front the number may be way up there come the 28th!
cravings/aversions
As I just stated my appetite is NOT lacking thats for sure. Still loving me some caffeine which I know is terrible but I totally break for fountain cokes!!! My taco bell cravings have slowed down. I was on a Lennys kick there for a minute and now pretty much any food will do. the nausea has slacked up so it has definitely allowed for an increased appetite. Nothing really sounds gross I just prefer somethings over others. On a healthy note I am loving some apples!!!!
maternity clohes- I am still wearing all my jeans/pants but my shirts are getting a little snug so I have busted out the ruched side maternity tops (I am kinda sorta obsessed with them and couldnt wait to have enough belly to fit into them)
gender- We find out the 28th if we choose to find out then. We have a few secrets up our sleeves about revealing the gender so I guess everyone will have to wait and see. As far as a feeling I have mixed reviews. I originally thought girl but then dreamed I had another boy and now I feel like its a girl again so who knows!! Will continues to say he is having a sister so we will see???
movement- unfortunately NO which makes me super sad, I cannot wait to feel lots of tiny kicks. I felt Will pretty early if I remember correctly like 16-17 weeks but this time I havent been so lucky but hopefully the kicks will come soon.
nursery- this baby and Will are going to be sharing a room ( thanks to our tiny east memphis home and its 3 bedrooms) and with that being said all the furniture I have put in the room is white except for my black crib. So I am now on the hunt for a white ( jenny lind) crib. So if anyone knows where I can find one?! I dont have a particular theme in mind. Will has pottery barn bedding so if its a boy i will get the matching set and if its a girl I will simply use creams and khakis. Im not one much for pink girly fru fru stuff ( to each their own)
I think thats about it. Our big US is the 28th. More importantly than finding out if we are having a boy or girl I cannot wait to see our little nugget on the screen and hopefully see that he/she is perfectly healthy and well on his/her way to having a wonderful entry into this world.
On the agenda for tomm taking pics of my little man is some tall cotton. Maybe I can get a belly shot then. and later in the afternoon its pumpkin patch time with Will, Daddy and Mommy. We have to pick some winners to carve :)
So until I post again...
