18 Week Bumpdate...of Our Little GIRL!

   Yes, yes.  I'm still on cloud 9 knowing that I'm having a daughter.  I look at the ultrasound pictures, especially the 3D ones, every day.  I analyze the 3D ones, knowing that that is what she'll look like when she comes out, just a little more filled out.  One of my co-workers had my doctor when she was pregnant with her son, and she told me that the 3D ones show what she'll look like when she comes out; but, she'll be a little more filled out.  When I look at our little girl, I definitely see a lot of me, and I can FOR SURE see some Tyson.  She most definitely has my little nose....that I can't wait to kiss.  Every time I study it and shout to Tyson what I see, he goes, "I cannot tell ANYTHING from those things!  Looks like an alien to me!"  Well, Tyson, she doesn't look like an alien to me!  She looks a little of you and a little of me! ;)

      At 18 weeks, baby girl was the size of a sweet potato

Our baby girl:

• Is busy being mobile
• Has her ears in her final position
• Her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed
• And, as we found out from the ultrasounds, loves to move her hands to her face, open her mouth (singing), is a little lady with keeping her legs crossed, and LOVES to suck her thumb!  Which, as we heard from the doctor, is a sign of maturity.  So I'm okay with that.

     According to the books, the baby measures about 7 oz.  Well, on Monday, when I was 18 weeks and 1 day, baby girl weighed 8 oz., so she's a little bigger than the books say.  GULP!

     This week, I think I can officially say that I felt movement!  Which I think confirms that one solid muscle twitch feeling I felt LAST week in my lower right abdomen was probably movement.  On the day that we found out that little baby "S" was a girl, I was lying on my left side in bed and felt 5 solid muscle twitch feelings all in a row on the lower left side of my tummy.  There were a few seconds in between them.  I looked at Tyson and go, "I think I'm feeling her move!"  Then, the following day, I was just sitting down in front of the computer at home, and baby girl twitched 3 times for me on my lower right side.  An hour later, I got up, sneezed like 10 times in a row (thank you allergies!), and a few seconds later, I felt her jostle in there.    Must have startled her.  It almost felt like a rolling feeling.  It was honestly the COOLEST, WEIRDEST thing I've felt.  Ever since then, I've maybe gotten a few slight twitch feelings here and there, but nothing like I did on Monday and Tuesday.  It seemed on Monday and Tuesday, I felt her more.  I'm starting to think this baby is going to be very calm and relaxed by her movements I can and cannot feel.  Even in her ultrasound, she didn't like to move much or often.  If we tried to get her to move, she'd nudge a little, but not MOVE, move.  I'm starting to think she'll also be stubborn.  Tyson says, "She's stubborn like her mom," and "She's just like her dad," because she's showing maturity.  So, to sum it up, she's lazy, stubborn, and mature.  HA!

     Now comes the fun part. PICTURES!  So, little does Tyson realize, this little girl already has daddy wrapped around her little finger.  Tyson was working an extra job at the Kingwood Women's Society Seasonal Marketplace, I guess providing security, and they apparently they had TONS of cute, girly baby stuff.  Well, Tyson bought baby girl her first present.....a pink and zebra ruffle butt, or diaper cover if you will.  It's the cutest thing ever!  He knows mommy and baby girl's tastes!  The princess bib and white ruffle butt was a congratulatory gift from a co-worker that was working the extra job with Tyson.  Love them all!




     Then, he comes home Thursday night, surprising me with a tub FULL of bows that his co-worker's wife makes and tells me to pick what I want for baby girl.




     He just keeps surprising baby girl with so many precious gifts, and it makes my heart melt.  I say he's already turning her into a daddy's little girl.  I can already see it....  "Daddy, I really want this," or "Daddy, can I please get this?"  Oh boy.  Yes I can see it.  He's going to deny it.  But, I think this is how it's going to go down.

     So my stepmom started buying girl clothes from Janie and Jack BEFORE we found out we were having a girl.  I guess she wanted a granddaughter that bad!  Here are the clothes she surprised me with.  The pink jumper right in the center is my FAVORITE!  It's just too presh!!!





     Now for a picture of the pregnant lady!!!





How far along? I'm posting this at 18 weeks, 6 days.  Picture above is from yesterday, 18 weeks, 5 days.

Total weight gain/loss:  I've gained 7 lbs. from pre-pregnancy weight.  I'm not getting on the scale until my next doctor's appointment.  That's just how I roll.  Scales are dumb.

Maternity clothes? I bought two pairs of maternity jeans from The GAP last week.  BOTH WERE ON SALE!!!!  40% off!!!!  Who knew I could get so excited about a sale on maternity jeans!

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Eh.  It could be better.

Best moment this week: Finding out it's a girl!!!!!!  And feeling her move a little more!

Have you told family and friends: That it's a girl....YES!  That we're pregnant....DUH!

Miss Anything?  A niiiiiiice, refreshing cocktail.
Symptoms:  Frequent bathroom trips, feeling like a solid rock is sitting in my pelvis, breathlessness, stuffy nose, achy tailbone.  Pregnancy is awesome...

Movement: Finally!!!!  I've been feeling baby girl!

Food cravings: Mostly fruit juices this week.  I can't get enough Mango and Strawberry Kiwi Snapple!!!  Surprise me with one of those, and we'll be best friends forever.

Anything making you queasy or sick: It wasn't much this week.

Have you started to show yet:  This week, I've been told, "Your baby is showing!" and "You look so cute!" and "You're starting to get a little bump!" and "I didn't know you were pregnant!  Congratulations!" That last comment came from one of my student's moms that I hadn't seen since I was EARLY, early and not showing.  SOOOOO, it's safe to say, I'm showing.

Gender prediction: No more guessing!  It's a girl!  It's a girl!  It's a girl!!!!! **Doing my happy dance.**

Labor Signs: I can't tell if I'm already starting to get Braxton Hicks.  I've heard you can start getting them this early, but I need to do a little more research, but I'm starting to feel a big cramp, tightening feeling sometimes that comes on once in a while.  Tuesday, I felt like my uterus was TWISTING into a gigantic knot while walking into my classroom.  It hurt a little, but not bad.

Belly Button in or out?  Still in.  

Wedding rings on or off? On.  
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, especially now that I know I'm having a little GIRL!!!

Looking forward to: Feeling this baby move more frequently and giving me a solid, for sure KICK, as well as seeing her roll around in my tummy.  I can't wait to feel her itty bitty hiccups, too.  I'm hoping she'll give me a little movement when I sing to her.  I do all the time since she can possibly start to hear around this time.

It's a Girl!

     That's correct!  We're going to have a little girl!!!!  I thought I'd start off with the pictures before going into the story since I know pictures are what everyone is wanting to really look at.

     Here's a picture of her lady parts.  It's not the best, but she was being a little difficult.  I'll explain the whole story in a sec.  There was actually a second shot they got that was A LOT better that DEFINITELY showed it was a girl; but, they didn't get a picture of that one.  Bummer.

Here are pictures of her profile:

Here are more neat pictures of her face.  She really liked to put her hand up to her face.  She also REALLY liked to suck her thumb.  Uh oh!  Captions of what's occurring are below each picture.

There she goes!  Sucking that thumb!

Here she is bringing her feet up to her face.  She is crossed at the ankles here.  I will tell you her "crossed leg" story  in a sec.

Her hand in her mouth.

Her hand up to her face.  I think getting ready to put that thumb in her mouth!

Waving "hi."

BIG yawn!!!!

There she goes, again!!!  Sucking her thumb!  CONSTANTLY she was doing it.

Waving "hi" again!

Little baby foot!  All five toes on this foot!!!!  Just FYI, she also has all five toes on the other foot...hee hee. :)

Her VERY first outfit that her Aunt Becca got her!

     Okay, story time.  Let me first start out by saying that I wanted a girl SO BAD!!!!  I never expressed it on here because I didn't want everyone to know, only to get my hopes shot down.  Only close friends and family knew how I desired a girl and would have been heartbroken if it was a boy.  At the very beginning of this pregnancy, I kept thinking that there was a girl in here, but over the last few days, I started to think boy.  I was getting pretty sad and preparing myself to not be completely heartbroken if they said boy.

     If you don't know me, which pretty much everyone who reads this does, I'm a TOTAL girly girl, and this little girl will be my little dress up doll.  Yes.  I'm one of THOSE moms.  I want tutu skirts, ruffle butts, and the LARGEST and the BIGGEST, OVERSIZED headband/bows to put on her little head.  Basically, the bow has to be half the size of her face or larger.  I want those headbands to be all girled out with feathers, rhinestones, glitter, and pink coming out of it at every angle.  I don't think you understand the severity of the situation.  I basically want it as GIGANTIC and gaudy as possible.

     Okay, so seriously, here goes the story.  So, we walk into the room and I'm practically shaking (NOT KIDDING!) I'm so anxious, nervous, etc.  Low and behold, Tyson KNOWS the ultrasound tech.  So they're chatting it up, catching up on each other's lives while I stood there, and then after standing, lied there, WAITING for that gel and wand to hit my tummy.  It was teasing me, and I honestly was starting to get very impatient.  I almost turned towards him to give him my, "shut up," face because the more he asked her questions, the more she stalled.  I was already shaking here peoples!!!

     So, she's checking everything out.  She tells me that she generally likes to look at a few things before looking at the sex.  She asks me what I want, and I didn't say anything because I was too scared to say.  Tyson said, "girl," and I sadly replied, "I really want girl, but I'm having a feeling that this is a boy."  So she looks at some things, then tries to go find the girl or boy parts; however, the baby had her legs crossed so we couldn't see anything.  The ultrasound tech decided to check more more anatomical stuff on the baby and come back to it, hoping the baby would move a little.  We must have gone back to that area a million times, and STILL she had her legs crossed.  Tyson goes, "Well, if it's a girl, that's a good thing she has her legs crossed," or something to that effect.

     A few times, the tech almost got a good look, and she kept saying, "I'm thinking this is a girl and not a boy, but I just need to get a better shot to be sure."  I kept saying, "I don't know, I see a scrotum," but she replied back with, "That's probably her heel you're seeing."  Finally, the tech got a good shot and confirmed it.  She was all girl!  She goes, "Yep!  There's her labia.  She's a girl!"  As soon as she said this, I practically hyperventilated and said, "Are you sure!?  Are you sure?!  It's a girl!?  It's a girl!?  Oh my God, it's a girl!"  Then I covered my face and started bawling my eyes out all while repeating, "It's a girl."  Also, as soon as the lady said girl, my sister quickly turned around and pulled out baby girl's first outfit and a box with 3 headbands in it.  I just kept crying, in happiness.  The shot was bad for us, as you could tell from the picture.  We could barely see it, but she was sure.  We asked her to come back to it and check one more time because we could barely tell if it was a labia like she said it was.  The ultrasound tech made sure to let me know that she'd never tell me it was a girl or boy if she wasn't for sure just to calm my fears.

     Our little girl just LOVES to suck her thumb and bring her hands to her face.  That's all she would do, and she wouldn't uncross her legs.  My little lady.  She's currently sitting breech as well, so that was ANOTHER reason we were having such a hard time finding her lady parts.  Also, the placenta is sitting forward, so that's one reason I haven't been able to feel her move.  Eventually, the doctor came in to talk to us all about the scan and what she sees.  As she's coming in, the ultrasound tech goes, "I, for sure, know this is a girl but could you look at it one more time for us?"  The doctor crinkled her face and said, "I saw girl, but we'll look again."  So she did, and we saw a MUCH better picture.  She made sure to point out the girl parts.  Once I saw the picture, I sighed with relief and knew I could feel confident that this was a girl.

     So, there you have it!  My little lady that keeps her legs crossed.  I may be biased, but she has the sweetest face ever.  It's hard to tell in the pictures, but in the ultrasound when you got to watch her move, yawn, suck her thumb, etc., she just looks like the sweetest little girl.  Even the ultrasound tech said she had a cute face.  I couldn't agree more. ;)   According to the high risk doctor, out baby looks like she's in good shape.  Healthy and all!  We are so ecstatic.  More so me.  I've been on cloud 9 for the last 3 hours. I've got my little girl that I've always wanted.  Now, I need to start nailing down a girl name, think of nursery ideas, and find those GIGANTIC, I mean OVER-TAKE my child's head, kind of headbands!  

17 week Bumpdate

      Sing it with me!!!  Twwwwoooooo more days!!!  Twwwoooooo more days!!!  We find out if baby "S" is a BOY or a GIRL on Monday!  I'm so, so, SO, so anxious, nervous, excited all wrapped up in one!  I also can't wait to see the baby and what it looks like NOW.  The last ultrasound we had was when we were 8 weeks, and it looked like a little kidney bean.  I can't wait to see a profile of a BABY!  So, blue or pink?  What do you think?!  I've certainly been concentrating on it!

     This week, the baby is the size of an onion.  Dear baby, just a little 411 on your parents, Mommy LOVES the taste of onions, Daddy doesn't like them very much.

Our baby:

• Is changing its soft cartilage to bone and umbilical cord is growing strong and thicker
• Weighs 5 oz. now (about the weight of a turnip) and about 5 inches long from crown to rump
• Can move its joints and is producing sweat glands

     I had my 3rd prenatal appointment with Dr. Hampton on Thursday.  Everything seems to be going great.  She said my weight gain is excellent, blood pressure is excellent, etc. etc.  The baby's heartbeat was 148 bmp this time.  A little bit lower than last; but, the nurse said as long as it stays above 110 and below 180, we're good!  They asked me if I've been able to feel anything, yet.  I disappointingly (is that a word??) replied, "No," with a sad face.  The nurse told me that it was okay and that it could happen anywhere from 16-22 weeks.  22 WEEKS!!!!!!!!  Mommy is impatient, little baby.  I need a wittle somethin' somethin'.  I had THOUGHT I felt a twitch the other day in the lower right hand side of my belly, but I couldn't be sure that was the baby.  I haven't felt anything obvious since then.  Wah, wah...

     I found this off of another woman's blog and I thought it was HI-LARIOUS, so I wanted to share.  It's the small things that make me burst with laughter:

Click on the picture to make it bigger.

Are you ready for baby bump time????

Baby "S" and I got all schnazy and headed out on a night out on the town (not really) to go listen to our best friend sing in Woodlands Idol!  The competition was held at Papa's Icehouse.  It's like a bar, but not a BAR, bar.  I felt a little strange walking around, pregnant, in a somewhat bar.  But, there were other babies and children there, so I didn't feel SO weird.

How far along? 17 weeks and 6 days

Total weight gain/loss:  I've gained 7 lbs. from pre-pregnancy weight.

Maternity clothes? I'm still doing well with fitting into my pre-pregnancy tops.  I do have to wear maternity pants though.  Belly is too much in the way, and I need comfort peoples!

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Okay.  Not awesome.  Getting up in the middle of the night to pee and blow my nose is annoying.

Best moment this week: People telling me how cute I am pregnant and wanting to touch my belly.  Definitely makes a pregnant gal feel pretty when she's feeling the least bit sexy.

Have you told family and friends: Yup! :)

Miss Anything?  Not feeling like there's a rock sitting on my bladder and putting pressure/heaviness into my pelvis.  Oh, and a drink!

Symptoms:  Peeing, peeing, peeing.....peeing..... and peeing...  Achy tailbone, but just on the right side.

Movement: Nada.

Food cravings: Spicy foods, fruit juices, sweet and refreshing foods, soups and salads.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Motion.  I've never been one to get motion sickness until this pregnancy.  If I sit or stand too fast, nausea comes.  One day, I was going around and around and around in circles in a parking garage.  That made me quite woosey.

Have you started to show yet:  Yes! Little baby is giving me a belly.

Gender prediction: Over the last few days......boy. 

Labor Signs: Nope.

Belly Button in or out?  Still in.  

Wedding rings on or off? On.  

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender, and doing the whole anatomy scan! Twwoooooo more days!!!!  Check back to this blog within the next 3 days.  I'm going to post about our anatomy scan experience.

16 Week Bumpdate

Disclaimer:  Ok.  I'm going to be honest.  Pregnancy is not as glorious as you think until you become pregnant.  You have aches, pains, and discomforts in places, and pregnancy is just not glamorous.  With that said, I apologize if I ever mention anything on these posts that might seem offensive or like, "Why did she have to even go there?  Too much information, Reannin!"  I'm going to be honest in my experience.  I admit, sometimes I have no shame.  Tyson and my family can vouch for that.  However, I DO have certain boundaries, so I don't THINK I will say anything that is just utterly ridiculous to share.  I'm just going to be straightforward and tell you like it is.  There's no sugar coating this stuff!  Now on to the blog.

     This week, the baby is the size of an avocado from crown to rump!  Guacamole anyone?!  OR!  If you're a make-up nut like me, it's about the length of your mascara.  Ooooo....Mommy LOVES Sephora!


   

The baby:

• Started growing toenails
• Is pumping 25 quarts of blood a day
• Has its legs more developed, head more erect, and eyes moved closer to his/her final position
   

     Apparently, within the next few weeks, the baby will double its weight (GULP!) and add inches to its length.  I learned that my uterus is the size of a small melon, maybe a little bigger now.  When Tyson and I were at the store the other day, I grabbed a small melon, held it up, and said, "Guess what.  This is the size of my uterus right now."  He had no comment.

     I still haven't felt the baby, yet, or AWARE that I'm feeling the baby.  I'm not going to lie.  I'm a little bummed.  BUT!  I know that as the weeks move on, I'm getting closer!  I already feel like a waddler when I walk, and I'm only 16 weeks.  I'm so petite and short torsoed, this baby is going to have nowhere to go!  I'm pretty gosh darn scared at how I'm going to continue to feel as the weeks move on up and this baby gets bigger.  To understand what I'm talking about, let me further explain.  READ DISCLAIMER!!!!

     I love it when I have people ask me, "How are you feeling?"  I pretty much just smile and say, "Fine," or "Tired."  What I really want to say, especially this week is:

    "Do you honestly want to know how how I'm feeling?   Honestly?!??  Well, let me tell you!  My bladder, pelvis, and crotch hurts and aches.......real bad.  I feel like I have to pee every 5 minutes, and even when I go, I don't feel relieved.  The baby has made a nice, warm bed right on my bladder and is pretty much snuggling with it like it's its teddy bear.  This is causing me indescribable, and sometimes painful, pressure down into my crotch.  To put it quite bluntly, I feel like my vagina is going to fall off.  I get these pains the worst and REALLY feel it when I'm standing and walking, which, unfortunately, that's what my job entails.  AND THERE'S A LOT OF STANDING AND WALKING!  I'm non-stop.  The only way I have SOME sort of relief is when I'm lying or sitting down and not moving, OR!, grabbing underneath my little bump and lifting it up.  It seems to take some pressure off.  Oh!  And my butt hurts, I mean, I'm already getting a sore tailbone.  When all is said and done, I'm SUPER DUPER scared of this kiddo getting heavier."

     However, when someone walks by and asks me how I'm feeling, I don't recite all of that because wouldn't THAT be one awkward convo for them about my crotch feeling like it's going to fall off.  So for now, I'll just stick to keeping a smile on my face and telling them tired and getting a "woosey feeling" sometimes.  That'll be less awkward for the person.  They can just read it on my blog. ;)  So there you have it!  Pregnancy in ALL its glory!

     Now on to bump picture and survey for the week!  Bump looks smaller in this picture...hmmm...

How far along? 16 weeks and 5 days

Total weight gain/loss:  According to the last doctor's appointment a few weeks ago, I've gained 4 lbs. from my pre-pregnancy weight.

Maternity clothes? Still haven't bought anything, yet.  I'm still fitting into a lot of my looser shirts.  Today, I had to wear my first pair of maternity jeans to work.  They're jeans that are hand-me-downs from my sister who got them as a hand-me-down as well.  They were a little big in the tushy but much more comfy than the hairband-rigged jeans right now.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Getting up to pee about twice a night interrupts the quality of my sleep.  I wake up every morning feeling like I have a hangover.

Best moment this week: Ugh.  There really wasn't any bests.  Just the aches and pains I was talking about above.  I hope to have a better week next week.
Have you told family and friends: I think it's pretty much safe to say that majority of our friends and family knows.

Miss Anything?  Waking up feeling refreshed.

Symptoms:  Please see my lovely, no shame in my game, little blurb written above the bump picture.  Might also be the reason I'm waddling a little.

Movement: :(  Nothing...

Food cravings: No cravings, but if there's something I can make spicy, or order spicy, it's spicy all the way for me!  Today, though, I really wanted a pickle.  I smelled it from one of my student's lunches and thought, "Mmmm....I really want a pickle."  I don't eat pickles by the way.  Craving?

Anything making you queasy or sick: I got real queasy ONCE this week.  It was on Monday morning.  I don't know if I had a big enough breakfast or not to go along with my prenatal.  Or, I was just tired.

Have you started to show yet: I gots a beer and jelly doughnut belly for sure!

Gender prediction: At the beginning of this week, I was thinking boy.  I haven't thought about it much within the last few days.  I just can't tell.  I was told that you just have this intuition.  Well, I don't have it. 

Labor Signs: I read that I could start getting Braxton Hicks this early on in my pregnancy when I was looking up my aches and pains symptoms.  I've been wondering if some of my pains could be that.  I see the doctor on Thursday.  I'll ask her.

Belly Button in or out?  Still in.  

Wedding rings on or off? On.  

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy......uncomfortable...

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender, and doing the whole anatomy scan!  1 week and 3 days left!  Let the countdown begin!!!!!!

15 Week Bumpdate

     15 weeks, and not forgetting I'm pregnant now.  My tummy just keeps GROWING, and I definitely feel like there's something sitting in my pelvis!  Tyson keeps looking at my growing belly with a shocked look because he can't believe how big I'm getting (in his eyes).  This week, the baby, from crown to rump, is the size of an apple, or one Kit Kat cookie bar (non jumbo size), OR a softball.  Take your pick of what you would like to compare it to.  I'll go with a Kit Kat. ;)

This week, the baby measures about 4 inches in length from crown to rump.  He or she can:

• Move amniotic fluid through it's nose and upper respiratory tract.
• Legs are growing longer than the arms now.
• Move all joints and limbs.
• Eyelids are still fused shut; however, if you shine a flashlight on my tummy, the baby will possibly move away from it. (SO COOL!)
• Forming taste buds for my AWESOME cooking for the future.  Okay, I don't know about awesome.

      This week, I thought about how I'm probably getting just a few weeks closer to feeling the baby move.  I took a survey on Facebook asking, "Mommies, with your first pregnancy, how many weeks were you when you first felt your baby move?"  I got so many responses!  Overall, on average, everyone seemed to feel their baby when they were between 15-17 weeks.  Well, this week, I don't THINK I felt anything.  I will admit, I was sort of anxious and really concentrating on my belly to see if I could feel anything, but nothing. :(  Sad face.  I'm hoping this upcoming week?!?!!!??

     I officially think that a pregnant teacher should have an assistant.  Walking and standing all day kind of stinks right now, and I can only imagine how much more stinky it's going to get when I get bigger.  Sitting is not an easy option in the teaching world.  Also, let's not go there with the bathroom situation.  At some moments, I feel like the baby is putting pressure on my bladder, and when I'm in the middle of teaching, or trying to manage a class, it's not that easy and convenient to just up and leave the room to go!

     Now, for survey and bump picture.  I've decided to add SYMPTOMS to the survey.

How far along? 15 weeks and 6 days

Total weight gain/loss:  According to the last doctor's appointment a few weeks ago, I've gained 4 lbs. from my pre-pregnancy weight.

Maternity clothes? Nothing more, yet. Still haven't gotten a chance to get those maternity jeans.  Need them soon though because I'm feeling like a stuffed turkey (even with the hairband) in my pre-pregnancy ones.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: My allergies are still pretty bad, which is keeping me up or WAKING me up at night.  I officially have resorted to sleeping with a body pillow.  My hips and back were starting to hurt from being on my side all night.

Best moment this week: Seeing my belly continue to grow!  Seeing pictures online and in the baby books of what my baby looks like right now.  It pretty much looks like a baby, now!  No more weird alien-like features.  Also, rubbing my belly and talking to it.  I know he/she probably can't hear, yet, but I feel connected and love this baby so much already!
Have you told family and friends: The word keeps spreading!

Miss Anything?  Sleeping and not feeling so stuffed up all night.  Thank you combo of hormones and allergies.  I guess I'm just getting a taste of sleeplessness for when the baby arrives!  On another note, I surprisingly didn't have cocktail withdraws this week.

Symptoms:  I think I officially got my first taste of heartburn this week.  I'm not 100% sure, but I'm thinking that maybe it was.  Also, of course, the whole peeing feeling constantly.

Movement: Still nothing.  Give mommy a little flutter or pop around, little baby........Pretty please?

Food cravings: Wednesday night I was getting out of the shower, and then it hit me.  HARD!  I had a seriously BAD craving for Smoothie King's Strawberry Kiwi Breeze.  Needless to say, Tyson went and ran his first pregnancy craving errand for me.  Oh what us pregnant women do to these men!

Anything making you queasy or sick: I still get waves of nausea with my prenatals, but I'm starting to think I need to eat a GIGANTIC breakfast before I take them; because when I do, I feel better.

Have you started to show yet: For.  Sure.

Gender prediction: I keep leaning towards girl, then think boy, then I keep going more and more back to girl.  Ugh.  I just don't know!  TWO MORE WEEKS!

Labor Signs: Still early in my pregnancy, so nope! :)

Belly Button in or out?  Still in.  

Wedding rings on or off? On.  

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Looking forward to: Feeling this little guy or gal move annnnnnnddddd..........TWO MORE WEEKS UNTIL WE FIND OUT THE SEX!!!  I'm a WRECK and going CRAZY right now.
