Bump Day 20 Weeks! Half way already!



How Far Along: 20 Weeks! Half way there! I can't believe how fast this is going!

Size of the Baby: A Banana! Lol! They are all over with these fruit comparisons! So, in real measurements: about 10 ounces and around 10 inches head to toe! This is the first week they start to measure from head to toe. I guess that means baby is getting bigger!

Maternity Clothes: Still resisting!

Stretch marks: Nope.

Weight gain/loss: Back down to pre-prego weight! I swear you wouldn't tell by looking at my ever growing stomach that I haven't gained weight yet!
 
Sleep:Starting to toss and turn, a LOT! They say you shouldn't lay on your back, and for some reason that's exactly where I want to be! I wake up all night on my back and have to roll over. I think I need to start piling on the pillows so I cant move!

Best Moment of the Week: Tanning my baby bump! Yes, go ahead and be jealous, we had such nice weather that I was on the beach, in a bikini, soaking up the sun! Today it's raining though, so it was short lived!

Movement:Pretty much all the time now. Every morning {and usually in the middle of the night} baby likes to stretch out and kick for a few minutes.

Symptoms: I think most people would hate this, but I'm loving it, dry hair! I know, who would love that?! But I had pretty oily hair before and now it's pretty awesome to not wash it everyday!!

Food Cravings: I wish. I always have to settle on something because nothing really sounds good.

Gender: We aren't finding out until little one comes!I keep thinking I'll start to 'know' what baby is, but not yet!

Belly Button in or out: In.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Labor Signs: Not even close.

Wedding ring on or off: On.

What I miss: Not having to unbutton my pants to sit down!

What I am looking forward to: My stomach looking a little more baby bump-ish and less like I ate too much!...yeah, I'm sticking with this still!

Getting ready: I broke down and bought a 'mommy loves me' onesie this week! LOL! I couldn't help it, it was too cute! It's slightly girly, but I think if it's a boy I'll snip the tiny bow off and call it good. ;)

Emotions: I think my hormones are a little high this week, nothing too bad though.

Stupid things I have done: Just being pretty forgetful, still!


We have a winner... or three!!!

The ad space giveaway is officially closed and we have some winners!

Bump Day 19 weeks


I think I look the same in this picture as last week, but I feel bigger!

How Far Along: 19 Weeks!

Size of the Baby: A Mango! aka about 9 ounces and around 6 inches head to bum!

Maternity Clothes: Not quite, but it's starting to sound like a good idea!

Stretch marks: Nope.

Weight gain/loss: I have officially gained weight! I am up a pound!!
 
Sleep: Not bad, sleeping pretty good most nights.

Best Moment of the Week: Matt got to feel the baby kick! I didn't think he'd get to feel it for a while, so it was pretty exciting!

Movement:Yes! I'm pretty sure baby was doing gator rolls this morning!

Symptoms: Just a growing belly.

Food Cravings: Nope.

Gender: We aren't finding out until little one comes!

Belly Button in or out: In.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.

Labor Signs: Not even close.

Wedding ring on or off: On.

What I miss: This week, sushi! I hardly ever ate it before, but it seems like I'm seeing it everywhere now, and I can't have it!

What I am looking forward to: My stomach looking a little more baby bump-ish and less like I ate too much!

Getting ready: I'm trying really hard to not buy anything before the baby shower, but I've got a few things already. I also made baby a hat this week! It's too cute, I'm going to have to make more!
Emotions: I'm using my resolution of being more productive and getting our house all in order.I think the nesting part is starting to set in!

Stupid things I have done: Just being pretty forgetful!



This is going to be a great year! (giveaway)

I am so excited for everything this new year has to bring! Okay, mostly excited for baby to get here, but I'm sure there will be tons of other great things too!

I'm not usually one for making resolutions, but this year I decided to make one. Just one little thing.


I figure once baby comes our lives will be flipped upside-down, so the more I can do now the better! Plus if I get in the habit of doing more now, it won't feel like there is so much to do once baby is here. Maybe.

So, I'm starting now with the intention of doing more everyday. Not just more things, but more things that make me happy and enhance my life and everything around me! Setting time aside each day not just for what I have to do, but for things that have taken the back burner for way too long!

Of course this will flow over into my world of blogging too! So look for more fun things here!

Also, to start the year off, I want to do something to make YOU happier!
I'm giving away 3 Large Ad Spots to 3 lovely readers! All you have to do is enter with rafflecopter down below!
The giveaway will go through midnight January 23rd, and I will announce the winners on the 24th!
Good Luck!

And for everyone else, all ad spaces are 50% off right now! I'd love to see some fresh faces on my sidebar this year! {not that I don't love you ladies that are there already!} So head over to my sponsor page and check it out! Just enter nifty50 at checkout!

Happy Friday!!!



Bump Day 17 Weeks

I'm starting belly shots this week since I can feel that I'm ready to pop a little belly! So, I figured I'd start a weekly pregnancy update too! If it's not your thing, skip it, but if you're like me you love seeing others baby bump updates! So, here we go...


Okay, after seeing this picture I feel like my stomach is way bigger than I thought! LOL!
 
How Far Along: 17 Weeks!


Size of the Baby: An Onion! aka about 5 ounces and around 5 inches head to bum!

Maternity Clothes: Not yet, but some of my jeans are getting a little tight in the waist!

Stretch marks: Nope.

Weight gain/loss: Was down 4 pounds from nauseating morning sickness and no appetite, but I'm starting to gain some back, so now I'm only down 3 pounds.
 
Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good, but have to get up to pee by like 5 or 6 every morning.

Best Moment of the Week: We got to hear baby's heartbeat last week! It was so exciting! We have listened to it quite a few times now!

Movement: Not yet, I've been trying to see if I can feel anything while I'm laying in bed, but nothing yet.

What I am looking forward to: A baby bump! Matt thinks I'm crazy and says I should enjoy my flat stomach while I can!

Nursery: Baby is going to bunk with us, so no nursery, but we really haven't got any baby stuff yet.

Emotions: Good. I don't think I'm on that emotional roller coaster they say pregnancy brings. We'll see if that changes.

Stupid things I have done: Besides forgetting what I was doing a half second ago, nothing really.



Happy New Year!!!

I hope everyone had a great NYE and are enjoying your New Years Day! We had a super mellow night. Neither of us could stay up, so we set an alarm to ring in the New Year! Lol! That's what being prego gets you, well that and toasting with sparkling cider!

Here's to a great 2013!!!
