Size of babe:  an apple

Weight gain: still not tracking this, and I'm not sorry. 

Maternity clothes:work clothes- yes. I can still wear some of my pre-pregnancy pants depending on the day...and several shirts work still. 

Gender:  Baby Beck is a sweet baby girl.

Nursery: This one is starting to take shape but will be on hold until we figure out where to live. 

Movement: Not that I can feel. :)

Sleep: It’s  pretty good. Up once a night to tinkle, but I recently embraced a Body pillow and it's been my friend. 

What I miss: a margarita....and my dog. Atleast I'm consistent. 

Best moment this week: finding out we are hanging a baby girl. Still doesn't feel real. 

Looking forward to: deciding on a middle name for our sweet girl, picking up Knox from dog school, telling our families about our sweet girl... So much!

Cravings: grapefruit, poppers... And just things that sound good! 

Symptoms: pretty much the same. Definitely having more days of feeling better. Only taking Zofran half the time now.  

Workouts:  still holding steady to the Piyo train. Being able to workout makes me really happy! Yep, this is still true.

Stretch Marks: not yet. Crossing fingers over here.

Happy or moody: more happy than not...but can cry at any moment.

Size of babe:  the nectarine

Weight gain: I honestly have no clue....and don't plan to find out anytime soon. 

Maternity clothes: work clothes- yes. I can still wear some of my pre-pregnancy pants depending on the day...and several shirts work still. 

Gender:  no clue...and I have no feeling either way. But we can find out in a few weeks!

Nursery: This one is starting to take shape but will be on hold until a) we know what Baby Beck is and b) we are trying to move....

Movement: Not that I can feel. :)

Sleep: It’s  pretty good. Up once a night to tinkle, but I recently embraced a Body pillow and it's been my friend. 

What I miss: still missing my pup. But not missing too much else. 

Best moment this week: finding out my best friend (who is 8 weeks ahead of me) is having a sweet baby girl. 

Looking forward to: finding out is this nugget is a boy or girl. 

Cravings: these are still true, which is why I haven't really changed. I appreciate grapefruit a lot right now- especially real grapefruit juice, like it came right outta the fruit...and cereal. Cereal has saved my life. Oh- and egg burritos from Sonic with salsa and ketchup. We finally went back to our fav sushi place where I had cooked sushi. I seriously almost died. So good. 

Symptoms: pretty much the same. Definitely having more days of feeling better. Only taking Zofran half the time now.  

Workouts:  still holding steady to the Piyo train. Being able to workout makes me really happy!

Stretch Marks: not yet. Crossing fingers over here.

Happy or Moody: depends on the day. A bit of both.

Size of babe: a tangerine. 

Weight gain: I honestly have no clue....and don't plan to find out anytime soon. 

Maternity clothes: oh yes. I went shopping with my mom and sister over Christmas. How I will ever go back to normal work pants I have no idea. These things are comfortable. 

Gender:  no clue...and I have no feeling either way. But we can find out in a few weeks!

Nursery: This one is starting to take shape but will be on hold until a) we know what Baby Beck is and b) we are trying to move....

Movement: Not that I can feel. :)

Sleep: It’s  pretty good. Up once a night to tinkle, but I recently embraced. Body pillow and it's been my friend. 

What I miss: my dog. Knox left for a 3 week trip to dog school and my heart is kind of broken.

Best moment this week:  ringing in 2015, with an itty bitty bump. 

Looking forward to: finding out is this nugget is a boy or girl. 

Cravings: I can't really say "cravings"...things either sound good or they don't. I appreciate grapefruit a lot right now- especially real grapefruit juice, like it came right outta the fruit...and cereal. Cereal has saved my life. Oh- and egg burritos from Sonic with salsa and ketchup. Yes please.

Symptoms: Let's see...a growing belly, the occasional throwing up, especially is the morning, (I say occasional because I take Zofran like its my job, constipation (just keepin' it real- I recently learned Zofran causes that big time which is super), and feeling narcoleptic...but then getting bursts of energy. 

Workouts:  Since I change weeks on Monday- I'll go with what I did last week. Woke up every morning and did my Piyo DVDs and ended the week with a 2 mile run and weight lifting. 

A new Chapter...Week #12

Beginning our journey with our Baby Beck... Coming July 2015. 

12 Weeks



Size of babe:  a sweet plum... 2.5" long. 

Weight gain: This one will be the bain of my existence... My scale says 6 lbs, my doctor says 10. For obvious reasons we shall go with mine. 

Birthing process update: We are pretty far from this question...so I'll probably remove it for the time being.

Maternity clothes: going shopping this week because the work pants situation MUST be addressed. The belly band has saved me the past couple weeks. Most of my shirts still work but...I think its time to prepare for this the bump. 

Gender:  no clue...and I have no feeling either way. But we can find out in a few weeks!

Nursery: This one is starting to take shape but will be on hold until a) we know what Baby Beck is and b) we are trying to move....

Movement: Not that I can feel. :)

Sleep: It’s okay. I always wake up once a night for tinkle reasons and we shall be ordering a pregnancy pillow soon. Although- the crazy dreams can take a hike... The other night I dreamt that men attacked my husband on a train (I have had this dream before, except we were in a Chinese medical center- I have no idea) and they put my cat to sleep to use her to apply varnish to hardwood floors... Seriously, wtf? I had crazy dreams prior to being pregnant but this is getting old.

What I miss: feeling like myself and having energy. Oh, and not throwing up.  

Best moment this week: Hearing BB's heartbeat today...still scooting along at 170 bpm. And my doctor confirming that it was okay for me to continue working out and not worry about my exact heart rate and do what I felt was okay. Yes, I do know myself better than anyone and I appreciate her saying that.

Looking forward to: Christmas...and buying some pants that fit me. AND, the second trimester. *throws glitter*

Cravings: I can't really say "cravings"...things either sound good or they don't. I appreciate grapefruit a lot right now- especially real grapefruit juice, like it came right outta the fruit...and cereal. Cereal has saved my life. Oh- and egg burritos from Sonic with salsa and ketchup. Yes please.

Symptoms: Let's see...a protruding belly, the occasional throwing up (I say occasional because I take Zofran like its my job, constipation (just keepin' it real- I recently learned Zofran causes that big time which is super), and feeling narcoleptic...but then getting bursts of energy. 

Workouts:  Since I change weeks on Monday- I'll go with what I did last week. A few barre classes, a 2mile run with park workout and my Piyo dvd. I'm hoping to get back to 6 days consistently...once the energy fairy gets back to me.
