19 weeks

  I am a major slacker but have been crazy busy! 

but we have exciting, exciting news!! and have known for a month now! 

We are having...

A BOY!!! 

 

 

 

 

 We are so very excited! =) His 19 weeks US was yesterday and everything looked so perfect =) We are very blessed!! <3 He has been measuring about a week ahead though so maybe that means he will come earlier than later =) Our due date was 11/26 off my LMP but then our first US showed 11/22-23 and then 19 week showed 11/20. So we will just be ready that WHOLE week for him =) 

I have been on summer break which has been nice but still so busy! Have been going to gym 3x a week and trying to eat healthy but still gaining quickly =P BOO! Was only hoping for 25lbs but looking like 35-40. =P Gunna try to start eating healthy and keep moving =) Hopefully body will slow down!

 Finally made it to 2nd trimester =) Isn't the sickness suppose to be gone and my energy come back? =P Still queasy and still tired! I finally had to start taking b6 to bite the naseaua a little bit because bleh!! =P Finally able to eat meat a little but still do not have my normal appetite back although I've been eating alot LOL mostly starving in mornings! 


My belly is growing but nothing too crazy, unless I eat alot =P I am hoping my weight gain is steady and slow. I am still fitting in my clothes and haven't had to break out maternity clothes yet (with exception of the dresses I bought earlier this month) so I think I am doing okay...HOPEFULLY! LOL I have been so busy with my monogramming business I've kinda let exereiscing slide...plus it is so stankin' hot outside =P but I have done it a few times this week. Not as much as I should I am sure.

My next dr appointment is June 3rd and that's just a healthy check up and then!!!! We get to see what we are having JUNE 4th!!!!! I am excited =)=) just sadly, no one can know until June 10th when my inlaws get back in town...boo!! I know I am going to slip and tell someone haha. Good thing I don't work that week...maybe I will just sit at home and keep quiet while making gender reveal box and taking Macyn's big sister to a little _______ photos =) We really should be worried about HER ratting us out hahah she would be the one to tell everyone! We will just blame it on her being 3 and not knowing what she is talking about =P

I really need to take photos =P I will probably regret it looking back on how small/big I was and comparing myself with how I was with Macyn.

  TODAY IS THE DAY!! =)

 

We get to see our baby today!! I am too excited! Macyn is too! 

Wednesday I recieved my doppler back from a friend and pretty sure that I heard baby boo's heartbeat. I am trying not to get tooooo excited but I am pretty sure it wasn't mine...soo eek! Guess we will see this afternoon! 

I just want ONE healthy sweet little gummybear swimming around in there!

This week has been a pretty good week =) I have felt better as far as the naseous feeling and being super tired so hopefully all is well and my hormones are just easying up on me =) Headaches come and go but nothing too bad. =) I think the excitement of seeing baby boo just has blocked out all the yucky feelings =P 

Here is a picture of me this week. Still look pretty much the same except for that BUMP in front =P but I love it! It's finally getting hard and not squishy! 

 

I worked out 2 times this week and still in my size 9/10 jeans so feeling pretty good although I know I have gained weight. =P I can see it in my face =P but hopefully once I hit 12 weeks I will feel amazing and start really wanting to work out more (plus will be on summer break and have nothing to do all day). I have made up my mind about going to gym every morning during summer time. I am planning on babysitting my cousins but those days we will swim all day and the others I will go to gym and do modified classes =) Maybe a little zumba and kickboxing =P which will hopefully help me stay within my 25-30 lb weight gain goal =)

This week hasn’t been too bad. I ‘ve been able to eat eggs again after a few weeks of being so bleh but at night I still can not eat meat. I actually dry heave at the thought of eating chicken. BLAHHH although I did eat chicken salad for lunch on day this week =P 

Baby has been craving cheese, salt and taco bell taco supremes =P I’ve only ate one though =) Good girl! I’ve been trying to eat healthier…but exercise has been none this week. =/ I’ve been busy and exhausted after school and getting on the elliptical is the last of my worries! I have tried to walk 10 mins after lunch and do some kind of dance exercise with my kiddos =P

Still able to wear my size 10 jeans although they are getting a little snug so I know I am not a HUGE cow yet but I am sure I have gained weight with my diet of pb&js, hot dogs, and grilled cheeses =P I will get better with diet though….hopefully after this queasy feeling goes away.

7 weeks

I put my heart into your hands
Here's my soul to keep
I let you in with all that I can
You're not hard to reach
And you bless me with the best gift(s)
That I've ever known
You give me purpose
Yeah, you've given me purpose.

Everyday. In every way.

7 weeks 4 days.

Every day it seems like it’s going so slow. We have 14.5 days til we see our baby via US. Everyday I keep just thinking of the image of that little peanut floating around with it’s heartbeat just a fluttering. But then somedays I feel as if my life my crash down if something is wrong. I need to stop getting on the internet. I need to remember that God has blessed me with this little miracle, again and gave me my desires. No reason to take away. GOD HAS ME! God has US! 

but with all my worries....I will say this--- this little baby will get a tiny lil' spankin’ when it gets out for making it’s mama so SICK! I have been so queasy all day long. I am okay in the mornings but after 8am it’s on all day long til I go to bed. =( Some nights I have sat on the couch holding a towel over my face where I didn’t have to smell what V was cooking and go to bed eating a banana or yogurt. Meat is so yucky! Veggies are so yucky! BLEH! Everything is so yucky! But I bet I will still gain weight =P That is just my stupid body haha. 

But I am giving my life and my little babies life into God’s hands = ) He gives me purpose. He knows my plan. He has already had it figured it, way before I even could realize and I am so thankful, blessed and highly favored <3

14 more days! I can not wait to see my little blueberry! <3 Praying there is only ONE little blueberry that is so cute and healthy because I am a little chunky chunky! EEK! LOL Picture soon!  

funny thing this week: I can not stand the smell/taste of meat. UGH! One night as I was so blah while V was cooking chicken and peppers, I said "Ugh that chicken is killing me!" Macyn goes running into the kitchen with V and says "Dadddddyyy!!! That chicken IS KILLING my momma!!" and started crying. I was like noooo not really killing me...just hurting momma belly! =P 

How far along? 7 weeks and 4 days 

Month: April 2016

Baby is as big as a: blueberry

Total weight gain: Was up 3 lbs last week but don’t weigh myself so won’t know til April 29. I am praying it’s the same…or heck even lower! LOL but I doubt because my once love for salads are no longer. 

Maternity clothes? All I wear is maxi dresses =P but can still fit my 9/10s so have gained tooo much =P

Stretch marks? nope

Sleep: I am so exhausted every second of the day. Last night I don’t even remember going to sleep. =P I wish I could take a mid day nap! 

Best moment this week: getting closer to April 29!!

Nicknames: "Baby sister" "baby boo"

Food cravings: peanut butter & jelly with sour cream chips, spaghetti and McDonald’s cheeseburgers num num num (of course everything terrible for me!)

Missing not having to worry about a little person that is growing in side of you 24/7

Anything making you queasy or sick: everything haha! =P  mostly just at night. My heat press really gets me too….blah

Gender: not sure yet. Gunna make an appointment at 15 weeks to see =)

Symptoms: exhausted, super nauseous, sore bb and started with hip pain….but that maybe from riding the exercise bike =P 

Belly Button in or out? in

Mood: Just tired....tired in general and tired of having to wait to see my baby LOL

Exercise: I have done 20 mins on elliptical/bike every night plus some weights=) Serious about keeping weight low and steady. 

Looking forward to: APRIL 29 at 1:15!! I know I will cry. I can feel it already =P I just am praying everything is so perfect. I want happy tears!
