Week 17

Getting closer & closer to the halfway point. Feeling a little behind schedule, but I'm sure we'll figure it out. It's been challenging having Jared work in Jacksonville so much, but me & the dogs are doing the best we can!

How am I feeling?
Feeling under the weather today & hate that I can only take Tylenol for a headache, but it'll all be worth it in the end.

How do I look?
Definitely look pregnant! See pics below by MacBeth Photography. Jim Hobart is taking my weekly profile shots. Thank you Jim!

Milestones
Trying to patiently wait to feel the baby moving around & a bit worried that I won't notice it.

What am I craving?
Nothing really this week, other than sleep!

Aversions?
Still smoke.

What do I miss?
My energy!

What am I looking forward to?
Starting the nursery...as soon as we find out if we're having a boy or a girl.

Weight gain?
I went to the doctor yesterday for routine bloodwork & lost 2 lbs. I seriously don't know how that's possible. So, that makes the total weight gain 8lbs.

Discovery of the week?
That I have to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Things I'm thankful for?
Very thankful that Kelly had a pretty fast & safe delivery this morning & welcomed a healthy, baby girl into the world! Congrats to Kelly & Eric!

Week 16

We've made it to week 16! Everything is going really well, other than getting bigger by the minute.

We can't wait to get to our next appointment on Feb 16. It'll finally be ultrasound time and we'll find out if Baby Lammy is a boy or girl. Everyone still seems to think it's a boy but I'm not sure yet. I guess I'm just waiting to think about it too much since technology can give us a pretty definitive answer! Then, we get to start arguing about names.

Between Appt Update

Happy New Year everyone!

It just dawned on me that Baby Lammy will be arriving this year! In October when we found out, 2010 seemed so far away, now it's here and July will be here before we know it. A good friend of mine, Kelly, uses this great little Q&A below so I stole it from her since there's no appt this week & thought it'd be a fun update! Thanks Kelly!

How am I feeling?
Overall, pretty good. Mostly feel like myself except my pants don't even come close to fitting anymore.

How do I look?
Starting to look pregnant!

Milestones
I can definitely tell there's something in there. No movement yet but it feels like there's a grapefruit in my belly. It's more evident when I'm laying on my side.

What am I craving?
Ice cream floats! Even though it's been high of the low 40's and at night in the high 20's.

Aversions?
Smoke.

What do I miss?
Being able to lift stuff and not having to think about bumping in to stuff. Oh and going out dancing!

What am I looking forward to?
Finding out if baby Lammy is a boy or a girl and feeling the baby move. In non-baby news, I'm VERY excited about our new Sleep Number mattress!

Weight gain?
When I was at the dr about 10 days ago, I only gained 5lbs. I'm pretty sure it's gone up since then (most likely because of the ice cream floats).

Discovery of the week?
That we have to start touring daycares & getting on waiting lists NOW!

Things I'm thankful for?
I sent an email to some friends that have recently had babies asking for advice on products, items, etc. Everyone responded with great information that will help me decide what we need or don't need right away.

Our next appointment is on Monday, Jan 11th & I'll post an update after that. Have a great week!

These pics are being posted for you Allison!
