16 Weeks

How far along: 16 weeks!

Size of baby:
  Baby's now the size of an avocado! Watch what you say...tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean she can now pick up your voice. A few more minuscule changes: Eyebrows, lashes, and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming.

Maternity clothes: Still wearing my own clothes, with a mix of tops and shorts. :)

Sleep:
Terrible Insomnia. I was told I could try tylenol PM to help me get through the night.

Best moment of the week:
Hearing the heart beat :)

Movement:
  Nothing yet, but we are getting close! :)

Symptoms:
Everything seems to have disappears. Now it's just insomnia!

Food cravings/aversions:
I still can't stand the smell of coffee.

Gender:
We find out on our 3 year anniversary...July 19th.

Belly button in or out:
Still an innie! :)

Stretch marks:
Oh, I've had those before baby!

What I miss:
Tequila!

What I am looking forward to:
Spending time with friends this weekend! As a well putting my house back together!

Weekly wisdom:
It's amazing what you can get done when you have to pack your house up for new carpeting!

How is Mommy Feeling? 
Tired from the insomnia.

How is Daddy Feeling? 
Lucky to be a daddy to be :)

Total weight gain? 
Really, nothing. 

The Belly? 
There is a bump, but it is still mostly fat.  My belly sticks out, but I know the baby belly is still under all that blub, so it is kinda embarrassing.

What I'm looking forward to?
Feeling the baby move, hopefully soon.  Oh and maybe sleeping at least more than 2 hours and then being wide awake.

15 Weeks!


How far along: 15 weeks!

Size of baby:
  Baby's now the size of a naval orange! Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet.

Maternity clothes: Still wearing my own clothes, with a mix of tops and shorts. :)

Sleep:
Having bad dreams about miscarrying. :(

Best moment of the week:
Starting the nursery.

Movement:
  Just some pangs and twangs here or there.

Symptoms:
Still just tired.

Food cravings/aversions:
I still can't stand the smell of coffee.

Gender:
We find out in about 3 weeks!

Belly button in or out:
Still an innie! :)

Stretch marks:
Oh, I've had those before baby!

What I miss:
Tequila!

What I am looking forward to:
Having out carpeting done!!

Weekly wisdom:
Life is good when you don't have to worry about school! :)

How is Mommy Feeling? 
 Excited to get this whole baby process going!

How is Daddy Feeling? 
Wishing he could stay home and help with all the prep work.

Total weight gain? 
 about 3 lbs this far.

The Belly? 
There is a bump, but it is still mostly fat.  My belly sticks out, but I know the baby belly is still under all that blub, so it is kinda embarrassing.

What I'm looking forward to?
Feeling the baby move, hopefully soon. 
Finding out the sex...

14 weeks!

How far along: 14 weeks!

Size of baby:   Now the size of a lemon, your baby is more fluid-like in his movements, so he’s no longer doing the jerk every time he repositions his arms and legs. Other developments this week include a roof of his own (inside his mouth, that is) as well as intestinal activity: His intestines are producing meconium (which is the waste that will make up his first bowel movement after birth). He is also sporting a downy coating of hair (lanugo) that keeps him nice and warm. Not to worry — you won't give birth to a monkey; baby fat will accumulate over the next few months and take over the function of keeping your baby warm and toasty —allowing most of that hair to shed.

Maternity clothes: Not really, My clothes still fit :)

Sleep: Blissful :) (esp when I get the bed to myself ;) )

Best moment of the week: Realizing I get to decorate the nursery!!

Movement:  Just some pangs and twangs here or there.

Symptoms: Just tired!

Food cravings/aversions: Chips and Salsa

Gender: We decided that we would like to find out :)

Belly button in or out: Still an innie! :)

Stretch marks: Oh, I've had those before baby!

What I miss: Tequila!

What I am looking forward to: Being done with the school year!!!

Weekly wisdom: Nothing seems to rattle me at the moment...

13 weeks!

How far along: 13 weeks!

Size of baby:   Baby's now the size of a peach! Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords...savor this, their nonfunctional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with his head now only one third the size of his body. And intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy -- much more convenient.

Maternity clothes: I bought comfy shorts and a belly band.

Sleep: I got a Snoolge! :) 

Best moment of the week: Singing "Haven't Met You Yet" at the baby's first Michael Buble Concert!

Movement:  My uterus is on the move!!

Symptoms:Just tired!

Food cravings/aversions: None at the moment

Gender: We decided that we would like to find out :)

Belly button in or out: Still an innie! :)

Stretch marks: Oh, I've had those before baby!

What I miss: Having lots of energy!

What I am looking forward to:Being done with the school year!!!

Weekly wisdom: Sleep, I don't think I can get enough of it right now!

We decided on baby furniture. We are going with the Urband Collection by Munire. :) Here is a picture. 
In addition, we are going to do a Tigger/Pooh theme. I have to go to BUY BUY BABY and get the border so I can get paint colors. :) We are also going to be getting new carpeting in the upstairs, which is exciting since the stuff we have now is kind of crappy! :)
I also love this video! I might steal the idea! :)
