These weeks are flying by - Week 13

No belly pictures to share yet :]  

 

How far along: 13 weeks

Maternity clothes: Nope. Though we did go to Target last night and I found a few nice shirts.

Stretchmarks: Nope

Sleep: Still sleeping a ton.  I think it is contagious because my anti-nap husband has started napping with me. Makes me feel better to know he isn't being productive while I sleep my afternoon away.

Morning sickness: Not really. It has been a lovely week. But I will say that brushing my teeth makes me gag everyday. It is awful.

Movement: Not yet

Food cravings: I was craving Pit Stop so flippin bad on Monday so we drove to BC to indulge and it was 'closed for renovations'. So off we went to Evans. I have lived out of Boulder for too long; I forgot they are closed on Mondays. So Tuesday we finally were able to have Pit Stop. It made me so frickin sick. No more Pit Stop :[
Food aversions: ^^^^^^^

Have you started to show yet: Not quite.

Gender prediction: Boy.

Labor signs: No.

Belly button in or out: Definitely in.

Wedding rings on or off: On

Milestones this week: Hmmmm, Finally getting over my sickness. I have felt 10 times better and even a little less tired than I have been. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy. I think this week has been a relatively good one.

Miss anything: Well it is Summer and that usually calls for a trip to Cali for Six Flags or Knotts Berry Farm. No roller coasters for me.
Looking forward to: 4D Ultrasound in 21 days!

12 weeks - Bye-Bye first trimester!

Whoohoo! Three months in! We are 1/3 of the way through! I will now start with a pregnancy questionnaire I found and stole some questions from Mrs. Willard and pieced together ;]  That way I wont ramble on as much!

How far along: 12 weeks

Maternity clothes: None. I have started to look just to be ready. I found a maternity store in the Fashion Show mall.

Stretchmarks: Nope

Sleep: Lots of it. I nap on a regular basis. Although, I am wide awake at 4a.m. most mornings. So that is kind of annoying.

Morning sickness: Unfortunately, yes. It usually occurs either right before my afternoon nap or right after. Still haven't actually puked but sometimes I think I would feel better if I would.

Movement: Haven't felt the movement yet. We were able to see Baby thrash around and that really made it set in that I am making a human being :]

Food cravings: Farm Basket. I think most Vegas natives know what Farm Basket is. There is only one in town; it is on the corner of Jones and Charleston. It is 23 miles from our house. Last Friday I HAD to have it after work; so we went. I have wanted it everyday since. I might have to treat myself today to a Clucker Sandwich.  That is the only thing I will ever eat Miracle Whip on and it is just so good.
Food aversions: Pizza. We ate Pizza last weekend and I think it may have totally ruined it for me. It was so greasy. 

Have you started to show yet: Not really. As you can see in the picture there isn't a whole lot going on yet. *Kinda wish I wouldn't have had my belt on for the picture*

Gender prediction: Boy. I think it is a boy because everyone is so sure it is a girl. Only 3 more weeks until we find out!

Labor signs: No.

Belly button in or out: Definitely in.

Wedding rings on or off: On

Milestones this week: Well last week we were able to hear the heartbeat and I think it will be hard to top that for a while

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most days but I tend to have a really short fuse so it really doesn't take much for me to become moody.

Miss anything: Honestly, I miss drinking all the caffeine. My body went through a lot quitting nicotine and the high amount of caffeine intake on a daily basis. I blame that for a lot of my headaches and tiredness.
Looking forward to: Actually looking pregnant and not just feeling like it. If that makes sense? I l know women will tell me 'Oh no, you don't want to be huge and miserable.' I would rather have a real reason to feel miserable.

11 Weeks

Yesterday was Dr. appointment number 2!

After over an hour in the waiting room I finally stepped on the scale.  Much to my surprise I have lost weight?  However, I am eating healthier[[usually]].  We were able to see baby's arms and legs in the ultrasound.  He/She was sure thrashing around in there.  Finally got to hear the heartbeat.  Absolutely breathtaking.  Baby went from .84 CM to 4.21 CM in a matter of a month.  Wow

By my next appointment we will know the gender of the little nugget!  My doc wont do a gender check until 19 -20 weeks but I am able to go to a 4D ultrasound place and find out at 14-15.  My only concern is that they look like little aliens this early in the 4D images.  I'm not sure I even want to see that.

This week has been a tough one!  Hormones are not treating me well.  Or maybe that is just my excuse that I never had for being completely out of my mind?  Morning sickness has ceased for now.  I am SO thankful for that.  I am still tired as ever.  I don't think I have been up on time all week.  I was practically nodding off in the waiting room yesterday.  Cannot wait for that to pass as well.

I am still missing my caffeine.  But other than that all is well here!  

The awesome 'new mom' comments from people are already getting old.  Yes, I have changed plenty of diapers in the past.  I am aware that I wont fit into these jeans, thank you.  Yes, I know I look like crap today.  Thank you for letting me know how much sleep I won't be getting. 

If people would just keep their mouths shut the world would be a better place.

10 weeks

 

I skipped last week so hopefully there will be more to say this week! 

 Sick, sick, sick.  That is all I have been lately. And tired of course. I finally convinced Austin to buy me a bigger bed. Sleeping on a queen sized bed with him and my enormous body pillow just isn't working out. I just want to sprawl out. I am not looking forward to the day I can no longer sleep on my tummy so I am taking full advantage of that.  

My second appointment is next Thursday. I can't believe the countdown is already down to 5 weeks to find out the gender! This is going by way too fast. I will say I am looking forward to the second trimester.  Everyone says I should feel better. I sure hope they are right.  I am over being tired 24/7.  

We are thinking the little nugget is a girl.  Everyone else seems to think so too. So we will see who will owe us money when it turns out to be a baby boy!  

 

8 Weeks

I just want to make note that this is my stomach prior to Baby Kemper.

(Our mirror is filthy. Please excuse) 

Wow. I can't believe it has already been six weeks since we found out I was pregnant.  Eight weeks in and it has already been an adventure.

My hormones are driving me((and I'm sure everyone else))insane.  I am so glad Austin just lets me yell or comforts me when I cry.  I have no clue what I would do without him.  On the bad days he picks me up and reassures me that everything will get better soon. 

I haven't been getting morning sickness.  However, I can't seem to get enough sleep.  At about 2 p.m. everyday I just want to put my head down at work and nap.  I am not quite sure if this would be approved of though.  So instead, I nap for about a hour when I get home and generally I feel pretty good after that.  I am looking forward to this passing.

Not a whole lot to report yet. 

Our First Appointment - 7 weeks

Today was my first doctor appointment.  I was shaking nervous the entire time but I was thankful Austin had taken the day off to help ease my nerves.  Our due date is January 4, 2013.  I am already counting down the 8 weeks left until we find out the gender.  Everyone is telling me 'girl'. 

I will admit these last few weeks have been rough. Hormones sure know how to get the best of me, but I am happy to say that the husband has been very understanding.  On the higher note I haven't been feeling as sick, just tired.  Tonight is my last college course until after baby arrives so it will be a nice break.  I eat pickles like they are going out of style.  I REALLY miss Dr. Pepper.  Caffeine free soda just doesn't do it for me.

Six Weeks

Six weeks down and my first doctor appointment is next Wednesday. On top of the ALL-DAY-Sickness, I have been very congested. I believe it is my body draining the last 3 years of smoking out of my chest. Quitting is not easy. I thought it would be easier knowing I have an awesome reason to quit. Well as it turns out, being pregnant is kind of stressful sometimes and I am[[WAS]] a stress smoker. Thankfully my husband is awesome; he quit chewing to support me.I finally started eating healthier. Still drinking a ton of water.

And yes I know it is a little soon to be buying clothes; I couldn't help myself.
