Week 10 :)

So this week has been so far my roughest week- based on pregnancy symptoms. Acid reflux has hit hard this week =( as well as fatigue. You would think 10+ weeks I wouldn't be so sleepy...but I am sleeping twice a day now!It maybe because I feel so awful...all day long. I am hoping tums will help me before it gets to full blown heartburn!

I also went to the gym this week :) Felt amazing! Been exercising every day and hope to keep it up! Don't wanna gain 50lbs! My goal is 30 but will be okay with 40! =P

AND I heard baby boo's heartbeat via heart doppler!! Was a steady 146-153 and went up everytime I would talk :0) So sweet! I bought my own and it should be here next week! 

I am also having more IT'S A BOY feelings...I just can't help to shake it, maybe God will prove me wrong and it will be a girl:) We will see in 9 more weeks!!! Other than that- nothing is really new this fabulous week of  week 10! :) Going to start doing weekly photos too with my preggo friend Caylyn! YAY! sucks being a photographer but not being able to take photos of yourself =P

How far along? I am 11 weeks today :)

Month: July 2012 --almost August!

Baby is as big as a: FIG! :) 

Total weight gain I am hoping with working out and being icky this week I have lost a lb or 2! =P I think I was up 4-5 last week....still steady.

Maternity clothes? not wearing them yet! I think I have a few more weeks :) I am not really showing- just a little chub in the tummy.

Stretch marks? Hopefully never!

Sleep: 2 times a day! =P

Best moment this week: getting my butt in the gym!

Miss Anything?not feeling icky! =P and I miss frozen coffees!

Movement: not yet! but baby boo did move! at my 9 week US, he/she was on the right- near my hip bone and now he/she is in the middle of my belly and a little more up!

Food cravings: plain lays chips dipped in cream cheese! (EEK!) and oatmeal cream pies..yummmm

Anything making you queasy or sick: almost everything due to the bubbly burning feeling in my tummy! but steak fajitas last night almost got me running to bathroom last night. so meat is still so icky to me! 

Gender: 9 more weeks!!

Labor Signs: Umm, no. Let’s wait until about 39 weeks, okay ;)

Symptoms: acid reflux and fatigue...that's it! still have sore boobies but not as bad as before!

Wedding rings on or off? ON! :) 

Mood: icky. want this yucky tummy feeling to go away!

Purchase Anything/Ideas: not this week! but I do need to get a few more clothes for work!

Looking forward to: going to VBS next week and roadtrip to Tennessee!! Do not wanna start working in my classroom though =P

**update- Orange juice was the culprit of my acid reflux...so NO more OJ or me!** 

Week 9 : Beach vacation!

       This past week we were on vacation in New Port Richey on our own little private beach. It was a great week- though it rained for 2 days we still had fun. We decided to take the boat out on the gulf to a little private island- and all got SCORCHED! My sunburn isn't as bad as the others- but my poor bottom lip is FRIED! Guess no one told me that being pregnant = more sensitive skin! I woke up Friday with a HUGE bottom lip, first thinking it was the seafood I ate and scared to death- but then I seen little blisters forming and knew that it was sunburned :( Hurts so stinkin' bad! =P Hopefully it goes away soon! :) but Baby Boo is still going strong! :) I was a little nervous this past week because of all the bumpy-ness on the boat in the ocean, riding 2+ miles on a bike and eating steamed oysters! but I am still confident that he/she growing strong! <3 God is amazing and has blessed us beyond what we deserve!

My poor swollen and blistered lip...=( (and some crooked teefs!)

How far along? 10 weeks 2 days! *Praise Jesus- I am so close to 12 weeks!*

Month: July 2012 

Baby is as big as a: lime!

Total weight gain:5-7lbs...some scales read differently- plus it all matters what I ate that day or even the previous night...boo bloat! =P

Maternity clothes? bought some cuuuttteee long flowy skirts and a super cute shirt for work! They aren't maternity but they are stretchy! :) I am hoping I can wear regular shirts just in a m-l-xl and not worry about maternity shirts. :) Pants on the other hand..eek! my butt is already getting bigger!

Stretch marks? Hopefully never!

Sleep: slept horrible away from home but finally got some good sleep last night!

Best moment this week: being on vacation <3

Miss Anything? I miss raw oysters, sushi and margaritas!

Movement:none yet....I always think I feel something but know it's too early.

Food cravings: chocolate covered pretzels and candy! My sour craving is now turning into sweets!

Anything making you queasy or sick: meat. I was so nauseous at Buffalo wing house...I had to just sniff my napkin the whole time. Didn't want to disrupt everyone else's dinner...and turned down tacos for cereal! meat is so icky! ew. AND peanuts!! grossss! 

Gender: no clue...wah! I wanna know! I was told by a stranger it was a boy. =P

Labor Signs: Umm, no. Let’s wait until about 39 weeks, okay ;)

Symptoms: light cramping a night time- I know it's just uterus expanding and sore boobs. That's all :)

Wedding rings on or off? ON! :) 

Mood: so happy to be home :) ready to relax again! Only have 3 weeks until school starts again! 

Purchase Anything/Ideas: some work clothes :)

Looking forward to: just relaxing and reaching that 11 week mark on Thursday! also these blistered lips to go away!

Week 8 :)

We got to see Sweet Baby Masters yesterday!! It was beyond AMAZING! I felt as if I was floating when I see it kicking it's legs, waving it's arm and moving all around- and that little heartbeat just a pumping, aww so sweet! Tears were just running down my face as the Dr. was pointing out all the body parts and measuring it :) then we heard the heartbeat! 185 bpm! such an active little thing! :) but Dr said it was a very strong heartbeat and not to worry! Everyone is now saying it's a girl due to the high heartbeat, but Dr said it's normal to be high right now- it will go down next time. Which next time isn't until 9-10 more weeks!! wahhh! I don't wanna wait that long to see my baby peanut! Wish we would have recorded it now! but still- very in love with our baby already! 

and we have a new due date- 

VALENTINE'S DAY!! :) 

How far along? I am acutally 9 weeks today! Baby Masters was measuring a day ahead!

Total weight gain: 7lbs according to doctor's scale yesterday...boo! I am thinking minus clothing and all- 5! =P

Maternity clothes? got a great deal on some motherhood jeans this past week :) 5 pairs for $35! not wearing them...but I have a feeling it will be sooner than later!

Stretch marks? Hopefully never!

Sleep: it's been a hit or miss...

Best moment this week: seeing sweet baby Masters :) and having it kick it's little legs at us <3 was one of the best moments of my life!

Food cravings: everything bagels & cream cheese (oh lordy!) & apples and peanut butter! I think I ate 5 apples within 2 days!

Anything making you queasy or sick: smell of meat cooking. ew, ew, ew. I actually got really sick last weekend over cooked shrimp. I had to run outside! but the sickness hasn't been bad at all! I am super de duper blessed <3

Gender: I am now thinking girl! Actually I am about 70% sure it will be a mini me :) I really feel it now! :)

Thought I was 8 weeks 5 days...but actually was measuring 9 weeks! :)

Week 7- so close to seeing Baby M!

 

This week has been pretty good :) I was super nauseous at the beginning, all day but for 2 days- nothing! Kinda scared me a little but of course after that 2 day break- it came back with a vengeance. I do not have morning sickness though- only afternoon/night nauseous, on the brink of being siccckkk...thank goodness I am not super sick :) and my bewbies are finally sore! YAY! lol maybe they will grow now! =P

 

Next, I am super excited for our sonogram next Wednesday! I just can not wait to have that reassurance that sweet Baby Masters is healthy! :) I am so rushing July 11th- even though I know after that, I will only have one more month of summer vacation =P I keep saying I am going to go work in my classroom, but I think I will wait until August, just where I know I am in that "safe zone" and will be able to work without having to worry about over-doing it. 

 

So yes! nothing really new...it's 4th of July and hubby has to work :(  so I am going to just sit outside with Marlee Moo and hope to see some fireworks from the house!
