Week 14 & baby appointment :)

 

     This has been a crazy week with school starting and all but overall pregnancy wise- I feel amazing :) I really have grown alot this past week and can really tell that baby boo is growing larger and larger. My belly is finally getting hard and even though I thought I was small- my midwfe, Shelly says I am actually larger than I think. My uterus is actually 2-3 weeks ahead of 15 weeks and either I am further along or baby boo is BIG! :) guess we will see....

ON SEPTEMBER 25th!! We get to see if baby is a GIRL or BOY! YAY! :) We have our gender reveal party scheduled for the 30th to tell our families! I can't wait :) 

At my appointment (15 weeks 1 day) babies heartbeat was 155(!!) and was actually sitting in the middle of my belly oppose to the right side where she/he likes to hibernate ALWAYS! 

but downfall is I have gained 15lbs in 15 weeks, according to dr scale. My home scale says 11lbs but still it's alot. Shelly doesn't seem to concerned as long as I watch what I eat and exercise! Hopefully my weight will steady out and I won't gain as fast. Going to start really watching what I eat (that means kicking my apple juice and ravioli habit) and starting to walk everyday!

How far along? 14 weeks 

Month: August 2012

Baby is as big as a: lemon

Total weight gain:gained 12-15lbs...but definitely going to work on it and try to maintain the 15 weight gain for the next 4-5 weeks!

Maternity clothes? yessss ma'am! They are so comfortable! :) 

Stretch marks? none yet! Praying they will never come.

Sleep: getting a little better.

Best moment this week: hearing babies heartbeat and knowing she/he is doing great :) and meeting my kiddos on Monday

Food cravings: canned raviolis! wahh...they are killing me! and grapes!

Missing: summer vacation! 

Anything making you queasy or sick:nope! thankfully :)

Looking forward to: growing more with baby boo and seeing what it is in a MONTH!!! <3

15 weeks 1 day

15 weeks 2 days

15 weeks 3 days

I am obsessed with my bebe bump! =P I will try to take only one picture a week...LOL

Week 13: What a week!

This week I had to start working again...really miss summer vacation already! but I am hoping that working and moving around everyday will help me lose/maintain my weight better. Over the summer I watched alot of lifetime movies and kept the couch warm so my weight started to quickly then slowly creep up...more than the "recommended" amount for sure. =/ I am praying my weight starts to even out and slow down now that I am in my 2nd trimester :) YAY!

so yes, this week getting my classroom together was stressful. Even Momma called out of work one day to help me get everything together! I will have to post pictures soon! Loving my new curtains my Mom made me and the way my classroom looks now :)

Met my new kids on Thursday, and praying for a fantastic year this year! Maybe they will be sweet and caring since I am pregnant. :) Can only hope and pray!

This week though I have been a little down and out though. I am having a complex about this weight gain and body changing thing. I've cried a few times because though I know I am pregnant...I just look chubby. =/ not pregnant at all. Vernon says he notices I have been a little down and out about my looks so he has been really sweet to me :) Just gaining weight (getting fat) scares me but VERY thankful for the blessing God has given me :) I can not wait to see our baby boo again!!! I am hoping we can see him/her within the next 5-6 weeks! Just seems so far away...=(

How far along? 13 weeks

Month: August 2012

Baby is as big as a: PEACH! :)

Total weight gain: I don't even wanna know...=( I am hoping I am maintaining at +10lbs.

Maternity clothes? Only jeans because my regular jeans are super tight on my tummy.

Stretch marks? really need to start rubbing lotion on my belly (and everywhere else) I try to remember but not every night.

Sleep: Is so-so. I think the excitement of starting school has got me not sleeping well.

Best moment this week: meeting my kids at school :)

Nicknames:Baby Boo or Sweet Baby Masters

Food cravings: raviolis and butter bread has been a major craving! and peanut butter/chocolate protein shakes.

Missing: my smaller body, my cute work clothes, and seeing baby boo on a sonogram.

Anything making you queasy or sick: not in a while.

Gender: Thinking more girl now because the way I am getting wiiiddde..but we will see sooner than later!

Symptoms: boobies are sore and sometimes cramps from stretching.

Belly Button in or out? innie! Just took my belly ring out and have a belly ring tan line! =P

Mood: blessed! excited, exhausted and anxious to see baby boo.

Exercise: was doing very well with going to gym and walking but this week it's only been working hard in my classroom! 

Looking forward to: one last relaxing weekend before school starts again! I also have a doctor's appointment on Friday...but not sure if I am looking forward to it. It will tell me if my baby has down sysyndrome and other birth defects..=/ plus the weight gain thing. EEK! but I'd love to hear baby boo's heartbeat again!! :)

13 weeks and 5 days...wishing I had a REAL baby belly and not look like I have ate 100 donuts!

Week 11 & 12 :0)

I have been so busy working in my classroom getting ready for this school year, I forgot to update last week! OOPS!

Nothing really excited happened though except I am now into the 2nd trimester!  WHOO HOO! :) Relief. I also got my baby heart doppler in and finally found the heart beat!

@ 12 weeks 4 days the heart beat was 163. It has ranged from 158-163 since week 9. I am thinking baby Masters is now a girl :) I had my boy moments- but as time goes on, I am totally feeling girl! I am getting wiiiiddddeee, have terrible skin and not "glowy" like them women with boys! =P so now my guess is a girl. We will find out in about 6-7 weeks...eek! HURRY! 

How far along? 12 weeks and 6 days today! YAY 2nd trimester. 

Month: August 2012

Baby is as big as a: PEACH!

Total weight gain haaa...9-10lbs. =( I am not happy but as long as baby boo is growing healthy, I am tying not to stress. I am hoping it slows down during 2nd trimester! My goal is 35-40lbs.

Maternity clothes? wore a pair of capris the other day- COMFYYY! :)

Stretch marks? nope...bought some momma bee belly butter- hoping it will help keeping them away!

Sleep: still exhausted, then again I am not use to working then going to gym after either.

Best moment this week: going to VBS with Caylyn (week 12) and running a mile in 13 mins!

Miss Anything? sushi. Shrimp tempura is just not the same!!! I also miss my flat tummy and my pre-pregnancy clothes. Nothing is fitting....wah!

Movement: nope..=( I thought I felt something yesterday but I know it's all in my head.

Food cravings: hit hard this week! BLOCK CHEESE is my favorite, ravioli with butter bread, miso soup and anything cold (yogurt, ice cream, cheese) *Week 11 was hot dogs & macandcheese, cheese and crackers, & skittles*

Anything making you queasy or sick: I have actually felt so icky after eating breakfast lately. =(

Gender: I am thinking girl! We will see in 6-7 weeks!

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

Symptoms: queasy after breakfast, headaches, and still tired!

Wedding rings on or off? ON! :) 

Mood: ready to see what Sweet Baby Masters is! :) 

Purchase Anything/Ideas: got some clothes for school, burt's bees belly butter and I think that's all.

Looking forward to: meeting my kids on Thursday! :)

I feel like I am getting WIIIIDDDEEE...maybe girl? =)
