Week 21 :-)

Week 21

Baby size: A Pomegranate! 

How I feel about being pregnant: I'm loving it now!  After finding out what we were having, I am LOVING it!  In case you don't know, watch the video here!   

 Here are a picture of the cake :) 

Symptoms:  Just the sleeping still!  4:30am and I seem to have frequent dates! 

Maternity clothes:  They are getting cuter! 

Stretch marks: My poor belly button :(  You would think with me already being a little chunky, I wouldn't get them yet! 

Food Cravings: Still loving my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches....Goldfish...but now I have added Pop Tarts this week!  I haven't eaten them since high school.  haha.  But the cinnamon and brown sugar ones are amazing right now!

Something I've done to prepare for baby:  Started organizing stuff in the nursery!  By that I mean I have unpacked all the formula samples and piled them in groups on the crib and added 420 diapers to our diaper collection!

Funny moment: Hmmm....These moments tend to come frequently now.............

What I miss:  I'm still missing my wine!

 

What I'm looking forward to: Working on the nursery some more!

 

Best Moment of the Week: Surprising my 5th grade kiddos with the gender reveal!  Out of 27 kids (a few of them didn't get to guess on their ActiveExpression), only 3 thought its was a girl!  Then I had them guess a name, and one of them typed Kiley and one typed Mackenzie! How crazy is that!   

 

 

Least Favorite Moment of the Week: Waking up at 4:30!  At least it isn't 2:30 anymore! 

Week 20

It's a BIG week!!  We find out what Baby D is tomorrow!!

Week 20

Baby size: A small cantaloupe!  Holy moly!

How I feel about being pregnant: I can see my bump this week!  I'm actually liking it!  On Sunday I felt like a giant blob, but after taking a picture this morning, I feel much better!  (Don't mind the ugly mirror that needs cleaning!)

Symptoms:  Not sleeping!!  I was up at from 2:30-4:15 last night!  I guess it's "preparing me."  haha

Maternity clothes:  Finally starting to look semi cute!  I love shopping for them!

Stretch marks: Nada

Food Cravings: Peanut Butter and Jelly and Goldfish is still the love of my life right now!  I'm a true kid at heart!

Something I've done to prepare for baby:  Couponing for diapers and formula this week!  Thanks to Jessica who is helping me out TONS!

Funny moment: Just my usual Kristy moments!!  I did ask Jill today if she made her own baby food...It's only hysterical because Jill can make Grilled Cheese and that's about it!  Love ya Jill! ;-)    

What I miss:  WINE....WINE....WINE.....Man do I miss WINE!

What I'm looking forward to: TOMORROW's Gender Reveal and feeling Baby D move!  

Best Moment of the Week: I'm sure it will be tomorrow!

Least Favorite Moment of the Week: Waking up at 2:30am!

Week 19

Into week 19 we go!  This week has been different from last week!  It's so funny how things change so fast.

Week 19

Baby size: A heirloom tomato by the end of the week!

How I feel about being pregnant: This week I definitely feel pregnant.  I feel bloated and blah!  Plus, my indigestion has kicked in.  But its still exciting!  I'm just waiting to feel this kid already!  They say I should start feeling things, but I haven't yet.

Symptoms:  Heartburn for sure!  I ate pizza on Monday and a meatball sub yesterday.  Both contained tomato sauce and I have had heartburn for 2 days!  My back has been a achy too this week.

Maternity clothes:  Loving them!  Minus the fact that you don't realize how big you are getting!  My shirts are starting to fit tighter (I do have to say I loved the loose fittings of them!).

Stretch marks: Nada. 

Food Cravings: Peanut Butter and Jelly is like my staple in life right now!  I still like fruit although its not as tasty as it was before.  

Something I've done to prepare for baby:  We painted the nursery.  Thanks to my fabulous husband and sister, we were able to knock that out this weekend!  I'm in love with it!  It's gonna be awesome!

Funny moment: At school this week, I was telling some people that I was going to sign up for the CPI class.  It's a class for teachers and other school personnel to learn how to restrain kids.  For some reason, I didn't think anything was wrong with this.  Then, one of the girls looked at me and said, "how are you going to attempt to do this pregnant!?!?!" haha....A moment when I forget that I'm pregnant.

What I miss:  Summer clothes!

What I'm looking forward to: Feeling Baby D move!  

Best Moment of the Week: When we finished the nursery and moved the furniture against well!  

Least Favorite Moment of the Week: When my alarm goes off at 6am!  I want to throw my phone lately!

Week 18

I haven't posted since Hayden was born!  How crazy is that!  He's 5 months old now!  But boy do I love that little kiddo to pieces (and he's not even mine!)  
Anyways...we are on Week 18 of 40!  Almost to that half point. On March 21st we find out the gender!  We are beyond excited.  Yall know what Brandon and I are "crossing our fingers" for, but if it goes the other way, we will be just as excited!  I have decided that I need to keep track of all this crazy pregnancy stuff.  Maybe it will make me feel normal!  haha.  So, lets try this:

Week 18

Baby size: A sweet potato by the end of the week!

How I feel about being pregnant: I am starting to like being pregnant!  I still don't "feel" pregnant though.  My belly is getting bigger though!  I'm just not that "cute" pregnant girl since I have always had my belly!  ha ha.

Symptoms:  I'm ALWAYS tired!  I could go to bed at noon or at 4 or at 7!  I have seen a little spurt of energy, but not much.  My back is also starting to hurt more which they say is just the tendons stretching to make room for Baby D :)

Maternity clothes: It depends!  I love my maternity jeans and khaki's because they don't rub on my belly.  Shirts---I can still wear anything really.

Stretch marks: Nope, none that weren't there before!  :-) 

Food Cravings: I wouldn't say I have "cravings."  They really are aversions.  Yesterday at the grocery store, where I normally pick up my cottage cheese, fruit, bagels, and orange juice, the cottage cheese did not sound appetizing!  So, I decided that Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches were for lunch this week!  That's a change up.  We will see how that goes! I need more iron, so this whole not eating meat thing isn't working out in my favor!   

Something I've done to prepare for baby:  Still looking at nursery colors and even helped my sister with ideas for the shower!

Funny moment: At Moe's yesterday, the girl in front of me ordered Nachos.  This is normally not an issue.  However, she ordered mushrooms and the watery stuff dripped all over the place and about made me toss my cookies nachos. So, when I ordered my food, I wasn't looking at the lady.  My sister looks at her and says, "She's not crazy....just pregnant!"  ha ha.  That's her excuse for me with everything right now!  We thought it was hilarious.

What I miss: Warm weather! 

What I'm looking forward to: Hopefully any week now to start feeling the baby move. I know Baby D is doing jumping jacks all day on my bladder, but I would really like to feel something else!  

Best Moment of the Week: When I got my Shamrock Shake from McDonald's after a stressful day!  ha ha.  Pathetic, I know. 

Least Favorite Moment of the Week: My mood swings!  They are brutal!!!!! 

Special moment: When my sister shared with me what the theme for my baby shower would be!  It was so sweet!  She really took the time to think about what I love and it's going to be perfect!  I know it!  2pts for Katie!
