Peektures

Here are a few pictures from the past two weeks. Ignore my funky pants in the second one. I was obviously pajama ready at that time. Our next doctors appointment is Tuesday and we're super excited to get to see our baby again.

Jason and I bought some jars of paint and are going to paint some squares on the walls in the baby room. I think as far as color goes, we're going to keep the walls neutral and then accent with colors once we know the sex of the babe. I'll take some photos of the colors that we are considering at the moment. 

Tomorrow we're 16 weeks so, expect an update. =]

Chillin'

Me and the bump. Just because. :)

Random thought

Sports bras are a miracle when you're pregnant. I don't know why I didn't try this sooner.

15 weeks + 2 days

Once again I'm a little behind on my photos. I'll update later this week with our 14 and 15 week photos.  I don't have a whole lot to update on today. Jason and I have been making more frequent trips to Babies R Us and getting an idea of what we're going to need when the baby gets here. It's overwhelming how much you need and how many options there are out there of everything. Sheesh.

Anyways - I'll leave you with this little weekly update thingy that I think I'll start doing along with our photos:

How far along? 15 weeks + 2 days.

Total weight gain/loss: 6 pounds gained.

Maternity clothes? I bought two belly bands so I can still wear my regular pants. Definitely loving maternity tops though.

Stretch marks? None so far

Sleep: I'm not sleeping well. Sleeping on my stomach is starting to be uncomfortable and I don't like sleeping on my side.

Best moment this week: Getting an afghan in the mail that my Nana crocheted for the baby.

Movement: Not feeling anything yet.

Food cravings: French vanilla ice cream

What I miss: Sleeping on my back

What I am looking forward to: My day date with Jason on Friday and our next doctors appointment.

Labor Signs: None.

Belly Button in or out? In!

Keeping Your Sexy and The Second Trimester

We're in our second trimester, everyone! I feel like the first trimester can be the most nerve-wracking. So much is happening and changing (not that there aren't things happening and changing in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, but you get what I'm saying). It's like there's a sense of relief with moving into the next stage of pregnancy and it feels good. Today we're 14 weeks + 1 day. We're a little behind on our photos as my photographer aka my husband has been working crazy hours and we just haven't had a second! But don't you fret - I'll update with a picture this week!

As I sit here sipping my coffee (it's decaf) and peruse through my social media accounts, I'm reminded that shortly the only updates I'll be seeing anywhere will be regarding the Broncos vs. Patriots playoff game. Since I'm a Green Bay fan by marriage and Green Bay is out of the playoffs - I suppose I'll be a Broncos fan for the time being. GO BRONCOS!

Speaking of the Broncos, I am a huge fan of the show Eric and Jessie on E! The show features Eric Decker of the Denver Broncos and his wife, country music singer, Jessie James embarking on that every day thing we call "life". Eric and Jessie are expecting and just did an AMAZING pregnancy spread together in GQ Magazine. Seriously - if you haven't seen it yet, check it out here. I'm a huge advocate of maternity photos. Especially ones that are unique and a bit more staged. Eric and Jessie look super sexy half naked in some of the pictures and it just goes to show that even though you're pregnant - you don't have to lose your sexy!

I'll be the first to admit that pregnancy has caused me to have a lot of fugly days. My hair is greasy and turning gray (I'm 26 people!), my face is breaking out worse than it did when I was a pubescent 15 year old, my boobs are growing exponentially, and et cetera, et cetera. When you're going through so many physical changes at once, it's a bit overwhelming. I have been blessed with a husband who still finds me attractive even on my worse days. And better yet - who still thinks I'm sexy with my little baby bump. It's freaking awesome. So, to all you pregnant ladies out there feeling down, put on some make up and roll around in your fancy panties with your husband. I promise you that you won't feel ugly afterwards.

13 Week Photo

Here's our 13 week baby bump! I swear every week my belly looks bigger. My best friend is also pregnant (she's due June 20th - a month before me) and our bumps are about the same size. It makes me a little nervous that I'm going to be HUGE. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Side note - I haven't been able to put my hair up in over a year (since I chopped it all off). Granted, there are like 20 bobby pins in there holding everything up, but I'm excited none the less! 

My afternoon queasiness seems like it's been getting worse. I try to snack throughout the day, but if I get too full, I feel sick. If I'm really hungry,  I also feel sick. I haven't quite found a happy medium, but my Preggie Pops seem to help a lot. I've also noticed that I'm more prone to motion sickness than I used to be. If I read a text message while the car is moving, I feel sick. I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing as it keeps me from texting and driving (horrible habit, I know). 

Otherwise, all is well. I think I'm going to start doing a weekly stat list along with my weekly photo. I just think it will be a cool way to track my pregnancy. Til next time, ya'll. :)

A few days late

Here's the first belly bump picture my husband took of me last week. 12 weeks + 1 day. I'm pretty excited to start taking weekly pictures. I can't wait to see how much changes every week. Grow, little bump! Grow!
