12 Week Update

Hello! I really need to stop saying things like "I'll be back on Tuesday to so a post on..." yeah because it never happens.

So I'm actually 13 weeks today and it has been a pretty good 4 weeks! My nausea has gone away gradually and I'm getting some energy back! I'm very excited to be entering my second trimester!

I'm amazed at how fast this pregnancy is going and I'm a little sad! I feel like I'm not giving this pregnancy as much attention as I did with Parker...I realize that I didn't have a 2 year old to take care of then but I still feel kind of guilty.

Next month we find out what our little Button is!! I am so excited about this, I haven't got a clue as to what this baby might be. I've had a couple of crazy dreams in which the baby was a girl but all of the quizzes say boy. I don't really have a preference, Michael wants a girl though so we'll just have to wait and see!

Here is my 12 week survey and a picture of the belly!

How far along? 12 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: After losing 3 pounds I'm down to 1 pound gained. 

Maternity clothes? Yes! I am so happy too because I am so much more comfortable.

Sleep: I sleep fine until time to get up and use the bathroom at 3 in the morning. After that, I can't seem to fall back to sleep.

Best moment this week: Not being nauseous!

Movement: None. 

Food cravings: None lately...

Gender: don't know yet. 

Labor Signs: No thank you.

Belly Button in or out? In. 

What I miss: Sleep!

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the sex, feeling movement, decorating the nursery

Weekly Wisdom: Rest. Don't over do it.

Milestones: 2nd Trimester baby!!!

Home Again

For those of you who noticed the new look...or just read about it on Facebook, I've been home with Parker man since yesterday.

We woke up yesterday and did our normal routine but when I went in the bedroom to kiss Parker good morning I noticed he was hot. I was surprised because he hasn't had fever in a while and he has been on antibiotics pretty much the entire month of September and is in the process of finishing one off.

Parker of course was acting mostly the same and the only thing that may have tipped me off (other than his temperature) was the fact that any and every little thing upset him and he was very clingy. He spent most of the morning in my lap instead of zooming around to play with this or that.

So today is round 2 and I'm hoping that it'll be the end of it. Poor buddy, he just hasn't had a great month. I'm so worried he's going to need another surgery to have his tubes replaced, I'd really love these ear infections to disappear!

One good thing is that today is Friday and we have all weekend to rest and get well! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Looking Good

I'm a couple of weeks late on this. The truth is, when I get home from work the last thing I want to do is get back on the computer. I'll be back Sunday or Monday with my 12 month post including another belly picture, I'm sure you're all dying to see me. Anyway, I know what you really want to see and that's our precious little Button! I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going, we'll find out if we're team blue or team pink next month!

So here it is, our first ultrasound. What a gift it was to see this baby healthy and strong!
