15 Week Bump Update

Sorry I'm just posting this now, but I have been meaning to take a picture and post an update and we finally got around to doing it. I turned 16 weeks on Wednesday so I will have an update on Monday!! 

I look silly in this picture! haha

How far along? 15 weeks and 6 days

Total weight gain:  I currently gained a total of 4lbs.

Maternity clothes? Work pants and a pair of shorts. I also have some tights that I have and are not maternity but are so comfy.

Stretch marks? Just the same little stretch mark as last week.
Sleep: I have been sleeping well, except for waking up with an aching back. R recently bought me a maternity pillow so I hope it helps.
Best moment this week: Hearing Baby B’s when I went to the Dr. on Monday. I wasn’t feeling well and hearing the sweet sound just makes my day!

Miss Anything? Soda! I hardly drank soda pre-pregnancy and now I want it!
Movement:  I haven’t felt anything yet, and possibly could be mistaking it for gas. Haha I can’t wait to start feeling Baby B.
Food cravings:  Still Fruit, Fruit, and more Fruit!! Especially Strawberries and Pineapple topped with lime and chili powder
Anything making you queasy or sick:  The smell of coffee at work!
Gender: We will find out on November 8^th  I’m counting down the days till we finally get to see if Baby B is a boy or girl! I’m ready to shop!!

Labor Signs:  No labor signs for a long while

Symptoms: I have been feeling better, except when I’m at work. The smell of coffee and work has me so nauseous.

Belly Button in or out? Still an innie
Wedding Aggie ring on or off?  Aggie Ring still fits
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy with my random emotional moments

Looking forward to: Our appointment on November 8^th. We have one with the OB at 8:30 and then go for out anatomy scan at 10:30!! I’m so excited to find out if Baby B is a boy or girl! We invited R’s mom and my parents to go along with us and find out. I can’t wait to see Baby B!! 

This weeks thoughts:
I'm so anxious to see if Baby B is a boy or girl!! I'm ready to go shopping and start looking for furniture and bedding. I still haven't felt any movements, and can't wait for the first litte flutters. I have been pretty emotional lately. Everything bothers me sometimes. I'm happy one minute and then all of a sudden start crying for no apparent reason. I think a lot has to do with work being so stressful, and I'm not letting it get to me. I'm so tired with work right now and think its time for a career change. Other than that, I am pretty happy and excited for Baby B! I have so much love for this little one, its unbelievable. 

Friday Letters

Dear Friday, Thanks for coming rather quickly this week! That means I'm one more week closer to seeing my little one!!

Dear Work, I am one exhausted preggo!! I can't do as much as before but please stop being so busy and cut me a little slack.

Dear Baby B, I love you so Very much!! You mean so much to me already and I can't wait to start feeling your little movements soon.  

Dear Cooler Weather, thanks for finally making it into Houston. I think its time to shop for some preggo fall outfits. 

Dear Lexi, I know you love Baby B already, but you have to give mommy some tummy and leg room!! Hogging up the bed is going to have to stop soon.

Dear Bills, Please go away for a month. You are killing me, but I guess it's all part of being an adult right? 

Dear Weekend, I don't look forward to you since this is my weekend to work. Please be nice to me!! 

Dear R, I'm sorry for hogging up the bed last night  all the time. It's just so darn comfy and that cuddle pillow you bought me just makes me sleep like a rock. You are so Amazing and have been there for me when I'm one big emotional wreck. I'm so glad you are in my life, and I can't wait to spend many more days with you. xoxo

Weekend In Review

This past weekend I was invited to go have breakfast with R's family early in the morning and after walk around the Farmers Market in The Heights. 

I woke up at 6:15 am when R was leaving for work and started getting ready to make it to his parents house by 7:30. It felt like I was getting up for work on my day off, but it was worth it. 

We went to have breakfast at the Spanish Flowers Mexican Restaurant in The Heights. The food was so good, but I have to say morning sickness started to hit when I walked in the door. If it wasn't for a prescription the doctor gave me, breakfast wouldn't have been possible. 

After breakfast we headed on down to a huge farmers market in The Heights. I have been wanting to go to a farmers market, but R's schedule is so crazy we can never find the time on the weekend. I had a great time with his family that day. I had a mango with chili powder that was delicious  (Thanks to my fruit and chili powder cravings!! haha) R's sister and I have been wanting to try butternut squash soup, so his mom bought some squash and we went back to the house to cook soup for lunch.

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Some pictures from the Farmer's Market and Butternut Squash Soup

Craving a snowball and Lexi sitting by baby and waiting for daddy!! 

Sunday we finally got around to carving pumpkins
R's is so shiny!! He sprayed it with veggie spray so it wouldn't mold....haha

How was your weekend? Did you do anything exciting? 

14 Week Bump Update

Happy Monday!

  I just wanted to give you an update on the bump!! Oh my, is it growing. I am a little more than a week behind on the updates. I'm such a horrible blogger these days. I actually like taking pictures the day before I enter the next week. I turned 15 weeks last Wednesday, so I will have an update for everyone this coming week. 

Sorry for the late 14 week Bump Update 

How far along? 14weeks

Total weight gain:  I have gained 3lbs. so far
Maternity clothes? Still just a pair of work pants and 2 pairs of maternity shorts

Stretch marks? Just the same little stretch marks as last week. They are still on the ladies up top! Cocoa Butter has been my friend from here on out!
Sleep: Recently I have been finding my left side is the most comfortable position. Once I hit the bed I’m out until I have to get up and use the ladies room.
Best moment this week: Hearing Baby B’s heartbeat at our 14-week appointment. He/she has a heartbeat of 155 BPM

Miss Anything?  Sushi!!
Movement:  I have had these tingly feelings and I think that was Baby B! It’s usually when I’m laying down or crazy busy at work. I don’t think it’s gas either. Haha
Food cravings:  Fruit, Fruit, and more Fruit!! Especially Strawberries and Pineapple topped with lime and chili powder
Anything making you queasy or sick:  The smell of toast in the break room. Yuck!!
Gender: We will find out on November 8^th for our anatomy scan. I say it’s a girl and R thinks it’s a boy. According to the Chinese calendar we are having a girl, so lets see how accurate that is next month.
Labor Signs:  No labor signs for a long while

Symptoms: So I thought morning sickness was going away, but apparently not. I was sick over the weekend as well as Monday at work. What happened with no morning sickness in the 2^nd trimester?? lol

 Belly Button in or out? Still an innie (I have had two dreams that my belly button was an outtie and I freaked out. I work up checking my belly button each time to make sure it was still an innie!) haha
Wedding Aggie ring on or off?  Aggie Ring still fits, even though some days it seems loose.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I have been pretty happy these past couple days. I do have to say I have also been pretty emotional. I was so frustrated and emotional one night and R kept asking what was wrong and I was biting his head off. Oopps…I didn’t mean to!!

Looking forward to: Our appointment on November 8^th. We have one with the OB at 8:30 and then go for out anatomy scan at 10:30!! I’m so excited to find out if Baby B is a boy or girl

I working on more most for the week, so I hope I can keep up with the blogging like before! 

October Meetup

This week has flown right by!! I finally have a day off today and can't wait to see the little one today at my 14 week appointment. 

Sunday I had the pleasure of meeting up with some wonderful ladies for brunch. It started off at The Tasting Room here in Houston and of course if your in Uptown Park you have to stop for some cupcakes, right??

Here is a look into Sunday afternoon: 

    

     I don't quite remember what this was called but it sure was delicious. It was wheat bread topped with spinach, eggs, sausage, and cheese. It was so yummy!!

Some pictures with some wonderful blogger friends! It was great meeting new ladies. 

Of course we had to get an Aggie shot 

I have missed this girl! Go visit her blog here

It was great seeing you Bri! Go visit her here

It was great catching up with Darby as always!! Check out her blog here

Of course this preggo had to go and purchase some sweets to take back home to R!! We went down to Crave and I purchased a variety! 

TL-BR: German Chocolate, Nutella, Strawberry, and Red Velvet
 Before bed, I had to fix my craving!! Recently I have been craving pineapple and strawberries with lime and chili powder!! Gross?? Not at all, it is so good! Give it a try! 

Did you have any weird pregnancy cravings or currently craving the strangest things?

13 Week Update

Happy Tuesday!!!

I know this is a little late, and I have been meaning to post about it but have been so drained with work when I get home. I just wanted to give you ladies a recap of how week 13 is going.

We have our 14 week appointment on Thursday and can't wait to see Baby B!!

How far along? 13 weeks

Total weight gain:  Haven’t gained any weight yet!
Maternity clothes? I have a pair of work pants and a pair of maternity shorts that fit so much more comfortably now

 Stretch marks? OMG…. the ladies up top are starting to get some and a little on the sides of my stomach! (Hello Cocoa Butter Cream)
Sleep: Once I’m out I don’t wake up till about 2am and then 5am to use the ladies room. Oh, and once I’m out I have the weirdest dreams!
Best moment this week: Getting Baby B his/her first Build-A-Bear
Miss Anything?  After hanging out with friends on Saturday for some Aggie football, a Dos XX’s sure looked delicious. I also miss eating Sushi.
Movement:  No movement yet, hopefully I can feel Baby B in the next couple of weeks
Food cravings:  Strawberries and Pineapple topped with lime and chili powder; Pancakes
Anything making you queasy or sick:  The smell of pretzels at work!
Gender: Not sure yet
Labor Signs:  No labor signs for a long while

Symptoms: Queasy every now and then, but for the most part morning sickness has lessened.

 Belly Button in or out? Still an innie
Wedding Aggie ring on or off?  Since I don’t have a wedding ring, the Aggie ring will have to do! It seem as if it is getting looser.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I have honestly been moody, but other than my moments I’m pretty happy.
Looking forward to: Our 14-week appointment on Thursday. Maybe the Dr. can see if we are having a little boy or girl! 

Last week R and I went out for breakfast and spent our day off walking around the mall. 

We enjoyed breakfast at Cafe K in the Heights. Their food is so yummy, and of course I had to have some pancakes and a side of egg. I sure did look pretty hungry when she brought me two plates, lol 

We also stopped at Build-A-Bear to look and ended up walking out with this little guy for Baby B!! We always call each other monkeys, and knew we had to get it for the baby!! 

I hope your having a Happy Tuesday!! If your a Houstonian, have you been to Cafe K in the Heights? If not, you have to go and give them a visit!!
