boy or girl?

We have our ultrasound appointment at 1pm tomorrow and will find out if baby is a boy or girl.  We are SO excited!  Hoping that everything goes well and baby is healthy and if he/she cooperates we may know a name after the scan.


(Ignore the bad hair/face combo)  Also, turns out my Dallas Cowboys shirt isn't so lucky as they lost....

18 weeks

How far along? 18 weeks
Total weight gain: 0 lbs
Maternity clothes?Seriously, to anyone who is contemplating waiting to purchase maternity pants - don't!  They are so comfortable.  I have a pair of jeans, one pair of black dress pants.  Other than that I'm pretty much wearing leggings, tunics, etc but now that I have a bit of a bump, it's fun to wear tighter shirts. :)
Stretch marks? nothing yet.  The advice I keep getting it to lotion, lotion, and lotion some more.
Sleep: haven't bought my snoogle yet but I'm sleeping better so maybe I won't need it...
Best moment this week: 
feeling baby!  I'm pretty sure at least, its kind of like bubbles popping
Miss Anything?  Energy still...
Movement: Yes!  Little pops here and there.  Mostly when I'm laying on my back and it's quiet.
Food cravings: Not really.  Still liking dessert and fruit.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not right now!
Gender:  Find out on monday at our ultrasound - we might keep it our little secret though!
Labor Signs:  no.
Symptoms:  Decreased energy
Belly Button in or out?  in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Looking forward to: finding out gender and then shopping!!!!!!!

better late than never? 17 weeks

I figured it would be cool to look back and see all of this documented but it's hard to remember to do it and take a darn photo.  Oh well, we'll try now...



How far along? 17 weeks
Total weight gain: -2 lbs
Maternity clothes? I bought a pair of jeans, one pair of black dress pants, and a couple shirts.  But mainly I'm living in leggings for work and sweats at home.  Sexy, I know.
Stretch marks? none yet! Here's to hoping.  I'm bio-oiling often.
Sleep: ugh. I can not sleep through the night or get comfortable.  I'm debating trying out one of those pregnancy pillows - the snoogle.  I hear great things so maybe I'll just bite the bullet and spend the $70 (everything is more in canada..)
Best moment this week: 
eating again and actually enjoying it.
Miss Anything?  Paralyzers and my energy - where is it?
Movement: Nothing yet though I've been told we are getting close to the 'flutter' stage - can not wait! 
Food cravings: None but I definitely don't eat like I used to.  The thought of fast food is repulsive, which I suppose is a good thing.  I am enjoying sweets!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nothing! Can you believe it? I can't.
Gender:  Not sure but we can find out at our ultrasound later this month.  Haven't quite decided if we will find out, not find out or find out and keep it to ourselves
Labor Signs:  Hope not!
Symptoms:  Decreased energy
Belly Button in or out?  in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Looking forward to:  shopping for baby!
