New title.

Well, I supose Dave and I aren't exactly "newlyweds" anymore, so I decided we needed a new, more permanant title!

We had an ultrasound last week at what was supposed to be 12 weeks...the baby is perfect and measuring 12 weeks 3 days! Each appointment the baby seems to measuring a bit further ahead...Oh boy I am going to have a 10lb babe! The baby looked amazing, moving all around, kicking it's little legs, too cute!

Last Monday Dave and I headed over to South Bend (I actually had a work holiday on the same day as him for once!) And we decided to make a trip to Babies R Us. Well, Dave suggested that we start the registering process since his busy season will be starting soon and we really wont have too many more chances to get out there. So we registered for all of the non gender specific things, and we had so much fun! We spent forever looking at everything and trying strollers and carseats and toys! I cannot believe how fast time seems to be going!

Ok, now for the weekly quiz...


How far along?: 13 weeks 2 days (which apparently means I am in my 14th week...it's all very confusing)

•How big is baby?: Baby Jellybean is the size of a large lemon!


•Maternity clothes?: Yep...

•Stretch marks?: No, ok thats not true. I have one precarius little mark that seems to be a baby strechy...I am hoping I am wrong.

•Sleep?: Meh...the same, up a couple times at night.


•Best moment this week?: Playing with my registry and planning baby purchases! And possibly movement....

•Movement?: Wellll....the other night I was laying flat on the couch (on my back) and I suddenly began to feel a fluttry quivering sensation in my lower abdomen. Maybe baby?

•Food cravings?: Not really any cravings this week, just trying to get myself to eat! I am still sick at night and I get so full so fast that I hardly eat anything!


•Labor signs?: None, and we'd like to keep it that way.


•Belly button in or out?: Innie.

•What I miss: Eating a normal meal!


•What I'm looking forward to: Finding out the sex! I am dying to know!

•Milestone: The "movement"

Oh how He LOVES us.

Cardboard testimonies. Mine?
Lost mom when I was 20, husband diagnosed with Testicular Cancer in our first year of marriage, unsure if we would ever have children. Thought God walked away from me.


Husband is Cancer free, and we are pregnant, God always has a plan!

11 Weeks!

**I will try to get a bump picture up this week**

I apologize for the extreme lack of blogging...however my best friend has unfortunately become the toilet...not cute. I seem to be feeling a bit better these days so the plan is from here on out to blog at least once a week with the happenings of Dave and I and baby Jellybean.


•How far along?: 11 weeks



•How big is baby?: Jelly is the size of a small lime! Holy cow!


•Maternity clothes?: Um...YES. I was going to wait. Really, I was! But the bloat got out of control and now it's getting hard..and gosh darn it I was ready for an elastic waist!


•Stretch marks?: Nope...at least not yet!


•Sleep?: Eh. I am for sure tired all the time but the "sleeping like a rock" thing is kind of out the window for now (and probably forever). I wake up a lot at night and always have to get up at least once or twice to go to the bathroom.

•Best moment this week?: Hmmmmm. Probably getting maternity pants. Thats sad. But stay tuned! Next week will be much more fun in the Jellybean dept.

•Movement?: None that I can feel, but knowing my kid he's doing backflips!


•Food cravings?: Fruit, fruit and more fruit. Strawberries, lemons, kiwi, oranges, grapes...you name it!

•Labor signs?: None, and I would like to keep it that way.



•Belly button in or out?: Innie.

•What I miss: Going to bed at night and not waking up until my alarm goes off. Oh and being able to eat a meal. I usually get halfway through and am STUFFED then in an hour I am ravenous.

•What I'm looking forward to: Our NT scan next Tuesday!


•Milestone: I am starting to feel a bit calmer as my first trimester comes to a close (in a week or so) and the whole not hugging the toilet all day thing is pretty nice!
 
 
As a side note, week before last (at 9 weeks) we had our first appointment and we were able to see Jellybean...it was one of the best moments of my life!
