18 Weeks



How far along? 18 weeks

Total weight gain:  5lbs so far.

Maternity clothes?  Yep Yep!

Stretch marks? Not yet.

Sleep: Getting better.  Sleep has been a little rough lately.  With the weather change my sinus’ have been awful, so it’s been hard to breathe at night.

Best moment this week:  Mother’s Day! We took my mom to dinner on Saturday and had a picnic for Ben’s mom on Sunday.  Ben and Lucas woke up early on Sunday and made my Nutella crepes and bought me some pretty flowers for outside.

Miss Anything?  I think I am going through caffeine withdrawals some days.

Movement: It’s getting more frequent! 

Food cravings: Nothing in particular this week.  I’ve just been pretty hungry.

Have you started to show yet: No going back now!

Belly Button in or out? in, hopefully forever

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: happy :)

Looking forward to:  SEEING OUR BABY! On Friday we get to see the baby for the first time and we will know if we are having a boy or a girl.  I can’t wait!!

16 & 17 Weeks



How far along? 16 weeks
Total weight gain: Maybe 1-2lbs.  Still not getting on the scale until I have to!
Maternity clothes? Yes, just pants so far, but my shirts will be coming soon I’m sure
Stretch marks? Not yet.
Sleep: Still pretty sleepy.  Naps are my friend.
Best moment this week:  Spending time playing with Lucas.  He is the happiest boy I know.
Miss Anything?  Nothing in particular this week.
Movement: Just a little bit.  No kicking yet.  I’m hoping this baby doesn’t kick as hard as Lucas, I honestly thought he was going to break one of my ribs.
Food cravings: Sweet Stuff.  I was lucky enough to have the sweetest husband who ran out on Saturday afternoon in the rain to get French Toast and fruit for dinner!  Let’s just say, Mommy & Baby were thankful!

Maternity clothes?  Sure am.  Got some really great deals this week, so that was awesome!  Ready for summer time now.
Stretch marks? Not yet.
Sleep: Getting better.  Night time seems to be kind of rough. 
Best moment this week:  Ben and I celebrated 10 years of dating on Friday.  He was so sweet and planned a surprise date night back to Miami.  It’s hard to believe how much has changed in the last 10 years.
Miss Anything?  Doing good this week.  Wouldn’t have minded a nice Margarita for Cinco de Mayo though!
Movement: Feeling some random jabs every now and then.  Nothing constant yet.
Food cravings: Back to potatoes!! MMMMM Roasted Red Potatoes for dinner are delicious!

Looking forward to:  May – warm weather is getting so close!



In  other news, we celebrated my mom's surprise 50th birthday last weekend.  Her real birthday isn't until the end of May, but we didn't want her to catch on :) 


The warmer weather has made everyone happier! Lucas' favorite activity is to stand on a pile of dirt and shovel it into a bucket and then dump it back out.  He could literally do this for a hour at a time!  Looks like I know how I will be spending my summer.  Hopefully I can at least get a tan :) 



Then here is just a bonus cute picture of my little man who is looking so grown up these days!
