Baby Shower!

What a fun weekend and day this was! I am so grateful for everyone who came and for all the hard work that everyone put into this baby shower!! Thank you everyone!

 We got a lot of cute clothes and other fun gifts :) 

My beautiful sisters and mamma!

I am so lucky to have such an amazing mother and mother in law! 

 Me and Bree!:)

Me and Brooke, Thanks for all your hard work that went into planning:)

So grateful for the pack n play and BOB stroller from my parents! They sure do love us, and our baby girl:) 

I cant wait to get back into running! and take my new little running buddy with me! 

25 weeks! :)

(crappy pic, but its all I have for 25 weeks)

How Far Along?: 25 weeks and 5 days, so nearly 26

Weight Gain: I dont know, I dont really weight myself. Probably like 12lbs?

Symptoms: All the sudden this week I have felt sooo tired again! I hope its just temporary and the 3rd trimester tiredness isn't already hitting me... 

Movement: So much! I love it and I can def tell she is getting stronger. She moves all day long!

Food Cravings: Nope

Food Aversions: umm not really, nothing that I didnt like before I was pregnant.

Sleep: Still not the greatest. Lately since I have felt so tired though that does help me to sleep a little better. But I still wake up and toss and turn a lot to fix my millions of pillows that I surround myself with. Sorry Braydon.

Stretch Marks: Nope!

Miss Anything?: I miss being able to bend over and have it not hurt and cut off my breathing. Im not even that big yet and its already a challenge!

Looking Forward to?: The Baby Shower!!!

Belly Button in or out?: in

Happy or Moody most of the time?: I feel happy! When I am really tired and hungry though.... that might be a little different story. but isn't that always the case?

New baby items?: not since last update

Exercise: Well this week so far has been bad. I have just been SO tired:/ but today I did the elliptical for 20 minutes and then I was pooped. at least I did something? The last 4 weeks though I have tried to work out at least 3-4 times a week, 30 minutes of cardio and then weights. I lift lighter and just do more reps. It makes me feel so much better!!!

23 week update!

How Far Along?: 23 weeks

Weight Gain: Just had a check up and they said 10lb!

Symptoms: nothing crazy, just a growing belly! :) some pain when I run sometimes...

Movement: Yes! my favorite is when I can feel her moving in multiple spots at once!

Food Cravings: Not really... although ice cream has been sounding really good lately, but thats not really anything out of the ordinary!

Food Aversions: nope!

Sleep: not that great, but I really cant complain! Braydon hates all the pillows i sleep with but its hard to  sleep on my side and stay there unless I surround myself with pillows:)

Stretch Marks: no, hopefully it stays that way

Miss Anything?: sleeping on my back...

Looking Forward to?: warm weather, school to be out!

Belly Button in or out?: still in

Happy or Moody most of the time?: I am happy!:)

New baby items?: yes! but still not too many, just a few more clothes...

Exercise: I have been doing better with exercise lately and it has made a HUGE difference in the way I feel!! I don't look any different really but I can just feel a big difference in myself. I feel so much more comfortable in my changing pregnant body when I exercise regularly and do the things I was doing before (Just modified of course!)

Week 21 update!

How Far Along?: 21 weeks and 3 days!:)

Weight Gain: not exactly sure... probably 8-9 lbs

Symptoms: I am starting to get pain in my left lower back/hip like shooting pain down my leg.. hope that doesn't last! And when I run or walk fast I get round ligament pain in my front right :/ Mostly when I try to walk or job downhill.

Movement: Yes I feel her move every day! And Braydon even felt her move once too! I can feel her from the inside and out! :) its so cool!

Food Cravings: Honey nut chex!

Food Aversions: not really

Sleep: depends on the night

Stretch Marks: nope!

Miss Anything?: my pants fitting :(

Looking Forward to?: More movement! and spring!

Belly Button in or out?: in but it looks kinda weird already. its like a straight horizontal line.

Happy or Moody most of the time?: Happy!

New baby items?: Finally yes! I bought some clothes:)

Exercise: I have been horrible lately... tomorrow I will! ;)

18 weeks pregnancy update :)

How Far Along?: 18 weeks 2 days!

Weight Gain: I don't know exactly but I think around 6-7 lbs

Symptoms: I have been SOOO lucky through my pregnancy and haven't really delt with anything too crazy. I get headaches quite a lot lately, but I feel like I have more energy than I did a month ago!

Movement: YES! this is my favorite! I have felt her kick tiny little kicks for the last week & tonight (I swear Im not making this up) I was laying on my side and felt a tiny kick so I lifted my shirt and just softly put my hand on my stomach and I FELT IT! TWICE! It made me so happy! :)

Food Cravings: Not really anything... at first I hated the thought of cereal and sweets and most anything else really. But now pretty much everything sounds good! but nothing sounds like I just have to have it!!

Food Aversions: nothing now

Sleep: Its been okay, I wake up a lot

Stretch Marks: none. I think its a little early for that still..

Miss Anything?: Being able to run and work out as hard as I can! :)

Looking Forward to?: A cute baby bump! and not just looking like I ate a lot of chocolate. which I do that too.. but I want the bump to hide it!:) & Im excited to feel more movement!

Belly Button in or out?: Def still in

Happy or Moody most of the time?: HAPPY! at least I like to think I am!

New baby items?: None yet! hopefully that changes soon!:) oh wait.. we have some diapers!

Exercise: Trying my best to exercise at least 3 times a week.. elliptical, treadmill, or bike and then light weights!
