25 Weeks | Size of a Rutabaga

How far along? 25 weeks

Maternity clothes? Yep!  I definitely like to pick and choose from oversized non-preggy clothes, but still throw in a good dose of maternity.  It is mostly rather .... umm .... aging, if you ask me!

Stretch marks? No, thankfully.

Sleep: Is a little rough.  I'm not requiring as much lately, however.

Best moment this week: Watching Daddy get his first few responses while talking with Bebe.  I'll forever cherish these precious, amazing little moments!

Miss Anything?  I miss getting a real massage.  We are in every other week and it's great, but I'm ready to have my stomach-lying privileges back.... in 15 weeks ;-)

Movement:  Non-stop!  He moves a lot in the middle of the night; I have a theory about this....

Food cravings:  Nothing.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just the flu!  Unfortunately, Aaron and I have suffered a bit from this nastiness!

Gender: All boy!

Labor Signs:  I've had my fair share of Braxton Hicks recently.  I had quite a few during a workout the other day so took it easy the rest of the week.

Symptoms: There is no denying this belly.  Just sayEN!

Belly Button in or out?  In. Out.  I'm working on the full-blown outie.

Wedding rings on or off?  On. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Just happy :-)

Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery!  Well, Christmas and Aaron's birthday, too! 

20 Weeks | Length of a Banana

Getting ready to watch the Salinas wedding!  It was great to be a part of their special day!

How far along?  20 weeks - Halfway!!

Total weight gain/loss: I still don't like this question... in fact, this is the last time you'll see this one!

Maternity clothes? Still in my jeans and a FEW of my shirts, with the help of a belly band!

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: Just fine.

Best moment this week: Being able to see the bebe move - not just feel!

Miss Anything?  Caffeine and real workouts!!

Movement:  Constantly and I LOVE it!!  I think I'm growing a ninja!

Food cravings:  Nothing, really.... for the majority of the pregnancy, to be honest.  I'll have one occasionally but not enough of one to actually go after it!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Only exhaustion.

Gender: HE'S A BOY!

Labor Signs:  No.

Symptoms: Still headaches. :-(

Belly Button in or out?  In.

Wedding rings on or off?  On. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Heading to KC to share a little bit of this pregnancy with my oh-so-curious (& slightly left out) family!  It has definitely been a struggle to have them so far away during such an amazing time.

Stuff I'm Lovin'

Aaron and I were on a huge pursuit to find a non-diaper bag.  We needed something functional, yet stylish and manly, yet feminine.  We pulled it off.  Agree?

Petunia Pickle Bottom - Scout - Journey Pack in Heathered Grey

I ran across this darling little swaddled blanket for 1/2 price.  I love a deal.  I equally love unisex finds!

I'm really into the bumper-less bedding currently and found this sweet little sheet.  I think it'll have to be returned if we don't have a girl....

I've actually managed to avoid any other shopping -- err, purchases -- for now.  Only a few more days until we can start stockpiling the goods!

18 Weeks | Size of a Bell Pepper

How far along? 18 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I don't like this question.  Next, please.

Maternity clothes? Still working my pre-preggy clothes.  I do rock the belly band though! (Miracle worker, that thing!)

Stretch marks? No.  *fingers crossed*

Sleep: Not so shabby.  I'm coming into the RLS days.  But so is my hubs, so perhaps its my age, rather?!

Best moment this week: Watching my husband experience the Bebe moving for the very first time.  I cried.  Yep.

Miss Anything?  Not really.

Movement:  YES!  It is the most beautiful feeling!!  Bebe moves tons in the morning and then at bedtime <-- Hoping this isn't confusion!

Food cravings:  Nothing, really.  Food has been an interesting thing lately.  Don't want it but sure do need it.  Besides, no one takes pleasure in a hangry (hungry to the point of angry) pregnant chick!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells.  They are only intensifying.  Blehk.

Gender: Still dang sure that we're having a girl.  Judging by impromptu polls, so are our friends and family members!

Labor Signs:  No.

Symptoms: Early to bed, early to rise.  Oh, and headaches.

Belly Button in or out?  In.

Wedding rings on or off?  On. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Tuesday, November 6th.  We get the incredible opportunity to learn more about Bebe's health and...... well...... whether he's a she he, she's a he she, she's a she he..... Boy or Girl!

15 Weeks | Size of an Apple

I had the pleasure of attending a costume Bridal Shower for one of my favorite friends this week!  My husband is Aleut so dressing as an Eskimo was kind of fun - and he thought it was 'sexy'. Ha! =)

How far along? 15 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I can honestly say that I have no clue.  I'll know on Tuesday after my appt.

Maternity clothes? Not yet.  I did snag some steals this past week though!

Stretch marks? No.  (I dread ever having to answer 'yes' here.)

Sleep: Like a puppy.  I would nap every few hours if I could.  Isn't this supposed to cease in the 2nd?!

Best moment this week: Having quite a few people notice that it's a bump, rather than a spare tire!

Miss Anything?  Just sushi - still.  I miss hiking in the mountains, too.  Have to stay in low altitude. :(

Movement:  Still waiting for the flutters to start!!

Food cravings:  I've been craving soda a lot.  I am not much of a soda drinker, so this has been odd, but I only have sips here and there of Aaron's.  Nothing else has really been a 'must have' craving.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Lack of sleep and not eating quickly enough!  I'm getting much better at getting to food once I realize I'm hungry - definitely a good rule of thumb when pregnant: Always have a snack on hand!

Gender: The hubs and I are totally thinking a girl lately!  Isn't it crazy how quickly that flips?!  Who knows... only 5 more weeks till we find out!!

Labor Signs:  Too early.

Symptoms: Growing waist line and slightly moody.  Only slightly. ;-) (I don't like staying up too late!)

Belly Button in or out?  In.

Wedding rings on or off?  On. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Hap-hap-happiness! 

Looking forward to: Next doctor's appointment on Tuesday!  It's hard in the beginning months to 'feel good' about the bebe growing and developing properly when you don't have much of a bump and can't feel any movements; doctor's appointments are a sigh of relief!  I'm very excited to start feeling the movements!
