18 weeks!


How far along? 18 weeks , 7 days
Baby is the size of a: Sweet Potato
Maternity Clothes? Oh how I love shopping in America! I was back from Sept 12-25th and got some serious maternity shopping done! I went with my sister Suzee (the fashionista of the family) first and got some adorbale/most comfortable shorts for while I was in Disneyland and it was 108 degrees (holy hot!!!) and some tops and a maxi dress. Then my Mommy took me out and I got a ton of new pants and tops. One thing about maternity clothes are that most of them are gross and ugly. Honestly, the only cute stuff I found were by Heidi Klum and Jessica Simpson. I have decided I wont buy many shirts and just stick to normal stretchy cute tops that dont make me feel like a whale ;)
Wedding Rings: On! They were a bit tight while I was in Disneyland but I think that was due to the heat and just getting off of the plane. I also had some pretty good looking cankels when I landed. 
Best moment of the week: The baby has been moving like crazy!!!! I can feel kicks and it bouncing around, it is nice to be reassured there is something in there. Loving it.
Sleep: EH. Jet leg + pregnancy= a horrible combination. I just have a really hard time getting my sleep schedule back to normal. 
Movement? Lots of it!!! Cant wait until its enough so the hubby can feel too. I thought it would be weird and I wouldnt like it but for now I am really enjoying it! The little one especially kicks when I eat chocolate or spicy food :)
Food Cravings: Pancakes still.....I dont understand but I seriously just love pancakes right now!
Stretch Marks: Still none on the belly :) I got this kit called Basq in America which has a sugar scrub, followed by oil, then body butter. I use it religiously so I am hoping it is working :)
Gender: We find out in a week and a half and the suspense is KILLING ME!!! I am still convinced it's a girl. I ended up buying the most amazing Cinderella canvas painting while I was in Disneyland so if it ends up being a boy I suppose Tex will have to live with it in our room haha
Happy or Moody most of the time? I think my hormones are starting to really get nutso becuase I get irritated super fast and am annoyed most of the time haha. I am just feeling super moody, still happy a lot, but my mood changes very fast! I'm a bit over it I just want to go back to feeling happy all the time! I am also on the verge of tears all day every day. I woke up this morning and started crying and could not figure out why! Oh the hormones.....
Looking forward to: Planning my gender reveal party this week :) We find out next week and we are planning on doing the party for the family. We will get the gender written on a piece of paper and then have a cake made with either pink or blue inside. Tex and I wont find out either so it will be a big surprise for everyone (especially my father in-law when it ends up being a girl ;) ) when we cut the cake.....seriously counting down the minutes I am so excited!!!

15 weeks :)


How far along? 15 weeks , 7 days
Baby is the size of a: Avocado
Maternity Clothes? I invested in the ugliest bra I have ever owned this week. My chest is twice the size it was before I got pregnant so literally nothing fits me. It's a maternity bra so it is comfy and does the trick until I can get to Victorias Secret in the next 2 weeks! And I am on the hunt for a pair of shorts that will fit me for my Disneyland trip...no luck so far but I am hoping to find something before I go!
Best moment of the week: Getting to hear the heart beat at the doctor! Every little thing makes it more and more real I think. At this point I don't feel pregnant at all! No sickness, just feeling fat, and tired, so it is nice to have a little moment where it is more obvious that I actually AM PREGNANT haha
Sleep: Oh sleep...I am assuming it will never go back to normal. First of all I have the craziest most lucid dreams ever! I find myself waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep for a few hours, I am nauseous and cant get comfortable. I swear I am asleep by 8:30pm every night. What is going on!!!
Movement? So I dont want to say I for sure felt it move but I am about 95% sure I did. I woke up and had this really odd almost fluttering feeling yesterday. It was a weirdest sensation, but from what I heard I am pretty sure thats the baby! Hopefully it will become more frequent and I can really be for sure :)
Food Cravings: Carrots.....oh the amount of carrots, and cucumber I have eaten this week is ridiculous!
Gender: Tex says boy I say girl, only time will tell. I am not saying it's a girl because thats what I want, I just honestly feel like its a girl. I am DYING to know though!!! Ah the suspense is killing me. Either way I will be more than happy, I just want to start shopping!
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy! I haven't had too many crazy emotional moments. Very irritable at times though, I occasionally get frustrated at my husband......haha
Looking forward to: Going away to America next week! YAY! I am going with my family to Disneyland and then I am photographing a wedding in San Francisco. I cannot wait to spend some quality time with my family and take the baby on it's first of many Disneyland trips hehe
