16 Weeks

How far along? 16 Weeks

Size of the Bambino? The size of an Avocado
Maternity Clothes? Yes.
Weight Gain? I’m not sure. If I had to guess I would say about 5 pounds.
Stretch Marks? Not yet
Gender? We are still pretty set on boy. There are only a few people that think this might be a little girl.
Name? We have a girls name picked out, and I threw a boy name out there this week that Tim actually likes, so we might be sticking with that one.
Sleep? I fall asleep wonderfully. Then at about 5 AM, I’m wide awake. It has gotten worse this week. It’s a good thing makeup covers the bags under my eyes!
Cravings? Fruit. Tim went to the store yesterday and brought home a pineapple, apples, oranges, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and a cantaloupe! I can’t seem to get enough fruit. But, on the other hand I still want French fries.
What I Miss? Nothing really
Symptoms? I’m feeling great for the most part. I love the 2nd trimester!
Belly Button? Still in, thank goodness.
Best Moment? This week I had a great moment. Yesterday, as I was sitting in church praying over this baby and our family and asking God to protect us through all that we have going on, I felt a small little thud thud. The best feeling in the world. I had forgotten how great it was to feel your baby kick for the first time. Now, all I want to do is sit still and feel for it. God works in such great ways.

15 Weeks

How far along? 15 Weeks

Size of the Bambino? The size of an Apple
Maternity Clothes? Yep. I’m pretty much living in leggings right now. Some of my non maternity tops still fit, but I’ve pretty much transitioned into maternity.
Weight Gain? I have not been to the doctor in two weeks, so let’s just go with 3 pounds still :).
Stretch Marks? Not yet
Gender? We are still pretty set on boy. There are only a few people that think this might be a little girl.
Name? We have a girls name picked out, and are starting to talk about the boy names we like. Every one I throw out there, Tim vetoes.
Sleep? I fall asleep wonderfully. Then at about 5 AM, I’m wide awake. During the week, this is fine, but I want to sleep in on the weekends.
Cravings? Still French fries. I don’t really have any aversions except chicken, not crazy about it right now.
What I Miss? Nothing really
Symptoms? I can really tell that my body is starting the stretch a little bit. Every morning when I get up, I’m a little sore in the tummy area.
Belly Button? Still in, thank goodness.
Best Moment? More like the funniest moment this week. We talk to Landry all the time about the baby. I want her to be as involved as she wants to be and she loves talking about it. Up until this week, she has always called it her little sister. She really wanted a girl. Then on Thursday night, we were sitting in my bed talking and she looked at me and said “Oh mommy, I forgot to tell you, I think my little sister is a boy”! I said “huh”? And she said,” I think she is a boy now”. So cute! I love her little innocence right now. It’s adorable, and she says the funniest things.

14 Weeks

How far along? 14 weeks, 1 Day

Size of the Bambino? The size of a Nectarine.
Maternity Clothes? For the most part, yes. I seemed to of “popped” earlier this time, so I’ve pretty much transitioned into them full time.
Weight Gain? I gained 3 pounds as of my last appointment.
Stretch Marks? Heavens no, and I pray I won’t get them. I never did with Landry, so hopefully I won’t this time either.
Gender? Tim and I both think Boy.
Name? We have a girls name picked out, and have narrowed down the boys name to a couple we like.
Sleep? I’m starting to get up about once a night to pee, but other than that, still sleeping soundly.
Cravings? This go around I have been craving salty. I’ll pass on cake, but give me french fries, and I’m good to go!
What I Miss? Nothing really
Symptoms? Other than the slight headache every now and then, I’m feeling great!
Belly Button? Still in, thank goodness.
Best Moment? Telling Landry and seeing the baby on the sonogram again. Landry had her suspensions that something was up, but I didn’t want to say anything until we knew all was good. She’s been so sweet to me about it. Always rubbing my back and my belly. I know she is going to be the best big sister. Also last week, we had my 12 week appointment and got to see the baby again. I love seeing him/her wriggling around in my belly. Such a sweet sight.

Baby #2

Surprise!

This little baby up there is the main reason I have not

 posted in 2 months or so! 

We are overjoyed and ecstatic about the new addition

to our family. 

I'm a little over 13 weeks and I do plan on

doing weekly posts. 

I'm having Landry participate this time though! 

I'll be back soon with the whole story and hopefully a new look to this blog!
