16 Weeks!

Here we are, 16 weeks and I can't believe how fast its gone so far! My appetite is now completely back to normal, I even ate tuna salad this week! The baby still doesn't appear to be a huge fan of any type of Mexican food but I can deal with that. I'm still not having any cravings per say but I am wanting red meat a lot more than usual, probably because of the iron. Brian and I are counting down until we find out the sex, only 10 days from now!! Our glider that we ordered from Babies R Us came in and..... I hated it. The color was not the same as the swatch in the store and overall I just thought the chair looked cheap (which it was not!). We had special ordered the fabric so we weren't sure if they would let us return it but Brian called and they said as long as we had to receipt we could bring it back. Well Brian brought it back that very night and the new crew working proceeded to tell him that it was not returnable since it was custom order. Brian told them he had called earlier and after a long ordeal they did let us return it (Thankfully!!). I probably would have cried if I'd had to keep that chair but the Lord was looking after us! So now we have ordered another chair from Costco. It was one I had looked at originally but we can gone with the BRU one because we actually got to sit in a similar one at the store. With Costco they only have them available online, but luckily they allow you to return them to the store (I checked!). So hopefully next week our second glider and ottoman should arrive and I'm hoping we will love this one!

14 Week Checkup

Today was my 14 week checkup and little peanut is doing great. They checked the heartbeat and it was 152bpm, apparently right where it is suppose to be. We booked our next appointment for October 10th which is when we have our full ultrasound and find out if its a boy or girl! We can hardly wait! Here is my 14 week picture. Brian was making me laugh so it looks like I have a squinty eye, just ignore that.

Last night I had my first prenatal water aerobics class. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting to be around so many other pregnant ladies. The water in the pool was FREEZING but once we started moving around it didn't feel too bad.

Happy 3rd Anniversary!

Happy 3rd Anniversary to my sweet Brian!!

I can't believe its been 3 years since we got married and almost 6 years since we met! It was the best thing that ever happened to me and I can't wait to see what the next 3 years are gonna bring (besides lots and lots of diapers). We are really trying to do up this anniversary since its the last one that will be child free. Of course there will always be grandmas to keep the kid but we know it won't be the same. Brian was so sweet this morning to get up and make one of my favorites... pancakes, complete with whip cream! He also got me a really beautiful necklace that I had been drooling over a long time ago and then kinda forgot about. So sweet to remember!

12 Week Picture

Well, I hate this picture but since it was more than a week ago I guess its too late for a re-do. As you can probably tell I can't wear any of my regular pants or skirts anymore. Luckily some sweet friends have loaned me some maternity clothes and found some things for me at consignment sales. I'm finally feeling a little bit better and am able to eat more than rice and potatoes which have been my staple foods for the last 3 months. Last night I even cooked chicken without feeling pukey which is a HUGE accomplishment! I'm pretty sure Brian was excited to eat something for dinner that didn't come out of the microwave!

This weekend I finished reading my first baby book. In the first chapter it says that a newborn may have 5-10 poopy diapers a day! I guess we are gonna need to buy stock in pampers for the next couple of years! I've got 9 more books to read before this baby gets here so I guess I better get on it. It is however very difficult to put down a Preston and Child murder mystery to pick up a book about poop and spitting up!
