15 Weeks

How far along? 15 Weeks

Baby is the size of a Navel Orange

Total weight gain: None yet, but I know it's coming soon...
Started to show yet?  Yes! Especially in maternity clothes that my friends are letting me borrow :) 
Belly button in or out? In

Maternity clothes? I have the best friends who let me borrow their clothes :) Maternity is Expensive!

Stretch marks? My friend Courtney told me their hereditary and my mom has a lot, so the answer is a sad yes. 

Sleep: Has gotten better this week! I think I'm started to find my groove and when not to push it anymore. 

Best moment this week: Feeling good in a workout outfit I've had for a long time. I'm definitely showing but my legs and arms are smaller :) 

Miss Anything: Right now, alcohol-just something bubbly and super sweet; still missing meat, but not ready to see if I can handle it yet.

Food cravings: With fall being here, I want anything pumpkin but don't really like the taste! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Really strong smelling foods with garlic, anything greasy, or meat.
Movement? I doubt it...but maybe :) 
Gender: I'm still thinking girl, and Michael still thinks boy. We'll find out soon though!

Labor Signs: None

Symptoms: None

Wedding rings on or off? On 

Happy or Moody most of the time: I feel a little more balance in my life, but still moody unfortunately. 

Looking forward to: almost being half way there! Only a few more weeks!

14 Weeks

How far along? 14 Weeks

Baby is the size of a: Lemon

Total weight gain: None yet, but not surprising since I can't keep my food down. 
Started to show yet? Yes, there's definitely a baby bump :) 
Belly button in or out? In. I hope it stays that way...I've never had an outtie 

Maternity clothes? Just bought some yesterday for the first time at Target with my friend Karla! I found 2 maternity dresses on clearance and couldn't pass them up! 

Stretch marks? I'm using baby belly butter right now to prevent them

Sleep: Wish I could get more of this even though I feel like I'm pretty much doing it all the time!

Best moment this week: Getting dressed up and going out with Michael's company in a Limo to meet a client in Georgia for dinner. I finally ate a steak:)

Miss Anything: Eating meat and being able to cook whatever I want to eat. 

Food cravings: Anything really cold, ice chips, lemonade, pickles, and frozen grapes. CRAB LEGS!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Mostly meat or anything that has a strong garlic smell to it. Chinese is a no-no right now. 
Movement? Possibly....I thought maybe I did a few times, but still think that maybe that's too early. 
Gender: I'm still thinking girl, but Michael wants this baby to be a boy

Labor Signs: I better not have any of these for a LONG time

Symptoms: None

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm a little ashamed to say that I've been moody....just ask the guy who keeps parking in front of my house and then actually parked in my grass! 

Looking forward to: Not feeling nauseous and throwing up every day. I'm totally ready for that to be over with!

Throw Back Thursday

This throw back Thursday is in honor our recent beach trip. This picture is actually from our Honeymoon in Jamaica! We had a great time at the RIU resort in Montego Bay. Great food, great weather, and best of all-Great company! I would LOVE to go back someday...(hint hint)

Marriage Monday: Comparison

Have you ever played the comparison game with your spouse? If not, it goes a little like this.

       I wish my wife were more like Jessica. She cooks delicious meals every night and her house is spotless all the time! OR I wish my husband were more like Jason. He's always buying his wife sweet gifts and loves taking care of the kids. 

This kind of thinking is detrimental to our marriages. It's not fair to you or your spouse. You are comparing the public view of someone you don't know intimately to the one that ONLY you know intimately. The other person will always win out and this will only breed discontent in our lives.

On this Marriage Monday, be intentional and stop comparing your spouse to someone else, and thank God for the gift He has given you! Our marriages are precious and we must protect this gift!
