Merry Christmas & 22 Weeks!

21 Weeks!

21 Weeks! More than half way! Baby is 10.5 inches long.

So I decided that we should go over some pregnancy symptoms and what I've got/gotten and what I haven't.

First and foremost. Morning Sickness. Morning sickness for most women usually only lasts the first trimester (first 12 weeks). During the first 12 weeks I did feel like I was going to puke a lot, but I only puked once! Since around 12 weeks I haven't felt like I was going to puke at all.

Breast Soreness. Definitely had that in the beginning. Probably 6 weeks-12 weeks. Luckily it's all gone now!

Gums bleeding and other tooth issues. Nope didn't get any of those! Some women end up getting pregnancy gingivitis. Not me!

Headaches/migraines. Definitely got those for about 3 weeks straight. Around 13 weeks-16 weeks. Horrible horrible headaches that wouldn't go away with tylenol. I'd go to sleep with a headache and woke up with one!

Spotting and Cramping. After my visit to the ER at 6 weeks with horrible cramping that was related to me having a blot clot inside of myself I haven't felt any since! The only spotting happened when I was at the ER and they were doing tests.

Fatigue. This one I feel like is never going to go away! I'm so tired all the time!!!! Baby and I like to get about 9 hours of sleep every night and then during the day I usually have to take another nap!

Mood swings. Got those somewhat. Only flipped out on my husband once though. Definitely had some times where I would cry about really stupid things and would have to go to the bathroom at work and hide until I could stop crying. Most of these things were during 14 weeks-16 weeks.

Constipation. Nope! Yay!

Frequent urination. Uhh yes. I don't think anyone can say no to this one while pregnant. It's getting worse now that baby is getting bigger and pressing down on my bladder more. I feel like I stand up and have to pee!

Increased discharge. Let's just say yes and move on.

Greasy Face, increased Acne, greasy hair. Somewhat? I definitely get more zits now than I did when I wasn't pregnant, but it isn't too bad. Luckily my hair isn't super greasy or anything though.

Food Stuff. Definitely been craving some things, but luckily nothing weird like chalk. Also I used to be able to eat tacos everyday. BRING ME THE MEXICAN FOOD! Now though I hate it.... Which sucks because my husband still loves it. O also another word of advice. Do not stock up on foods you are craving. Because in a couple weeks you won't crave it anymore. I have tons of uncrustables (mini PB&Js), white cheddar cheese itz, and Cheerios.

Okay that's all the symptoms I can think of for now...

Here's my 21 weeks pic!

Here's some pics from the babies room!
We finished painting, redid the closet rails, added new closet doors, and put together all the ikea furniture!
The green chair will be replaced with my awesome gray chevron chair I bought last post.
Then all we need is the changing table tray and all of our lovely family and friends to help us out with decor! Curtains, rug, mattress, sheets, etc!

I'm a sucker for a sale.....

Just bought this awesome chair from www.zulily.com. It's a glider and a recliner! Definitely completes my major furniture expenditures.
Crib-Done, Dresser-Done, Bookcase-Done, Chair-Done!
Now for furniture all we have to get is a nightstand to put beside the chair and the changing table tray to add to the dresser.

We also painted the baby's room this weekend! We went with a medium gray. And we redid the closet and added new closet doors! Things are really coming together!

Now hopefully all my lovely friends and family will get us stuff to decorate and furnish the rest of the room! Yay so exciting!!!!

20 Weeks!!! Half Way!!! and Work Holiday Party

So in light of our recent finding out that it's a boy I decided to change up the decor a little bit.

Gray walls, navy blue chevrons, and some elephants thrown in!

Also here's some of the sonogram photos from Friday!

19 Week Photo!

Sorry for the fuzziness.... Taking photos at night is hard.

Traveling While Pregnant

So for Thanksgiving we went to England. My mom said it was my last trip kid-less. We had a good time. Saw lots of stuff we haven't seen before. Spent most of the time with my Au Pair's parents and got to see my Au Pair and meet her kids too. She was my Au Pair when I was like 7 years old so obviously a long time ago, but we have still kept in touch. It was definitely COLD there! So I spent my 18 weeks pregnant in England so that's why I didn't post a chalkboard pic.

Number one thing that sucks about traveling while pregnant....
Not being able to drink... SUCKS!!! Everyone is relaxing and drinking and trying foreign drinks and having fun. I on the other hand was completely sober watching everyone having fun and drinking...

Here's a few pics from England!

In other news... Today is 19 weeks! I will post a pic later! I think I even felt baby moving last night! We were sitting on the couch and I kept feeling random thumps. I was like for sure my gas cannot be this bad. My husband even put his hand on my stomach and felt one of the movements. So that was pretty awesome.

Tomorrow we go for our 19 week ultrasound. The one that takes about 45 minutes where they make sure nothing is wrong with development. Also this is the one where we figure out the gender!!! FINALLY!!! The only thing that stinks is we are going to have her put a piece of paper in an envelope that says what the gender is so we can instead find out the gender at our gender reveal photos! Which are going to be on Saturday. How will I ever wait???!!!! I'm so excited to finally learn the gender. Then we can actually start decorating and I can put all the wonderful gender specific stuff on my registry!!!!

I'll be sure to post our gender reveal photos as soon as I get them!!!
