17 Weeks

How far along? 17 Weeks
Total weight gain: 10-ish lbs....whaaaaaaat! I swear the scale goes up every single day. It's so weird!
Best moment of the week: Finding out we are having a little baby GIRL! Doing a gender reveal with our friends and family was so sweet and I loved finding out along with everyone else. This weekend, I also go to be with my wonderful extended family at the lake, gabbing and sharing baby stories. It's going to be so much fun to have a baby in the family again!
Maternity clothes? Not maternity clothes...but hubby went with me to get a LOT of long tops for the fall season. Trying to buy as little maternity as possible and stick to long, form-fitting things that I could wear after pregnancy. Fall/Winter is the easiest time to be preggo - leggings and long sweaters/tunics all day long! :)
Sleep: Great! I do wake up at about 3am every morning though feeling like if I don't get up to use the restroom, I just might explode.
Miss anything? Deli meat, deli meat, deli meat! Last week for one of my rare turkey sandwiches I went to Subway and got something from my childhood: turkey and provolone cheese ONLY on wheat bread. And I got a foot long. And I ate the whole thing. BOOM!
Food cravings: Lenny's! And Mexican food...but I guess I really should say I just give IN to it more than I did before being preggo. Oh - and sour gummy candy. My sweet co-worker brought me a ton of Sour Patch kids after hearing this and I am a happy camper!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Every once in awhile I'll get a whiff of something and just will NOT be able to handle it. The other night at dinner they brought me my salmon on an ACTUAL cedar plank - which had quite the smell to it - and I had to scrape off my salmon and switch out the plates!
Symptoms: Breaking out...peeing all the time...very lightheaded at times...
Belly button in or out? In!
Movement: No. Hopefully very very soon!
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy!
Looking forward to: Decorating BABY GIRL'S room!! I am beginning to feel a little anxious that I haven't done too much as of yet...in regards to ANYTHING for baby...so I will be registering this weekend and sitting down to make a game plan. :)

It's a...!

16 Weeks

How far along? 16 Weeks
Total weight gain: 7 lbs.

Best moment of the week: Getting baby Garrahan's room painted! (Along with the rest of the house) Now once we find out the gender we can really start planning the room out.
Maternity clothes? No but the maxi dresses and blousy tops from my closet are really getting put to good use! I still will wear a few pair of my pants that zip on the side...and I will unzip them about 2 inches down...haha! It's hard to not just feel fat at this stage! :)
Sleep:  Pretty good - except I believe Vegas is JUST now catching up to me?! I think it took a few days for my body to hit recovery mode...I have been falling asleep at my desk lately this week.
Miss anything? Deli meat, deli meat, deli meat! Oh, and wishing I could have a fall beer simply for the taste of fall in my mouth :)
Food cravings: Lenny's! I probably go there 2-3 times a week (as I pack my purse to head over there for lunch today...guilty!) and I finally straight up told them yesterday to please not judge me - I'm preggo.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Grilled chicken! It's the strangest thing. Sometimes it's okay...sometimes it is NOT.

Symptoms: Nothing new... 
Belly button in or out? In!
Movement: No. Hopefully soon!
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy!
Looking forward to: ONE. MORE. DAY...until we know if it's a he or she!!!!!!!!!! I can hardly contain myself!

15 Weeks

How far along? 15 Weeks
Total weight gain: 6 lbs.

Best moment of the week: Being in Las Vegas for work with my awesome team! I love that I thoroughly enjoy my colleagues and we had an absolute blast and worked our booties off!
Maternity clothes? No but let me tell you...I am about to pop over to Amazon.com to buy one or two Bella bands. All week I have officially had to unzip or unbutton pants and it's getting to feel real weird! Might need to start looking around for different pants...
Sleep: Pretty good. Minus the lack of it for being in Las Vegas. But that's the price you pay for Sin City. Let's just say Baby Garrahan was NOT happy that I stayed up until 3am body time one night...I was paying for it the next day! Who knew you could have a hangover even if you didn't have any cocktails?!
Miss anything? Still just the convenience of grabbing a turkey sandwich. Oh, and definitely starting just a little bit to miss my old body. Just takes a bit of adjusting to!
Food cravings: Refried Beans and flour tortillas seems to be a staple for me just about every few days!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Grilled chicken still. And on my "hangover" day in Vegas, just about everything was making me nauseous. So the solution was to head to the Sugar Factory and stock up on sour gummy candy. YUM!

Symptoms: Nothing new...except this week I definitely started to SHOW! Before this week, just towards the end of the day my tummy would be bigger. Now, I wake up with a belly and it still gets bigger towards the end of the day. It's amazing!
Belly button in or out? In!
Movement: No. Hopefully soon!
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy!
Looking forward to: One more week until we know if it's a he or she!!!!!!!!!!

14 Weeks

How far along? 14 Weeks
Total weight gain: 4-5 lbs. (Sheesh! Aren't you only supposed to gain a pound a week towards the end?!)
Best moment of the week: It will probably be later today - I have my monthly OB appointment and we will get to hear Baby Garrahan's heart beat :)
Maternity clothes? No. Although someone TOTALLY called the maxi dress I am wearing today a "maternity dress". Thanks, pal! ;)
Sleep: Good! I have realized it's probably time to buy one of those body pillows everyone talks about. I have woken up a little uncomfortable each night and I will put a pillow between my legs and lay on my side...makes all the difference! I'm NOT a "side-sleeper" so it will take some getting used to.
Miss anything? Deli meat! Not alcohol...which I still find fantastic!
Food cravings: Baked. Doritos. I believe I eat these....mmm yep, every meal. But of course, my body/baby is wanting ANYTHING unhealthy. If it's fried, found at a Mexican food restaurant or pizza place - sign me up!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Grilled chicken at time. Or healthy food in general. Noooo thank you!
Symptoms: Sooooome people might say that my pregnancy brain has begun. ;)  Other than that, I'm still not feeling 100% but I'm feeling so much better than before. I can't complain!
Belly button in or out? In. Where it's STAYING.
Movement: No. Hopefully in just a few weeks!
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy! 
Looking forward to: Getting to find out the gender of Baby Garrahan! I take a blood test today and will get the results back in about two weeks! I. CAN'T. WAIT!!

13 Weeks

How far along? 13Weeks
Total weight gain: 3-4 lbs.
Best moment of the week: College Football made its 2013 debut and I started decorating for fall! WONDERFUL long weekend with hubby...topped off with a fantastic Oak Haven massage thanks t0 my sweet mama. :)
Maternity clothes? Nope.
Sleep: Pretty good...waking up more than I thought I would to go to the bathroom!  
Miss anything? Cold turkey sandwiches and deli meat in general. I miss just snacking on it all the time! Now I have to actually MAKE food?! ;) I'm still not missing alcohol in the slightest. Isn't that funny?! 
Food cravings: Still anything unhealthy. We've been eating a LOT of Mexican food (flour tortillas cure any upset stomach with me), partially because Hubby keeps exclaiming, "..it's OKAY because we're PREGNANT!" :) Oh - and chewy/fruity candy. Something I would neverrrrrrr eat beforehand I can't get enough of! 
Anything making you queasy or sick? Sometimes still chicken breast...steamed veggies...my body is rejecting healthy food!
Symptoms: Can't make a decision to save my life...is that a symptom of pregnancy?! Sort of like pregnancy brain I assume. Someone asking what I want to eat for lunch or dinner is pretty much the worst idea for anyone who actually wants to eat within the next two hours!
Belly button in or out? In
Movement: Don't think so...I felt a twitch but it might be a little early...
Happy or Moody most of the time? Happy! Very very happy. :)
Looking forward to: Getting our house painted and completely ready for football parties and the holidays! :)
