16 weeks

16 weeks baked. Although I'm fairly certain that baby M is measuring about a week behind...that's okay tho. Baby is finally making it's debut, feel super prego at night and normal in the mornings. Headed to try a fun Pilates class at Club Pilates this weekend!! Hoping it does this body good ;) 

Here's the latest "belly" pic

Weight Gain: 4-5 lbs. started at 127-130 and I'm between 130-135 right now.

Sleep: Sleeping great, still get up to pee every night. 

Best moment this week: Hearing baby's heart beat at the doc and buying out very first baby outfit.

Weekend at Bernie's on TV?! Sshhhyyyyeeeeaaassaaaa. Guess I won't be working out for at least another hour. 

House wife prep

NOT. lol I'm nothing near a house wife, Jeff usually does all the cooking. HOWEVER, I got up ass early this morning to make a pot roast. That's right, I seasoned the rump and browned it on all four sides and cut up some delicious carrots, celery, mushrooms and onions and threw it all in the crock pot. I'm jealous of the dogs who get to sit at home lounging on the couch basking in it's glorious smell filling the house. Hopefully it's nommers. 

Another wonderful thing happened this morning as well, had another doc appt. Jeffrey and I got to hear the baby's little heart beat again, 155 bpm. It took the doc a little bit of time to find the heartbeat which freaked me out! But, it's there, phew! I'm too neurotic for pregnancy. 

8 weeks Vs.14 weeks

Today we had our 4D ultrasound. It was the first time we have been able to see the baby since 8 weeks along.

It was so amazing to see that the baby has grow from a blob of cells to a human in such a short amount of time. It was also so relieving to just see the baby in general; to know it's growing and moving and healthy. 

Not going to lie, I seriously started to cry right when we saw the baby, just knowing that it's growing. We are growing a human it's buzzare. 

Here's a pic to show how much growth has happened. The top is 8 weeks and the bottom is 14 weeks: 

Here is one where the baby is looking directly at us. So creepy lol looks like an alien:

Oh, we also found out the sex!!! Can't share with anyone just yet though. We are having a gender reveal BBQ when Jeff's dad is in town next month. But in the mean time, enjoy looking at baby Martin grow!!! 

14 Weeks

Woke up this morning and noticed a little tiny bump....I think....so decided to do our 14 weeks update (sorry for my I-just-woke-up-sleepy-don't-want-to-go-to-work look). Still have to get a chalk board to start our chalk board tracker haha. Oh laziness, how you get the best of me. 

  

Gender: Find out tomorrow!!

Weight Gain: 5 pounds so far 

Maternity Clothes: Not yet, using the hair tie trick 

Stretch Marks: None 

Belly Button In or Out: In 

Sleep: Great, other than waking up two or three times to pee. 

Best Moment This Week: Not enduring as much heartburn/indigestion

Miss Anything? Coffee and Strawberritas 

Movement: Nothing I can feel yet 

Cravings: No cravings really, maybe fruit and ice cream

Look Forward to: Finding out the gender tomorrow!!

Throw Back

Mama and papa to be for this happy family 

Annnnnnd this is my life now

Even though I'm not "showing" my pants sure aren't firing any longer......this is my life now at 14 weeks pregnant. Not showing. Pants don't fit. FML. 

Caffeine Free.....for now

I recently decided to completly stop drinking coffee. I say completly lightly cause I did just have a tall decaf Starbucks yesterday afternoon lol. I digress....it's extremely hard to wake up in the morning and grab a cup of water and not a cup of delicious hot coffee. I love my routine and my routine definitely involved coffee. Everyday. Not necessarily to wake me up, I just simply LOVE coffee. However, I do have to say the majority of days I don't drink it I feel more awake, more alert, less indigestin and heartburn and just all around feel better. My body is telling me that my life is better off and healthier without the coffee. It's a self realization I didn't want to come to this morning :( 

Goodbye my favorite vice. Maybe we will meet again sometime in the future. 

Toilet Paper Nazi

I am genuinely concerned about the amount of toilet paper I use, it's seriously going to give us financial problems. Lol. 

1 or 2 squares? What is that? Who measures the amount of toilet paper they use by squares? Imbeciles. I count "1,2,3" seconds as I pull down as much paper as possible.....everytime. Although, come to think of it, no I'm slightly concerned about OCD cause I truly count "1,2,3" seconds everytime....FML. 

This post has absolutely no relevance to anything, nor is it conducive to getting any work done.....

Peace out. 

It's only Monday.....

Ugh it's only Monday? Really? Why can't it be Friday?

This week is going to go by so slow for me. Saturday is our appointment with the 4D ultrasound place to hopefully find out the gender. Although, with the way this baby is basically growing into my spine and no where to be seen, I have a feeling we won't be able to see any privates! Nonetheless, it will be amazing to see how much the blob has grown since we last saw it at 8 weeks. 

Eeeeekkkkk, c'mon Saturday! 

Happy Mother's Day

Happy mothers day to all the moms out there. A special shout out to my mom, love you with all my heart, can't wait for your grand baby to know all the love you have to give. 

Hope everyone has a splended Sunday, it's beautiful here in San Diego. As always. ;) 

13 weeks

13 weeks today.....

For real though....if the baby is the size of a lemon/peach and my uterus is now the size of a melon....where the heck is everything??!!

Eating for "two"

Technically you only need around 300 extra calories a day to sustain your healthiness throughout pregnancy. I don't really count calories but I'm pretty aware of what I put into my body. 

Can I just tell you how hungry I get? I mean, let me just walk you through my day thus far today.....

- wake up at 6:15am

- make a cup of decaf (I only drink about half so just calm down) 

- make two slices of raisin cinnamon bread (I usually have a smart one breakfast sandwich but I'm gettin sick of those) 

- get ready for the day, leave and get to work at 8am

- 8:30am starving again.....eat a snack. Today I had a fruit roll up, a banana and pita chips. Oh and I indulged in some delicious dark chocolate covered acai berries (u can get them at Costco they are to die for) 

- 10am starving again....eat another snack. Had some pork jerky. 

- 12pm starving again. Co-worker went to Taco Bell I had a double decker. 

- 1pm go to lunch....finish off my pita chips. 

It's now 1:14pm and I'm starving again. Keep in mind I don't say "starving" lightly, when I say "starving" I mean it in the literal sense of the word. 

I've got some trail mix and a fiber one bar to get me through the rest of my work day. After wich I will go home and make a delicious salad for me and the hubs just in time for me to hit the sack around 9pm and be STARVING.

No joke, I have literally woken up on more than one occasion at 2am STARVING and had to get out of bed to eat. LOL wth is this?! 

I'm really going to need to prepare better for the day, need to think up some healthy snack/lunch ideas that are substantial enough to fill me up and keep me going throughout the day without over eating junk! 

Ugh, I'll let you know what I can muster. 

EATING RIGHT, STAYING HEALTHY AND MAINTAINING MY EXERCISE IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME THEOUGHOUT PREGNANCY. So far, I've done a horrible job. Let's see how I can flip this around! 

Sleeeeeeeeeeepppp

I seriously can't get enough sleep. I could have literally fell asleep at the wheel today on my way home from work. 

Dinner done. Mad Men watched (poor Don). Dogs fed. Time for a walk then this little mama is off to bed with her sexy husband. 

MUAH. Loves. 

And the beat rolls on....

We had our 12 week check up this morning and got to hear the baby's little heart beating away at 162 beats per minute. Pretty cool. Also, scheduled our 4D for 5/17 to find out the gender....so exciting.

Now where the hell is the baby?? I swear it's in my stomach someplace, although I can't tell where. Some days I look like I'm pregnant and others my tummy is flat as can be. Oh well though, I'm not complaining, I'll stay small as long as possible. 

Happy Friday monkeys. 

I Pooped Today!!!!

Haha saw this on good 'ol Pinterest....found it hilarious because being pregnant seriously messes with your digestive system. 

This is real life: Yesterday from the bathroom I screamed to my husband with sheer joy, "IM POOPING"
