So, now that i have caught up on the past 6 weeks of events today will start my first weekly post (hopefully).. This week has been great, i'm working night shift for a month so i am completely worthless in my off time just since i am tired but other than that i feel great! So far this pregnancy has been a wonderful experience and i consider myself blessed to feel so great! So, ill just give some basic highlights each week.
I also decided today that im going to buy a pregnancy journal so our baby can read it someday. I love memories, i photograph EVERYTHING! and i know that i will regret it if i don't do something. Tomorrow, i will battle the hundreds of choices at barnes and noble and hopefully choose something wonderful.
So here goes week by week update numero uno!
P.S. I copied this format from a friends pregnancy blog, i think its a wonderful idea and i hope to add more topics as i think of things. So, please let me know what you want to know.
How many weeks: 12
This week our baby is the size of a.... Apricot!! 2.5 inches long.
This week our baby weighs..... about 1 ounce
This week our baby can... frown, open and close its mouth, respond to outside stimuli. He/She has sex organs, fingernails, and vocal cords! Boy or girl? We wont be able to see until about 20 weeks but its already growing the necessary parts!
Total weight gain/ loss: +2
Showing: Nope, not yet. (i don't know if i want to be happy or sad about this)
Maternity Clothes: Nope, not yet. Although some of my jeans feel a little tight but i think i can wear them for a little bit.
Best moment this week: when i received a text message from a random friend saying congratulations, i had no idea this person knew and it was the moment i realized that my mother has been telling everyone she knows. Excited grandma!
Have you told family/ friends: not everyone. We actually plan to tell my best girlfriends this week when we visit Las Vegas!
Food cravings: pasta, strawberries
Miss anything?: wine/ beer, cold lunchmeat, soft cheeses.
Anything making you sick: Steamed broccoli! the smell makes me want to vomit.
Pregnancy symptoms: Tired, emotional, wake up frequently while sleeping.
Movement: Although i know baby is moving i cant feel anything yet.
Gender prediction: We both really just want a healthy baby but if i had to predict i would say Boy!!! Brad thinks girl, just because that is what his whole family is rooting for and he really secretly wants a boy so he thinks it will be a girl since he wants a boy :-)
We call our baby: little monster, baby, we haven't really chosen an endearing term yet...
Looking forward to: Las Vegas with the college friends this weekend, hopefully they don't exhaust me with late nights!
Soon to be daddy is.... getting really excited about being a daddy!
This week i realized that our dog Kaya must have doggy intuition that something is growing inside her momma! She is relentless in wanting to sleep with me, sit on the couch with me, cuddle me in any way possible, or sit on my leg if thats the closest i will let her get. I think its her way of milking all the attention she can get out of us for as long as she can. I think we will have to take her to training in the next few months so that we can fine tune her obedience skills and listening capabilities, baby will be a big adjustment for our spoiled doggy child!
Until Next Week,
Shyla
