Baby Bump

Proof that there's a baby bump under the shirt! 13 weeks 5 days =) Everyday I'm checking it to see if it's getting any bigger. To people who don't know I am pregnant I probably look like I just ate a big bowl of spaghetti LOL. But to me I definitely notice it not only because it's getting bigger but it's becoming round and hard. I took out my belly ring on Week 5 when we first found out and it looks sooo weird without it! I've had it since I was 16 so 14 years of seeing it there and then poof it's gone! 

Fashion Friday

Fashion Friday!
 I've been struggling with the fact that maternity clothes are just plain boring. I have browsed online and in stores to try to find a look that fits me, thus far it's been unsuccessful! So it's now my challenge to find cute NON MATERNITY clothes that I can wear without looking frumpy, floppy or like a potato sack! 

I work in an office where I can pretty much wear whatever I want...thankfully! Because this summer I see alot of sundresses and sandals in my wardrobe.  But... for right now it's currently 1 degree outside an I have to stick to pants and boots. 

This 13 week 5 day look is just made up of simple black stretchy skinny jeans. They are a mix between cotton and jean and are very soft. A white tank, a sheer flowy striped top, and some ankle booties. To add some color I added a blue triangle necklace and gold triangle earrings (which my hair is covering).

Note: I attempted to make my bed before I took the picture but my fur babies who were sleeping under the covers were not having it! They gave me a look of  "Mom, seriously. You should know better".

13 Week Chalkboard

13 weeks! Wahoo! This is an important week for me just because if I'm lucky (which I'm normally not) this means it will get me out of the dreaded morning sickness! I would like to be able to read a restaurant menu without dry heaving! Or smell my husbands cooking without begging him to eat it quicker so I don't have to smell it. They are the size of a peach this week which seems unreal to me. I don't feel like I have two peaches in there? In this picture it looks bigger than in person only because of the angle I am standing. But to people who see me and don't know I am pregnant, they would just think I ate a big bowl of spaghetti.

Over the weekend I went "maternity" shopping just to see what they had out there. And let me say I was pretty disappointed in the selections! It's either blah and boring and just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I should have to sacrifice style or they were $25 for a plain white tshirt?! I'm a thrifter and can't imagine spending $50 for two tshirts?! So, I will just stick to my own clothes till it's time to move it on up and then I will just buy a size or so bigger.

The dresser I am standing by was "refurbed" just for the babies room. It was a dresser that I fell in love with at the flea market a few years ago and finally decided it was time to give it a face lift. At first I was against changing the color just because it's naturally pretty on it's own. But beings it was going in the nursery I wanted a softer not so dark vibe to it. I think it turned out perfect!

How far along?- 13 weeks 1 day
Total Weight Loss/Gain- I've lost 12 lbs since finding out at 5 weeks. The morning sickness is to blame!
Stretch Marks- Nope! And I hope to keep this answer the same every week! I've been lathering up morning and night!
Sleep- this is funny! I've always been a light sleeper but how light is so light that your not even really sleeping! My best minutes of sleep are between hitting the snooze button 4 times before actually getting up!
Miss Anything?- I miss not worrying all the time. I feel like my brain won't shut off and I'm constantly over thinking EVERYTHING!
Food Cravings-  None really. It's still a little touch and go on what I trust to not make me sick. I am dreaming of the day when I can eat a cheesesteak and the grease not kill me!
Anything make you queasy or sick?- Temperature changes. Going outside or coming back in. It's been freezing here and the difference in the air triggers the dry heaves? Even getting in or out of the shower will make me sick? It's strange.
Showing Yet?-  A little? I think it's what I've always had just maybe a little bit harder.
Gender Prediction- Everyone is guessing two girls, which is what I have stuck in my head now. But if I had a choice I would like one of each. Being that they are fraternal we have a greater chance of getting a boy and a girl. If they were identical it wold have to be one or the other.
Looking forward to-  We go to our regular O.B on Tuesday (which is my husbands birthday!) and I am not above begging for an ultrasound! And then on Thursday we see the high risk doctor. It's just protocol at this point.
Best Moment of the week?- Finally feeling well enough to drive myself shopping. Even though the whole time I was wishing I was snuggling on the couch with the doggies!

12 Week Chalkboard

I haven't updated anything lately only because I've been feeling like poo, very tired poo =/ But after a month of this chalkboard sitting in the living room I decided we better get a picture up before September!
Usually I get home from work before my husband and am already in pajamas and relaxing on the couch when he gets home. So everyday I would say okay tomorrow I'm going to take this picture...well tomorrow lasted a month! I plan (hope) to keep up with it weekly now to show the progress and growth of  our once marshmallows turned into gummy bears turned into limes...that's what size they are this week =)
We are at week 12 and I'm hoping this "morning sickness" is ready to pack it's suitcase and hit the road cause it will be getting it's eviction notice VERY soon! Oh yeah, why do they call it morning sickness? That was a well played joke on whomever came up with it cause the joke is on us cause it LASTS ALL DAY!
I don't think anyone can notice but at the bottom right of the picture you can see a little black thing... well that's my Olive trying to photobomb the picture hah. I had to crop her out but here's the original...

Oh yeah by the way... were a family of mismatched socks, don't judge! =) But that Olive girl has to be a little ham and be in the picture any way she can! Gotta love her <3
