18 weeks

how far along: 18 weeks

weight gain & stretch marks?: i'm going to take a leap and say i gained another pound. so that's +2 of my -5. still no stretch marks.

best moment this week: ordering the crib and making that chalkboard. i have been waiting and waiting for this week to roll around because you know i love me some ben & jerry's. 

worst moment this week: feeling nauseous a few times. thought we were past that!

miss anything?: sushi & cocktails. i have been playing bartender for kameron & i'm getting jealous. this is also prime brewery weather so...bummer. next year :)

symptoms & movement: a little nauseous this week. feeling a little bit of movement every day!

cravings & aversions: craving fruity things and pasta salad. aversions are "heavy" foods...not really sure how to explain that. and kameron also brought up meatloaf yesterday which made me want to vomit (although that is not entirely pregnancy related...meat doesn't belong in a loaf.) AND i'm not sure if this counts as an aversion but the taste in my mouth after i brush my teeth is sooo bad. i am all for clean teeth & fresh breath but that leftover toothpastey taste has got to go.

mood: happy! :)

looking forward to: the month of june

things to add: i keep forgetting to add this line. i don't have anything to add this week except this line...but at least i won't forget again.

i finally dug out my real camera & charged it up...cannot believe how awful my iphone pics are comparitively. woof.

how far along: 17 weeks

weight gain & stretch marks?: i gained a whole pound. i'm pretty proud of it. no stretch marks!

best moment this week: visiting some of my family & seeing my little sister graduate. it was fun to catch up! and on the way home today there was some definite thumping/rolling around in there, YAY! i have been patiently waiting for that.

worst moment this week: two 8 hour car rides. something about a seatbelt against your pregnant belly is just soo irritating. 

miss anything?: nope!

symptoms & movement: congestion? my dr said it's common in pregnancy. and YES to movement! 

cravings & aversions: juice, slushies, and seafood. good thing my dad packed me up & sent me home with my weight in crab legs. 

mood: happy! :)

looking forward to: the weekend...is it too soon to say that? 

please pardon my picture this week. that's what an 8 hour roadtrip looks like, folks.

weight gain & stretch marks?: i have given up weighing myself until my next appt. no stretch marks.

best moment this week: kameron & the pups were so sweet to me for my first mother's day! they made me breakfast, gave me a card, my favorite candy bar, and a new computer! hopefully this means more blogging :) and on saturday we met our friends at a brewery close by and it was so fun! i drank 3 rootbeers. watch out.

worst moment this week: it started snowing on sunday & snowed on and off all day today. so that's really irritating. also, ellen never called me to be on her show and i'm still mad about it.

miss anything?: not this week :)

symptoms & movement: headaches (although less of them!)

cravings & aversions: juice & seafood. and after taking that picture, guacamole. just about puked when we had chicken tamale casserole for dinner tonight. that recipe will be on the back burner for a while.

mood: happy! :)

looking forward to: going to my dad's this weekend & my dr. appointment later this week

weight gain & stretch marks?: i have given up weighing myself until my next appt. no stretch marks.

best moment this week: my mama is here. it's so fun to hang out with her! also finding a place to live in MN.

worst moment this week: being tired/grouchy and getting full after eating 3 bites of my meal. i can be starving and two bites in, i feel like i have eaten thanksgiving dinner.

miss anything?: sleeping through the night & having a day without a headache!

symptoms & movement: headaches

cravings & aversions: still juice. oysters/sushi/seafood also sound good. no major aversions though.

mood: mostly happy, but i have been a little grouchy because i am tired. sorry kameron & mom!

Late to the party this week, sorry mom :) Also, so obsessed with The BrewDogs of Colorado and wear this shirt every chance I get.

how far along: 14 weeks

weight gain & stretch marks?: i have given up weighing myself until my next appt. no stretch marks & let's keep it that way!

best moment this week: getting my diaper bag! & some of my favorite childhood books that my sweet friend catherine sent us! also kameron taught me how to make rock candy, and if you know me at all, you know that was life changing for me. 

worst moment this week: almost puking on the train on the way to work. ease up on the cologne, guys.

miss anything?: sleeping comfortably. i know it will only get worse, but i am used to snuggling in between kameron & capone, and lately they're taking up too much space. one is going to have to go soon, so i hope kameron can get comfy on the couch! ;)

symptoms & movement: i bet you couldn't guess that i was going to say headaches again.

cravings & aversions: juice. i need all the juice. not a big fan of meat.

mood: i'm an emotional basket case. usually i'm happy but i have been tearing up at the dumbest things this week. dropped one of my leftover wings from bww on the floor at work & may or may not have shed a tear about it. embarassing.

looking forward to: my mom will finally be here this weekend! three days off work next week & 80 degree weather for the foreseeable future. sign me up!
