Baby is the size of: large lemon
Symptoms: feeling SO MUCH BETTER! Still hungry, but the starving feeling has subsided. Mostly just a few pains in my stomach and headaches!
Gender: I'm still leaning towards BOY!
Name: we have them and I can't wait to find out so we can call them by their name :)
Movement: still none. I haven't been freaking out or trying to feel any flutters.. I'm just going to let it happen and I feel like I will know when it does.
Nursery: Been pinning stuff and looking at items on Buy Buy Baby and Pottery Barn... PB is dangerous, y'all. Seriously- the cutest stuff.
Maternity Clothes: Still a mixture of both, but my pants officially do.not.fit.
Sleep: Sleeps been better at night. Still waking up about 2 times for a potty break.
Best Moment This Week: relaxing and hitting 14 weeks!
Missing Anything: sushi. unlimited amounts of pumpkin spice lattes.
Cravings/Aversions: Chick-Fil-A. Waffle fries. Chicken sandwich with extra pickles. Ketchup and Polynesian sauce on the side. I could eat this everyday and my mouth is watering just typing it out.

Mood: great mood-- better mood than lately!
Husband: still excited!
Looking Forward To: My next appointment on October 5th! And celebrating my Grandpa's 90th Birthday this weekend! And hopefully finding out when we will find out the sex of this baby!

Due Date: March 29, 2017

Movement: none, yet.
Nursery: getting antsy to start buying for one. But, we will wait until we find out the gender even though it will be gender neutral :)

Cravings/Aversions: I craved Mexican a bit and then ate it 3 days in a row. Oops.

Looking Forward To: getting my hair CUT & COLORED this afternoon! Woo-hoo!

Bumpdate: Week 10
How far along: 10 weeks
Due Date: March 29, 2017

Symptoms: tired and hungry at times. Certain days I'm not in the mood to cook or really eat either, but then sometimes I'm starving.
Gender: way too early to know ;)
Name: we have them picked out already!
Movement: too early for that, but I am looking forward to the movement in the weeks to come!
Nursery: still going over what we like and don't like!
Maternity Clothes: My sister gave me a few things and I bought my first pair of maternity pants for work-- but I'm not sure if I like them yet. I'm still in that awkward stage.
Sleep: so tired and make sure to get in naps during the weekends. I have found the past couple of nights it's been a little harder to get comfortable. I'm also getting up about 2 times each night to go potty.
Best Moment This Week: Telling our parents!!!
Missing Anything: coffee {which I'm going to start drinking a cup every now and then-- watching my caffeine intake, of course}
Cravings/Aversions: unhealthy foods. But, I'm starting to feel the effects of the bad stuff I'm eating. So- I'm trying to have lots of semi-healthy snacks and lunch options for the week.
Health/Exercise: I'm finishing up my last week of Country Heat! Still loving it and think it's the PERFECT workout for those mamas-to-be.
Mood: super crabby and babes isn't liking it at all-- can someone PLEASE tell him to suck it up for a while?
Husband: SO EXCITED and we got to tell our FAMILIES--- and he wants to tell EVERYONE and I don't want to...yet! ha
Looking Forward To: my appointment next Thursday--- and for being able to {hopefully soon} find the heartbeat on the Doppler my sister gave me.
Bumpdate: Week 9
How far along: 9 weeks
Due Date: March 29, 2017
Baby is the size of: A southern pecan.. how fitting ;)
Symptoms: tired, but not as bad as before. I had a really bad headache this week that lasted over a day. Still hungry and not nauseous at all.
Gender: way too early to know ;)
Name: we have them picked out already!
Movement: too early for that, but I am looking forward to the movement in the weeks to come!
Nursery: Still using it as my workout space. I'll miss it when we have to turn it into the nursery. We have been looking at different items and nursery's on pinterest. It's fun to dream and plan!
Maternity Clothes: Not yet-- although, I've been window shopping and adding items into my cart online. Soon.
Sleep: sleeping like a baby. I love it.
Best Moment This Week: seeing the little peanut and hearing his/her heartbeat!!
Missing Anything: coffee and caffeine.
Cravings/Aversions: still wanting all the unhealthy foods. I really want a Big Mac from McDonalds (haven't had one in YEARS) and I haven't caved in to that craving... yet.
Health/Exercise: I'm on Week 3 of Country Heat and trying to get in at least 10,000 steps on my fitbit everyday. Monday was rough since I had a headache and went to sleep at 7. Oops.
Mood: I've been crabby lately and having some minor mood swings.
Husband: He was SO EXCITED about our ultrasound and we were so nervous at the same time. He wants to shout it from the rooftops, but I've sworn him to secrecy for now.
Looking Forward To: telling ALL of our family and close friends! Our sisters both know but that's it, for now.
Bumpdate Week 8
How far along: 8 weeks
Due Date: March 29, 2017
Baby is the size of: A jelly bean
Symptoms: tired, a few cramps here and there, super hungry and not as nauseous. I've also had a few other headaches here and there.
Gender: way too early to know ;)
Name: we have them picked out already!
Movement: too early for that, but I am looking forward to the movement in the weeks to come!
Nursery: Still using it as my workout space. I'll miss it when we have to turn it into the nursery. We have been looking at different items and nursery's on pinterest. It's fun to dream and plan!
Maternity Clothes: Not yet- but I'm tempted. I've gained a little too much weight (thanks to craving carbs and fried foods) and for over a week where I could. not. drink. water. Root beer and sprite were my BFFs but they don't get along with my clothes.
Sleep: Sleep is still great. I get up about 1x each night for a potty break- but that's pretty normal for me.
Best Moment This Week: hitting this milestone!
Missing Anything: coffee and feeling like myself!
Cravings/Aversions: still craving unhealthy foods and SPICY foods and red sauce. No aversions other than just not feeling certain foods for the moment.
Health/Exercise: I'm on Week 2 of Country Heat! I love it. I really feel more energized after I workout. If I'm not asleep by 6PM (ha!) I try to get in a neighborhood walk in the evenings. I really want to be better about this.
Mood: I'm still in a weird mood- wanting to hear a heartbeat before I get too excited type mood.
Husband: He's been great-- but maybe a little to eager to get things together and I'm wanting to wait before I know I'm out of the first trimester.
Looking Forward To: our dating ultrasound MONDAY (less than a week away!)
