Update

What a busy two weeks! I dont even know where time has gone!!

I am not 19 weeks along and loving it.
Little mans (or girls) arms and legs are definately getting stronger.
I am feeling his/her kicks and movements alot more now.
Still cant feel them from the outside yet, but I have a feeling that it will happen within the next week or 2.

Pickles, Cereal and Sunny D are my most recent cravings!
I cannot get enough Sunny D! I love it!

I have started working out with Jord at least 3 days a week and it feels good to be actually working out again!
Im focusing on my legs and my arms, that way when I am ready to lose my baby belly I can totally focus on that.
I try to run a mile every time i work out, usually half mile in the begining and half at the end. And for someone who used to HATE and i do mean HATE running, I do believe I am begining to actually like it. It just feels good to run.

I have a few belly pics to post, but I think I am gonna go shower now instead and I will post them later...

tummy

Well right now Im just about to go to bed and thought I'd leave ya with a new belly pic..

17 weeks 3 days

Right now this lil guy/gal is movin around more than I've felt during this pregnancy so far.
I love it.
Well, Its off to bed for this preggo chick!
Good Night!

Dr. apt

Dr. appointment yesterday went good! babies heart beat is at 155 and all is good.
He/She has definately started moving, nothing to big yet, but if I bend the right way, or wear pants a little tight he/she pushes it like its in his/her space. haha. i love it. I love being able to feel my baby kicking. Its one of the coolest feelings ever, I cant wait til the kicks keep me awake all night :)
According to the dr.'s scale I've gained a total of 6lbs since my first appointment. Not too bad if I do say so myself, especially considering that all I've done the last 3 weeks is eat and drink constantly. Now days however, there is nothing that seems to sound very good. Nothing except what I saw on TV this morning while watching Kitchen Boss-he made some italian sausage and peppers and onions and put it on a sandwhich...OMG that still sounds amazing! I need to figure out a way to get ahold of the stuff to make it and make me one...probably this weekend.

24 to go!

16 weeks and counting. I have a very distinctive baby bump now! We have yet to have a "public pregnancy announcement" (as in on facebook). And I am not sure we will announce it til later on in the pregnancy...maybe even between 20-30 weeks. Very few people know, and to be quite honest I am perfectly fine with that. When he/she is here it will be such an amazing surprise to everyone.

jordon, the kids and I made a trip to Salt Lake last weekend and we ended up at Babies R Us in Ogden for our last store. We ended up buying a carseat because with my super small two door pontiac we weren't sure if we'd even be able to FIT a third seat in that car! I tried to put it in yesterday...hahaha. Its a VERY tight squeeze. I think that if its absolutely no other way to get around it will work, but not for very much longer! Jord and I are looking at spending a majority of our tax returns on a down payment on a car. But he is looking at actual CARS and SUV type vehicles that only hold up to 5 people..I on the other hand am looking for into anything with 3rd row seating (TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THE MAZDA CX-9)

OOOOOH YEEEAH!
..............................................................................................................................

As for actual pregnancy related news:
I have a doctors appointment on tuesday the 25th.
Jordon has a list of set baby names he likes and is hardly open to new ideas..BLEK! lol this is going to get fun.
On my home scale I've only gained a total of 1.5lbs since my first appointment in December. (we will see what the dr. scale says next week tho!)
I havent had any morning sickness or any weird cravings. I am constantly thirsty tho!
We still arent finding out the sex.
We were worried about getting a 3D/4D ultrasound done because we didnt wanna find out the sex, but we've agreed that we will let the U/S tech know we dont want to know, and if by chance we get a "sneak peak" we will have only that to go by. NO doctor confirmations or anything. Just what we see is our wildest guess.
I cannot believe on how far along I am already, almost to the half way point!
Its starting to go by SO fast, but still not fast enough!

Well I hope you all have a great day!

15 weeks

15 weeks and 3 days along. Jordon and I are BARELY starting to agree on names-we dont love each others names at all-but we are getting closer! lol. Good thing we still have 24ish more weeks to decide on them!

I have been feeling great! This pregnancy has been as easy as my other two (no morning sickness, WOOT WOOT) :D

The only two differences that i notive with the pregnancy that I dont know if I had the last two or not is my desire to sleep ALL the time. I LOVE to sleep lately, its not that I walk around so fatiged that I HAVE to sleep, its just sleep comes so easy when I get the chance to close my eyes and I have been sleeping SO deeply its amazing! I Love it!

Also, I've actually experienced heart burn for the first time. I've never had heart burn before, EVER. Its not constantly, but has happened quite a few times begining this week. According to all of those "Wives Tales" this kid should be born with alot of hair!

Speaking of Wives tales, I do believe I mentioned that we are not finding out the sex of this baby. So of course, just for fun, I've been reading wives tales and taking lil quizes and whatnot to determine if its a boy or girl (even if they only give a 50% chance of being right, they are still fun to take and tease Jordon with :) I found a quiz-i think on babycenter.com but im not totally sure that I took, It came out that there is a 100% Chance its a girl...however with the wives tales they all lean towards being a boy except for one! lol. But its still fun.

OOOH! Nursery! I think that the nursery is going to be Grey, Yellow and Black. I think its gonna be SUPER cute. I cant wait. Although I am terribly indecisive when it comes to buying stuff like this, I always think im gonna buy it and find something cuter, so we will see if that is going to be the ACTUAL colors we go with!

Well, I will leave you with a few pictures today...

My Amazing kids, Brayden Myles and Harlee Jae-they just learned that there is a baby in mommy's tummy-harlee thinks theres one in hers too.and of course me and my li'l baby belly! Took this on Tuesday! 15 down, 25(ish) to go!

Oh my goodness!

I have had some very interesting cravings during the last few days!

When I was pregnant with Brayden all I wanted all day every day was strawberries.

With Harlee it was Chicken Nuggets.

With this one, wow. Its been weird. Its been something new everyday.

Monday I wanted pickles and ate tons of them!

Tuesday I wanted tuna salad-on crackers, a sandwhich and just plain by the end of the day!

Today has been Cup-O-Noodles and milk.

I cant get enough of them!!



So Jordon and I have decided that we are not going to find out the sex of our baby until he/she is born!

Its going to be hard not to be curious and just ask the dr. out of the blue one day, but I am determined not too!

Our reasonings are

1. It will thoroughly annoy some of our relatives :)

2. It will be fun arguing/guessing if its a boy or girl the whole 40 weeks!

3. When he/she is born, it will have more of a meaning to us when the Dr. says "Its a Boy" or "Its a Girl!"



Here are a few of the nursury sets I've found that I really like that are gender neutral.
