An announcement...

So for the handful of you who read this, this might not be big news as you already know…but we are expecting our first baby in May. We are super excited and can’t wait to meet him or her. I always see these cute little question points and figured I’d try and do some. It will be a nice record of my pregnancy and way to look back. I haven’t taken any belly shots yet but this pic is from two weeks ago (so about 15 weeks along).

How far along? Almost 17 weeks

Baby's size? According to one website, Bam (as in our little Bambino) is the size of a Pear

Weight Gain? Maybe a pound or two total

Maternity clothes? A pair of jeans and a couple of shirts. Most of my clothes are still fitting. I also just bought some bigger sized pants and have been rocking the elastic waist.

Stretch marks? Nope -- please Coco Butter Lotion work your magic and keep those nasty marks away. LOL

Belly button in or out? Still in

Sleep? I have no trouble falling asleep that’s for sure. But some nights I am out for the whole night; others I am up every few hours.

Foods I am loving? I am actually just starting to enjoy food again. The first three-plus months were rough. Nothing tasted good. Now things are starting to sound good again but still no cravings.

Foods I am hating? Anything fried or super strong fragrance. Still eating pretty conservatively to make sure Bam is happy

Best moment this week? Not feeling sick all day long!!! And meeting with our day care provider. Just one thing I can check off the long list of to-dos.

Movement? I know from our 12-week sono, Bam likes to move it! I haven’t felt anything per say but I am waiting. There have been a few twinges that may have been movement -- or it might have just been gas. LOL

Symptoms? Super sensitive tummy but overall not too bad

Gender? ??? If all goes well, we will find out in a few short weeks.

What I miss? Being able to pull anything out of my closest and having it fit and look good.

What I'm looking forward to? Finding out if we’re having a little Miss or Mister Mister.

Weekly Wisdom: Try not to get stressed. Everything will work out and you can’t worry about everything. (This is what I remind my worrisome self every day.)

Until next time,

Fabulous KT
