17 weeks

Today marks 17 weeks! 161 days to until delivery 

The baby is the size of an onion, weighing 5.9 oz. 

My belly looks like it could be home to a few onions. 

According to the Bump, this week the baby will master simple 

reflexes such as swallowing, sucking and blinking.  

Madison and Titus are beyond excited! They are beginning to realize 

that my baby bump is growing. The concept of a baby

growing in there is becoming real for them. 

Of course they are also excited because someone will get a bunk bed...

No lie that might excite them more. 

MOOD: Great! Over all I feel wonderful. No real problems or complaints. I am sure Nate might have a few other comments...

FOOD CRAVINGS: Salty and spicy and Pepsi. 

EXERCISE: Still jazzing, walking and yoga! 

SLEEP: I have had to make the transition to sleeping on my sides :( Boo 

I am stomach or back sleeper. Sleeping on my side hurts my shoulders. 

16 weeks

Happy 4th of JULY !!

This marks my 16th week of pregnancy!

The baby is the size of an avocado (yum)! 

The baby only weighs 3.5 oz. hmmm but my baby bump says different. 

I feel great, I still have days that I am super exhausted but over-all I am feeling wonderful.

BOY or GIRL

Everyone keeps asking if I have a "motherly instinct" as to the sex of the baby. With both my children I was blessed to have very good pregnancies. With Madison I craved spicy things like jalapeno's and spicy nacho cheese. With Titus it was more french fries, and breads.
With both I had heart burn and craved whole milk.
Both of those officially kicked in around week 15.
So, I am really not sure......

Exercise: I am still Jazzing it up with my girls and doing yoga when I can't make it to Jazzercise.
I have noticed that I am out of breath quicker, but I know that is to be excepted.

Mood: My mood is good, no lie I have my bitchy moments, but I am not crying over
 stupid tv shows......yet!

Food: This pregnancy has been the best in regards to eating. After giving birth to Titus
I totally change my eating habits. I ditch soda, sweet tea and candy. I am not going to lie since I have been pregnant every now and then a cherry pepsi sounds and taste FABULOUS !! I crave spicy foods, salty foods and every now then sweets, and I might kill for a glass of whole milk!!
I am trying to very conscious about what I eat.

 Anyway, stay tuned we hopefully will find out the sex of the baby July 26th!!
