We're Adding a Pumpkin to Our Patch!


As of today, I am 13 weeks pregnant! Dan and I are very excited to add a new 'lil punkin to our growing family! 

I'm planning on doing a weekly update on how things are going. 
I feel like it's a little cheesy, but it's also kind of fun, and this is a good space for that :) 

So here's the first update:

How far along? 13 weeks
Total weight gain: I'm not totally sure if I'll keep track of this or not. At my last appointment, I was what I normally weigh.
Maternity clothes? Not yet. I do have to use a hair tie so that I don't have to button my pants- most of them are just too snug/uncomfortable buttoned regularly. My sister-in-law (the one who just had babies) mentioned that I should get a belly band to help with this problem- which I did- and it was such a great investment so far!
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: I have been SO tired and not sleeping as well as normal. I wake up to use the bathroom usually once or twice and then wake up randomly through out the night. To balance this out, I've been going to be around 8:30 so I get enough sleep to teach the 4K kids.
Best moment this week: Making it through the first trimester! Woo-hoo!  
Miss Anything? Energy. Not feeling nauseas all the time (unless I'm munching on cheerios or bread). 
Movement: I can't feel anything yet, and won't be able to for a while, but we did get to see our little one wiggle away at the first ultrasound a few weeks ago!
Food cravings: White foods: cheerios, pasta, bread, apples, pretzels, chips. . .
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not eating every hour and a half or two hours automatically makes me want to throw up. I feel nauseas all day long , especially right when I wake up in the morning. Supposedly this should go away with in the next week or so though.
Gender: We won't know for a while. I don't have any predictions either
Labor Signs: I hope I have no signs anytime before I'm supposed to.  
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm happy most of the time with spurts of crying at random things.
Looking forward to: Going to bed tonight :)
