17 Weeks

I'm not posting any pictures this time because to be honest, I just feel really blah about the way I look right now.  I've gained right at 20 pounds as of now.  I'm definitely starting to round out.  But instead of the nice "D" shaped belly, I have a not so nice "B" shaped belly.  Lovely image, I know!  Everything is going really good.  I have started getting mild heartburn here and there.  Not bad enough to be miserable, but enough to hope that it doesn't get worse.  We are very excited to find out if we are having a boy or a girl.  We find out April 4th!!!!  It is hard to believe that I'm almost halfway there.  It seems like it has been very fast on one hand and then very slow on the other.  We bought our crib and it has arrived.

In other news.....after 3+ years working on the "man cave", it is finally DONE!!!!!!!  Only now it is a den.  We have a few touch ups to do this week and then I will post pictures!  My husband is awesome!  I couldn't be more proud.  Now to start on the nursery!  Poor guy!  We get one project finished then he has to start on another! 

15 Weeks

So I haven't blogged in a while but honestly, things have been pretty uneventful.  I keep telling Jonathan that I am probably going to have the worst labor and delivery ever because this pregnancy has been very easy.  Too easy.......so far!  (Knock on wood!)  I really don't have any huge complaints about being pregnant.  I am now in my second trimester so I am excited about that.  I never got any kind of morning sickness or nausea so I am VERY thankful for that.  I'm not feeling as tired as I was in my first trimester.  I can stay up past 8:00 now!  LOL  I am having the craziest, most vivid dreams.  This has been going on from the beginning.  I also have to say that anyone that would pay to have big boobs are crazy!  Mine are growing at rapid pace!  HA!  The only thing that has really been hard about being pregnant is gaining weight.  Yes, I know that it part of it.  But, I worked so hard to lose all the weight, it is just really hard to see it coming back on at such a fast pace.  I have gained about 16 pounds so far.  I know that isn't terrible, but it is ahead of schedule as far as what I am supposed to gain.  It is frustrating because I can't diet.  I'm not eating bad things or unhealthy by any means.  But when it's time to eat, it's time to eat!!!  HA!  I know that it will all be worth it in the end and blah, blah, blah.  It still doesn't make it easier right now.

 

8 weeks (both of the above)

 14 weeks (both)

There isn't much of a belly bump.  I just look fat in both pictures!  But either way, I want to document myself along the way.
