To my smarter than you should be, sassier than you should be, beautiful baby girl on your 4th birthday...I love you! You are so special and loved by so many. I know you are going to be the best big sister when your brother arrives. I can't wait to see you in action and be my little "assistant" as we often talk about. I've tried to really soak up these last few weeks with you as our only child and me not working, as I know it's limited. It does make me sad that you are growing up and there have been a few tears shed. I'm not gonna lie about that, but you are growing up wonderfully and I am so excited to see where your future leads you. You are bold, proud, friendly, outgoing, sensitive and all around a sweet and polite little human being.

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY HAILEY!

Mommy and Daddy love you!

(20 weeks)

We are officially at the half way point and I didn't even take any pictures this week to document it. 

Shame on me!

I had dinner with some friends this week and we attended our ex neighbor's daughter's Bah Mitzvah celebration.

I had so much fun eating and Hailey had a blast dancing! The theme was "Under the Sea." Hence the blue dresses.

(21 weeks)

Hailey had picture day at school this week, which entailed me trying to find a suitable outfit. We had a swarm game and then a WWE wrestling event. 

UPDATE:

Maternity Clothes: I am wearing maternity clothes exclusively. There are a few regular shirts that I can still cram into, but for the most part it's all maternity. In addition to a few things from Target, I picked up a few items at Motherhood Maternity.

Sleep: I am still sleeping good thanks to my body pillow.

Best Moment of the Week: Wayne being able to feel the baby now through my stomach.  

Movement: Yes! Everyday.

Food Craving: Nothing outrageous...fruit, meat and salty things.

Food Aversions: Sometimes I smell things that don't agree with me, but not too often.

Morning Sickness: None. I'm just really hungry and have to eat.

Gender: We had our Dr appointment and ultrasound today (3-9-15) and found out we are having a BOY! See HERE.

Symptoms: I have had heartburn a couple times, which I took tums for. I have had a few charlie horses, but other than the normal tiredness and being achy, I am feeling pretty good.

What I miss: Not being uncomfortable while bending over. Tying my boots or tennis shoes. Not being out of breath after walking. Just small things.

What I'm looking forward to: Our BIG Dr appointment that was this week where we find out gender! Sharing our gender news with family and friends.

This is my fave purchase this week.

{TWO}

This is my fave quote from this week. The D Fam has a lot going on lately and as soon as I read this, it just clicked.

{THREE}

This is one of my absolute fave shows lately. It just had it's season 1 finale this past Wednesday. If you haven't checked it out lately. GO NOW!!

{FOUR}

This is my fave picture of the week. Shout-out to the Hubs for letting me take his seat and getting this picture. I heart John Cena. 

{FIVE}

Something I'm thankful for this week is for modern medicine. I had to take Hailey into urgent care last night and she tested positive for strep throat. She was so not herself and I just hate seeing her so sick and NOT herself. 1 dose of medicine and 12 hours of sleep later and she was feeling so much better!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

This is me and Mini D this week. I started feeling the baby move this week. It's just as I remember it.

Monday, February 23, 2015
(19 weeks)

UPDATE:

Maternity Clothes: Yes. I still have a few shirts I can fit into, but it's mostly exclusively maternity clothes. I have bought a few new shirts from Target. I seriously love their stuff!

Sleep: I am sleeping good thanks to my pillow. I cannot lay flat anymore. I feel like I can't breath. I need to be elevated.

Best Moment of the Week: Really feeling the baby move. 

Movement: Yes!

Food Craving: Nothing too extreme. One day I woke up and had wanted tater tot hotdish for dinner and then as the day went on I wanted french toast. So I stopped at the store and got everything for French Toast and had that for dinner. It's hard to plan for dinner. It's usually a last minute thing depending on what I'm craving at the time.

Food Aversions: Sometimes I smell things that don't agree with me, but not too much.

Morning Sickness: I did throw up one morning last week, but I don't think it was just the baby. We had the stomach flu in our house the week before and earlier in the week, so I think it just hit me at the right time.

Gender: Unknown, but we will hopefully be finding out at our 3/9 appointment!

Symptoms: I have had heartburn a couple times, which I took tums for. Other than the normal tiredness and being achy, I am feeling pretty good.

What I miss: Not being so uncomfortable while bending over. Tying my winter boots or tennis shoes. Not being out of breath after walking. Just small things.

What I'm looking forward to: Our BIG Dr appointment on 3/9!

This is me and Mini D this week:

Monday, February 9, 2015
(17 weeks)

I was supposed to have my Dr appointment last Wednesday, but had to reschedule to today. Everything was great and we heard the heartbeat again. It was normal at 160.

Saturday, February 14, 2015
(17 weeks, 5 days)

We celebrated Valentine's Day. We went to dinner and a movie and we were both so tired, but made it.

UPDATE:

Maternity Clothes: Yes! I am pretty much wearing nothing but maternity clothes. I still have a few shirts that I can fit into, but it's mostly all maternity stuff.

Sleep: I have continued to sleep pretty well with the continued assistance of the pillow. 

Best Moment of the Week: Dr appointment as always.

Movement: None yet.

Food Craving: Not too many things. I get something specific in my head or something from a certain place and then decide that's what I want. One night I wanted a burger, so I made homemade burgers. It was delicious.

Food Aversions: I've started having some aversions to some smelly foods, but that's pretty much it so far.

Morning Sickness: None.

Gender: Unknown, but we set our next Dr appointment for 3/9 (21 weeks) and that will be the big ultrasound where we hopefully find out if it's a boy or girl. Also, fingers crossed for a healthy baby!

Symptoms: I've been feeling pretty good. Mostly just tired still. I have noticed that I get out of breath faster and that bending over is getting harder. I feel like these things are occurring sooner than they did with Hailey, but I also think I am bigger now than I was with her. I also do not have the "glowing" skin that is supposed to come with pregnancy. I have had various breakouts on my face, which is really abnormal for me normally, so getting them while pregnant has been frustrating. 

What I miss: Not too much. I haven't been as strict with coffee/caffeine as I was with Hailey. Don't get me wrong, I still limit it, but I am allowing myself to have it when I want it. 

What I'm looking forward to: Our 21 week Dr appointment on 3/9.
