1/2 Way There!!!

I can't believe that I am already at the halfway point of this pregnancy. Time is flying, and I'm starting to get anxious about everything that needs to be done before Baby Fernandez makes their grand entry.

According to my iPhone app, Baby is the size of a small cantaloupe. Mamma on the other hand is looking more like the Michelin Man....hopefully I will get a "bump" picture up this weekend.

Rant

I'm at this really annoying stage of pregnancy where nothing fits, regular clothes are too small, maternity clothes too big. Also, this "bump" is not looking like a baby bump, more of a beer bump. Every time I look in the mirror I have to remind myself it's OK, I'm pregnant. It's hard. Hoping that this bump starts to look more like a cute preggo bump soon; I'm scared I'm going to be one of those "not cute" pregnant women.

P.S. Maybe I am just fat.......I ate ALL of that licorice in less than 10 minutes.

P.P.S "They" say that if most of your weight is in the front it's a boy; more in the middle a girl...........it's looking middle-ish to me. Just sayin'

Craving

At least they are fat free?

Waiting

It's only about 2 weeks until we find out the sex of our little Baby Fernandez. The hardest part about waiting for me is not being able to decorate the nursery. I've been pinning like mad lately, here is some inspiration:

If Baby Girl Fernandez

If Baby Boy Fernandez

Whatever the baby may be, this is sure to be the most decorated room in the house :-)

Sleep-Aide

3 things a pregnant woman should never (can't) sleep without.
1. Body Pillow - you can not sleep on you back after ~17 weeks.
2. Cool Mist Humidifier - pregnancy has caused massive dry skin/throat/nose
3. AmazonMom - you can order ANYTHING you could possibly need with free 2-day shipping!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Spring Forward

Our bodies have, now what about the weather? For now I will have to settle for buying myself flowers.

17 Weeks

I have this fun little app on my iPhone. Each week it updates me with stats on the babies' size. For example, week 5 the baby was the size of an apple seed; week 8 a raspberry, etc.

Well, today we have reached the size of an Onion! What does this mean exactly? Baby Fernandez is about 5.1 inches and 5.9oz.

Keep on growing kiddo!

16 Week Bump Update

I'm a little late getting the ball rolling on the "growing tummy" shots, but now is better than never. Keeping with the theme of running late, I was officially 16 weeks last Friday, this shot was taken on Sunday, and I'm finally getting around to posting it on Tuesday. I digress. Overall, this pregnancy has been fairly easy (with the exception of a trip to the ER). I was lucky enough to avoid "morning" sickness all together with my biggest complaint being my teenage skin returning in full force.

Also, this is probably one of the worst shots of me, bare with Shawn and I as we figure out a good place to take the picture, but more importantly working on our camera skills.

Stats
Baby Size: Avacado
Total Weight Gain: 3lbs at last Dr. Appt.
Maternity Clothes: Had to use the Belly Band with my slacks last week,  and some maternity tank tops for comfort. Still fitting in jeans, barely.
Food Cravings: Sweets sometimes
Food Adversions: Raspberries
Symptoms: Headaches, overall tiredness, excessive hair growth (gross, I know), using the restroom a lot; stuffy nose, dry/chapped lips, always thirsty, acne, giant ta-tas (I don't consider this a plus)
Movement: None felt yet
Belly Button: In
Gender: Unknown
Best Moment of the Week: Ultrasound in ER confirming everything is fine with Baby Fernandez
What I'm Looking Forward To: Finding out the gender so that I can start decorating the nursery!
What I Miss: Clear Skin
What Else: I had a trip to the ER on Saturday after some cramping that lasted 36 hours, after some fluids and an Ultrasound it was determined that it was likely due to either dehydration or the fact that my fibroids are growing and causing discomfort - likely to continue throughout the pregnancy.  Anxiously awaiting the arivial of my body pillow to help me stay on my side at night.
