24 weeks!!!!

how far along: 24 weeks

total weight gain: 15 pounds. (can't believe I have gained two since last week)

baby is the size of: foot long sub

miss anything: beer, and vanilla lattes. i will miss all coffee this time of year.

cravings: grapes, and nachos

belly button in or out:  more so out than in.  but not all the way out yet.

looking forward to: having our nursery furniture delivered.  it comes next week!!!!!

best moment this week: going to target with my dear friend jenny to set up my baby registry.  so exciting!

maternity clothes:  maternity clothes all the time, otherwise oversized pajamas. 

labor symptoms: none

being 24 weeks somewhat puts my mind at easy with this pregnancy.  hopefully i won't go into labor early, but at this point in the pregnancy if i do, the doctors could do their best to save the baby if he does indeed come early.  i also am in complete shock that i am 6 months pregnant now!! it is crazzzyyy!!!!! this pregnancy is flying by so quickly.  

i have a doctor appointment tomorrow for my glucose test.  really not looking forward to doing it.  my doctor gave my the drink last time i was there and i picked the lemon-lime flavor because it seemed like the best option out of the three.  so tomorrow morning at 8am i will leave the house, to make it to my 9am appointment and on the way in i get to drink the drink.  very nervous.  i really hope i pass so i don't have to do the three hour test.  

i will try and remember to update tomorrow right when i get home from the appointment.  wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!

Registry Time!!!!!!!

today was fun, fun, fun!!!!!!!!!!! i got to make my baby shower registry .  my lovely friend jenny llanes from llanes weddings took me over to target to help me register for stuff. being a first time mama i had no idea what to put on there.  but i think we scored with putting some good things on there, and i will also make an amazon registry with a few other things we need. 

what are your likes for newborns?   

can it be january already!?  i want to meet this kid!

23 Weeks!!!!!

so along with having pregnancy brain, i've just been way too darn tired to update this thing.  but i stumbled across a few other pregnant girls blogs, and loved something they were doing weekly to track their pregnancy.  so i thought i'd give that a shot, and see how that worked out for me.  so here goes nothing!!!!!!!!

how far along: 23 weeks!!!!!!! (well and 3 hours)

total weight gain: 13ish pounds

baby is the size of: ear of corn

miss anything: SLEEP!!!!!!!! it is impossible to get good sleep these days.

cravings: orange juice, eggo waffles (all the time!)

symptoms:  sciatica, insomnia, very moody this week.

belly button in or out: more so out, than in.

movement: lots of kicks here and there, as well as some rolling. 

looking forward to: setting up the nursery, cooler weather, and going to paris next month (seriously so excited)!!!!

best moment this week: nothing really stands out in my mind.  nothing horrible happened, but nothing great either.  maybe something will happen today or tomorrow!

maternity clothes: officially in maternity clothes mode.  none of my old dresses fit, and i am most definitely not fitting in any of my pre-pregnancy pants.  not that i ever wore pants any ways.  i have always been a dress kind of gal.

labor symptoms: none.

oh also!!!!!!!!!! a few weeks ago, we found out our baby is a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  we could not be happier!!!!!!!! 

ultra feast

i don't know how many people use to watch the office, or who would even remember this reference, but today was totally a day where i ate like pam in the episode "the delivery".  pam is in labor in this episode and they briefly talk about her wanting to have ultra feast, which is pam's excuse to totally pig out.  she also said her daily meals are as follows:

• first breakfast
• second breakfast
• first lunch
• second lunch
• first dinner
• second dinner

this is pretty much how my eating has been today.  i've NEVER been so hungry in my life.  for first breakfast i had a bagel, second i had an egg sandwich,  first lunch i had indian food (from trader joes), second lunch i had mac n cheese.  SHEESH!  totally loving food today.  i'm going to be 15 weeks pregnant tomorrow, and i hope today was just a freak hungry day.  i definitely don't want to be eating like this everyday!!!!

making a quilt

it's really important to me, to be able to make things for our new little one on the way.  one of the things i decided to make for our little bean is a quilt.  i was planning on going to jo ann's fabric store, but my bestie ended up finding an AMAZING fabric shop called Sew Modern . it was one of the most neat fabric stores ever.  really cute/modern fabrics, as well as a very helpful staff.  

i picked out 7 different fabrics, came home and got started.  considering it's the first quilt i've ever made, i know it's not going to be perfect.  but nevertheless, i love how it is turning out so far.

i will update with pictures as it comes along.  

here is a photo from last wednesday the 17th.

that one day we got married

on june 15. 2013 i got to marry my best friend.  it was such a magical day.  the planning process was terrible, but when the day came, it ran so smoothly.  it was nice being able to spend the day with our closest friends, and our families all in one room.  i just wish the day wouldn't have ended so quickly.  

we got married at the la valencia hotel, in san diego.  the wedding started at 4:30 and went on till about 10.  after that we were so beat we headed back to the hotel and went to sleep. 

here are some pictures of our lovely day.
