Bump: 24 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 24 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: 31 pounds - yikes! 

Size of Baby: Eggplant

Maternity Clothes: Mix of maternity and Lularoe

Sleep: Still good! 

Food Cravings: Crunch Wrap Supreme from Taco Bell - I might have made the hubs get Qdoba to go and then drive across the parking lot to Taco Bell for me ;) 

Food Aversions: Healthy stuff still doesn't sound good - but I force it down! 

Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: Some heartburn - bought tums for the first time :) And an itchy very dry stomach! 

Milestones: If she was to be born now chances are 50-70% she would survive --- hoping she'll cook for awhile longer but this is happy news!

Movement: Lots! 

Best moment of the week:  More unexpected Snow Days! Today and yesterday! :) Time to just be home, relax, and get some things done too! 

Looking forward to: Appointment next week when we'll hear baby girls heartbeat again. 

Extra Notes:  A funny to remember - a student in another Kindergarten room saw me and asked why my tummy was so big.  I told her there was a baby in there.  She then asked if I swallowed the baby. Ha!  I also have a student who is ALL about trying to feel baby girl kick - every change he has he puts his hand on my tummy and pushes {his mom had a baby this summer} asking where she is.  

Today we found out that we got into the daycare we were keeping our fingers crossed about!   I never knew it was SO hard to get into a place, so this was definitely a huge relief to find out already that we are off the list and are IN! 

Bump: 23 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 23 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: 28 pounds - the Christmas sweets need to GO! This is the one part of pregnancy that I have struggled the most with.  It is so hard to see the scale go up when I have just worked so hard to have it go down.  I know my body will put on what it needs to grow this healthy baby girl but I still struggle with it daily. I was reminded by my coworkers that I've dropped it before and I will be determined to do that again so I shouldn't fret about it ---- I'm trying my best to not stress about it.  

Size of Baby: A bunch of grapes or a Babie Doll {I think my nieces will get a kick out of that one!}

Maternity Clothes: Still wearing some non-maternity tops and dresses {Hello LulaRoe!} but all maternity pants.

Sleep: Still good! 

Food Cravings: Lucky Charms are my fav right now! 

Food Aversions: Anything healthy - but I force myself to eat the healthy stuff ;)
Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: A little bit of heartburn this week. 

Milestones: According to my baby app - Baby girl has taste buds now!

Movement: Still feeling her move more and more - mostly when laying in bed in the morning and at night.  Addi did get to feel her kick this week and so did Annie when they were visiting :) 

Best moment of the week: Getting things for her nursery! We made a trip to IKEA to get a dresser that will be her changing table and a shelving unit.  My MIL and I began figuring out fabric to order for baby girl's bedding/window treatments that she's going to make for us, and my parents bought us a crib!  The hubs took advantage of the snow day today too and built the dresser and crib - feels so much more real now! :) 

Looking forward to: Play weekend - this weekend the hubs directs the school play. I'm excited to see it!

Extra Notes:  Going back to work yesterday was EXHAUSTING ... needless to say I was asleep on the couch by 9 :)  So thankful for a snow day today! 

Last night I brought up bins of baby girl clothes that my SIL handed down to us.  So fun to go through it all, remember my nieces wearing it and envisioning our little girl in them! 

Bump: 22 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 22 Weeks

Total Weight Gain:  Forgot to weight myself this morning, oops!

Size of Baby: Corn on the Cob

Maternity Clothes: Some Lularoe that is not maternity - other wise, maternity all the way.

Sleep: Still good - although getting up early in the AM to go to the bathroom.

Food Cravings: Sweets 

Food Aversions: Shrimp

Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: I'm beginning to get tired more often again ...

Milestones: Typically babies at 22 weeks are 1 pound - so we've hit the 1 pound mark! 

Movement: Continuing to feel her more and more - and she even gave the hubs a good kick last night!

Best moment of the week: Spending lots of time with family and having the hubs feel her kick for the first time.  His face was pretty priceless :) 

Looking forward to: Going to IKEA to get furniture for the nursery.  

Extra Notes:  Being on break this week has been wonderful - time to relax and get some things done.

On Christmas Day my niece Addi told me, "I really want to feel baby girl kick."  It was quite possibly the cutest thing ever. 

Bump: 21 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 21 Weeks

{Don't mind the end of Kindergarten Christmas party look ;)  }

Total Weight Gain: 22 lbs

Size of Baby: Carrot

Maternity Clothes: Bottoms YES! Tops, some yes ... some still non-maternity.

Sleep: So far, so good!

Food Cravings: Sweets and carbs

Food Aversions: Spicy food does not sound appealing at all - but then again it never really does.

Gender: Girl :) 

Symptoms: I still have to go to the bathroom ALL the time ... at school I am constantly looking out my door to grab someone to cover my classroom so I can escape for a quick bathroom break. :)

Milestones: Past the halfway mark!

Movement: Feeling her more and more.

Best moment of the week: Sweet baby girl gifts from friends - so very thoughtful and crazy to think we will have something so little to fit in those outfits!

Looking forward to: Christmas Break! Officially starts this evening! 

Extra Notes:  This week we moved the furniture from the nursery into the guest room so we can start working on Baby Girl's room!  We also found bedding that we LOVE and hopefully my mother in law will be making it for us. :)

Lots of coworkers on Monday told me I definitely grew over the weekend.  They said you can definitely now tell I'm pregnant. 

We have a name for baby girl - but won't be sharing it until she arrives.  Here's to hoping neither one of us slip up! :)

Bye Bye Bike Room ...

It is true ... this was one of our spare bedrooms in the house ...

And now, it's clear why we needed to build a garage SO badly!  I'm happy to report that the garage is DONE! {If it wasn't so stinking cold out I'd go take a picture!} and yesterday we successfully finished putting everything together in the guest room/workout room!

We moved the bed and dresser over from the other spare room that will now become the nursery ...

I have to say, we're pretty happy with the final product!  It took a lot of work - the hubs had lots of stuff that he had to go through {thank you thank you for doing that!} but it is DONE! 

Now ... time to start working on the nursery! :)

Bump: 20 Weeks ...

How Far Along: 20 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: 19 lbs

Size of Baby: Artichoke 

Maternity Clothes: Still wearing some regular shirts and some of my larger sweatpants at home - but for work, it's maternity bottoms ALL the way! 

Sleep: So far, so good!

Food Cravings: Chocolate!

Food Aversions: The hubs mentioned getting a BBQ pizza last night and that sounded NASTY to me!

Gender: Bring on the pink ... it's a GIRL!

Symptoms: Peeing ALL the time!

Milestones: We're halfway there! Time is flying by right now!

Movement: I've been feeling a little! At our appointment yesterday they said that my placenta is sitting just right so it is keeping me from feeling a lot of movement right now.  But, we saw her moving and grooving yesterday! 

Best moment of the week: Our ultrasound appointment yesterday! We got to watch baby girl on the screen for a good 20/25 minutes.  And we found out that all looks good! So reassuring to hear!

Looking forward to: Christmas break and sleeping in! :)

Extra Notes:  I will admit it, I was convinced we were having a boy - and the hubs is pretty proud to say that he predicted Girl from the beginning :) 

The kinders voted on what they thought Baby Webb would be and boy won.  I had some disappointed boys today when they found out it was a girl :)  They also thought that I was bringing the baby back for them to see today ... thankfully new pictures of her made them happy :)
