So these past two weeks snuck by me so fast! I thought I would put 14 and 15 weeks together since there wasn't much change between the two weeks besides a wee growth in the bump in my 15 week picture. (Mostly because we had a family reunion and there was an excessive amount of food! I was full all stinking day!) During week 14, we celebrated our two year anniversary. It was sweet and perfect. But mostly hard to believe it has been two years and were welcoming a new little member to our family during our third year of marriage together! My husband took my 14 week picture after our anniversary dinner together. By the way, he is has sweet as can be you guys...so thoughtful and kind. He got me the most beautiful flowers, scarf and necklace from Anthropologie, perfume, and a preggie pillow! This week has been so sweet as I looked back on our wedding day and we have just had fun together doing everyday life things. I have found myself stopping and appreciating moments I usually pass quickly by. I truly appreciate Heath more than he knows and cant even believe some days he chose me as his wife! He has been so wonderful through all this, I truly believe he will be such an amazing dad to our little. Excuse the sappy stuff, just cant help it! I think also it has alot to do with how fast this pregnancy is flying by. When 15 weeks snuck up on me I realized, "OH my gosh, we will know the gender of what our pea is in a week!!!" First comes excitement, then comes a little fear, then comes this overwhelming feeling of love that I didn't know I had for something so small. I am so excited to know this little heart and personality. I am excited to dream about what he/she will do in her life. Will he/she love basketball like their dad? Will he/she be silly and fun? Will he/she be creative and freespirited? Finding out the gender makes me feel like I will know them just a little bit more and that is amazing to me.
Sooo, the next time I update this blog we will (hopefully) know if it is a boy or a girl! Our appointment is August 5th, so be praying for first a healthy check up and for baby hobgood to be in the perfect position to find out!
This week, baby is the size of a: naval orange!
Due date: January 17th, 2014
How far along: 15 (1/2) weeks
Next appointment: August 5th
Gender: only two more weeks from today and we will know what baby hobgood is! 99.9% its a sweet boy.
Total weight gain/loss: I checked two weeks ago at my appointment and had gained a whopping 2 pounds but I am assuming at least 5 pounds by now.
Exercise: I have so much energy as of late, I feel like I am up and moving around pretty often. Mostly walking! Planning on trying to do yoga this week...Ill let you know how that goes. ;-)
Stretch marks: None yet but I bought Burt's Momma Belly Butter this week, hoping this can be avoided.
Swelling: None
Maternity clothes: Purchased jeans and shirts this weekend. When I tried on the pants I couldn't believe how amazing they were.
Belly button: Normal
Sleep: Sleep has been seriously amazing this week. I have noticed when I sleep on my side-belly (you know the position your knee is up and you're ish on your stomach and mostly on your side?) that my stomach feels like there is a grapefruit or something in it! Also, I got a pregnancy pillow called a Bump Nest as one of my anniversary gifts from Heath...and I will have to say it is the best thing ever invented and I might sleep with it for the rest of my life.
Food cravings/aversions: Peaches and grapefruits. I also craved pizza pockets and cup of noodles during week 14, haha! Still not fond of red meat at all. During week 15, it was mostly just fruits.
Symptoms: Not much of anything, a couple of headaches and a little acne.
Movement: Not that I know of...haha! I thought I felt something this week but I don't think it was the baby...most likely hunger.
Labor signs: Nope
What I miss: Nothing really at all!
What I'm loving: Brainstorming names for baby hobgood this week! We are thinking we will want to know the name when we find out the gender so we have about a week to decide. But it has been funny to listen to my husbands suggestions/opinion on baby names. He makes me laugh all too often.
What I'm looking forward to: Mostly our gender appointment, but obviously still having an obvious bump instead of a food baby and being able to tell Heath and my family I told you so that its a boy when we find out the gender. ;-)
Best moment this week: This whole week has been great. I planted flowers, did some decorating in our backyard, had two of our good friends get married, it rained all week in Lubbock a couple weeks ago, and had friends over for the first time to the house for dinner last night!
Milestones: Baby name talk for us. And for baby, him or her can squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck their thumb! And more importantly, we had our two year anniversary! :)
