8 Weeks

How far along? 8 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 0
Maternity clothes? Still wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes. I got out my belly band to help cause buttoning my pants is getting uncomfortable.
Belly Measurement: 32 inches (I decided to add this at 8 wks 1 day because I thought it would be fun to know the progress of my expanding waistline.)
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I'm still so exhausted all the time! After luch at work is the worst time.  I feel like I could pass out.
Best moment this week:  Liam is finally cutting his first teeth! Both botom teeth are coming in at the same time so he is not feeling well at all.  I really hate seeing him so uncomfortable but it's been really nice to have such a cuddly lil' guy right now. I'm enjoying lounging in bed with him so I can get some rest too.
Miss Anything? Mmm, a margarita sounds good.
Movement: No
Food cravings: Not really anything at the moment. I'm feeling pretty queasy so food is losing its appeal quickly. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Food...
Have you started to show yet: I feel like my belly is hanging out more.
Gender prediction: I'm still leaning towards boy but the minute I start lookng at girl clothes I change my mind.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: I've been super nauseaous.  It seems to really kick in about 2 hours after I've been awake and hangs around until at least noon.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Weekly Wisdom:  Even though you still don't feel all that pregnant, take some time enjoy what's happening!  And stop worrying!
Looking forward to: Still our appointment.  1 week and 3 days away.

6 Weeks

How far along? 6 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 0
Maternity clothes? Still wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes but have been stocking up on some maternity clothes already.  Target.com has long sleeve maternity tees for $5 right now so I had to buy a few.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: I made myself a big maternity sleep pillow which is amazing! So much easier to get comfy at night now.

Movement: No
Food cravings: Any kind of really well made sandwiches. Italian, Ham, Turkey and Avocado....
Anything making you queasy or sick: Red Meat is starting to look wierd again
Have you started to show yet: The bloated belly is showing up a little more frequently
Gender prediction: I'm leaning a little more towards Boy this week.  Shawn is still convinced it's a Girl.  The newest gender predictor I tested was the "V in your eye" test. If the blood vessels in your right eye make a V it's a boy, left side it's a Girl. For me I get a boy with this one.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: The super smelling sense is here.  The things that I can sniff out on are crazy! Bad breath and unclean clothes, just to name a few.
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Weekly Wisdom: Enjoy the break from morning sickness.
Looking forward to: Feeling more pregnant. (I'm gonna curse myself for saying that!)

Surprise!

I decided to start this blog after we got an amazing surprise on July 4th. We are expecting Baby #2!  I wanted a way to keep track of this awesome journey we are on.  I'll be adding weekly bump photos to document this baby. 

 It was so fun to get Liam involved in our announcement.  I made his shirt with iron on transfer sheets. I printed the words on the trasfer paper and ironed it on a white tee.  Here was our Facebook announcement.

My estimated due date is March 10, 2013.  I have my first OB appointment August 9th and we will get the first picture of our lil' bean.
