How far along? 12 Weeks, 0 Days
Total weight gain/loss: OMG! I went to the doctor on Tuesday and I only weigh 125 - Total weight gain 7 lbs. I'm happy with that! YAY!!!
Maternity Clothes? Still my clothes - loving my $23 gap jeans size 27. Also, Heidi told me that JCP has some colored jeans for like $13 or something? I may need to go buy those in ummm every color so I can feel like a normal human again!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: After Joey growls at me for moving her, she has been letting me cuddle her to fall asleep and WE (mini me & I) love it! Forget a maternity pillow! I recommend every pregnant woman go get yourself an 85 lb golden retriever to cuddle with! :)
Best moment this week: FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY BEING, "OUT OF THE
Have you told family and friends? See above for official announcement to the world! WE ARE PREGNANT, WORLD!
Miss Anything? Still EVERYTHING! somebody please invent n/a vodka. :)
Movement: No
Food Cravings: CANDY & POTATO CHIPS! That's right, UTZ and I are officially back together people. YAY! This baby must be my clone.
Anything making you queasy or sick? BBQ Chicken and I are still on the outs, Soup and chips are still my favorite dinner. Utz are back in. YAY.
Have you started to show yet? Ummmmm towards the end of the day I look like I have a bit of a buddha belly.
Gender prediction: Still going with girl.
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? I have been less moody this week I think - less bloating saves lives.
Weekly Wisdom: Ummm....1. if you're dying for an adult beverage drink a non-alcoholic beer. 2. Don't take your weekly photo a. in a room that is orange with no natural lighting b/c you will cry b/c you're ugly and b. in a baby doll dress creepily holding your stomach b/c you will cry more and hate all your pictures and yell at your husband b/c you're ugly and it's his fault? Ummmm yea. Third piece of advice - maybe some of you have heard of a crib list? I think you should do this. Maybe not crazy things like trips or like jumping out of aiplanes but atleast do some fun things that you take for granted and can't do when you're preg. Examples - Go out to dinner and have a nice MARTINI, maybe 2 with a DELICIOUS medium steak ...medium rare if that's your flavor. Go out the next day and enjoy brunch at your favorite brunch location and have a bloody mary with a BLT or something with sausage - OMG I miss sausage. Or have a mimosa. Or 2. Or 10? Who is counting? Not you! Then have some sushi for lunch. Yummmmmm. Then go out for drinks that night - make sure you order beers or something with vodka. Have yourself a salad with goat cheese (unpasterized) for dinner with some tuna or swordfish. Why? Why not? Who is telling you not to? *Note - during all of this please make sure you are wearing your tightest, cutest clothes possible. * You will never realize how much you miss buttoning your pants until you can't and have to wear flowy tops only designed for larger ladies wanting to cover something up. Horrible, horrible feeling. Anything else on my crib list? Ummm basically get your drinking and eating of "Bad for you foods" while you can. I want a steak, I want a burger that isn't flavorlesss, I want a drink - I don't want to get wasted...I want to enjoy a cocktail. That's all.
Looking forward to: Finding a house for us to live in so we don't have to bring Baby O home to a cardboard box, getting a bigger bump, having more energy again - Last week of 1st Trimester!!! Whoooooo
