Something fun/horrifying to do

Soooo incase you're like me and just DYING to know what your future kids will look like there is a website that will show you. All you need is a head shot of you, your partner, and some time to kill.

Go here - www.morphthing.com and let the fun begin!

Before going, please take a minute and reflect on what Ron and I's kids are going to look like:

Aren't they beeeeautiful??? Which one is your favorite? 

...Consider yourself warned! 

10 Weeks - 2 more weeks until we announce!

How far along? 10 Weeks, 0 Days
Total weight gain/loss: 5 lbs last Friday - YIKES! I'm actually feeling less FAT this week than last week so I will take that! :)
Maternity Clothes? Still in my clothes but with a belly band over my unbuttoned pants. I have already cried 3 times over pants. Atleast I got to wear a dress yesterday and today! WHOOOO
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleeping better now, trying to take my vitamins before 8:00pm has really helped!
Best moment this week: Converting to gummy calcium & fish oil vitamins AND seeing PENDING on redfin for our house!!!!!!!!!! Only took 4 1/2 months!
Have you told family and friends? Family - Yes. Friends - Most! Best reaction - Dana dropping her phone and spilling beer on it. Hahahahaha
Miss Anything? Should say, "Anything you don't miss?" Martinis, Beer, Coffee, Bloody Marys, Buttoning my pants, wearing my dresses, pepperoni pizza...FBBT was REALLY hard - could literally smell beer on EVERYBODY's breath. :(
Movement: No
Food Cravings: Not really this week. I am definitely going through Krista's phase of hating food at dinner time. I only want soup and chips basically. Thought I was going to kill Ron lastnight when I found out he threw out the wonton soup and I had to eat spaghetti GROSS! Another side note - Pumpkin pancakes = Heaven (but that is not preg related...my love has just intensified).
Anything making you queasy or sick? parm cheese (but that is always), the smell of doritos, utz except for carolina style bbq, bbq chicken, and apparently just dinner in general except for carolina style chips with some soup.
Have you started to show yet? Currently just look fat, can't button my pants. I think I look less fat this week so YAY
Gender prediction: I think girl based on all the "tests" I took last week.
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? MOODY! I truly believe if I didn't have to wear pants I would be in a MUCH better mood!
Weekly Wisdom: Gummy vitamins are a god send. Pants are the devil. Oh, and NEVER go by the, "if I haven't worn this in a year, get rid of it" rule. I'm currently wearing a dress I haven't worn in 3 years and I'm sooooo comfy in it. :)
Looking forward to: Getting a bigger bump, officially announcing to the world, finding out the gender, decorating the nursery in OUR NEW HOUSE!, warmer weather so I don't have to wear pants. RAWR

9 Weeks - Pants are the Devil!

How far along? 9 Weeks, 0 Days
Total weight gain/loss: I don't know - I'm guessing +5 lbs? I'll find out tomorrow at the doctor.
Maternity Clothes? Still in my clothes but with a belly band over my unbuttoned pants. I have already cried 3 times over pants. It's 16 degrees out today so dresses are not an option. Waaaah
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: 3:00pm naps should be law. Sooooo sleepy from 3:00-4:00. Probably from waking up every hour to pee at night.
Best moment this week: Any opportunity to have yoga pants on and sit on the couch.
Have you told family and friends? Family - Yes. Friends - Some. Ooops!
Miss Anything? Should say, "Anything you don't miss?" Martinis, Beer, Coffee, Buttoning my pants, pepperoni pizza,
Movement: No
Food Cravings: Since I didn't do this previously - like 2 weeks ago it was fudgesicles. Now coffee ice cream with hot fudge, clementines, apples, salads, chipotle, & guacamole.
Anything making you queasy or sick? parm cheese (but that is always), the smell of doritos, utz except for carolina style bbq, bbq chicken, and apparently just dinner in general except for some soup or salad followed by a bowl of ice cream. Oh and this week's latest addition - bacon. WHY???
Have you started to show yet? Currently just look fat, can't button my pants. If you catch me in the morning I would still look like a thicker version of me with a larger chest.
Gender prediction: Not sure yet. Ron says girl b/c, "Only 2 women can be THAT crazy"
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time? hahahaha see above! MOODY! I truly believe if I didn't have to wear pants I would be in a MUCH better mood.
Weekly Wisdom: Next time start in warmer weather - I HATE PANTS!
Looking forward to: Getting a bigger bump, officially announcing to the world, & finding out the gender!(Sorry mom) OH! And warmer weather so I don't have to wear pants. RAWR

Old Wives Tales

Ok so I hate surprises. Absolutely hate them. As soon as I'm notified of a potential surprise - gift, event, whatever I go into detective mode. I can't explain it, I just like to be in the know. You know that episode of Friends where Rachel and Phoebe search the apartment for their Christmas presents from Monica? YEA, that's ME!

That being said, I am DYING to know what little baby O is. 20 weeks? I have to wait 20 weeks? And my mom wants me to wait until the end?? Hahahaha I don't think so! Are you CRAZY? No yellow or green for this little stinker! PINK OR BLUE with MONOGRAMS!!! If this is a little girl you are going to think that Lilly Pulitzer threw up on her. *Green is allowed with pink* So anyway, since I have to wait and wait and WAIT for an eternity to find out who is inside of me I decided to check out the old wives tales that may give us an inkling who is kickin it in my belly. Oh and by the way - ALL of these tests told my mom that I was going to be a boy.

So here are our 9 Week Gender Predictions: 

1. Ask the heart rate at the doctor's appointment - if it is above 140 girl, below - boy
• Heart Rate @ Today's Appointment was - Couldn't find it today. :( Tune in next month.
2. If you're craving sweets - girl, salty and sour foods - boy
• Can't seem to eat enough ice cream, chocolate and fruit - That's (1) for girl
3. If your skin is breaking out - girl...apparently girls steal their mom's beauty
• My skin is ALWAYS breaking out - That's (1) for girl
4. Morning sickness - girl
• I've felt ok so far (fingers crossed this continues) - That's (1) for boy
5. Take off your wedding ring and tie it to a string. Hang it over your belly. If it swings in a circle - boy, if it swings back and forth - girl.
• Haven't done this yet. 
6. Put baking soda in a cup and then pee in it. If it fizzes - boy, no fizz - girl.
• No Fizzing - That's (1) for girl. 
7. Have someone place a key in front of you. If you pick it up by the narrow side - girl, if you pick it up by the fat end - boy.
• Didn't do this yet either. 
8. The Mayan Calendar says to take the mother's age at conception (28) and the year of conception (2012). If both are even or odd - girl, if one is even and one odd - boy.
• That's (1) for girl.
9. Use the Chinese gender prediction calendar here
• That's (1) for girl. 

Totals: Girl - 5; Boy - 1

1 extra point for girl from Ron's comment, "Only 2 women can be THAT crazy"

Prediction - Mini Melissa?
