Week 15!

May 16th

Baby is the size of canary this week! Baby is breathing in and out this week! Baby's face is also starting to become more human and the body is becoming more proportional. 

How's Mama?: Doing much better! I havnt been nauseous all week and am feeling less tired!!! YAY! I also lost all the weight I gained last week and didnt grow anywhere. I did finally go shopping and got some maternity clothes. Not much- but I did get some maxi skirts, a pair of maternity jeans, and a few maternity tops. We'll see how long I can keep wearing what I have before I have to buy more :D I feel like I'm starting to show more and look more pregnant and people keep telling me how great I look! (THANKS! I cover my acne well. HA!) I'm still craving sweets like mad and finally craved chicken for the first time in a few weeks. So hopefully chicken is back on the table (literally! LOL). I'm pretty sure this little one is a girl based on my acne and all the sweets I've been craving. It's ridiculous! We also had a baby appointment this week!! More on that down below!

How's Daddy?: Starting to get my symptoms! He gets hangry quick and has been craving sweets! He also booked us a sweet beach house for next week! We are SO excited to go on vacation!! Daddy also found us some baby furniture!! We decided that we really liked it and decided to get it!!! We have nursery furniture!! AH!! It's all currently in our dining room because we were not planning on finding some so fast. YAY CRAIGSLIST! We got such a great price! We have to clean out the guest room still, so it will sit until we can do that. That room has been our storage room....

Here is the house we will be staying in for a week! (yes, that is our private pool!)

and our baby furniture! (I stole these pictures once we put it in the room)

We got the crib, mattress, glider and foot rest, the amour, dresser, and a night stand! The crib will convert into a toddler bed and then a full bed, so the baby will have it until college :D I am so excited.  The furniture looks so WEIRD in there!! AHH! Also, crazy- it's the SAME crib Krystal and Josh have. ha! Both off craigslist- what are the chances?!

This Week: So this week has been pretty excited! Getting ready for the Outer Banks (I had to find a bathing suit and we bought stuff to take with us!) and buying our baby furniture! I worked really hard to clean during the week so on Saturday when we got up, we could just head out. So ready for our babymoon! 

The most exciting part of this week was our baby appointment!! We had one Friday morning! I actually had a glucose test for this one. Since my dad had diabetes, I have to do two. Thanks Dad! It actually wasnt that bad. The liquid tasted like melted orange popsicle. I could also eat a normal breakfast, so I wasnt starving. We got there and they took my blood for the test and then we got to meet with the doctor. This appointment was not going to be an ultrasound appointment, so no seeing baby, just hearing it! When the doctor came in, she pulled out the doppler and told me it might take a little bit to find the heartbeat and not to freak out. She kept looking and kept looking, I finally asked her at what point do I freak out. I tried to stay optimistic and said the baby was being stubborn like daddy :D Then the doctor started to look worried and moved me to the ultrasound room. Still trying to be positive, I was just like the baby is already a little diva and wants mommy and daddy to see her. So the exciting part was we got to have a surprise ultrasound and see baby!! The doctor found baby fast and everything was fine. The heart beat was 158 and you could see the baby moving a little!! We did learn from this that I have an anterior placenta! Just like Krystal. It made me super disappointed though because that means it will be awhile longer before I feel a kick :(. Oh well, at least we got to see baby before our trip! That was a very nice surprise!
