It is crazy how fast all of this has been going. One minute there are pregnancy tests and telling people, but feeling nothing. Now my tummy is starting to look like i've eaten one to many cheeseburgers (I can't blame the mass quantities of pickles, and really can't blame cheeseburgers....heck, what HAVE I been eating??)
Before we start - I HAD to share some AWE moments! Cause ya'll know seeing baby things makes everyone awe!! This baby is already getting spoiled!
(Our first baby gifts - One of my preschool mommies got us at Christmas)
**From my Aunt Checka and Uncle Rick!! The blankie and hat were made with my Babu's yard - Big AWE!**
** From Grandma Reiber/Nana/Mama Reiber (She still needs to decide what she wants to be called)**
Ok, enough cute presents....
This week we had two doctors appointments. One was to discuss results of our genetic testing, and to get a more fancy dancy ultrasound (Thank you Susan!!). I really didn't know what to expect considering the last picture looked like a little (precious) lima bean, but WOW....
what a difference a month makes....
Of course my husband who is still learning patience offered a "monetary donation" to our ultrasound tech if by chance she could see if its a boy or girl. HAHA!! But just a few short weeks and we shall know!
I found this really cute preggo blog (littlebabygarvin.blogspot.com) on Pinterest (what haven't I found on there) and LOVED her idea on how to document this journey. I even "borrowed" her chalkboard idea. Basically you get an old frame with a strong back - paint it with chalkboard paint and poof - instant board. So for $4 for the frame and some spraypaint - I have a board!!!

| Just a lil pooch! |
I not only loved her belly pic idea but she also posts answers to some questions everyone asks, so here I go with my first round of Q&A!
How far along? 13 weeks today! YAY
Total weight gain: I think maybe a pound or two (whose counting??)
Maternity clothes? Yoga pants are VERY comfy!
Stretch marks? Do old ones count :)
Sleep: Well I did something to my back and its been causing me some major pain, but thanks to
Mrs Boslar and her donation of a Body Pillow its been better
(and the massage and acupuncture helped).
Best moment this week: getting to see the newest picture of Peanut and seeing
a total baby's face. It was indescribable.
Miss Anything? With Superbowl and Birthdays - I missed having a beer, or even a Coke!!
Drinking water out of a keg cup just wasn't the same.
Movement: Not yet - though this lil pooch seems to be growing!
Food cravings: My love affair with Hamburger Dill Slices has calmed down a bit.
Though I was highly impressed at my consumption of a foot long veggie sub.
Anyone that knows me knows my "bird like" eating habits, so to polish that off was impressive...
at least to me!!!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope! Thank you God!
Gender: I really don't have much of a feeling towards one or the other,
though Sean's constant "feeling its a Boy" is always stuck in my head!!
Labor Signs: Lets hope not - TOOOOOO early!
Symptoms: I feel like my energy is finally returning (Thank you God again).
Its been tough being SO tired, but i'm thankful that its only been that and nothing much else!
Belly Button in or out? In :) When doest that change??????
Wedding rings on or off? On - though its very loose....I know that won't be the case forever!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Overjoyed is more like it :)
Looking forward to: watching my tummy turn into a preggo belly....
and finding out what Baby Taggart will be!
