Week 14

Wow 14 weeks of being preggo. The time is flying by. New updates. Morning sickness is over with and has been for a few weeks. Now I have entered the stage of eternal hunger. I never new I could be so hungry all of the time. The good thing is I haven't put on a ton of weight I have actually only gained 4 lbs which I am told is a good amount to be at right now. But this hunger where did it come from. I just woke up one day and wanted to eat everything all the time. Work is becoming difficult. I have to pack so much food to be at the hospital for 12 hours and I burn so much energy I never seem to pack enough and I'm starving before I get home. Just something I have to get use to. Our little baby Whitley is growing everyday. I can definitely feel my uterus now which is quite odd. I can't wait to start feeling the little one inside!

This week Baby Whitley is the size of a lemon!

The little one is over 3 inches and sucking his/her thumb! We find out in just 5 weeks if we are having a boy or a girl...I can't hardly wait!!!!

I Wanna Go Fast!

That was the motto for today as Daddy drove at Lowe's Motor Speedway. We had such a great time watching him and he had a blast driving. Here are some pics from the day.

Mom & Daddy on the way to Lowe'sDaddy all suited up and ready to be 1st!

Here he is in the passenger seat. He did a ride a long where he got to ride 3 laps in the car before driving. Daddy getting into the car.

Ready to race!!
Daddy Racing!!

13 Weeks

2nd Trimester has arrived! I love being pregnant!! I have not been sick in over 2 weeks and I'm feeling great. I have so been looking forward to this cooler weather so I can dress in layers. Well little did I know that it would already be time to buy new clothes. The other day I tried on 3 yes 3 shirts before finding one that actually covered my belly. Sure pre-pregnancy me wore my clothes pretty snug so this little bump I have has no room. I decided not to go crazy with new clothes just yet because I know I will get much larger. I found some comfy long sleeved t-shirts at Old Navy for just $8 dollars and the are plenty long enough!

Baby Whitley this week is the size of a Peach!

So I have been reading my books and this week Baby Whitley can start to hear. So I guess I'm going to have an audience when I jam out on my car ride home from work;-)

Week 12

Last week of the first trimester! Wow! I can't believe I am 3 months preggo!! As of now I am feeling great. I haven't gotten sick in a week woo hoo. I do have more energy. I am showing :-) Willis and I are so very excited. We still use the dopplar to hear our little one's heart beat which is just music to my ear and definitely brightens up any day. I have noticed that my hormones are RAGING! Especially when I'm tired or hungry haha it's like I am a toddler. I have started to lose my patience at work. It's difficult being pulled in a million directions for 12 hours straight. For some reason my patients don't seem to understand that I am pregnant and I would like to manage to get through a lunch break without one of them falling on the floor, one of them coding or their crazy family members calling me non stop... who's great idea was it to give nurses phones anyway?! Well enough of my complaining for the evening. I do have great support at work and all of my coworkers are stepping in to help out with lifting heavy patients and diffusing situations when I am at my wits end. On a brighter note here are some stats for baby Whitley this week:

Baby Whitley is now the size of a plum!

I was off work today and decided to use the time to finish cleaning out the nursery. Willis had moved all the major furniture earlier and a couple of weeks ago I went through some more things. So today there wasn't much left. I must say I got a little carried away when I realized that it could all be finished today. So here is the nursery! Our blank canvas. So we are ready whenever we actually start buying things!

(The curtains are not staying I just couldn't get them down myself) Can't wait to start filling up the room!!

Muse and U2!

We were most excited to get to see Muse and U2 in concert Tuesday night. Muse is one of my favorite new bands and after seeing them live I think they are more amazing. U2 rocked it out of course. Such a LOUD concert in the Georgia Dome. I didn't take my camera in so you will just have to look at the pics from my iphone.

11 Week update

Today we are 11 weeks preggo!!! Can't believe I've been preggo for almost 3 months...wow! We had a first "real" OB appointment today with the doctor. It went great. He said everything is looking great and like it's suppose to. And we got to hear the baby's heartbeat! I know we've been listening at home with Friddle's dopplar but it was nice for the doctor to point out the heartbeat :-) If that wasn't exciting enough for week 11 Willis and I are on a way to Atlanta to see Muse and U2!! Baby's first concert yay! I hope the baby comes out rockin!!!

It's official...

Okay so I have been taking weekly pictures since we found out we are expecting at 4 weeks. And the baby bump has arrived! I made it official with a belly band and all. Woo Hoo! At least now I can wear my jeans without unbuttoning them ever time I sit down hahaha. Next on my list is a pregnancy pillow. I am definately a stomach sleeper and those days are over for right now and I am having the most difficult time finding a comfortable position. If you know of a good pillow let me know!!!
