I have been a terrible blogger again...my bad. Things are just currently crazy trying to get things ready for baby, and finish out the school year (only one week left!!). I'm so excited to be finishing things up at school, and begin living with my hubby again (I miss him lots). Baby and I are doing very well. Things have looked wonderful at my appointments. Here's a baby update:
How far along? 24 weeks, 5 days
Total weight gain/loss: still -1 pound from pre-pregnancy weight
Maternity clothes? yes!
Stretch marks? some
Sleep: depends on which of my beds i'm sleeping in. i love the bed at our apartment, b/c it's memory foam and allows me to sleep longer and more comfortably.
Best moment this week: watching my belly jump as this sweet baby moves around
Movement: tons! i'm starting to figure out her schedule so i know when she'll move the most.
Food cravings: nothing specifically, i just want to eat all of the time!
Gender: it's a GIRL
Labor Signs: none thank goodness!
Belly Button in or out? in, but after i eat i can make it pop out which really grosses chris out
Wedding rings on or off? on
What I miss: sleeping on my belly. chris promises to dig a hole in the sand at the beach so i can lay on my belly
What I am looking forward to: moving back in with chris so he can experience all of these new things with me instead of just hearing about them
Weekly Wisdom: take others' advice with a grain of salt. what was true/worked for them is not always the way to go for you
Milestones: seeing our baby girl move from the outside. she's a big kicker and loves to make my belly jump all around
I'm spending the rest of the weekend at Momma and Daddy's b/c I had to go to school on Saturday, so that's it for now. The puppies need some quality sister time :)

Baby Update
I'll try and post pictures of my ever growing belly this weekend.
How far along? 17 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: lost another 5 pounds as of last Tuesday
Maternity clothes? yes! all my non-maternity clothes are tight! on the plus side though i get to show off my belly when i wear non-maternity shirts
Stretch marks? some, but not on the belly
Sleep: it's getting much better. i loved to sleep before i was pregnant, and now i love it more than ever
Best moment this week: hearing the hearbeat at the doctor's office last tuesday
Movement: some. it's getting harder to tell if the thumps i feel are gas or baby
Food cravings: i am still in love with water with lemon, and i cannot seem to get enough vegetables. they are just way too yummy
Gender: we find out may 7! my prediction is boy and chris's is girl
Labor Signs: none thank goodness!
Belly Button in or out? in, but no one told me that it was going to do strange things like change sizes. it's a lot bigger than it used to be!
Wedding rings on or off? on
What I miss: sweet tea. i'm trying to be careful with the sugar and caffine, but very once in a while i have to have just a little :)
What I am looking forward to: chris being able to feel the baby move
Weekly Wisdom: enjoy every second of everything (even the puking) because it will all be over so soon
Milestones: my body is stretching and preparing for this baby. i've been so achy thanks to all of this round ligament pain

Happy Easter!
We have been busy so far this weekend trying to see everyone. All we can keep thinking about is how different next year will be :) We're so excited! We spent Friday afternoon, evening, and Saturday morning in Chapel Hill with Chris's family, and we're spending the rest of the weekend in Lexington hanging out with my family (some we haven't seen in a long time). I'm very excited also because Spring Break has started, and I get to spend an entire week hanging out with my husband :)
As far as the pregnancy, things are moving right along! My belly has started popping out major! Chris was shocked when he saw me on Friday. I'll try and post some pictures soon. I'm still getting sick some, but I'm having good days, so that makes things easier :) We go back to the doctor on Tuesday for blood tests to make sure everything's is moving along like we think it is. I cannot wait to hear my baby's heartbeat again!!

Update
I've been terrible about updating regularly. School has been overwhelming lately and our weekends have been busy actually getting to spend time together :) I found this cool survey thing that I wanted to share to update about the little one
How far along? 15 weeks, 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: lost 1 lb at the last doctor appointment in march but it was probably really more then that
Maternity clothes? some...the pants are just more comfortable so they are becoming a staple in my wardrobe. even though i've lost weight, it has moved to the belly area
Stretch marks? some, but not on the belly
Sleep: i miss it. it's been hard to find a position that i'm comfortable in where my back doesn't hurt and my hip bones aren't digging into the mattress
Best moment this week: listening to chris talk to the baby at night. it's become a ritual that i lay the phone on my belly and he talks with the baby. it's the sweetest thing ever!
Movement: none since march 18 and that was the coolest thing ever
Food cravings: i had a major craving for taco bell that was satisfied last night :) i have been obsessed with water with lemon!
Gender: we find out in may :) i keep having dreams about boys and chris had one last night about a girl
Labor Signs: none thank goodness!
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
What I miss: sleeping on my belly!
What I am looking forward to: going back to the doctor next week to hear the little one :)
Weekly Wisdom: take it easy and really start taking care of yourself
Milestones: the baby can hear now so we're making a point of talking and singing to the baby

The coolest thing happened today...
I was sitting at the dentist office getting my teeth cleaned, and I had this really strange feeling in my tummy. It felt like a little flutter, and it kept happening. I finally realized that I WAS FEELING MY BABY!!! I almost jumped out of the chair! The poor lady cleaning my teeth was looking at me like I was crazy, but I explained and she realized the reason for my sudden excitement. It was the strangest feeling ever.
I forgot to up date after the doctor appointment last week, but all is well. We were able to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler, and that was pretty neat. No new ultrasounds, but we did find out that at our May appointment we will find out if it's a boy or a girl. I am definitely starting to "look" pregnant. I don't have a huge belly or anything, but there's a bump there that wasn't there before.
We cannot wait to see our baby again, and now I can't wait for Chris to be able to feel it move. This is the greatest experience ever, and we can't wait to meet our little one!

March 10
We think about you every day Brandon. It doesn't hurt as bad as it used to, but we still miss you something terrible. We wish so bad you were here to celebrate with us that we're having a baby :) We were talking about that the other day about how excited you'd be. I hope you had a wonderful birthday in heaven. We love you!

Spring Fever
This weekend has been absolutely fantastic :) The weather has been wonderful, and seeing Chris is always fantastic. I'm getting ahead of myself though....I'll recap the week:
The weeks seem to drag on forever, but this week was a little different. The baby received it's first baby gift on Monday morning thanks to Mrs. Gantos. She had a sweet little rattle laying on my desk when I got in. We had some winter weather during the middle of the week, which had school canceled on Wednesday. I exercised my option to not work that day and enjoyed laying around and working on school work. It was finally Friday, and I got to leave to see Chris! That's my favorite thing to do!
We were both feeling yucky this weekend, but the beautiful weather and our busy schedules forced us to power through. Chris had to work on Saturday, but I came to his rescue with McDonald's for lunch :) Sunday we slept late, looked for cars, ate a wonderful lunch, and bought some new clothes that we both really needed. It was a fantastic day!
We are looking forward to next week, we have another doctor's appointment on Friday :) We are hoping that they do another ultrasound, because we cannot wait to see our baby. We have been reading old wives tales to try and predict if it's a boy or a girl, but we have no real evidence either way. I guess we'll just have to keep waiting.
