Clothes, Cucumbers and Cottage Cheese. OH MY!

Our little nugget is busy growing away! He/She is the size of a lemon this week and doing all sorts of crazy stuff in there! *Putting a belly picture sometime this week*

Now, onto my topics of discussion for this week….

Clothes: Holy Bologna! (Gosh, I miss bologna!) My closet has filled up FAST with maternity clothes! I put a bow around all of them because what an AMAZING gift! I am seriously so lucky to have friends who got knocked up before me and are cute dressers. Molly, Kellie and Steph have given me a ton and I bought a few little things for myself that I can wear into the Spring and post-nugget. Thanks dolls!

Cucumbers: Not to get too graphic for you dirty minds out there, but I’ve eaten 2 entire cucumbers in 2 days. BAM-cleared it! Dipping them in whipped cream cheese with some dill seasoning is my “crack of the week.” (hehe!) Also, been making cucumber sandwiches for lunch, which are helping me get over my “I miss lunch meat so bad and Chase gets to have 2 turkey sandwiches everyday and I freaking hate/love him” mood. I bought 3 more at the store last night. I’m sure next week they will make me sick, but as of now, love them like cake. Hmmmm cake….

Cottage Cheese: Oh. My. Goodness. Cottage doubles (with peaches) are another obsession of the week. *See picture somewhere* I bought 4 on Sunday thinking I would spread them out all week. HA. JOKE. I ate one after the store on Sunday, we both wanted them in our lunches Monday, and I ate the last one for my “pre-dinner snack” Monday afternoon. So, another trip to the store it is. The grocery store I went to didn’t have the exact pre-packaged “cottage doubles” so I bought 2 big containers of cottage cheese and 4 cans of peaches. Not as good…but gets the job done. *And yes, I checked the label and the cheese IS pasteurized, so don’t worry!*

 

Done with the novel, now the usual prego update:

How Far Along: 14 ½ weeks-baby the size of a lemon

Total Weight Gain: I’ll have to get back to you on that one! I’m sure it’s something now that I like food again!

Maternity Clothes: The same jeans, belly band and some shirts that I just bought in a bigger size. Breaking into what I got from the girls and very excited about looking “pregnant” and not “Oh, Sarah ate a big burrito for lunch and downed it with a 6 pack!”

Stretch Marks: Keeping my eyes out! Still very itchy so trying to “rub” instead of actually scratch and LOTS-O-LOTION on the belly!

Sleep: On a pretty good schedule besides going to the bathroom every couple of hours. (Which isn’t very different than pre-prego)

Best Moment This Week: Laughing SO MUCH at GULS Christmas with Molly, Court and Hillary. Milk for your coffee anyone?! Molly has also turned me on to Texas Multi-Mamas on WE TV. Found an amazing blog by Suz! Thanks Molls!

Miss Anything: Lunch meat, Sushi, Red Wine, Frozen Margaritas… the list could go on for days…

Movement: Nada. Hopefully within the next month or so!

Food Cravings: see above

Anything making me sick or nauseas: the smell of our hallway at work, reheated food, being over-tired or up too late

Gender: Still debating. We ask the dog and he barks at both. Go figure.

Labor Signs: None, but I wouldn’t mind an epidural for the next 6 months.

Symptoms: Still some stretching pains but nothing too bad, Sleepy (I miss my holiday naps!), I get full really fast and hungry not long after being so full-waking up around 4am and my stomach is growling!

Belly Button: In

Wedding Rings: On

Happy or Moody: Spur of the moment laughing, then crying, then just mad, circle back to laughing. This should get VERY interesting for the hubby.

Looking Forward To: Finding out the gender, modeling all of my cute maternity clothes, and an upcoming guest blog by my GUL Molly, who has a precious almost 11 month old baby girl, The K Bear.
