Life is Peachy

After 13 (well, a little less than that) LONG weeks of keeping quiet...we are excited to announce Baby Gibson is on the way! Our little "nugget" will be here in early July, right around my birthday! Chase said that will be an expensive holiday, but we are worth it. (Duh.)

I'm not on Facebook, and after keeping up with some good "mommy" blogs through Pinterest, I decided to give it a try.

So far, so good.

Now for the prego update....

How far along: 13 weeks (baby the size of a PEACH)
Total Weight Gain: Nothing yet! Hehe, I know! BUT, I was SO SO SO SICK my 5th week up until literally last night, so food has not been my friend. A lot of plain bread, Sprite, Ginger Ale, Seltzer, Soda Water, and lemonade.
Maternity Clothes: A pair of jeans (thanks Steph and Zela!), and my belly band.
Stretch Marks: Not yet but itchy as all get out....thought I had one and sent the hubby down to look. That ended with a bump on each of our heads. Not the best timing.
Sleep: It's all I want to do besides pee and drink Sprite while watching Lifetime.
Best Moment this Week: Hearing the heartbeat again and seeing my growing belly! Also, NO hangover on New Year's Day, even though I spent it in bed watching 2 Lifetime movies and a Designing Women marathon.
Miss Anything: lunch meat (cold!), Red Wine (which I hated before nugget came along!) and scheduling my meals whenever I want. Now they are scheduled around my nausea meds.
Movement: I can't feel anything yet, but while they were doing my Ultrasound for the heartbeat, nugget gave a litte kick!
Food Cravings: Cold fruit, Chocolate Milk, Cereal
Anything making me sick or nauseas: Pretty much everything...giving Nugget pep talks everyday that it's about time to be over it, but does Nugget listen? Nope. Preview of what's to come.
Gender: We find out January 27th. Everyone says boy. Or girl. I'm down with either!
Labor Signs: Nope...got some baking to do before then ;)
Symptoms: Some stretching pains in my belly, constant trips to the bathroom (which I did pre-prego anyway), nausea (mostly at night now), and I AM TIRED ALL THE TIME.
Belly Button: still in (pre-preggers)
Wedding Rings: still on
Happy or Moody: Seriously, changes within a second. But then I remind myself I am cooking a Nugget in there and it melts my heart, so happy until more nausea comes my way.
Looking Forward To: January 27th so Mama can start SHOPPING.
