My Bump…My Bump, My Bump, My Bump!

(Oh come on, I had to!)

Drumroll please… Nugget was the size of an apple this week! Anxiously waiting for feeling some sort of movement. I have been “thinking” I feel something, but the lovely feeling ends up as gas. (Nothing new to our household.)

Now, onto the goods for this week….

Cottage Cheese: ( Yes, still!) Oh. My. Goodness. Tuesday afternoon for my pre-dinner snack, I sucked down a corn dog, then saw the BRAND NEW container of cottage cheese in the fridge. Of course it was lit up like an angel and everything else around it was dark. I thought, "Eh, throw a little dairy in there to balance out my corn dog." Less than 20 minutes later, I am calling the husband in to physically remove the cottage cheese from my hands. "Why?" You must be wondering….because this chick ATE HALF THE CONTAINER-then I polished it off Wednesday after school. Yup, JEALOUS?! ( love Amy Poehler in this SNL skit.)

*On a side note about my crazy snacking after school: I eat lunch at school at 10:50am and a small snack at around 1:45pm, so by the time I get home from school around 4:15ish, my tummy is ready to PAARRTTAAYYY, with the best of them…and I'm gonna go down to the river* (Please see scene from Bridesmaids. I watched it 3 times last weekend.)

The Usual Prego Update:

How Far Along: Almost 16 weeks-baby the size of an apple

Total Weight Gain: About 4 pounds (used the fancy scale in the clinic at school with some of the office staff standing right behind me-it was lovely)

Maternity Clothes: I look pregnant. Clothes are becoming my main battle in the morning because I’m not quite prego enough for some of the maternity but starting to bust out of my regular tops. Going to do some shopping soon for some shirts to wear to school, but my belly band is keeping me in all of my pre-prego pants which is awesome.

Stretch Marks: All I can say is been doing LOTS-O-LOTION on the belly!

Sleep: On a pretty good schedule besides going to the bathroom every couple of hours. (SIX times a night to be exact-and I cut off all liquid at about 7:45pm-Just call me a Golden Girl)

Best Moment This Week: This BELLY! I love putting my hands on it and asking it questions like “Do you like this song?” 

*Excuse the 16-year-old-Facebook-take-your-own-picture-in-the-bathroom-mirror, the Hubby was working late and I had to show this thing off!*

Also, ADDICTED to some blogs from a TV show on WE: Texas Multi-Mamas. I am catching up on Casey and Suz’s blogs daily. It’s my crack of the week, especially when Chase is working late.

Miss Anything: Lunch meat, Sushi, Red Wine, Frozen Margaritas

Movement: Nothing that I can feel, but hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

Food Cravings: cottage cheese, PB & J (hubby makes the best, besides my Mom of course!), random things on random days…

Anything making me sick or nauseas: the smell of our hallway at school, reheated food, the dog smell of our couch and bedroom (working on that)

Gender: It’s a boy. Or a girl.  

Labor Signs: None, but still waiting on that epidural or some giggle juice.

Symptoms: Still some stretching pains in some interesting areas, but nothing too bad. Always Sleepy. I get full really fast and now staying that way until someone could just roll me around. I feel like I have a sumo wrestling suit on after I eat.

Belly Button: In

Wedding Rings: On

Happy or Moody: Mostly happy except when the kids go crazy and I say “Don’t make me go all crazy-prego-Mrs. Gibson on y’all” and it seems to work well. *They are very good during my 2-3 restroom breaks per class period*

Looking Forward To: Guest blogs from Aunt Molly and Courty (coming up guls!) and we find out the gender FRIDAY! Ahhhh!
