13 weeks to go...

Excuse the repeat board, with minor changes of course. I was on my way out (running late as usual) when Studly casually mentioned how pretty I looked. Made my little heart melt. I decided I must capture the cuteness before leaving which meant little time to redo the beloved board. I say cute outfit outranks the board this time around. I was so excited Florida finally decided to jump on the "cold weather" bandwagon. I got to wear boots 2 days in a row, probably shouldn't have worn them today but I play by my own rules with this crazy, unpredictable weather. I really need to live somewhere cooler. I adore sweaters and boots far too much for a Florida girl. Funny thing is, the sweater I'm wearing in this picture, I used to wear as a dress. Can't do that anymore with that belly and booty!

How far along? 26 weeks 5 days (in the picture, which was taken yesterday)

Total weight gain/loss: 20 lbs

Maternity clothes? My Mommy spoiled me with some cute leggings so I can stay away from the dreaded maternity pants. But I'm pleased the say the pants in this picture are still my regular pants. Woop woop!

Stretch marks? Nope!

Sleep: Not too shabby lately

 Best moment this week: Studly got home late from work and laid down with us. He rubbed my belly but no kicking from Mr. Landon was felt so he decided to give him a little poke and say "Hey you, wake up!" and a second later his hand got the biggest and strongest kick/punch I have yet to feel. I'm pretty sure he was saying 'Hey Papa, let a kid sleep will ya!"  Studly's surprised reaction was my favorite.

Miss Anything? I really wanted a sub this week. Stupid deli meat craving!

Movement: Every day. All day.

Food cravings: Publix or Jack's Sub Shack yummy ultimate sub

Anything making you queasy or sick: Well last week I decided to stop the nausea meds but unfortunately I only made it 3 days before I felt miserable again. Soooo I continue the 1 a day pill popping.

Have you started to show yet: I'm all about that bump <3

Gender prediction: Love my little boy <3

Labor Signs: No thank you.

Belly Button in or out? I guess it's pretty much out

Wedding rings on or off? ON!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy is the way to go

Looking forward to: Holy moly, John and Lindsay getting here next Tuesday! And then Turkey Day and then BABY SHOWER! The next 2 weeks are gonna be AWESOME!!!

Until next time...

Selfie sabotage....

Well...I attempted a selfie...more like a 10 second timer selfie and it's not the greatest. But you know what, desperate times call for desperate measures! Studly is stuck at work till who knows when and tomorrow I work which means the weekly picture had to be done today. Normal pictures shall resume next week. We can't always be awesome ;-)

How far along? 25 weeks 5 days

Total weight gain/loss: According to the doctor's office...20 lbs!!! (103 to 123)

Maternity clothes? Are the death of me. I tried on approximately 15 pairs of maternity pants (ok, maybe like 6) and they were AWFUL! Thankfully I found ONE single pair that looked cute. Whoever designs those things sucks at their job. Little people need options too. I'm so sorry the only thing growing is my belly and my chicken legs still fit into skinny jeans. And that's the end of my rant.

Stretch marks? Still holding on to hope of not getting these suckers

Sleep: Getting better, minus last night. BUT tonight I get to test out my brand new belly pillow so hopefully it works wonders.

 Best moment this week: One of my very best friends announcing her pregnancy!!! I can't wait for Landon to meet his future best friend and/or girlfriend! So so excited for you Jenna Bug & Brian!!!

Miss Anything? The days of no reflux

Symptoms: The last week I have officially discovered what reflux/heart burn feels like and let me tell ya- I HATE IT! I have decided that Landon will be tormenting me during the entire pregnancy and then when he makes his arrival he will become a sweet angel boy. Anyone who says otherwise can suck it. ;-)

Movement: He's a mover & shaker

Food cravings: Eh, not really. When am I gonna have these crazy craving you hear about where I wake up Dennis in the middle of the night and make him go on a hunt to find it. I need some good stories out of this pregnancy!

Anything making you queasy or sick: I've been pretty good lately. Today is day 2 of no nausea meds...lets see if it lasts!

Have you started to show yet: He's still tiny but he's definitely there.

Gender prediction: BOY oh BOY!

Labor Signs: Zero. Zip. Nada.

Belly Button in or out? half innie half outie?

Wedding rings on or off? ON!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy

Looking forward to: THANKSGIVING WITH MY BROTHER AND LINDSAY!!! It's only 2 weeks aways!!!!

Keeping this on the shorter side because I'm too lazy to think of anything else to write.

Until next time...

Birds flying high...you know how I feel....

Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good

How far along? 24 weeks 5 days

Total weight gain/loss: 18.6 lbs (103 to 121.6)

Maternity clothes? Seeing as how I only have ONE pair of pants that fit me now, I think I'll need to invest in some STAT!

Stretch marks? Still going strong without any

Sleep: AWESOME this week

 Best moment this week: Having 5 whole days of feeling FAN-freakin-TASTIC!!! After feeling like crap for 5.5 months this was...heaven sent. Lets hope it continues!!!

Miss Anything? Too many people talked to me about sangria this week so I still miss that....tremendously

Movement: TONS! But never when people rub my belly in hopes of feeling little man. He likes to play games.

Food cravings: Yesterday on my way to work the only thing I wanted was pound cake, cool whip, and strawberries. Mmmm still sounds delish!

Anything making you queasy or sick: I took a bite of baked potato and it had sour cream on it (even though I said butter only) and I almost threw up in my mouth. BUT that would happen regardless of pregnancy.

Have you started to show yet: I officially need to retire my old scrubs, so yes.

Gender prediction: Baby BOY!

Labor Signs: No thanks!

Belly Button in or out? Almost out....

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: One month till BABY SHOWER!!!!
