Daniel and I have decided to get a puppy before the baby gets here and before I get too, TOO pregnant ;)
We get to pick him up on Friday and we cannot wait!! <3
In preparation for the expansion of our little family (both baby and puppy), Daniel has been doing a ton of work in the yard and around the house! He has out done himself! He is such a hard worker :) I have tried to help as much as possible but I get so tired so fast and I have to take water breaks every 10-15 minutes, or so. Daniel started on the side yard earlier this past weekend and finished in the backyard planting grass seed. It looks amazing!! It's going to be even more amazing once the grass starts growing too! ;) next weekend, we're going to work on the front yard. We really wanted to get the backyard finished first because that is where the puppy will go out.
His name is Toblakai and he is 6 weeks old. He is part blue healer; part border collie. So he is extremely smart ;)
How far along?: 16 weeks and 2 day.
How big is baby?: 4.6 in - 3.5 oz. About the size of an avocado.
Morning sickness?: Felt nauseous when grocery shopping and almost passed out. Had to sit on the floor in the middle of the store...
Cravings?: Fruity pebbles, hushpuppies, and fresh, juicy fruit (mostly strawberries)
Aversions?: Some food, as soon as I start eating it, makes me nauseous.
Mood swings?: Weepy moods, yes.
Weight gain/loss?: I have officially crossed over the 100 lb threshold! :/ I am 101.0 lbs now!!
Eating?: I am having to eat less, more frequently now to reduce nausea.
Wedding ring on or off?: Still on ;)
Maternity clothes?: Nope.
Stretch marks?: No...
Sleep?: I have not been sleeping well at all! I wake up every couple of hours and have a tough time falling back asleep...
Best moment this week?: I was able to touch my stomach and feel my uterus! It was weird and cool at the same time. The dr showed me where the top of it was and told me by next month it should be parallel to my belly button.
Movement?: Nothing...can't wait to feel something hopefully soon!!
Gender?: Just 4 weeks until we find out.
Labor signs?: Nope!
Belly button - in or out?: In.
Showing?: Yes! Feeling more and more far everyday ;) and Daniel's reaction to the bump is always "oh goodness!" as if he's surprised I'm fat! ;P
Happy or moody most of the time?: Neither really. Just weepy lol! Really weepy!! I cried at bedtime on Sunday night because Daniel wasn't tired and I was exhausted and he did more work all weekend than I did! And I felt like it wasn't right for me to be so tired. I felt lazy compared to him. So I cried in bed and eventually cried myself to sleep. Poor Daniel only knew to hold me and give me comforting kisses. And let me just take a minute to be sappy and brag on him...because he really has done 150% more work than I have done in months! He washed and waxed the car. Also cleaned it inside (wiped and vacuumed). He hand-pulled all the weeds from the grass (mostly sandburs) and patched the empty spots with soil and planted grass! Seriously, those sandburs covered about 75% of our yard!! It took about 14 hours! He has a nice farmer's tan going on now ;) Daniel cleared out the side yard so we could have a nice area to plant brand new grass and give Toblakai an area where we can play fetch with him. He has done a lot of work on the Aquaponics system and it is doing great! We are so happy and excited about it! Daniel has also vacuumed and helped with cleaning the kitchen. He has also helped with the laundry and keeping the upstairs clean! Not to mention, he has continued to be wonderful to me no matter how busy, or tired, he is <3
What I miss?: Margaritas and ramen noodles.
What I am looking forward to?: Feeling movement! And, hopefully, enjoying this trimester at some point!
Milestones?: I would say my weight gain is quite the milestone...
Anything making you queasy or sick?: Only a few things...
Upcoming appointments/events?: We get to pick up our puppy on Friday! I also have an on-post "baby shower" on Friday morning.
