I am going to staty doing a pregnancy update every 4 weeks. Let everyone know how we are doing and I will post a pic of my soon to be ever growing belly. I took the idea from my friend Kayla who is due in June, so thank you Kayla!
How far along? 4 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: 0lbs. I am only 4 weeks.
Maternity clothes? Not yet but very excited to be to that point.
Stretch marks? Unfortunately if you are going to get stretchmarks there is nothing you can do to prevent them, but you can make them not be as bad. I got them with Ethan so the ones I have will be ugly and I am sure new ones will arrive. A little plastic surgery will take care of all of that when this is done :)
Sleep: Super sleepy but have way too much to do to take naps. Sleeping great at night though.
Best moment this week: Telling Mike we are pregnant. His immediate reaction and the following days was perfect. He is perfect!
Movement: Too soon for that but I am excited for when it happens.
Cravings: Nothing, just eating everything in sight. I am a bottomless pit and it is super annoying.
Gender: We are hoping for a boy but of course just want a healthy baby.
Labor Signs: N/A
Belly Button in or out: No changes to the belly yet, so in.
What I miss: This is terrible to say but I miss alcohol & coffee. I would much rather have a healthy baby though so I am not missing it that much.
What I am looking forward to: Making it through the next 8 weeks.
How is Dad: Still in shock but so excited. It blows his mind that I am pregnant and having real pregnancy symptoms.
How is Big Brother: Ethan doesn't understand yet but will by the time his little brother or sister arrives. He loves babies so I know he will be an awesome big brother.
Milestones: Telling Mike & our families we are pregnant!
Thoughts: It is very exciting for me to join my friends in pregnancy world. There are so many that are pregnant and it is going to be so fun to share this with them. I am really loving the fact that my sister & I are 6 months apart so our kiddos will be close in age.
