Bad Puppy Parents

In my last post I mentioned how this week has been really crappy... thats putting it nicely. To top it all off somehow Kona got locked in the loft the night before last, and Jason freaked out in the morning because he couldn't find him. Then, last night Jason was bbq'ing and when he was done I closed the patio door and shut the curtains. An hour later we couldn't find Kona again, and sure enough, my poor puppy was sitting on the balcony in the dark.... At least it was warm out. I feel like such a horrible puppy parent!!! ugh.

Week 19 belly shot

A couple days late... Oh well. This has been a super crappy week, and I'm surprised this is getting posted at all!

Week 19

Yesterday was super busy so I'm just now posting the weekly update-

About baby this week:
This week the baby is the size of a mango! About 6 inches long and 8.5 ounces! His or her arms and legs are the right proportion to the rest of the body, and his or her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch.
About me this week:
I'm still feeling good! The baby is kicking harder and harder every day, and it's been fun having Jason feel it! My hips have started hurting when I sleep, but hopefully that doesn't have to do with the pregnancy and will go away soon.

We got the rest of the nursery furniture yesterday!! A couple of the pieces need to be put together, so I will get a picture once its done. We still have a lot to do on the nursery, but its a good start!! Now if we only knew if we were having a boy or girl...6 days to go!!!

Along with getting the nursery furniture, we got the peg perego stroller we wanted, our graco snugride 32 infant seat, and infant seat stroller frame this week from Jason's parents!! Thank you guys sooooo much!! You don't even know how much that helped us. Now if only we had the baby to put in all this fun stuff!

How far along: 19 weeks. Almost halfway there!
Total weight gain/loss: +3 lbs.
Maternity clothes: yup, everything!
Stretch marks: None yet, keeping my fingers crossed I don't get any!
Sleep: Not great the past few days, hopefully it gets better soon.
Best moment this week: Getting my nursery furniture delivered
Movement: All the time!
Food cravings: none really
Food aversions: none
Gender: We will find out for sure on Monday:-)
Belly Button in or out: Innie
What I miss: Being able to have a drink when I get home from work
What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery furniture delivered this weekend

I'm really behind... belly shot to come...

Baby kicked Jason!

Jason felt the baby kick for the first time last night! We were getting ready for bed and the baby was kicking up a storm, so he came over and put his hand on my belly and sure enough, he or she kicked daddy! Yay!!

A day late again, but here is the weekly belly shot:-)

Week 18

Its Monday again, so time for the weekly update! We're 18 weeks today! The baby is the size of a sweet potato, about 5.5 inches long and almost 7 ounces! wow! The baby is passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing, and I believe it, because the little kicks I have been feeling have been getting stronger and stronger! His or her ears are now in their final position now too! As for me, I'm feeling great! I love feeling the baby kick.... It's great to have that reassurance that the baby is ok!

How far along: 18 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: +2 lbs... Yes I am eating. A ton actually.
Maternity clothes: Basically everything, except a few things that were really big on me to begin with.
Stretch marks: Still none... Come on good genes and palmers lotion, do the trick!!
Sleep: Good! Still getting used to sleeping on my left side though. Jason was nice enough to switch sides of the bed and that made a world of difference!! Thanks sweetie!!!
Best moment this week: Feeling peanut kick for the first time last Tuesday! Best feeling in the world.
Movement: Every day! Little one is kicking me right now:-)
Food cravings: chocolate and cupcakes
Food aversions: none
Gender: Thinking pink... Don't know yet for sure.
Labor Signs: Please not anytime soon-
Belly Button in or out: Innie
What I miss: Being able to go in the ocean with Jason. I'm to afraid to go in past my thighs because I don't want to get knocked over accidentally and hurt the baby.
What I am looking forward to: Getting the nursery furniture delivered! Probably not this week, but one can hope!

Best Beach-day in California

Yesterday was easily the best beach-day in California I've ever had: I got new fins, the waves were huge, and the water was actually warm!
