Gender Reveal Party
Today is our gender reveal party! Our family is coming this afternoon to find out if Baby Konesheck is a boy or girl....stayed tuned to see!
19 Week Update
April 18, 2013
How far along? 19 Weeks....this week we find out if Baby Konesheck is a boy or girl!
Total weight gain/loss: +1.4 I like the Dr.'s scale =)
Sleep: I am sleeping good, but I have been waking up about 2-3 times a night. Luckily I have been able to roll over and fall back asleep quickly.
Best moment this week: we had out anatomy scan, so it was a 30 minute ultrasound. It was really neat to see how much the baby has grown since 12 weeks. The ultrasound is so detailed. We also got to find out the gender.
Cravings: I want to have something to drink all the time. I drink TONS of water, have a coke every now and then, drink milk with dinner, juice with breakfast...all I do is drink! I know I'm not dehydrated, but I always want to have something to drink. Weird...
Movement: I've started to notice the baby moves the most around 5pm and when I lay down at night. I guess it sleeps all day.
Food cravings: this has been a rough week eating wise. Nothing sounds good and I really haven't eaten dinner this week.
Have you started to show yet? Yes and I love it! I'm in that good stage right now where I look pregnant but not huge yet.
Gender prediction: We know what the baby is!! Everyone will have to wait until Saturday, April 22nd to find out. We will tell our family this day.
Wedding rings: they have actually been loose this week. I think this is from all the water I've been drinking.
Mood: I've been in a good mood, but I am getting worn out at work. Not necessarily tired, but just worn out from the stress of STAAR. I will be glad to have that behind me after next week.
Looking forward to: Sharing with everyone what the baby's gender. We are ready to let everyone know.
Anything Else??? Here's a profile pic of our little baby. The baby now weighs 1/2 a pound! It's right where it should be, but that is crazy for me to think about!

18 Week Update
I am finally posting all the updates I have been keeping since we found out we were pregnant on New Year's Eve. If you want to read from the beginning, scroll down to the post titled "Welcoming 2013 with Open Arms".
April 11, 2013
How far along? 18 weeks, I feel like this is a big milestone for some reason.
Total weight gain/loss: About 2 pounds. We will see what the doctors scale says next week.
Sleep: I am sleeping good, but I have been waking up about 2-3 times a night. Luckily I have been able to roll over and fall back asleep quickly.
Best moment this week: I have been feeling a little movement almost once a day. It is so exciting!! We bought a fetal Doppler, so we can her the heartbeat at home. I usually start to get worried every couple weeks, so it helps to put my mind at ease.
Cravings: I want to have something to drink all the time. I drink TONS of water, have a coke every now and then, drink milk with dinner, juice with breakfast...all I do is drink! I know I'm not dehydrated, but I always want to have something to drink. Weird...
Movement: Starting to feel some! It happens so quick that I miss it before I realize what happened.
Food cravings: Cheese-It's have been the snack of choice this week.
Have you started to show yet? Yes and I love it! I'm in that good stage right now where I look pregnant but not huge yet.
Gender prediction: We both think boy but will find out for sure on Monday! Everyone will have to wait until Saturday, April 22nd to find out. We will tell our family this day.
Wedding rings: they have actually been loose this week. I think this is from all the water I've been drinking.
Mood: Feeling the effects of stress last week, I have been trying to make sure I relax this week and take things a little slower. Wednesday was a little rough because I had a a lot of things scheduled at school. I'm really trying to remember to slow down.
Looking forward to: We find out on Monday if we are having a boy or a girl!! We are so excited to find out about this little baby swimming around in my belly. =)
Anything Else??? Weird story from Wednesday... I got home from work around 6 and laid on our bed for a few minutes. When I felt my stomach, I felt a hard, little lump in the bottom of my belly. I was worried that it was a small contraction, since I have had them before and it had been a busy day at work. I laid there for a few minutes, but it didn't get any looser. I decided to get out the heart rate doppler to ease my mind. As soon as I found the heartbeat, I felt movement and the lump went away! I think the lump was the baby snuggled up in a ball sleeping. It was a little worrisome, but very cool in the end.

16 Week Update
I got busy and missed a couple weeks of updates. I went to the doctor during my 16th week for a routine monthly check-up. This was my first "normal" appointment. No ultrasound, just a heartbeat check. I had more blood taken...I'm getting pretty good at that part! I had lost 2 pounds since my 12 weeks appointment. I like the doctors scale. =) I heard the heartbeat and it sounded great. We will go back at 18 1/2 weeks for another appointment and to find out the gender!
On a side note...I now have a new doctor. At 12 weeks I went from the fertility doctor to the regular OB. She told me during that appointment that she was not going to be delivering babies any more after August so she could spend more time with her kids. Therefore, I met with the new doctor at my 16 week appointment. She was very nice and seemed excited to be part of the practice and growing her patient list. She has been working at a hospital in the medical center for the past 7 years and is now transitioning into family practice.

17 Week Update
April 4, 2013
How far along? 17weeks, holy cow! We are thankful every week. =)
Total weight gain/loss: It was a good run, but I finally gained some weight. At home, I am up about 1.5-2 pounds. I like the doctors scale better...
Sleep: still,going great! I haven't been as tired, so I'm getting back to my normal 10:00-10:30 bedtime.
Best moment this week: making it through the first round of STAAR! State testing was a little more difficult this year. I'm beginning to realize that stress does effect my body.
Miss Anything? Coke/ Diet Coke. This was the first week I was really craving Diet Coke. I don't miss the caffeine, but I do miss the bubbles. =)
Movement: I think I found the first movement this week! Funny story...we were out to dinner with my parents, Michael, Heather and the kids. I was standing up, rocking Westin back and forth. All of a sudden I felt a weird movement. W may have a jealousy baby on our hands.
Food cravings: before I was pregnant, I loved sweets! Now, I really don't want sweets very much. I have been eating a lot of popcorn, which I weird for me.
Have you started to show yet? Yes and I love it! I'm in that good stage right now where I look pregnant but not huge yet.
Gender prediction: We both think boy but will find out for sure on April 15th
Wedding rings: still on, no problems.
Mood: I have been tense and anxious, mostly due to STAAR testing. Hoping this will pass next week.
Looking forward to: I can't wait to really start feeling some movement.
